George is correct, The devs are actually to blame, as their business model clearly does not take into account customer needs. They are benchmarking against other games and not the requirements of their client base. The narrative and figures speak for themselves.
Nah dude. I just read it a few times and felt your logic circular at best. But I feel yah. These devs suck. I've participated in many early access games. This ones deffinatly the worst and I so not think it will ever release.

I really enjoy this game, I have a demanding career and a family, and I find complex games like Ark and Atlas give me an avenue to unwind. The population, as we all know, has died dramatically. In my opinion, this is because of the scope of the official map not being able to be replicated by unofficial servers. The game is terribly unoptimized, and still has significant bugs that were identified by the population in the first week. The officials became a bloodbath, and I will never play on them again.
I play on a great 3x3 unofficial, with boosted rates, and even it's population has died because whilst the players enjoyed the more casual atmosphere, the size and scope of officials left them wanting more. Rather than go to officials and risk losing their time investment over and over, they left the game.
Devs, your player base exists in unofficial servers. Your current player base of 2500 globally tells you that your official servers are turning people away from the game. The days of grinding endlessly and calling it entertainment are long gone. Concentrate on unofficials, develop a way that they can have more scope and seamless transitions so that the player base that is lying dormant return to the game.
If not, that 2500 will soon become less.
This is a very confusing post. I just want to make sure I have this straight.
1. You love the game.
2. You (and friends?) play unofficial, but vastly prefer the scope and population density of officials. Just not the challenge so much. (Some gibberish about losing things you never had.)
3. Your sad that people are leaving your 3x3 unofficial becuase it's not as exciting as official.
4. But ofc your sure they arent going to official servers, becuase thats what they wanted. So they surely quit.
5. This hardware limitation of the unofficial server provider, is the responsibility of the devs in some way. Becuase thier servers are better.
6. In conclusion, we need better unofficial support from the official providers so that the players who left unofficial becuase it not as good as official will be inclined to come back to the now officially backed, unofficial servers.
So, Who's on 1st. Got it?

3 hours ago, DannyUK said:Get rid of companies and just have 3 or 4 factions for god sake, that way you can focus on PvP instead of having to do both. If you are going down the route of taking control of certain areas I don't see why it isn't faction based anyway.
You are pushing it towards large groups, solo doesn't matter to them, they don't care. Having factions will let solo do their own thing and fight within a faction if they want without large companies saying "you go cut wood today" no thanks, I will play how I want to play but for now I won't be playing at all as it stands, still uninstalled like many other people.
Why isnt it faction based? Becuase it's a sandbox game. They were very upfront about that. Factions wont happen, and that's a good thing becuase we didnt sign up for a theme park. You should get that terrible idea out of your head or go play WoW or ESO or fill in the blank theme park mmo.
They arent pushing it twords large groups. They flat out made it a large group game. Not one single change has ever favored a smaller group over a large group. It's obvious becuase of how easy it would be to balance it out. It's just a god damn shame.

16 hours ago, ATLAS said:Lawless Claim System
- Claim Tower icons viewed through the Spyglass are now only visible for towers within 100m
- Other pathfinder claims can only be seen within 200m on the map
- Your company's claim towers in other grids may now be seen on the map
- Bug Fix: Server reboots should no longer cause parts of ships to be claimed
- Bug Fix: Ships may no longer be claimed with Land Claim Towers
- Bug Fix: Weapons on Cargo Saddles can no longer be claimed
- Bug Fix: Buoys can now be claimed
- Bug Fix: Claim Towers may no longer be placed on Shipyards
- Bug Fix: Fixed some instances of ships exploding on release from shipyard
- Bug Fix: Resolved issue where remaining island points could get out of sync between different servers
- NPCs on armored dock can no longer contest island claims
New Map Layout
- Island Positions have been moved to account for Tradewinds.
-
Harvesting Resources have been overhauled
- Most Resource nodes now have a chance to give some type of common base resource
- Examples include Straw from plants, resin from trees, stone from crystal and gem nodes
- Freeport islands no longer provide metal
-
Grid Specific Settings have been redistributed
- Freeports are only in the south.
- Lawless areas now surround Freeports and give common resources
- Golden Age and Kraken have moved north 2 grids
- Claim Islands only exist around the edges of the map.
- "Lawless" Area Claim take up the remaining maps.
- Weather Conditions and Ship of the Damned have been made more harsh in the north.
- Server Grid Editor - Data Driven tools for adding Resource Templates and applying them to islands have been added to the Server Grid Editor for use on unofficial servers. Visit the Git project for more information.
Devs, really, what is the fucking point of claim towers if you still have island claims? Cheers to megas who will own all of the claimed islands, and now most of the lawless islands. This was a great tool to replace the ability for a company to claim an ENTIRE GOD DAMN ISLAND, and we all know they will claim as many of those per company as they can. You could have at least made it like the new WH where there is only 1 per island per company. Fucks sake.
About the WH change (1 per island per company), Awesome! FINALLY, a good balance for a great tool. This is the best thing you have done this season so far.
How is it possible you had pictures of all the new stupid ass platforms, yet none with the new map? Wouldn't that be the most important change to display visually? Why do we not use the original map we started with that literally EVERYONE loved better than any of these new POS maps. Especially with trade winds. Please give us back our ATLAS (pun intended).
Also, can we please stop forcing this Ark content into Atlas? Why do we even have the ability to tame anything? How does that fit a pirate theme? How does that encourage sea life? Why does a tame need the ability to be a rolling NPC offensive structure? These additions are always bewildering.

