Hate Mail | Mail about the Musashi Chronicles | Mail about Mr. T
If you sent me mail about the site and it's not printed here, there are a few possible explanations:
1) I lost it.
2) I haven't gotten to it yet
3) If the mail was real real short, and there's not a lot to rag on about it, I probably still have it filed somewhere in my monstrous inbox.
4) It's one of about a billion emails I got from you. Hey! Calm down a little!
NOTE: Really entertaining hate mail tends to wind up in its own section, i.e. the C. Dalton Zone. 8P
On Friday, November 6th, 1998, I woke up and groggily turned on my computer so I could send myself a text file to edit at work, when I received my very first hate letter. Although it is short and misspelled and makes no sense at all, it gave me a nice warm feeling inside to know that I was reaching out and changing someone's life in some way. Shed a tear with me.

how dare you speak of musashi in this manner. he was an eceptional warrior and a brilliant strategest. you can go crawl under a rock and die you fucking bitch.
I sleepily responded:
Ah yes, he was the greatest swordsman ever, and he also refused to take a bath for years because he was afraid to have someone attack him in the bath, and suffered horrible eczema and body odor as a result. He killed men with shaved-down boat oars and knew the value of running from impossible odds. He was also known for his poetry and painting, which I doubt you have perused, considering you only seem to know the common man's line on him, probably taken from some sort of Cliff's Notes version of the Book of Five Rings, and some entries in some martial arts magazines right next to the ads for Panther Productions Instant Master Home Videos.
I can only assume you haven't actually read anything on the page, since you haven't been able to complain about anything specific, and there is NOTHING derogatory about the historical Musashi on there. While I can understand how this sort of flaming might make you feel better in some sort of sad, lonely, internet-substitutes-for-life way, your anger is really misdirected and only belies the fact that you haven't actually READ anything on there. Tip: Reading Is Fundamental. Asshole.
Musashi, Victim of the Anger of Little Little Men
Whoever thought I would get hate mail about a gear design? I never did, until Joseph Rosales proved me wrong on Feb 7, 1999...
Turd (or you know maybe It wasn't your fault). Your gear "The Speeder" was found by my virus detector to contain a virus I advise you to delete this file form your web page or you might be getting some equally or more harsh letters from unsuspecting victims. Who knows maybe it was just a hacker thinking he would take some rage out on the world through your site. I don't know. But, you are the likely suspect in this. Thank you for reeading this.
A Disgruntled Heavy Gear Fan
I didn't find any viruses, and asked him to let me know the specifics, which he never did. For informational purposes, gear design files (GDF's) are compressed data, not executable files, and it would be mind-boggling if someone managed to design a virus inside an accessory file for an obsolete game that activated once the game read the design. My best guess is he had a cheesy antivirus. Okay, it wasn't really hate mail, but I have to make the most of what I get.
Letters about a Game that Sucks
I've received a lot of comments about the Musashi Chronicles, in email and on message boards. I'll post them here as I dig them out of my mail bin. 8P I doubt I'll ever get the comments from the COB forums.
12/29/98 - Zanto of Britain's EoV posted to the Lost souls message board...
Dude i dont know where the hell u get so crazy from but those stories had me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. They were great, I especially liked Musashi's trip to the 2nd age and Musashi the pk.
1/5/99 - apparently a lot of people have been somehow hearing about my page. I got this letter from a guy on Drachs who seemed to think that my stories were implying that I was getting tired of UO. Really? 8P
Hey there,
just want you to know, I read your stories often, and think they're great. I noticed that as late you've been getting rather, uhm.. 'perturbed' with UO. Well, a similar thing happened to me. uch liek you, I was a combat inept bowyer for quite a while.. and I shunned magery. Refused to wear bone, all the normal things. It's rather sad you resigned from LoA.. they seemed to be a nice enough group of people, but I guess seeing as tailors are generally rather *ahem* 'abused' by their big bad guildmates, I can understand.
I ask though, before you cancel your account, you try coming over to the Drachenfels shard. A group of friends and I play there.. and we need a good tailor and storyteller. UO became more fun for me when I started doing what I bought the game for.. to be the impossible. A ROGUE! I swear, I generate energy bolts. Heh. In any case, before you give up hope, try something new and different, might just be worth it. Yes, UO does get boring when all peopel do is try and make you the best PvP combatter ever..
