Isn't that "Through a friend"?
It's all fun and games until someone loses a lawsuit. Oh, and by the way, sending me private messages won't work. :/ If you must contact me, there's an e-mail address listed on the website in my profile.

Perhaps we need "Through a relation"?

Aren't you friends with the people in your family?

Are you kidding me, i've been forced to share a room with one of my brothers for the last 7 years what do you think, sleeping on the top bunk above a snoring creep, and he's the one who showed me it, actually, well i kinda looked over his shoulder and then searched for half an hour on my harddrive to find it. :D Ever wonder why i have to wait like a month to get each version, with this one i had to download it at a time when he needed the computer and told him he couldn't use it untill he installed it :lol: as he's the admin, but at least he can compile it from source rather then waiting for a RPM.

As long as you didn't learn it from someone who is an *enemy*, "through a friend" is the option to PICK, never mind whether it's technically true.

Or we could just add "trough Assasin" to the poll.

hmmm..."through gamer" and "through developer" could be other two options to add.

hmmm... well, I don't recall where I downloaded it from, probably through Tucows, but it was mentioned a while back on another forum I frequent by a lurker named *checks logs* Cirornir. Just didn't get really around to it at the time. Don't think that quite qualifies as a friend though, so I'll check "Other Web Site"

Other: I think I found it on the apple website under the list of games. Even if I didn't, I have found out of new releases there and on other mac game sites.

I found it on the sourceforge project page last year when it first got put on sorceforge. It took me till last week to upgrade to a newer version and now join this forum though :)