19 minutes ago, George of the jungle said:What source? Steam charts? Yeah the info is all there. Numbers have been slowly but consistently lowering. Last wipe the initial was 2100 and only got up to 2900 so even if(which it won’t) just as many people came back it would be within the range I said. It’s a very well educated guess and anyone that disagrees is simply wrong unless they have more evidence that numbers would go above it.
people didn’t just leave because the wipe was coming. They were leaving for 3 months before hand.
I definitely disagree every season is more engaging, unless of course you mean more land based gameplay then sure.
these guys really haven’t been doing a good job at all. Hooray for ark imported platform saddles. That is going to make raiding a lot easier especially for the bigger groups.
Just checking, I don't watch numbers for unreleased games personally. They don't count for much IMHO. I know many more people who wont fuck with EA games than like myself who enjoy seeing the process, or lack therefore of. The numbers of players now are not in any way reflective of what it would be with a full release.
By more engaging I meant, there were some improvements that vastly improved the game for solos and small, even though they went properly balanced for the larger groups. I meant, that I found people to pvp with every day. The overall number of megas felt less, and the number of overall small groups felt more. The updates here on the forum were 2-4 a month for the most part. It was absolutely a better direction that the previous seasons every time. Not that there were no setbacks, yeah the gold for ships, the barrels, ect.
God damn them for more tame BS though seriously. WTF

39 minutes ago, George of the jungle said:Probably won’t get above 2500-3000 players after the wipe and it will go down to below 1k this time.
Source?
I don't know the exact numbers. I will say, every season so far has been more engaging and well thought out than the previous ones. That being said, I am super suspect about this one. Those towers better have been nerfed. Ideally there are no claimable islands anymore. Or else what was the fucking point of towers?
41 minutes ago, George of the jungle said:they are wiping because of programming, they are wiping because they are making another new map that nobody asked for. Just like the first time they changed it and nobody asked for it. The only content they are really making is a platform saddle that is imported from ark. They didn’t really put in any hard work at all.
The original map was perfect, new one sucked. Lots of people were asking for a new (the old one really) map. Hopefully they will restore the size of the old map at the very least.
Cant say they didn't put in ANY work. That's unfair. How long have people (not myself) been asking for trade winds of some sort. The new ship system is being introduced, finally We have all wanted a better ship system that includes better performance.
The tames? Who the fuck knows... It is the one thig we all want less of, and aren't asking for any of that trash and yet it appears in every single update.
1 hour ago, Moxie man said:I know the wipe is done because of programing. But I would love to see you guys wipe every season makes the game fun and completive. I came over from ark and love the farms and warehouses. But the other thing I really like is the wipe after every season would be a great step to help grow the game. Did know if you talked to the developer's and see if they will keep that up for this game?
You can expect an average of about 2 wipes a year. You wont know when they are coming.
If, and a big IF, it ever releases, there could be servers with no wipes.

