4/18/2024 Gauging WAR vs. Rnk in the new Nuroc
As the knucklehead who started this 'make-a-mountain-out-of-a-molehill' thread, I concur with the above post as well as Guy's repeated assertion that he's amenable to another change if the the way things play out merits it.

I think that just as it's somewhat true that 'You are what you eat', it might also be fair to say 'You are how you play PC'.

Complainers, like me, are going to find reason to complain no matter what because that's who they are. With a little self-awareness, however, there's always the hope for evolving into a Complainer in Recovery rather than a Complainer In Denial.
