I feel very much like a scared newbie, which I am, but maybe I'll dare to post.
I remember Aceron's board and posted there and recognise some names from that time, I just left it even before the board itself did (which I found out later). For some reason I gave up BOE for years. Then I came back and there was suddenly a community and lots of people and I was lost and so far the only posts I've had courage to make have been questions about scenarios I'm stuck in. Mostly I'm a happy lurker.
And back then I created one scenario. I played it again some time ago and it was truly awful, especially the language. It's funny to read the few reviews it's had, they weren't very positive but more than it deserves. Most likely it will be the last scenario I create. I found the scenario file on my computer and it was created in December 1997 (does that sound right?) so I guess that I was around then.
