I wont lie. The amount that you use buddy and matey makes me want to punch face. It's maddening.

My problem is that there isn't one faction I like overall. I hate the bikes for all of the factions but the Warrior Nation. Their horses are cool and thematic. However, I think their troops like pretty mediocre. There are lots of solid Boss & Underboss models for all of them, but some are more interesting than others.

With all that being said, for the $115 sweet spot it isn't a bad deal, especially if it ends up reaching the mini rulebook and you get that for free or for very cheap. I dunno if I'd buy in, and quite frankly were I the folks with BattleOutlawFoam, I'd have wait to run this KS so that it has about 10 days left AFTER Adepticon. I don't know why you wouldn't want to run some stuff there and have some stuff for display.

I could if kickstarter wasn't work blocked...

Will this look right on your WM/H table AgeofEgos?

I hate that when it happens :( Military computer are the same when I was in :(

Just thought that I would share the looks of the new bags to you all. I am really looking forward to getting mine, as I am yet to have any in my collection.

Currently I have 3x KR cardboard cases, 2x GW big and 1x GW small, a desktop and shelves full and about 5 cupboards of stuff that needs making. Lol.
So I think I am going to be needing a few of these, or maybe another gaming room? Hmmmmm decisions.

Love the looks of this model for the Lawmen faction of WWX, kinda says behave yaself lad or i'll blow ya head off. Gotta respect the early concepts of the ASBO.

New concept art for Wyatt Earp the Lawman faction Boss!! Special abilities can be seen here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestexodus/wild-west-exodus-sci-fi-western-miniatures-game/posts

@wildwest: so being i have been following you guys since you launched your facebook page i realized i never asked if this game will translate well to tourney play?

I think that is the idea buddy, as one of the stretch goals is to get a free tournament ticket. as the game rules are still in production with Alessio at the Charlie stage. Beta will be shortly after the Kick starter, so I think it should be in safe hands.

@Killionaire,

I am not sure what you mean by "Sockpuppet" matey. i followed that link and it took me to a person called stormbird. Actually, Outlaw Miniatures has ran around the last few weeks and has bent over backwards to help us all out on the WWX KS. I am really looking forward to getting into contact with the people on their forum. And the staff have done a lot to help out the WWX community tbh. They are even changing a few designs around as was requested by some of the backers.

I am sorry if this is not your view, but I can not support your dislike for someone if they have done no harm to me. Look how many people do not like GW, they still have a lot of fans. I am not really one of them as I am not overly keen on their product any more. However, for those that are fans of GW. I am glad they are getting what they want. There is a product for everyone, and this is one in which I like and wish to support. I can only hope you find some happiness in this and it explains your attendance to this thread.

Do you have a certain faction you have in mind Killionaire? As I can see that you are American, you would have a vastly superior knowledge of the Wild West than I. unfortunately, I never did history as school, something I really regret now at my age. I can however learn a bit from this game, so I am hoping that the wild west is indeed wild. I do not expect to learn the Abe Lincoln carried a big axe though, lol

Stormbird, amongst others, has 2 posts. 1 In the misc games forum, asking about WWexodus. Then one in this thread, plugging it. That's a sockpuppet, because it was created to post 2 posts, then never appear again. It's an obvious extra account someone makes to try to plug the game, on the guise of being a 'new convert'. There's other examples, including probably that 'longtime lurker' earlier who appeared, posted on the 40k forum a two line post about 'my 40k buddies all now play WWE', then posts here, then vanishes forever again. It's a lame marketting strategy, and one that's been done by the proprietor of 'Outlaw Miniatures' several times. Dishonest tactics, deleting posts here, on kickstarter and wherever don't speak well for the owner or future support for the game.

As an aside, Axe-Lincoln is pretty hilarious. He's probably the most characterful model you have.

But really, it's odd that there was previously an attempt to cover up the involvement of a specific individual and company with a shady history... one that I'm sure people would be willing to forgive, if it made it apparent that it had the intent to change it's act.

@Killionaire

I find it funny the accusations that you make. you have only been a member since january and only have 27 post, which a couple of them are on this topic. So does that make you a plant? How about we talk about the game. if you like the minis and subject matter great!. if not explain what you dont like about them. that would be cool to.

ps. if you had read anything about the game you would have known that Romeo said it was his idea so im not sure how outlaw was hding their connection with battlefoam.