Never heard of crossout.
@Gemini Five Id love to play SC. IT does look like the most badass game if it were to come out and do what they say it will. Unfortunately, it is totally P2W....even while in Alpha still. I can't justify a game where I can get to the top or get the best "items" for thousands of real life dollars. Those ships look amazing, and if I had thousands of dollars I didn't need I too could "own" one. SC is just a really fancy whale farm, and thats sad to me.
Its not the MOST flagrant type of P2W, because I believe you can "earn" all of those ships in game, but lets get real. That aint likely gunna happen.

Ummm lol what? Who is giving them money every month? There is certainly no army of employees over at GS. There is no massive amounts of money coming in. Hell, I bet they didn't even really get that much from the initial launch compared to what it should be costing to make a successful game of this scale. Have they even sold 100k copies of the game? It has previously been mentioned that Atlas is in the bottom 100 games on steam.
@Keins Thallow Don't expect this game to ever release. Unless you think SC is actually going to be finished and released someday. If that is the case, then expect this game to release first. You would be beyond help at that point anyways.
Like this guy...he's fucked in the head.

Dude, the game had already been in alpha for like 5 years at that time. That's like buying a new Atlas ship....3 years from now.....and still having not seen it 8 years from now...AND still thinking it would release.....someday......

This is the PVE vs. PVP argument from PVE playerI’ve started and refuse to play pvp anymore I’ve done pvp in various games since AOL. I’m tired of pvp I want a game when I can go play walk away for a few days if I want or have to. Then come back and just feed animals then play when I can. What you pvp players don’t get or even want to get is some of us actually have lives, work, families and have no interest in being “on-call”. Some of us can only do a few hours a week not 6 or more hours a day. I refuse to have a game dictate my life and for many of you, if you want that to happen, go for it. You want to do away with pve then you’ll loose the game entirely. It’s that simple. The pve players are the most consistent users of this game. But we are also the ones the most willing to leave a game entirely to find something similar to their play style. If you drop pve or combine pve few if any may follow but a majority will just leave. So even if it’s a third of the current player base no sane company can tolerate a permanent 1/3 loss of player base in a game that’s struggling to get by now.
Wow, what an arrogant and uneducated statement. Projecting much?
I assure you, we have lives, families, jobs, sleep needs, just like PvE players do. We have the same general time available to play each day as you do. We are just more well adjusted people who don't lose sleep at the thought of our make believe base getting raided. Its part of the game. You know that player generated content they always speak of? If I don't make the base you cant raid it. Ever wonder why it sucks dick to play PvE? Ever feel like some of the content is missing? or shouldn't even be there to begin with?
The most consistent users of the game? Lol, by what metric, you just pulled that out of your ass. You certainly are not the ones most willing to leave AND the most consistent players at the same time. That's called an oxymoron.
If a game ever dictates you life, the problem is not with the game. Its a mental situation that you need to deal with.
Rest assured, if ALL of the PvE players left (they wont), the game would not die.
1. The game has not released yet, so it has technically not been "born" therefore it cannot yet "die". (shhh don't attack my metaphor trumpists)
2. The game is a PvP focused game weather or not you want to acknowledge it. Ultimately the PvE crowd as it currently exists does not concern the development, release, or success of this game. If you disagree with me, I invite you to go read over the last several patches and dev notes.
TLDR: Worst non-argument ever. Very poor representation form the PvE crowd.

