My first EVER fanpost! Yay! :D

The purpose is selfexplanatory... ;)

Go Bulls! :D

Ah... Apparently these things need to be 75 words long... And my first 13 words didn't quite cut it... ;) So I guess I need to ramble meaninglessly for a little bit just to be able to post it...

I imagine it's usually a good rule in general seeing you probably should have something to say when creating a fanpost. But since this is a mere game-thread I don't really see how this is necessary. But I learnt a long time ago never to argue with computers... Like women... Just say "yes" and do what they say...

I'm going to check to see if that is enough of a ramble...