Im getting the warrior nation but havent decided on the 2nd army yet. I like the robot for law man but Wyatt is a little underwhelming and im not sure it will hit the 375k anyway. so maybe ill go outlaws.

I'm actually a pretty active member on a number of forums, posted models that I've painted, and other things. That's a bit different than several accounts that've made 2 posts within a few hours of each other, then vanished forever. I came across that bit of connection after a bit of random happenstance when reading some clusterfeth on the Kickstarter's comments.

Just to pick one out at random:

Outlaw Miniatures wrote:No drama needed here. As for bringing up Battle Foam in every comment you make, have at it. I'm sure they appreciate the free advertising.

You know. Just a bit of a tangent, but the connection's been made. And it does bring up baggage. The sock-puppet issue isn't really a very good indication that said concerns are entirely unfounded.

But hey. The models are nicely proportioned, and again, Axe-Lincon is fun. Plus, the best firefly-esque models so far seen.

Well. Said my bit. Really, best of luck. Competition is fierce out there. But take the high road, and don't repeat very specific mistakes in the past. You'll do yourself and the community as a whole a favor that way.

@Killionaire,
OK I think I get what you mean by Sockpuppet now. Thanks for taking your time to explain this to me and not responding in a angry manner.
I have witnessed a lot of alt characters before on forums. I think it is just something we have to tolerate tbh. Not that I like it, it's just I can't do anything about it.
As the saying goes. If you can do something about it, you don't need to worry. And if if can't do anything about it, there is no use to worry.
It does really mean a lot to have a meaningful conversation with someone, despite which side of the fence people are on.

As you can appreciate, from my point of view, I am only just getting back on my feet, as it were, and I can't dislike someone who has not done anything wrong to me.
I really like their product and the support they have offered throughout my time in their project. It is due to this that I wish to support them.
I think the fact that we are about to get update 69 is testament to how hard they are working, both behind the scenes and at front of house.
Romeo and his team has only ever shown that the are trying hard to get this game off of the ground, as I am sure anyone would.
Would be an amazing feeling if I were to manage such a feat, and I would be extremely excited!!

Anyway, I am sure we can debate this till the cows come home, but it would not do any of us any good.
What ever has been done has been done, and what will be will be.

I hope we can find mutual ground in light of this, and move on to more positive pastures and enjoy the time on this forum.

I am glad you enjoy the Abe model, I think it is pretty sweet myself. However, I do prefer the Warrior Nation models and was pleased to see the picture of the Elk on Facebook.
Do you not like the Wyatt Earp model? I prefer the pose behind the shield the best as it appears more dynamic to me and better describes his special ability.
Abe is part of The Union so if you like uniformed troops you can form a nice realistic poses, not suggesting the real Mr Lincoln carried a huge axe about to assert his will!! hehe
Have you seen any of the Mercs models? They are pretty characterful. We are currently waiting for that update 69 which is the 2nd wave of them. So on the edge of my seat atm, hehe.
It will be interesting to see how the pieces are split onto the sprues, as this could lead to a lot of conversion work if desired.
Not that I am expecting to need to with 20 different poses (2x10 differently equipped) for all of the basic troops, and it being a skirmish game would indicate your shouldn't expect duplicates.
Although I am not sure yet if they are planning to extend the pts system above the disclosed $450 to $1250 window.

Guess we will find out one day, but till then, I am really excited about the models and the skirmish aspect.

Been nice rambling on at you, hehe

Mick

The art for the second wave of Mercs has been released and may I say I think their very nice indeed.

Wild West Exodus Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestexodus/wild-west-exodus-sci-fi-western-miniatures-game

Wild West Exodus Forum: http://www.wildwestexodusforum.com/index.php

Wave 2 of the Mercs has now been unlocked and free to all those people who have pledged Corrupt and above!! Guess I can do a little Chubby shuffle then!!

I personally love the K-Free best, but all of them sing character in my eyes

These are not the final poses and will be 3D sculpted later.


Pah!! Beat me to putting the picture up again!!

Great job Frank

This explains the new influx of new accounts.
They're not sockpuppets, it seems.

Remember guys...keep bumping and refreshing the Wild West Exodus anywhere that you possibly can.

http://www.wildwestexodusforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=325

Oh good, so they're cultists?