16 hours ago, Ranger1k said:Love the post but I just wanted to clarify one thing. You ARE advocating for a map that mixes PvP and PvE, correct?
The games I have enjoyed the most did not have PvP and PvE servers, just servers where the game was played on. This option is the creation of a younger generation of player base, I think.
Rip the band aid off. I would advocate for and support dropping the PvE server all together. That won't make me many friends with the die hard PvE never PvP crowd. The hate is one-sided for sure though. PvP peeps love PvE peeps. They are so much better at killing bosses and farming maps. If walls were balanced correctly, many of them are way better architects, farmers and tamers. Hell we NEED the PvE guys, and I feel they could use us (PvP) too. To take out the enemy towers and FHs/WHs/Markets. They certainly can't do any of that right now.
If It were up to me, I would never have allowed a PvE server to exist to begin with. Not for dickish reasons, its just not what the game was ever designed to do. Much the same as I wouldn't take a Honda Accord to to compete in a NASCAR race. Yeah, it does drive and accelerate and can turn left with the best of them, but it would never feel right or do good because its not what it was designed to do.
However they did, so now we are in this Jerusalem/Palestine dynamic. I suppose that makes Grapeshot America, or at least the allies lol.
They will not focus on PvE. They just never have, and that's been their position pretty much from the start. Lets stop the toying with the PvE guys. Its not fair to the PvE crowd when shit like the towers gets released into their environment. Its every time too. The solutions do not exist for PvE to contest FHs, WHs, markets, Towers, blockading, structure griefing, ect ect.
There is a compromise that I think would work, I did not invent this concept. I can't be sure my exact setup is even original. Although not my first choice, I would have no problems with this setup.
1. So lets bring back the 15x15 map. That was 225 squares. 9 GA, 15 Free ports, 56 lawless and 145 claimable grids.
2. Every grid that is bordered on 2 or more sides by lawless, can have freeport settings with walls, foundations and roofs available for placement. That would be 46 grids.
3. That would make it; Out of 225 grids, 99 claimable grids, 56 lawless, 46 PvE, 15 free ports and 9 GA.
4. This would keep the focus on PvP, maintain some PvE bubbles and pays homage to the 2:1 ratio of PvP to PvE servers we currently have.
5. Remove island claims.
6. Allow the towers to only be used on claimable grids.
7. Leave lawless the fuck alone. It ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

Map changes? This one is super easy. Bring back the original map. It was possibly the most well thought out part of the game to date.
Trade winds? Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Longitude lines, wind blows 2x faster within 100m. North winds on the east side of the line, South winds on the west side.
Latitude lines, wind blows 2x faster within 100m. West winds on the north side of the line, East winds on the south side.
Island claim to stick around after the wipe? WHAT!? Then WTF is the point in inventing a new claim system? You have secured MEGAS monopolizing islands, but have now fucked solos in the ass. There is no where to go....Just....WTF man?!
"Large behemoth companies can't do everything on their own, and they can't protect everything at once."
"This creates opportunities for smaller groups to be part of the wheels of progress or engage in acts of piracy"
"We also are laying the foundation for Wonders that players can build in the world by creating a general system for giving buffs to your company based on buildings you've built."
I want to make sure I am not misunderstanding this. As a solo, I GET to be part of a wheel for the behemoth companies to use? So that they can then build a wonder. That will then in turn give them MORE power? You don't think they can do everything on their own?
Devs, are you retarded? Can I buy some drugs from you?
Yes, yes the mega company CAN do everything on its own. BECUASE YOU MADE IT THAT WAY!
As a solo, the FH, WH and market system is a dream. With just ONE it allows me to have a brig in a week. Gathers the mats so I don't waste time with the god awful tames. Even gets me the gold needed. With 2 Market systems, gold becomes useless. Mats are so abundant that after 1 mil of each I throw it all away, it takes very little time. I can make as many of these as I want. I can only maintain so many by my lonesome self.
As a MEGA, I can field as many as I can find crewmates to help maintain. In the words of Palpatine "UNLIMITED
POWERMATS & GOLD!!!!!You thought that megas would make exceptions and trade with solos/smalls to generate money and mats in a mutually beneficial way. However you forgot to limit the number of these markets/WHs/FHs per company. Why would any mega allow me to run my market system for half the reward when they can throw down a claim tower, take my shit and get all of the reward. Leave me with nothing. There is no cost or penalty or risk to them by doing this. Pure reward. Its full blown idiocy.
WTF IS THE INCENTIVE FOR MEGAS TO COEXIST WITH SOLOS!
#LEARNTOMATHS
"We are focused on making Atlas one of the best and most unique pvp games out there."

@PVE peeps
How long have I been saying it? Don't be mad. If nothing else, this has been the consistent messaging from day 1.
No factions, let that arguement die.
Lets merge into one server and call it PvPvE. Anyone who just cannot handle human interaction as the game was intended, will move on eventually anyways. Stop deluding them and stringing them along. They get their hopes up and we all know it aint gunna happen.

"Did someone scuttle your shitty harbor?"
"Nope not me, But i saw it to others"
So you are super concerned with something that you have never experienced. The one time you have even heard of it was years ago, on a different map, with a much different game environment. OK. This we have established.

The use of my base was to never lose shit to other players. Especially argent little slaves of mega companies who think they are better than anyone else because other people did most of the work for them. Now, my base was literally 100% successful for the use I built it for, over the entirety of several seasons. I have in no way described its form, but what would that matter to you if its function is all that concerns you? What did I even say to give you the impression that I was some PvE RP person?