But who says tailors and rogues can't have fun, eh? =-)
Hand, of Drachenfels / Johan of Chesapeake
I replied that I was quitting UO after being bug looted YET AGAIN, but since then I've actually found some small amusement playing a total newbie on Catskills, home of the Tank Mages. Speaking of which, I emailed Magnus of the newsgroup top 10 lists to let him know I though his site was great, and he replied:
I'm sorry I haven't gotten a chance to comment on your site. I finally got a chance to look at it this morning and I think it's great! I'll be linking to it some time very soon. Thanks for sending me the URL.
-Magnus
... and later...
Hi there,
I was just writing to let you know that I'm updating my site and including a link to your site. I've gotten myself addicted to your site. =-)
-Magnus of the Magnus Files
All I can say is "I can't believe I got to read email from Mangus!"
1/10/99 - More stuff from the LS forum...
I'd just like to say that Musashi's stories (the short stories and the ones with pictures also)are very entertaining and extremely well-written. I've read them all so far and I hope to see some more in the future. Even thougth i have never played UO, i think it would be fun to try but my computer isnt to great and it wouldnt run well. Oh well keep up the good work musashi, and keep those stories coming!
It was signed by... "Big DaDDy DiCk!" 8P
On Jan 26, 1999, J. of the Joy of Villainy message board and the UOMac Advocate posted the link to my site on the JoV site, which I lurk in a lot. He later emailed me about the Mu Chronicles...
I'm putting in a link to the Musashi Chronc's
tonight. I've spent the
past hour and a half reading all the stories.
Exquisite.
Dundee is the H.L. Mencken of UO.
Magnus is the David Letterman.
Musashi is the Kafka.
J.
Hmm... "Musashi awoke one morning to find that he had turned himself into a giant bug, so he used himself to break into people's houses, get hacked stats and PK 1@m34z."
Brules of JoV jumped in on the thread...
I loved your page! Tell me......just how fast (In plain english) is your computer??? Can you go light speed with that thing? LoL.....Also..what shard do you play on????
I played mainly on Atlantic... I still have my main chars there, living in a looted house. Recently I've been screwing around on Cats, having fun with a newbie bowyer guy, and was thinking of starting a pathetic villain on Baja, just for the off-chance of meeting one of the big names (and getting killed by them). In general, the only forums/sites worth reading these days are the evil ones, so I've developed a lot of respect for guys like NH while lurking in his forums like a craven idiot. :P
Hey! Come on over.....as I have posted REPEATEDLY...i have a spare single room shack that I let people into so that they can safely macro the BS on combat skills. All you will need is 300 to 400 Blade Spirit regs and a couple a sets a plate armor (bone will do...but you will need several sets) and a few newbie weapons. You can make GM in several skills in no time.
I welcome all new Evil doers to the Baja shard with open arms. In fact...the famous Lenny is now my neighbor due to my GM skills in Realestate! I have even been blessed with him DYING in my own home!!! LoL!
So lemme know if I can help ya out.
Brules
"Official Evil Doer Welcome Wagon for the
Baja Shard"
Hmm... interesting. Brules' offer is appealing, but I gotta think about it... UO is an annoying game, especially making money in it, and it takes a LOT of freakin' money to cast Blade Spirits 400 times. 8P
Feb 8, 1999, Lee Stanford:
Great site!
Just read your account of your UO experiences on Catskills, and I must say I too have been pleasantly surprised by this shard.
If you ever find yourself back in Yew, look me up. I'm Ian E. Hassis, Apprentice Swordsman (though I started as a Ranger).
Yew is a weird place, for those who don't play UO. It has almost no good stores, not much of interest, and it's easy to get lost there and wind up as PK bait. For some reason, though, everyone wants to move there, and so it's a real lag trap most of the time. Thank god there's not much reason to go there in the first place.
Rose of Jade, the controversial figure at the crux of the Maraxus/LS/LOA scandal, sent me this on March 27, 1999.
You were one of the few folks I never really talked with and truely wished I had. *smiles* Just wanted to say you've picked up yet another 'groupie' to your site. Thanks for the stories, comments, rants and such.
Resistance is Futile ..you have been added to the 'bookmark' collection of Jade. Which consists of like 3 URLS. =P
Later Gator,
Jadie
A little while later, I met Jade in person, Well, not really met, since she seemed to stay far away from me, along with most of the other LOA there, as I got ritually hammered with Solflexion and Lochedannan. At one point, I was reputedly involved in a hotel room TV porno incident which caused her to flee the room. I wish I could remembere that more clearly.
jet99, Mar 30, 1999:
i loved the stories about mu. keep them coming!