Really like the look of these, just wish they had set the Lawmen up as one of the initial factions... Anyway, will probably pledge small and wait for the lawmen later. I can foresee skirmishes between the Outlaws and Lawmen in my household in the future! I think it would have made more sense to have an initial release of the lawmen instead of the enlightened. Union vs. Warrior nation; Outlaws vs. Lawmen; Enlightened vs. Holy Order; etc... It just sounds more apropos to me, but then I don't really know all the details behind their alternate reality.
Also, I don't really care about all the hate for Romeo... Haters really ought to start/join a separate thread to rant and rave about their issues with him and his company. If he's involved with this one, so what? What's a sockpuppet by the way? If I, being a lowly soldier, had no presence on a forum and started raving about a new product I really liked, would I be named a "sockpuppet"?
As someone else stated before; GW has had shady dealings, and I am quite sure other companies have had under the table issues that may or may not influence some buyers. I don't really care what they do! If I like their product I will buy it! Simple as that! Not too many people in the states boycott Wal-Mart and they have had some pretty unsavory business practices! Hell, I could ramble on and on about that kind of stuff but after 37 years of living and breathing the hater's hot air it has gotten quite old.
If you don't like someone's business practices then don't buy their product! Otherwise, suck it up and drive on!

Looks like they're being told to do this by our very own Madmick...

Yeah, he's making me not want to pledge more than he is the opposite. However, It looks like a buddy and I are going to split one of the pledge levels.

Good thing madmick is across the pond and I won't likely ever hav to meet him and his overuse of the word buddy.

Now I just have to figure out if we're gonna split the $115 level or the $220 level.

For those who are interested we just posted an interview with Romeo on WWX. My co-host Dan and I ask a number of questions about the game and about the plans for rolling this out.

It's about an hour long, with some great information. I know I am backing it and was more excited after the interview.

http://gamerslounge.coda.net/2013/03/08/gamers-lounge-special-wild-west-exodus/

@Nix,

Thanks for this podcast. Have just finished listening to it and I think it was really nice to hear more detailed explanation of what is intended for the game.
However, I am not going to give any spoilers away!!

Love his idea to help the FLGS, and I hope that it has a positive impact on FLGS and their ability to stay afloat in this difficult economic period.

Thank you again for taking the time out to produce this podcast, it was very professionally done.

Mick

P.s. I have since subscribed to your website and look forward to hearing more from all the different gaming systems and book podcasts.

Could you please research your information again? As I do not believe that was my comment. I do however, fully support it in order to reach those people that may be interested in this game.

All the WWX comments are contained within the WWX thread. Should you not wish to hear about it, may I please suggest that you you cease partaking in its contents?
Also, as there appears to be no way that I can please you (despite my attempts through positive dialogue), I can only apologise, and ask that if you do wish to enter this thread, you disregard my comments.

@cincydooley,
As it appears that you feel like you want to "punch me in the face" for saying the word "Buddy" to often, may I request that you pardon my mannerisms. As the term suggests, this was intended as a friendly gesture.
I shall try and refrain from using the term towards you in future, but please pardon me if I do so in error.
If you are still not comfortable with this, I can only apologise and suggest that the error does not generate from me.
But I am sure you are not like that Sean and we will bond better in the future, under these understandings or alternative ones that you wish to offer.

Thanks

Mick

So it seems this thread is more centered lately around accusations then discussing the product. I get people's angst towards Romeo and in a business sense i don't like the guy but as a person he's nice just passionate about what he does. Now i don't like gw corporate but i like their product and if you don't like BF that has nothing to do with this great product. Mad may be a plant but who cares still a great looking product. So i say we focus back on the product and leave the rest alone.

Thak you for your kind words towards the new models Empchild.

I can safely say that I am not a plant though. hehe. I am just someone posting about the minis that I like and keeping the news going for those that are interested tbh. Just like everyone else on the forum.

Just to make you aware, we have not smashed through another stretch goal and the Wave 2 Union Hired Hands have now been unlocked.

Next stretch goal is to release the civilian models at $225,000.

They will have an impact on the gaming experience in some way. No rule details, that I am aware of, are out for them yet.

Please correct me if I am wrong about the civi rules

Thanks

mick

I can't blame the tone and treatment of this product when the thread is being dominated by someone acting in a proxy marketing capacity. It makes it difficult for any real grass-roots enthusiasm to build up around the product when an actual conversation cannot take place without a used car-salesman type tactic being used between every sentence.

