We do not realize how precious to us the air is, until one day there is no air to breathe.
We do not realize how precious to us the water is, until one day there is no water to drink.
We do not realize how precious to us the freedom is, until one day there is no freedom to exercise.
We do not realize how precious to us Littlegolem is, until one day there is no LG to play on.
Hope that LG will stay forever, and that more players will support it, financially and spiritually.

only when the last tree has been cut down,
only when the last river has been poisoned,
only when the last fish has been cought,
only then will you find, that money cannot be eaten.
\* i really liked this one to tell you :-)

Hi, Erwin, you are absolutely correct. So, while there are still food, trees, fish, etc. on earth, let us eat (or spend) our money, and spend it wisely. :)
If we enjoy LG so much, please, spend 20 minutes and support this wonderful website by becoming members. I will continue to nag even I may offend some people.
Have a nice weekend.

You are so right, Tim! :-)
What attracts me most is that a membership gives the members zero extra rights/features, and that it isn't an obligation! Everyone is equal here. See, that's how good LG is for us! Something this good must be worth something to you people :-)

Hi, Klaashaas, thanks for the comments. Yes, no extra privileges for members, this is a great policy and concept. Unfortunately, many have played hundreds of games at LG, are immersed in their own enjoyment, but do not bother to spend 20 minutes to register for membership.
I doubt if this apathy is a reflection of money (especially for players residing in the U. S.). Perhaps it is related to inconvenience.
Recently, I have attended two weddings. From both of which, I have received no thank-you cards, nothing, for my gifts to the couples, for dressing up in a tie and a suit, and for my time of half a day. It is obvious that it is inconvenient for the couples to have to send out so many thank-you cards to their friends.
Perhaps showing gratitude is no longer a part of human culture any more.

"Perhaps showing gratitude is no longer a part of human culture any more"
make that a differents??

Well I spent more than twenty minutes and payed money with paypal some time ago. But I am still listed as "not a member" :-(
ABTW if money was printed on rice paper we would be able to eat our money when the last tree was cut etc ;-)

'Well I spent more than twenty minutes and payed money with paypal some time ago. But I am still listed as "not a member" :-('
ive got the same:( (i sent to Richard postal order on late april)

Fantastic, thank you!!!!!! It will take a few days to change your red non member to blue member. So be patient. :) Patience will help us not to hit our opponents' faces when they do not resign under 100% hopeless situations.
And squeeky wheels get the grease, indeed.
ummmm, rice money, a great idea. or another not so great idea: let us revert back to the primitive barter system. Then it would be more difficult for a movie star or a CEO to make $50 millions a year. :)

'(...) blue member.' as far as i know its black;)

Ah, if both David and na_wspak had to spend more than 20 minutes to pay/register, then perhaps the registration system is not too friendly.
Could Richard simply provide also a postal address for those who just like to send personal checks or money orders non-electronically? :) Good day or good night.
16 May 2004
i didnt use paypal. i asked Richard for his postal adress and sent him an international postal order. i think anybody willing to support lg could do the same if (s)he doesnt prefer electronical/internet way.
16 May 2004
A question for you, na_wspak, do you have to physically go to the post office to do the sending in your country?
Oh, on the other hand, sending at the post office should not be a big deal. We can do so conveniently during an occasional outing to the postal office. :)
16 May 2004
yes Tim i had to do so. post office aint far away (about 1 min on a bike) but i've been waiting in a queue quite long. ah and it was first international postal order for miss(is) behind the desk so it took longer than usually too. however lg is worth all of those discomforts;)
16 May 2004
In the U. S., if Richard provides us with a postal address, we can simply
\* get the checkbook out
\* write a check
\* lick the envelope and the stamp
\* perhaps write down the player ID #, as mine is #4189.
\* drop the envelope in a mailbox on the way out
These steps at most should take 10 minutes.
When we ourselves work, we get paid; when we ourselves are nice, we like to be rewarded. Our webmaster has been working hard for us, and has been very nice. We all witness this. :)

well i also could have sent cash or check in an envelope but i think its not too safe...
