Hey Everyone… [Page 01 of 01]

First of all, I just want to say sorry. I know how much I let everyone down when I left suddenly. I know that it feels a little bit like I threw a big temper tantrum over nothing, and looking back on it I sort of did. But without getting into it, I also was going through some big real life stuff at the time, and I was really feeling like I was already disappointing everyone IRL, so to suddenly be messing up here too really hit hard.
Second, wow! You guys really outdid yourselves with the FAQ updates.
Anne, I love all the lore connections you made to the previous games, I never would've known half that stuff. Zelgadysk, I cannot even imagine how long it took you to map out ALL the masks from ALL the different clans/houses in Alteros. That's unbelievable. Unforgiven, I know we have different ideas for what goes into a strategy guide, but I think you really did show me the benefit of including some additional info. I might just try to do something like that in the next battle update! And Alukard, believe it or not, it was reading your update that got me to pick the game back up. Seeing all of those names and story bits… it made me SO CURIOUS about where everything was going… so I had to pick the controller back up.
Anyway. Thanks so much everyone. I hope you're all doing okay. If it's okay with you all, I'd like to start up on the walkthrough again. I'll incorporate all of your additions and even add your names to the credits. What do you think?
Doom_Tree_Anne
OMG of course! So glad to have you back Nei!
XxZelgadyskXx
I'd love that, Nei. DM me on IRC and we can talk about the details!
Alukard83
You got it, bud. Us true gamers gotta stick together.

I'll be honest, I thought you were too chicken to ever come back around here. Pretty cool that you did. So hell yeah, but only on the condition that I can keep sending you tips to add when you leave them out.
CarlsSr
lol i knew youd come back
TheDiamondRanger
Do you need me to send you any scans of the official strategy guide to help?
PresidentEvil
Why is everyone making a big deal over some loser FAQ writer?

| 0:03.0 | Yes, of course. Did you want to dance as well? |

| 0:34.5 | you know what you're doing, but four is harder, |
| 0:36.6 | for they grow smarter, and soon you'll set them stewing. |
| 0:40.4 | I think Jonathan just turns to the door and kind of like looks over it, and then kind of mutters to himself and says, well, damn, I ain't nobody keeping up with this poor thing. |
| 0:51.3 | And he just starts fixing it. |
| 0:53.7 | You've brought them in, these masks of wind. |

| 1:00.0 | Now come inside and finally hide from this politics roulette. |
| 1:04.7 | Well, see, may your brother open the door and no one needs to duel? |
| 1:09.0 | Dang. I was hoping to see a duel. |
| 1:12.1 | Well, I'm having a big what the fuck is going on moment about being in a spaceship. |
