Greetings from Poke-man, :poke2: Grand Emperor Japodeis :king: (not Capo :poke: nor Paco :paco:).

It is with regret that I learned of your flu. So I quit my self-imposed exile for now.

As I also had this experience in 2010, I know how unpleasant it is. :sick: Without going to the doctor, it took me several days to fully recover (3 days of delirium :wacko: and several days of muscle aches and chills). So, I started taking the vaccine annually so that this does not happen again.

I sincerely hope that Imperial Sardaukar :laser: and Imperial Fremen :dirtyharry: can act as Anti-Virus against the viruses from Evil Santa’s Hellper :santa: and self-righteous Privatien Bible. https://media.giphy.com/media/29Sdfydfmkmv6/giphy.gif So, I wish you health improvements! And that you are no longer in Spain! May the Force be with you! :lightsaber:

Now, regarding the Updaters and Admins, the situation gets a bit more complicated:

Huh, I just stmubled on this... so there should be newspost about ne AT issue? WOW!!!

You know what Japo, get better and you do newspost - honor should be yours :)

Yup, and works starting on a new Issue already :P

Wow you guys still keep doing it? That's wonderful! I just popped in to check how's AB is doing and its marvellous... I worked (more-or-less) on AT back in the day (I can't remember which one) and I thought a new one will never happen. I think I promised then-editor TA that I'll write an article on Infocom games.

(Just came here to brag that even though I never sent the article to TA, I did submit it for an academic writing course and got an A+. Yet another reason my old teachers should be thankful for the time I spent on AB. :D)

Would you be interested in sending it in for Issue 5? :)

I've received questions about pieces of eight rewards... There seems to be already something in place detailed here (we can link or copy this information e.g. into the sticky submissions thread):

I'll then go ahead with granting POEs for issue 4. But I need to know exactly who else besides Lianne contributed (or proof-read or whatever) anything and what? Lianne did you actuallyy do quite everything this time?

The only person who assisted me was a friend of mine, who did my proof-reading, but she isn't on Abandonia (She doesn't even like old video games!! :( ) But I'm not too bothered about earning them myself, but more as an incentive for other people to write for AT :)

I think, you need to be more clear with your words next time, Lyanne. Thank you.

Sure, no problem - I'll just need to dig it up from my old hard drive, it was 5 years and three computers ago. Let me know what's your timeline for the next issue and I will act accordingly.

I've only just moved out of the basic planning stage, and have started on the first article, so there's plenty enough time :) But the sooner the better, of course :P
