Hi everybody!
My name is Adam and i used to play Alliance New Hampshire off and on a couple years ago (I was one of the samurai elves). Mostly due to my friends Toddy (aka Ithaca) and Josh (aka Ozio) who constantly rant about how awesome alliance is and my nature to generally keep an eye on forums for games I used to play when I get bored, I read this forum still every once and a while.
While I haven't played in years, I happened to randomly visit these forums again and read the write-up for this. It makes me happy to know that Gary and all you guys are still running one of the best and most epic larps I have ever played in. Seriously, my time I played in New Hampshire is often quoted to my CT gamer friends as some of the most fun and well run LARPs I have ever been too. I often joke about how I used to go deadlands as my vacation away from my regular LARP schedule around these parts and from the other org I play in (non boffer).
As someone who is an ST and in charge of a worldwide organization section of genre for a game (again different Non Boffer Larp org), I will say I have always been unbelievably impressed by this game. Gary and all the staff do an amazing job, and I won't Lie, I have stolen many ideas from Nero to use in my own games (not plots, just stuff like a player rep ST, white head bands to represent ooc, etc). Whenever my own staff complains, I tell them about Dead lands and how much of an amazing game they run with an even larger player base and for an entire weekend.
So yea, I just wanted to say thanks for the good times and great memories I have had in Deadlands. And how happy I am to see that Gary and all of you still make this game absolutely amazing.

P.S. Hi Ray, if you remember me
