Sorry for the intrusion...

You were hesitant to even read these forums? The SE4 forums or the Shrapnel forums in general? Why, were we all that bad?

Oh no, Ed. I don't mean anyone was "bad." I was just so new to it all and didn't understand the warmth and sense of community you all foster here. I felt like I was a peeping tom at someone else's party. Now that I've talked with so many of you and shared a few brewski's with some in person, I'm more in awe than ever at the warmth and sense of community!

And Will, I actually think that charge goes on Mac's tab

We could take up a collection, Will...

Thanks, guys! I remember a few years ago when I was hesitant to even read these forums. One time I was logged in and lurking when suddenly a new thread appeared, something like "there's a lassie in our midst!" Was that you, Mac? Sounds like him, doesn't it?

So I guess you might be upset if we were to start posting banner ads between posts?

I think I found the thread in question

Edit: Hmm looking back I am not sure that was a good thread lol

Looking through that old thread, it's brought back a lot of memories. There's also a lot of names there that I don't see around anymore 'Tis sad to see.

***Those no longer with us (at least, not often)***

My Dear Annette,

Your presence is always welcomed within these hallowed forums. You and the rest of the Shrapnel crew are more then welcome to join in on any topic. I'm sure the rest of the forum members also enjoy the warmth of your smile and Tim's obsession with Chain mail women and his vanilla cravings. We are the ones that are visiting your home and not the other way around, posting shrapenl news is a great way for us to keep up to date on current events within the shrapnel community, its a tremendous plus that the personnel let alone the owners of a game company find the time to not only post the latest news, but to take the time and actually interact with the forum community. That says a lot to all of us and only makes your company more unique then all the others. We thank you for allowing us into your home and putting up with our ravings upon all the different topics and allowing us to have a cantina or two to sit and enjoy some brewskis and indulge in meyhem with the fine people here in the forum.

I will be ordering a copy of Dominions3 now that you hooked me on it and which in turn, I have hooked several of my friends (who also be ordering it)

In reference to my Tab , alas I find it has become quite full (how I don't know ) So in all fairness, I shall foreward everything to Growltiggas and Tesco's Tabs

Why Mac, that was almost gallant. I guess I've grown so accustomed to the barroom persona that this caught me off guard.

Ahhh, you haven't met Mac, The Lady's Man. Everyone should take notes

CW, thank you for finding that thread. I was mortified at first, but it's probably what brought me to understand the community.

Mac, I love you. Always have; always will. I'm so glad you learned to like Dom 2. I know it's got a steep learning curve. The documentation in Dom 3 will blow your socks off. Did you use Bruce Gyrek's walkthrough for Dom2? Illwinter hired him to write the manual for Dom3 - It's just short of 300 pages of coil bound beauty!

I love you guys, really...and I'm not just saying that because I'm sleep and shower deprived from being in the fulfillment center all weekend

[Caduceus]

The words "coil-bound beauty" brings a tear to my eye and a flutter to my heart.


We're looking forward to Dominions 3 a great deal.

Can't wait for my preorder to ship! Hopefully it won't take too long to get to western Canada...