Again, the conversation should be centered around this product, and should be open on to all. Madmick, this is an open forum, I would advise you to tone down your responses and allow others to have a chance to participate free from your constant posting. You are not breaking any rules though, so you can do as you like, I am simply suggesting your enthusiasm and tactics may in fact be contributing to the negative tone in this thread and in fact accomplishing the opposite of what you are seeking. Participation was high and relatively positive, since the WWX comments and your 'taking over' as proxy, participation has dropped off, negative comments have increased and this thread has begun bobbing around nearly solely on your efforts. Little positive impact that I can perceive has been gained by the mentioned tactics...

If the main problem surrounding this product is not in fact the models, nor the rules, but the perceived business practices of the participants, it would seem the ideal response would be to minimize perceptions of forced marketing practices would it not? Take it down a notch, trust the community to embrace a good product organically via high level marketing and product quality, don't try to micromanage every last conversation surrounding it or you will turn off more than you attract. That is my honest advice as someone who would like to see the project succeed.

Moving on...

From the sound of it, the rules are pretty solid, and better yet, Tom Schaedle (formerly Commander Y of Bolter and Chainsword fame) being involved with the painting certainly ups the ante for me! Thought the subject of the game doesn't hugely appeal as I am more a sci-fi type guy, the art-style and direction are so far quite impressive. I am curious to see if the all-in investment into the rarely seen western theme will pay off...

@MajorTom11,
I was pretty much jumped on from my first post tbh and i have only responded in a way to defend myself. You inform me that I should tone it down, but I have yet to do anything wrong, or be in ANY way disrespectful. In fact, quite the opposite. I have been verbally abused and put down from the start with one of the last remarks being: (top comment on this page) Cincidooley wrote: "I wont lie. The amount that you use buddy and matey makes me want to punch face. It's maddening." Things like this should not be allowed iaw with Rule 1 of the Dakka's Code of Conduct. Despite being spoken to like this, I remained polite and offered a means to rectify the situation. If this was not expectable by Sean, then I politely requested an alternative course of action. If this is seen to be wrong, can you please advise me what I should do to rectify the situation under these circumstances?

The last few comments were on track and I had thought this may now finally be over. As you are a moderator, I am hoping this is the last word on the matter and we can move on. Should the removed screen be deleted prior to your viewing, I can provide a printed screen of the offending items. However, I am sure I will not be required to send it to you, as this will end as you suggest.

On topic:
I really like the idea of the Influence token gamble, as it allows a bit of excitement at key moments or even a negative side if you lose the tokens with a need to use them. As I understand it, you may also cease initiative with these tokens, so do you gamble them for dice rolls? or spend them to get the upper hand? I think this type of mechanic seems very fitting for the game and lends, in part, to the atmosphere. The fact that Romeo is going to make this a scaleable game allows each person to colour the environment how they want it. Do they take on the fluffy campaigns within each issue of the comic? or the main rulebook? or perhaps a North Vs South meat grinder to add to the excitement. I am currently hoping to play the skirmish game and collect all the faction tbh. As this will allow me to build a great gaming board in my studio. I am getting a few itchy fingers already having seen what some of the guys are building on the WWX forum. Tomorrow I think, shall be national balsa wood day........... That sounded a lot better in my head...........

As you state that you are a Sci-Fi guy, have you seen the Light Support Vehicles? I personally love them, although I am likely to have more Warrior Nation horses than the bikes, as I really like the whole concept of them and the design of the miniatures are to die for in my eyes. The hired Hands being the best models in that faction range. A lot of people are awaiting the arrival of the Lawmen, so that promises to be a popular faction. We have new pictures above this post of Wyatt Earp, if you have not already seen him. Pretty much prefer the shielded poses the best as it compliments his shielding ability.

We have just unlocked the 2nd wave of The Union Hired Hands, which is nice. As this now allows pledges to attain 20 different sculpts for this faction although the 2nd wave are differently equipped with more armour.

Next up is the civilians, I believe this will be 3 models in total, although anything can change, and these will have a game mechanic associated to them. What this is, I am unsure but, I think it may be something to do with entering buildings such as shops, saloons etc. Which would add a new dimension, don't you think?

