Bate responded by aiming a pistol at the doctors-needless to say, his leg was not amputated.

Cast your vote! Should we keep the old system, where if you fall 5 or more points behind, questions are then worth double points value?

I'm not sure if I like that system or not, so please let me know what you'd like to see...

Mike, CWT

General Deas spent $28,000 of his own money to furnish the 22nd Ala. with Enfield rifles...

I think everyone should receive only the points assigned to each question...No bonus points for being behind... +=0)

He equipped them with fine Enfield rifles at his own expense. It cost him approximately $28,000. (and that is in 1860's dollars!)

I don't think you should double up on points, Mike. But, with all due respect, I think the Q's should be put up in a timely manner so players don't have to search at all hours of the day to find them. As you know, that situation cost me 2 points early in this game.
