I was looking at one of the Games Domain screenshots for your dictator profile flaws and noticed one of the flaws is Tourette's Syndrome.  Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but won't the TS society be up in arms about this?  I'm betting this won't make it past the lawyers into the final game.  What do you think?

I expect you could be right.  Heck, they had to change prostitute to showgirl. They may change the wording of the flaw, but it will still be in the game.  The problem is there will always be something that offends some group.  I am not a real fan of "politically correct."  It is just a game...but I won't get on my soap box here!!

I believe it's some sort of combined mental/physical ailment that causes uncontrollable outbursts of profanity, among other things.  I think that's why the reference to the dictator's annual speeches.  Smiley

MrP - Luke was referring to Alex Trabeck, popular game-show host of Jeopardy here in the United States.  Don't worry...you didn't miss any posts! Smiley

No probs Luke, it's clearly a North American in joke. kinda like on Friends when the crowd laugh and all my Friends, err friends, just sit there with a dumb look on their faces. Some things just fly over our heads.
