Thank You, AL

Post by Wynna »

Getting us converted to 1.23 was a struggle of Herculean proportions. Sitting in #alfa-builders these last weeks, watching you work through every single tiny aspect--every single one of which seemed to require reworking everything before--was an education in both tech skills and personal drive. I saw you pull at least one complete all-nighter for ALFA on this update and suspect others. We'll never know, because you don't make a big deal out of your accomplishments or your dedication. At least in this, I can do the work for you.

Thank you, Acadius Lost. OEI may have finally delivered on so many things PWs have wanted for so long, but you have actualized them for us. Every time somebody uses a custom skill, or RPs their region of birth, they are paying homage to your work.
Enjoy the game

What Wynna said, +1 * 10^100 !!!

It has been an education watching AL bring the Custom Skills to fruition over the past year and a half. I am in awe.

Wynna, too, deserves great praise for her fantastic work on the new TSM Travel Maps. Again, I've learned much by watching her in action.

Many thanks to both these stalwarts of ALFA.

I am beginning to think the "AL" in ALFA stands for Acadius Lost ... or it should =)

Many thanks to especially AL, but also Wynna, Curm and all of the others in our community who contribute hours of their personal time and expertise behind the scenes so that we all can escape from time to time in our far away land.

You guys rock.

I think it's pretty safe to say that we would be nowhere without AL at this point. I echo everyone else in saying thank you for your time and energy.

I agree wholeheartedly. Every time I've had a question, regardless of how ridonculous it is, or how many times he has helped me before because it just didn't sink in, AL has been there to help.

It is people like AL that make not only ALFA a better place, but the world in general.

Thanks AL.

I really can't word my praise to AL any better than has already been said. You are indeed the man behind the curtain who keeps all things running mate. Additional praise goes out to Wynna, Curm, BRM, Rotku, Zicada, and all the other folk who keep this community going from behind the scenes.