I wonder how many people no longer visit the site because I never play UO anymore. I have to say this: if offered the choice between getting no hits and having to play UO... well, the choice should be obvious.
Dan Parker sent along this analysis on Apr 18, 1999:
Like most of your content on this page, you are 100% right. The problem with RPGs is the player's fault. What you say about EverQuest being an "online fix" may (or may not, but probably may) be wrong. I do not think that EQ will be all that much different from UO once the hype and excitement is gone. I have already heard people take to calling it "LevelQuest" which isn't as positive a nickname for a game as one would hope.
I have a suggestion for you on which Online game (if any) you would enjoy playing. Baldur's Gate is configurable, pretty accurately models the AD&D ruleset, and looks better than the cartoonishness of UO or the blocky, muddy mipmapped goodness of EQ. Even if it isn't "massively multiplayer" it is still a good multiplayer game. Most "massively multiplayer" games have you in a tight-knit group of friends killing everyone or thing you don't know anyway, BG just has more creative non-energy bolt fling enemies. You can also choose how you will play the game, although it isn't as customizable as it should be for an AD&D game. Just be sure not to join any games on GameSpy, as those just entail you following around whoever created the game, trying to blend into his posse of the Level 7 characters of which he is controlling. If you have friends and you can stand not lagging and being chastised by the 31337 CR3W of most Online games you should give BG a shot. I hope that last line didn't come off as an add.
Good look on find a non-lame portion of the Internet,
Snd
Unfortunately, I did try Baldur's Gate, and was way disappointed in it. Did I mention I hate all recent games? At the time of this posting (way late), I am enjoying roleplaying a Predator with a throwing disc.
May 12, 1999, Dan Groose:
Hey there guy. You play on Catskills sometimes, right? Or at least you used to? I'd love to meet up with you once to get a screen shot. That way I don't have to say my entire UO existance was a waste because I never met anyone famous. Seems like all the famous (famous = those with popular/well done web pages) UO players play on Baja. So like I said, I just want a snap shot of meeting you or something. tHaT w0uLd B k3wL d0oD!
- Phoenix
Yeah, I already did post this letter in UO Rants, but what the hell. If Phoenix is still playing, he may see this, thereby satisfying that "not a waste of time" imperative. Uh... on the other hand...
William Grussmeyer, May 17, 1999:
there's an error in your website
"Nothing. Soon I will have to resort to PKing a lot on Hokuto and posting chronicles which are nothing but kill shots, like Ronald McDonald's "Race to 1000 Murders". No doubt this won't work either; evil sites get way more hits than me as it is. "
that's wrong, ronald mcdonald didnt do that, no he just has crazy movies and rants about GMs not giving him facial hair (i think he was a little too obsessed about it) It was eternam who has the 1000 murder website which he already reached and is now quitting UO
http://www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/Mall/2699/page1.html
Ron did start the 1000 murder race, but he wised up and asked to be banned so he could go play Everquest at about murder 300. This 1000 murders thing seems to be pretty popular. And people wonder what's wrong with UO. 8P
Grant Austin, May 27, 1999:
Just wondering if you play catskills as a Murderer with a dp'ed katana. If ya do I think I met ya today/tonight whichever it is. My name on cats is Paleomacus.
Well...I like your site alot musashi chronicles are awesome!
L8R,
Pal
Actually, I wish I was a murderer on Catskills with a dp'ed katana. Katanas are easily the best, most versatile weapon in the game, as long as you have a good assassin and a hefty supply of deadly poison lying around. As it is, I mostly play a character from some other game. 8P
Aleph, June 13, 1999, really commenting on the Rp story guide...
Alright, I wouldn't go so far as to say I was an accomplished RP'r, but I do play with a few Ayes and Nays hither and yon...
But your site about killed me, I laughed so hard, I just about wetteth myself. The capper?
"My mail page is kinda slow for hate mail content. Bring it on. Thou."
Bahaha...hilarious. Good work, people need to take themselves far less seriously.
Fair thee well and all that.

If I can make just one person as jaded about roleplaying as I am, I can die a happy man. 8P
On June 16, 1999, I received mail from an OSI representative...
