TOP TEN REASONS IBGAMES IS CHARGING FOR FED

Well, ibgames is finally charging for Federation. We all knew it was going to happen-we just didn't know when. But now, the time has come. However, I've got the inside scoop as to why ibgames has decided to start charging. So, as my final Top Ten List before Tickenest shuffles off this mortal coil, I give you:

10. In a moment of weakness, they bet on the Jets in the Super Bowl.
9. Icedrake mistook the petty cash for a Candy planet.
8. The constant attacks on ibgames headquarters by those darn macro-dumpers.
7. Maintaining their RL alts was becoming too expensive.
6. The enormous expense incurred when Crypto forgot to hit SAVE on the only existing copy of the game code.
5. 'Pay-to-play' is just so catchy.
4. By having all staff stay in the game 24/7, they can make a killer profit off themselves.
3. The VLA made them do it.
2. They need funding for their missile silos in Scotland.