I dont know WHY you want to defend being a POS maybe its just who you are deep inside i guess.
I am here for the sake of game design. Simply put, Risk/Reward should be greater, not lesser as you would have it.
You advocated for something that would diminish your risk without reducing your reward. Over a thing that has never even been a real threat for you.
More specifically, via the nature of this type of game, the group with greater numbers has an exponential advantage over a solo/smaller group. The only single downside that currently exist is the .01% chance of an insider. It is the only advantage of being solo, no one knows all of my locations and 0% chance of an insider.
I am not the person who wants to wreck your shit. I am the person that would join if there were more risk and reward.
The risk to the mega SHOULD be I can take what I want and leave. The reward to the mega is that it would bring an experienced player like me to your group.
The risk for me is I lose all of my crafts to the company should I be kicked. The reward to me is the work of all the other crewmates while retaining my full gaming experience.
I do not and will not be a subject of a dictator. I will not be denied any access be it lvl 1 or 10 or 99. I think the very idea of limitations on your crewmates is anathema to the concept of a sandbox. The risk SHOULD be bigger with more people. Because you can achieve so much more so much faster.
Its not me defending my right to be a piece of shit. Witch I will gladly defend. This is me defending EVERYONES right to be a piece of shit. I certainly reserve the right to as an American and will happily defend yours too.
Oppression is a slippery slope my friend. Lets not throw away our values for our security.

Now Lawless is not that as its owned so should be Law and Claimed. There was a point to being a lawless going unseen as your enemy searched for you while farming the Rare resource, Now you just having a shit stick saying HERE I AM
Now they've just shown where the enemies are in LAWLESS areas so the Small group that do usually settle going undetechted now have a come get me sign because if they dont someone else is gonna claim there base.. We put one down to have a test of it to find we claimed someones half a base lmfao. all we did was demolish a wall and we owned there resource box and ammo while they had a few storages and there door. ITS A JOKE SYSTEM
Its a pointless attempt - There major focus was to bring more sea exploration hence the Dolphin/Seahorse as its is a sea game as such This claiming system will not want people to explore, because ur base will be gone within 40minutes, its the same as the BUG on the Seaforts not allowed to build on it but yet you can place an armoured Dock and just place a fob boat there. Now that makes sence too (Not)..
WANT PEOPLE TO GO TO SEA MORE???? Remove the Barrel from SHIPS lol Been Complained about for what 2/3 Seasons but its still here lol... No one and i mean no one wants to spend hours doing a boat to lose it in 3 barrel shots and with the cost of ships now. I admit Im guilty i use a Barrel on the back just so i can match my Opponant but i really HATE this.
In No game SEA type have i seen barrels been shot from. Barshot yes that was a thing.. but come on!
They really need to look into this, atleast there last team put the PTR up for awhile to be tested by the community before implementing, Now this team run it for a couple days or so and i doubt there testing otherwise they'de know the issue's and not release its last couple of updates. eg: Armoured/Claims.
Only thing that did come decent from the patches were the glider stam drain and movement of that aswell as increased flame damage of Balista. they still allowed the barrels to be shot from boats but hey thats another story lol.
I really don't disagree with anything you said here. Except the PTR. I view us in EA as the PTR. Some will disagree, but it is what EA is for. Even if smaller companies abuse it, it's a good tool for what it does.

It would actually be "demolishing" your harbor in any event. I never said I wanted to demo your shitty harbor. I in fact don't want to, please stop the strawman tactics. Do you have any idea how much time that would take? If you are a proper mega you would have thousands of pieces to demolish. Any competent company would kick me out before I did more than a few minutes of dmg. I wouldn't even spend the effort to blow up more of your base than necessary to raid you. You are painting a picture of the most powerful companies in the game being under constant assault of insiders.
As to my shitty base. Although I do not think you are qualified to deem a base you have never seen shitty, it may perhaps be shitty compared to yours. You are in a mega after all and have many many more people to "assign" as builders. However I cant say that because I have never seen your base. I have seen several, ok some, megas bases. They all looked pretty shitty to me. Not a single architect among you sadly.
This comes back to your god complex. Only YOU should judge who can and cant build a base of worth apparently.
Outside of season 1, I have never lost anything in my base apart from decoys. I have lost some tames back in the day, rarely though. No gold was ever taken. No rare mats looted. No BPs lifted. No gear, normal to mythic, was made off with. I also never had a giant island advertising my presence, but I also never invited 99 people into my company and got obsessed with becoming the pirate dictator.
Your straw manning me has gotten us off topic. You made no mention of opposition to my point as stated in both of my posts you have responded to. I will take that as a consent that I am correct. Your purposed changes are in fact unjustified. They are a nice request in your eyes, but far from a necessity.
Have a nice day...idiot (see now I have insulted you too).

