Aw, thanks!
But I just want you to read and enjoy!

I'm looking forward to the challenge with a certain amount of glee as well as trepidation. It's been a while since I've managed a combat scene on that scale, and it will be interesting trying to keep them all in character and keep it comprehensible and fast-moving for the reader.

However, I wrote the FAQ (or at least one FAQ) on text-based multi-player combat. (Once. A long time ago. It's still on the web somewhere.)