Anyway, here I go rambling on. Have you heard any news / rumours? Have you listened to the podcast that was posted on here? I thought it to be really good and informative. It lasts for about an hour I think, or there a bouts, so it contains quite a bit of info. You should check it out.

Cheers

And you missed the point....

Either way the poses and concepts seem cool. The models seem nice and plastic is cool but since I'm unlikely to find a use for these as the game isn't to likely to pull down interest in my area I'll just keep an eye out on it.

Seriously. Mick, stop writing such long posts here man, none of the rest of us have a chance to participate!

Hulk, I'm right there with you- cool models, not sure I have a use for them, but definitely watching it.

Could you please research your information again? As I do not believe that was my comment. I do however, fully support it in order to reach those people that may be interested in this game.

My point was, the person in the link above has the same icon as you, the same location as you, and links to a painting studio on facebook with the same location as you, and a quick google search brings up a wordpress site for Ironclad Miniature Painting Studio with a post called, "poorly sick mick" and an icon that matches yours. It's fine that you're asking people to spread the word about the game, because if it's something you like, it's entirely worth it to advertise it. Some of the "guff" that you're getting is because you're overly friendly which makes it sound like you're trying to force us to back the product (like a car salesman that is pushing a car you don't want) because you have some invested interest. You use the words "We" when referring to the project instead of Outlaw Miniatures or WWX, which shows a level of familiarity with the company and the project rather than just being a fan/backer. I'm a huge fan of Wyrd Miniatures and ran the Through the Breach Kickstarter thread here on Dakka, but for the most part 90% of the posts in that thread I referred to Wyrd as Wyrd instead of we or us because I didn't have any more information about the kickstarter or the game as anyone else.

All the WWX comments are contained within the WWX thread. Should you not wish to hear about it, may I please suggest that you you cease partaking in its contents?
Also, as there appears to be no way that I can please you (despite my attempts through positive dialogue), I can only apologise, and ask that if you do wish to enter this thread, you disregard my comments.

With the exception of someone else promoting the game elsewhere on this site you are correct about the WWX comments being in this thread, and I'm still watching this project to see if something piques my interest down the road. Your friendly comments told me to "check back after work", etc while the tone was friendly, the lack of information I was getting didn't really entice me to want to persue this any farther, most of my questions were answered with, "You should check the KS page." well yeah, if I had the ability to do so I would have, but couldn't have done so because of limitations with access..

@cincydooley,
As it appears that you feel like you want to "punch me in the face" for saying the word "Buddy" to often, may I request that you pardon my mannerisms. As the term suggests, this was intended as a friendly gesture.

The reason he wants to "punch you in the face" is because you say buddy and mate far too much, instead of being courteous on the internet, you're trying too hard to be "friends" with the people in this thread. It's a "too much of a good thing". It's great to be friendly on the internet and doesn't happen too often, but you're slathering on an extra layer of friendliness that is grating on some people.

And to what RiTides said, let other people comment. Don't try to defend perceived ill or wrong with the project, it'll just serve to make you angry (trust me, running the Through the Breach thread made me quite angry at people on this site for awhile), and it makes you seem more like a corporate puppet with every comment because you don't see anything wrong with the project, and come across to everyone that says something bad about the project as a white knight of sorts, many people often critique projects that they like so they can see them get better, not blindly defend them saying they're great as it is. *Shrugs* that's just me. I'm going to keep commenting on this thread because something might interest me, who knows.


Edit: In an effort to not sound like a complete callous donkey cave, I do like that Warrior Nation Elk, is that on a 120mm base? If so, I could definitely see it being picked up and used in a Circle Army as the WoldWrath or their BE (probably the first one), especially in an Epic Morgana list with her ibex

You are indeed missing the point Mick. You are certainly not being disrespectful, breaking the rules or any of that, and I made a point to say that. I was and am simply pointing out that although you are being polite and friendly, you may be overdoing it a bit and in fact turning people off from participating in this thread as very little conversation is taking place between other users, just a Q and A with you. This is probably not what people want or expect here, hence the hostility you are receiving (and handling admirably btw, again I am not faulting your politeness or adherence to the rules).

I will say it shorter to be clear: Your enthusiasm is admirable but your tone and relentless posting are offputting to many users wanting to discuss this KS and the game as it is being interpreted and tele-marketing style messaging. People want to discuss the KS in it's entirety, stuff they love, stuff they like, stuff they worry about and stuff they don't like. Right now I believe many are feeling they aren't able to express themselves organically.

