Firstly, a huge 'thank you' to all the players over the decades for making a pile of text come alive with human intrigue.
Thank you Tim Stryker, for creating the platform. RIP.
Thank you Sean Ferrell, for planting the seed of this text fantasy world.
Thank you Rick Hadsall, for recognizing value and preventing the banks from cremating it.
Thank you Ron Kinney, for giving the player some options.
Thank you Eric Nusbaum, for making an alternate platform to keep things afloat.
Thank you Duckula, for rescuing the platform and keeping it viable. (Massive wins in recent years)
Thank you Daniel Spain (dspain), for the dedicated preservation and continuation of a game so influential for so many.
As a fan from the early days of this game, and living through the early internet, I'm utterly impressed by the efforts these folks have gone to so we can still play. To both relive and share this game as completely as is currently possible is astonishing.
There is no point to this post other than to say thank you. If I missed someone who deserves credit or got an order mixed up, please forgive the omission—it's just a heartfelt thank-you from an old player.
I am just one.
But when one speaks, there are often several similar voices who remain silent.
