That freakin' Hensley was nothin' but trouble. You losers said he "made" me. He MADE me? He made ME? Frak he did! I'm freakin' Captain Mako! I eat nerds like him for breakfast! And did you ever READ those stinkin' newspaper missions he wrote? What crap! "Knock, knock. Pizza guy. Extra helping of EVIL?" What the frak does that even mean?

And now he thinks he's gonna go make his own game? What a loser! I'll kill him. I'll moiderize 'im! I'll tear 'im limb from limb. I'll tear off his head and puke chum down his neck! I'll....

Aw, good riddance.

Hi all! Thanks VERY much for the kind words. I have quietly told a few folks on our forums at Deadlands.com what I'm moving on for--you're welcome to check it out there. It's probably not polite to advertise it here.

Cryptic is a great place, and CoH / CoV has been fantastic to work on. I will still continue to play--I have several fairly high-level characters. I also know some of the stuff Posi has coming for CoX and it's *fantastic*.

Take care everyone, and happy trails!

Hey! Thanks again for all the kind words. The Zone and Mission Designers here are *brilliant* and really bring the world alive. Just like you guys and gals I find myself getting whacked constantly because I'm too busy reading their text. :P

My favorite--and I say it all the time now in response to just about anything I feel like--is "I like pie." You'd be surprised how far that will get you. Try it next time you're at lunch, getting a speeding ticket, or are asked to do something really technical (my favorite).

When Jack got the Jake Emmet mission the first time, the model was...not flattering. It's random within a group of male, casual NPCs which one you get, so there's nothing I can do about it! (I did all the newspaper missions, dialogue, entry text, etc.) I still seem to have my job though. Must be those pictures of Statesman and Recluse having tea and crumpets* together...

(*What the heck are crumpets anyway?)

Just wanted to say "thanks!" for all those who spoke with Statesman or Lord Recluse "off the record" and actually respected it here on these boards. The fans on these forums are by far a cut above the norm.

I also had a great time meeting so many of you at WonderCon. It was great to see how excited people are about CoV!

See you at GenCon and Origins.