To use a metaphor, some people like to walk through the store and just look. Right now this thread is a bit more of the in-your-face sales guy who wants to convince you to buy before your back-foot even clears the door. In stores with policies like that, sometimes people stop going in because although they like the product, they don't like not being able to discuss it quietly amongst themselves.

Does that make the sales guy a bad person? No. Are you doing anything wrong here? No, or I wouldn't be writing this, I would simply put a stop to it. My friend I am simply offering an honest, non-hostile suggestion that perhaps the amount and style of posting you are using in here are in fact becoming a detrimental factor to interest in WWX here at Dakka.

As I said before, and I say again now, I am a huge fan of Commander Y and many others involved in this product, big time. I would love to see them succeed. For the record, I met Romeo last year, found him to be absolutely awesome to speak with and a guy I would be happy to count as a friend. I can't speak as to his business dealings, but as a person, he took the time to talk to me for about an hour, he was funny, enthusiastic and generous, and that for me was a great experience. I think Battlefoam is great product, more importantly the customer service was fantastic every time I have purchased from them online, in person or on the phone. 40k radio is my favorite podcast for it's humour and personalities. I am not a hater by any stretch, in fact, I may be on the other end of the spectrum more than anything else.

So, please re-read my initial post, and as I mentioned off the bat, you are free to continue as you please, I am just trying to help believe it or not.

Well this thread has turned interesting, I will say I downgraded my pledge not because of issues with the company etc but because no real interest in anything other then the Union and the Outlaws.


P.S I will say this is some of the friendliest argueing I have ever seen though I think it's starting to wear thin a bit.

The mods have come in here once already and cleaned the place up, and with MT11 in on the conversations, I think the last thing that ANYONE wants is to get a suspension because they crossed the line on friendly discourse.

@Alfndrate,
Hi mate, Just wanted to point out that the link does land on a topic that I had started, it does however point to the post that that remark was taken. So I would ask you to check the 4th post down on that page if you would be so kind.

I refer to people as "MATE" (which is self explanatory) / marra (marra - friend: "Mick wez an aad marra o' mine") / Buddy (also self explanatory) / mucka (Military term for mate) / pal (self explanatory) / ar'kid (brother, but can be used as friend). However, due to geographical differences, I chose to use terms that more people would be able to understand.

I use the term "WE" because it really feels like a team on there, if you do not believe me, donate $1 and come for a chat? or maybe join the forum and get to know how friendly everyone is. I can hardly be held responsible because people have grown paranoid within DakkaDakka can I? I have tried, as you pointed out, very hard to not to be the statistic norm which is often perceived here. All I have been is my normal self and respected peoples views. From what I understand of this whole situation, you dislike Romeo for being rude to people on one of his podcasts, which I have not listened to yet. How does his performance differ from the experience that I have received from a select few on this thread? I came on here to enjoy myself (insert reasons why here, but trying to keep it short).

I was asking you to check KS because I had a banging headache and have had since middle of December, so I wanted you to take ownership of the situation so I didn't have to stare at the screen for much longer, but again my efforts back fired at me.

I generally have not found anything bad about WWX if I am honest, as the olny thing I thought was meh, he is doing the 3D images again for the Enlightened HH. So my reasoning leads me to a forum that kicks me for saying hello or a man who is trying his damnedest to make things right. Which would you honestly choose?

I can honestly say that I am not the least bit angry with all of this. After serving a couple of tours in the middle east, where people can throw rather naughty things at you, I am not really likely to get upset over some naughty shaped pixels now am I? hehe

Now I will try again to get back on topic.

I don't believe we have been given the size of the actual bases at this stage as I am not sure of how they refer to it by name:

Small 1.25'
medium 1.75'
Large 2.5'
Extra Large ?'
Massive 4.5'

You may be interested in Sitting Bull and Geronimo then, as they are like a werewolf and a bear. May make you army look unique. I hear that they have about 150 different characters for the game so far spread across all factions, oh and while I remember, have you seen the grey spirit? sort of like an eagle man. Anyway I am sure you may not stop there when some more characters come out, hehe. Personally, I would like to see some animal bodyguard of sorts, perhaps werewolves or bears again?

Does this constitute as a short post? If not I have failed again! hehe
