It's Tura's catch-phrase/tick dating back to the very first story.  She always has a ten-dollar bet on some unpleasant outcome, sometimes explicitly but more often in her head, and she quips 'ten dollars' when she's proved right.  Which is often.

My Damnation Station primer is here.

Ah right, so basically a combination of 'bad luck' and 'told you so'. Thanks, also for the excellent primer. It clarified, even after having just read the old Damnation Station issues.

Doh! I knew that - not sure how I managed to type Simon's name!

Perhaps because Davis was really good on the old Damnation Station (progs 1677-1692)? Just read it because I was getting confused on the current run and thought it might help.

General / Damnation Station: $10?

Anybody any clue why our friends in Damnation Station keep saying 'ten dollars'?

Aha! Glad I found this post. Wanted to say how much I way enjoying The Off-Lode Experience in this month's bundled floppy, but couldn't.

How can I tell I'm not a bot? It feels like I'm human, but how can you really tell?

Could you make an exception for this possible bot and activate me please?

Thanks in advance!
