This is my first time running USO infact its my first tournament, I wanted to adapt it and make it mine. its 39 days till the game runs and yes I changed my mind on releasing the TWA file.

Take me or leave me nothing else I have to say on this. > Silver Dragon > > >From a message by LadyRogue about Re: hey: > > I think he's basing the statement on "your word" on the fact you said you > would release a file that you have since chosen not to. *shrug* doesn't > matter to me.