Hey,
I browsed over to your page, after getting my morning Lum's Rant Fix, and I gotta say... its damn funny!
Thanks for the laugh while I'm supposed to be working! ;)
I am keeping Jeremy Harvey's identity a close secret, in case I can someday use the information that he like my page for blackmail purposes. Oops...
Letters About Jibba Jabba Foo!
I received maybe 4 letters about the Mr. T vs. Heavy Gear, which is 4 more than I expected.
I emailed Chris Kowalski, one of the maintainers of the original Mr. T vs (fill in the blank) sites to let him know I had done a really obscure story of my own. He replied...
You're right, I have No idea what that was about (it looked kinda like mech warrior), but I did notice a screen shot from Ultima online, the gayest game of all time. The guy across the hall from me bought that thing and flunked his whole semester he played it so much. Ten bucks a month to play a game, and there wasn't even a swing button!
I also sent Troy "trenchcoat" Wood a thank you email for the use of his Mr. T images, and he had a look as well. Is it possible that the only people who read Mr. T versus Heavy Gear were people I emailed personally about it? 8P
Damn, them web pages is good!!! Pretty funny! Especially the Ultima Online reference... (I wish I'd thought of that when I was doing my 'Mr. T vs. Hackers' page) Thanks for the link, and be sure to tell Yahoo and Mr. T vs. Everything about your site...
Yet another section no one ever read is the drinking section. However, that idiot Anthony Faber was quick to point out this missive...
In looking at your drinking links I see one notable oversight, namely www.penfolds.com. Not only is Penfolds Grande Hermitage the best wine in the world, with a different taste of mind-boggling complexity coming with every vintage, but they also have the most interesting and comprehensive web site of any alcohol producer in the world. For those who can't round up the $1,000-$2,000 or so necessary to buy a bottle of it, or don't have a rich father to serve it at annual trustees meetings, I laugh at your misfortune.
No need to respond here, since Anthony is actually from a rich family and does have occasional access to Penfold's Grand Hermitage, but yet he buys the most godawful crap when he has to pay for it himself, and says "I think it's pretty good" while I refuse to use it as salad dressing.
Shortly after Tony Faber put up his completely ludicrous StarCraft Strategies here, he received mail from Terrax (Dec 14, 1998), who thought he was emailing me and that I had written the material. I haven't responded to Terrax yet, but I hope he got some good information from this article. It's entirely possible; in one of my first encounters with Terrax, I watched Bean kill his entire base with one dropship and 2 siege tanks. 8P

Hey Mu, Terrax here. When last we played, and i was being a terrible nuiscance, you asked if i had read your web page, well now i did, and let me say, pure genious! I almost fell off my seat reading this stuff and i can't wait to try it out. Keep the ideas rolling dude, you got potential =^)
Dostovei Kell, before he became a resgular insane person on the forum and Shadwolf's sparring partner, sent me this on March 10, 1999. It's marginally about Starcraft, but more about his phobia of carriage returns. I can't really just discard it, as I have been known to write really long rambling letters myself. However, they were usually written to girls I know whom I thought I could eventually get sex from. This fact makes me slightly nervous.
