Anyone who has ever talked to me, whether in game or out (IRC, facebook, forums, you name it), has been an influence on my behavior and personality in one way or another.
EXCEPT THOSE WHO HAVE POSTED IN THIS THREAD AND HAVE NOT MENTIONED ME.
I really cannot pick a selected few because it would be unfair. I spent half of my last night retrospecting EVERY moment I had gone through with this game. I could write paragraph after paragraph about every person, including GameSamba and NGD personnel, but I don't have to. You know who you are and what you did and every tiny move counts to me.
Kudos to players that say hi to me on general chat for no real reason.
