Links Return!
  After much swearing, cursing, frustration, threatening, pleading, cajoling, etc. etc. etc., the Links page has returned! Huzzah!

  And, while it's not much to brag about, I did the majority of the php coding myself, and only borrowed a little from the board. Why recode what's already been coded? ^_^

  For those of you who remember the Links page from the last time it was working, you'll notice that the "Works?" column is gone. I'm not sure if I plan to keep it gone for good, or to bring it back... Feel free to chime in with your opinions on the matter.

FFT Tournament - Battle 14
  Gafgarion beat the ever-loving hell outta poor Rudvich.

  Now it's time for Dycedarg to slaughter Cloud! Er...

  I'm getting really bad about updating this on Fridays... I think that I'll do it differently in Round 2. Like, maybe have the poll last one or two days. Otherwise, this thing'll drag on forever!

Login Fixed!
  Due to a small configuration error on my part, made the last time I was doing board maintanence, cookies weren't being set right, and logging in had no effect. It would say you were logged in, but you weren't.

  Thanks to stymee for e-mailing me, and being an unwitting test subject... and apologies, also.

Games People Play
  I figured I might as well take a moment and plug the various games I play.

  Nation States - Pretty fun online Nation sim type game thing... You create your own nation, and see how well you can run it. You can customize your nations flag, currency, and animal, vote on issues affecting your country, and even join a UN. Visit my country, Menzobarranzen, located in the wonderful Graveyards of Carpathia!

  Kings of Chaos - Sort-of an online RPG. You're an officer in an army, and you get to build up your own personal army. You can buy weapons, armor, mercanaries, and upgrade your fortifications. You can even attack other players, and take their money! Please note that the link I have supplied will take you to a page basically asking if you were forced to come to the site unknowingly, and allows you to not click the button to help me out. If you do click the button, it will give me one more soldier for my army, and present you with the option to become an officer of mine. If you sign up to play Kings of Chaos, I would appreciate it if you joined under me, but you don't have to.

  Progress Quest - A silly, fun online "RPG". You install it, choose multiplayer mode, make your character, and it does everything else for you. All you have to do is minimize it (it will sit in your system tray), and surf the web as normal. Feel free to view the stats for my character, Kheldarn the Double Wookiee Mu-Fu Monk.

  There is one more game I play online, but it's of an adult nature, so I won't post it here. Sorry.

FFT Tournament - Battle 16
  Kletian beats Balk 9-2!

  Now it's time for Battle 16, the last battle of Round 1! And it's an Assassin Battle! Which one of Elmdor's mysterious Assassins will win? Celia or Lede? Only time will tell...
