Yeah, I'm planning to pre-order Skyrim[^] as well. Not going to bother with the collector's edition though. $150 vs. $60? I'll take $60, heh. I'm getting the PS3 version, but I'll likely get the PC version later via Steam sale.

Prepare for a smackdown... You can't post programming questions here!!
If I was nasty, I would suggest that your inability to follow instructions is probably why you can't get the snake to move!!

THE S.D.A.
Do you long for a simpler time?
A time of ignorance, illiteracy, oppression, and disease?
A time when beating people up with sticks was considered a romantic
art form?
JOIN THE S. D. A.
The S.D.A. (Sociopaths of the Dark Ages) is an organization dedicated to
reviving the values and attitudes of Mediaeval Europe.
FEAST on maggoty meat, moldy bread, and muddy wine!
ENJOY MIDEAVAL SPORTS like bull baiting, cat bashing, witch burning,
heretic torturing, and dying a broken down scrofulous wreck by your early
30s!
RELIVE THE GOOD OLD DAYS when men were men and women were property!
When you had the freedom to defecate any where at any time! When any
official of the all knowing True Church could imprison you, kill you, and
send you to eternal damnation at whim!
Of course, you can pay to join the S.D.A. as a minor noble (like everyone
else has), but we especially want to recruit peasants. Peasantry get to
do all the work for the nobility, in exchange for which the nobility get
to beat, rob, torture, rape, and kill the peasantry for amusement.
We wish to restore the proper Dark Ages balance of hundreds of peasants
for each noble... at present we have an unfortunate shortage of
peasants (well, okay, none actually). Join as a peasant and the S.D.A.
will waive your initiation fee. You need only to supply your own
historically accurate costume (consisting of a head to toe covering
of mud, manure, lice, ticks, and open sores).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A fascinating fantasy, Dan, immediately brought to mind Blake's words in the part of "Heaven and Hell" titled "A Memorable Fancy:"
"As I was walking among the fires of hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and insanity. I collected some of their Proverbs: thinking that as the sayings used in a nation, mark its character, so the Proverbs of Hell, shew the nature of Infernal wisdom better than any description of buildings or garments."
Another inducement for peasant-recruits might be the chance for their daughters to have a shot at the Lord of the Manor's genes as he exercises his feudal right (droight de seigneur, ius primae noctis, etc.). The movie BraveHeart incorrectly portrays Edward I of England offering this right to English Lords in Scotland as an inducement.

Please enroll my dear friend, who wishes to remain unnamed for the moment, at your earliest convenience, as a senior member of the nobility - an Earl, at least. And buy me a suitable manor with sufficient serfs to manage the menial labor around the place. Feel free to send the invoice to president@whitehouse.gov. Price is no object, and the taxpayers will not object, I assure you.

So many people get this wrong, I'd hoped you'd be one who knew better.
Arson first. Rape second. It's more romantic by fire light.

Couldn't you just move to Afghanistan instead?
You get all that and don't have to pay to join.
