    Default Guess who.

    Hey guys…where to begin?

    First, I need to clear the air. No, I’m not going to ask to be put back on the Great War team, nor would I expect to be. I just wanted to let you all know that I didn’t simply ‘disappear.’

    For any of you who know me from when I founded the Great War Mod, you probably know that I have sister with whom I am very close. In April of 2010, she became very ill very quickly, and I’m ashamed to say that I couldn’t handle it. After almost having a breakdown, my life came to standstill, and I’m still picking up the pieces.

    My sister and I all the family each other has, and that made her illness especially difficult. I managed to pull myself together for her sake, and I’m now living with her to do everything I can for her, because she’s needed all the help she can get. Everyday has been sincere challenge, keeping myself together, helping my sister, trying to keep on a ‘strong face’ around her. You see this happen to other people, you read about it, and you never think it’s going to happen to you, and then somehow overnight it just does.

    Though she’s recovering, she isn’t ‘out of the woods’ as they say. Far from it, and I don’t know if things will ever really go back to the way they were.

    I hope you all understand, and being a veteran of this place, I know most of you will. She’s my best friend. She’s everything to me, and watching her like this has truly brought me to my knees.

    If you want to know about me, I’m afraid all I really have to say is that I’ve cleared my head, and that I’m doing better too.

    I hope the community welcomes me back, because I could really use a place like this to just ‘hang out’ again with some light hearted exchanges and ‘heated debates’ over the important matters of TW and modding.

    Thank you, that means a lot.

    And yes, the team has really pulled it off, my one regret is that I was not around for the release of the Startpos, that must have been quite a day.

    Really sorry to hear about what's happened, and it's a given that family matters and real life comes first so fair play; hope for the best for both her and yourself.
    Thank you.

    Welcome back.

    Played it a few times, sorry to say I was not impressed. Perhaps once the Artifexes get their hands on it maybe it will be better?

    Were already trying. Need an updated pfm though as the db headers have changed as have the .unit_variant headers.

    But it should be possible.

    You probably woulda liked seeing this too and the day we got a forum. There are better pics of it floating around but this was the first.



    Anyway you can still catch startpos v2.

    Wow. This really is quite something.

    When you did leave, I think most of us guessed something awful had happened, I am truly sorry to hear about your sister. I have a sister myself, a twin sister actualy, if anything was to happen to her like this, I can't imagine how terrible it would be.

    The team has changed alot since you were gone, and much has happened in the way of modding not only TGW, but modding as a whole.

    If you want to get back into the day to day running of the mod, you are more than welcome to rejoin the dev team officialy, and thus get access to our dev forum.

    Go here..

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/profi...editusergroups

    Then look for the Developer: The Great War


    And request to join the group.

    Welcome back.

    We have much to catch up on.