Hello to he who is known as Musashi. It's 10:47 AM and no one's home, so I'm all alone and I don't feel like trying to finish Brood Wars yet, and I'm not sure if the map I'm going to eventually send you (wether or not you approve) is free of bugs yet, so there's nothing to do but write a letter to Mu so that it can sit around on some media somewhere singing songs about sensational st...sorry. Anyway, the point is that there is no point, and I think that I've more than made that clear. Let's see, what idle comment can I make to lead my kwazy head off into another direction? Ah yes. I read all of the UO Chronicles again. Yup. Every stinking one of them. You know why? Because the boredom you complain about is nothing compared to the curse for which I use the term. Why else would I slave for hours on a map for such a frivolous, petty thing as Starcraft? A computer game! An absolute waste of time, by all accounts! But alas, it is done, and now there is nothing but this writing to keep the curse at bay. Aha! Another idea fills the void. Nah. Thinking. . . . . . . !.....!!! I really am just sitting here thinking. I'm not building to anything. Just drinkin' my ovaltine mixed with skim milk (er...yum?). Hey, I'll tell you about my day thus far! Basically I woke up, and everyone else left...and.......now I'm here! Well, boredom has gone under my lookouts, up through the ramp past the photon cannons, over a regiment of dragoons, and has destroyed everything except the Chevy. Do you think the Protoss would put those little neon lights around their lisence (taking said document out of pocket to check spelling....commencing adequate self punishment..done)license plates? I mean what do butchers get out of life anyway? Ya know? I have a bunch of Starburst(TM). Well, it's getting late, so, but oh yes! I had forgotten! There is nothing for me to do! HELP! WHEE! WHEE! Ah hell, I'll just send you the map. It's a good ma....well it's at least......well it's..different. You know, I think I've used more periods in this letter than I have in a long time! Back to the map from..something. The map is best played if you have an ally to play with, but you can play by yourself if you want. You can also use it as a Free For All or Melee map if you wish. Hell, do what ever you want to it. Take a screen shot of it and shit on it. What the hell do I care. That's what you call a """rhetorical""" question, and that's why I didn't put a question mark, although you actually have a choice. I'm only guessing, of course. I'm pretty comfy here in my cheap office chair in my porta-heated room, and god knows I'm not gonna get up to check something like that. You don't really care, do you? You're LAUGHING at me, at my pain even! Well who's laughing..Now! Now? NOW! Do you want me to go on? Too bad. This isn't interactive. You have no choice. Of course, you could just stop reading, but even with that possibility lingering overhead, I'm just gonna have to keep goin'. You know why email is better than talkin' live in some ways? Well, it's the fact that you get to think harder about what you're going to say. I'm not thinkin' too hard about this, obviously, but there are still long moments of just staring at the screen. Ya know, self betterment is a very old concept, but I think that the definition has become corrupted over time. I think that the old concept mostly concerned behavioral values such as honesty, but the modern term is more about money. For example, we don't think of a rich man as being better than someone in middle class, but we would still rather be in the rich man's place because he has objects that we treasure for some reason. And he has money to make himself more comfortable. It is a fact that we are born, we make money to stay alive, and then we die anyway, and that is acceptable if we can at least assign some other purpose to our existence, but some people want to make no more of life than just that. Or perhaps their mental faculties prevent them from seeing past their own self-styled prison. I also have Skittles, and I can't decide which of the two is better at any one moment. What do you think? I've gotta check your map for bugs, but I'll leave notepad open so you can watch. ooh. Better save. There we go. Oh. I was just leaving. Wow. It's already 11:30 and I haven't left yet. But I shall do so: Oh well, it's probably okay. After all, I've tested the damned thing like 50 times, or probably more. Hey, also, I'm not crazy. I was reading some of the shit that I wrote, and I'm not normal, but I'm not crazy either. I'm just KWAZY. Hee hee. Well, I'm through draing all the crap that floats around in my brain I think, so it's time to go to the other computer on my LAN and go to your page so I can figure out where to send this crap. Bye!

Oh me oh my.
You are one funny fellow (both as a person, and fellow funny bastard). I just read your page, and I must say that your writing skills are commendable, as well as your twisted sense of humor. It's the kind of stuff that makes a star (aside from noble gasses and millions of years and stuff). Anyways, just thought I'd give you some encouragment.

A chilling warning from Ed on Apr 29, 1999...
You must update! If you fail to comply with my terrorist demands my blood pressure shall continue to rise and I shall be forced to watch the FOX Network.
You and I both know that does not bode well... the Fox Network causes many bad things to happen.... it provokes civil unrest among the local wildlife....
Hmm... watching the Fox network is truly a horrible burden. Almost as bad as the one I feel when someone says, "Yey, I saw your site... and it INSPIRED ME TO PLAY UO!" Nooooooo...
May 9, 1999... I just like Beorning's funny ass stories.
Singer calls me up.." we met these weirdos and they bought us drinks, knowing we were broke. They said we'd have to come down and listen to them play. Oh, drink for free all night maybe play a set."
So I found myself waitin at the singer's house, waiting for guitar man to show up and hoping that these dudes we were going to see had some sort of bass. We arrive at the downtown bar sometime around ten, and buy a round. pitcher was only 8.50. It was only export too. As I sat sipping my beer, longing for guinness, or even a bottle of canadian ice, one or two of these fellows wandered sort of close and spoke a few sentences. hello. handshake. blah blah.
Well we waited. and waited. We spent much of the time staring at empty pitchers, wondering who would break down and buy one, and also where this 'river of beer ' had dissappeared to.
