This repository would not be possible without the huge help of our players. Big thanks to all of them. Special thanks namely to: Conrad_Melville, Flovo, Kosh, Metaphysician splurgist :). Feel free to send them a thank you. And most of the mistakes probably fall on my head, and you're welcome to PM me with any ideas/comments - AdamR
