		<description>Crazy story and yeh I NEVER Design on spec in this game is far too much scope for people to just rip ya off, way off the world isn&#039;t it.

Don&#039;t agree it can give you the chance to  work on stuff you might need later, examples  and map out a plan should be plenty should just have to prove your good enough and work out a base price.