During one of these micro visits, one of the dudes stated they wouldn't be playing till say, midnight. We asked incredulously, 'what are you going to do till then?' "get drunk" was the reply, and he wormed his way back to the table of the official 'band of the night'. Somehow, we managed to finagle the one and only [as events would prove] free pitcher we would get. "this blows' we all decided.
After a bit more sitting around, and discussing my fine interpersonal skills [hehe], I was, err, allowed to approach these dudes. I asked the bass guy if I could plink around on his bass. "uh, I'm a drummer, but ok."
So I start playing this thing. Of course, expecting the courtesy of shutting the blasted cd player off was vain on my part. I resorted to playing along with some jazz thing. I figured, if they heard that I could actually play, they would shut it off, and the rest of OUR little group could go up and play. A surprising thing happened. some people came into the bar. and stayed.
Whoever was running the cd musta figured me to be a jazz player, and threw on some Zep. hehe. well, the second zep song they started screwing around with the track, skipping it all over, and it began to dawn on me that something was amiss. FINALLY they stopped the cd. I began a composition of my own, only to hear the stinkin cd player again. fine. Having no more desire to play mr microphone, I resumed my seat. Our band peeps congrats to me for breaking the ice.
After more delay, the singer guitar player and I are told we can play. Of course, we go up, for some sound check. some idiot slide guitar player starts tuning it, sound cheking it....
Well that was fun.. hey, listen.. it's metal bass.. listen to this... finally the slide guy leaves. And me, singer wants guitar player to do a little tune first. So he does. Then we join him and do a couple originals. The audience likes it.. they clap. We sit back down, hoping we will get to play some more later on. After all, although the river was apparently dry, they seemed irresponsible enough and maybe carefree enough to let us play again. The crowd liked it.
Then, the ten piece band played. A short summary... why do you need 3 guitar players to play the SAME crappy chord? The slide guy was interesting for, say, the first 5 minutes, then I'm sure he got bored, and started playing really awfull off key things. He eventually relented and joined the 3 guitar players in that crappy chord.
I think they managed to play 2 different chords. now, you might think I'm being harsh, I'm not. This went on for , err, an HOUR and twenty minutes!!! They even claimed it was 3 songs, though to me it was one putrid one. Then, miraculously , the 'band' was done.
There was some sympathy clapping from the audience. Relief, I suspect. After a polite wait, we tried to go up again. Actually, the 2 sound guys were enthusiastic about the idea. So up we traipsed again. It was not to be, the ten man band, or elements therein, conspired to stop this, and there was no sound for the guitar or singer.
Unkowingly, I played for ten minutes [hoping they'd get organised, and somewhat lost in my music]. I even made em listen to paginini on bass. Eventually instead of being their usual ignorant selfs, one of the weenies simply came up and asked me to stop [the ten piece band DONE for the night, I failed to see any good reason, unless the ten piece band wanted to torture the audience some more, or just continue playing cd's, which I find inappropriate at a popular downtown bar - can do that at home]. It was at that time I noticed no guitar player or singer with me. After fixing this gent with my best 'I feel like squishing you, you little worm' glare, I rejoined our little group. We all concurred that the odds of that band playing at this location again were nigh invisible.
We got the heck outta there. I drove the guitar player's car [he didn't want a DUI], dropped him and his girlfriend off. And slept on the singer's couch. As no good deed shall go unpunished, I was awoken a couple hours later, and found myself helping her help her son do his homewrok on the ten commandments
Did I ever mention that the music business sucks? I should have, if I didn't.

not necessarily , however , new games = bad games is definitely an acceptable axiom -
i'm really glad u put into very funny words exactly what i have thought for some time now..
i haven't even played a single game since jedi knight - which although i think u gave a bad rap- i still didn't finish..hmm...
well said , uh, Mu ! bring back games with stories and playability! fuck the damn grafx!what good r grafx when you're asleep?
i say u should write ' the shimmering screen ' into a computer game - it still would probably suck , but i'd buy it!

JMEDIT was confused by my "no-frames" page on June 14, 1999...
I'm confused sir. I attempted to access Shadwolf's Pokemon page, only to be sent to a site written by a disturbingly violent man. For the sake of my two darling kids, please help me find the Pokemon page.
I immediately apologized and sent the poor soul to rotten dot com.