Hoping the devs would actually do research instead of saying its a new system
its been done and it failed.
To be fair there are some differences. The main one being there is a hard limit to how many you may have. This alone makes it vastly better that the unlimited claims from season 1. You can argue there is still too many per company, but we are getting closer for sure.
Now, they went about this incorrectly. In no way should this ever take over your boat, that mechanic already exists and supplementing it is redundant and a waste of time and effort. This should have been released with a wipe and removal of island claims. Under those circumstances it is likely that the towers would be received in a whole different light. No one would have anything built up yet to be taken over.
PvE should not even have these towers. Or land claims or island claims at all for that matter. That's as far as my sympathy will ever go for you all on PvE

Im sorry if being locked out Scuttling some one harbors and all thier boat is on youre agenda and not being able to is "MORE CONTROL"
You as a solo player dont know what it takes so please STFU about things you dont know about.So, I said your mega was "likely" abusing things. You say as a solo I "dont" know what it takes. Wasn't there something about absolutes and the sith?
You took it personally I see. So I should ASSUME that your mega didn't take over an island or 3, THEN go into lawless areas and pushed out solos and smalls to set up more market systems to then trade back to yourself. Or perhaps that's just not abusing a system to you, with no regard to the solo. I should also ASSUME that no one in your mega went out and started throwing down claim towers on lawless while still holding islands. I will also ASSUME that no one in your mega (witch I also assume is full or near full roster) has ever cheated with third party software. I will assume as well that every member has been vetted and invited over for dinner to ensure their online identity. No your right, I am probably the imbecile here. Hey, if I am wrong here, I am wrong, but your mega would then be the outlier. Lets be honest.
5 hours ago, PHaRTnONu said:How is GIVING YOU A OPTION TO JOIN restricting you in ANY WAY?? its a fucking choice you clown, one you dont have. Not having the perms restricts you from it.
Who the fuck is asking you to do anything? No one. you have some horrible ideas about what goes on in a mega.I have been in a mega, twice actually. They said "don't build, we have builders". They said "go here for FoB NOW". They said "Don't shoot these people", even though we are not in an alliance. "READ THE DNS LIST" because it only changed 3x a day. They allowed me, ever so graciously, to access the second from lowest set of doors and shit. There is a lot of DOs and DONTs in a mega. The people "asking" are usually the ones who have no restrictions I found.
There is a reason I play as a solo. I don't have horrible ideas about megas, just some RL experience. Giving me the "OPTION TO JOIN" is not restricting me, and I never said it was. I am only restricted AFTER I join. When I can no longer use doors I built. When I can no longer demo things I built to even get myself out of a structure. When, if you had your way, I would be restricted to only sail the boat you allow me too. This is a pretty straight forward concept that should be easy to grasp and not questionable as weather or not you are (or are wanting to be) imposing restrictions on other players.
It's not about me wanting to sink your ships. Its about wanting the respect you would give any sensible adult. We are playing a game and I would be happy to play with you. So long as I can do everything in the game that you can and you don't think of yourself as above me in any way. I think that is very reasonable.
6 hours ago, PHaRTnONu said:Your entire post is your incorrect assumptions and has nothing to do with providing CHOICES to the player base.
My post was a response to yours, and it was not incorrect.
My point was;
"When you say "Literally NEVER going invite new players able to come in and scuttle all the boats in the harbor." You are "Literally" wrong"
This was then proved by the fact that you ARE a mega. Meaning you DO have a full or nearly full roster. So you DO invite new players, and they COULD scuttle some boats. So your supposition is incorrect.

Yeah, cramped my style for sure lol. I spent maybe an hour just staring at the announcement like...wtf guys.
All of my fakes are gone, I am at this point done for the season. Was a good season to be sure. I look forward to the challenge of next season.
