ctes: totally forgot you existed. i've already deigned to speak with edwardsdv, so i don't think it gets any lower than that.
ed: i heard that different people wrote different routes, or something. would explain (but not excuse) inconsistencies. i'm not sure if you were around when everyone was raving about it, but it was really off-putting - like these guys had never read a good work of fiction before. i know some people who like it HAVE done so, which makes it all the more confusing. was going to post a rant in the ks topic after i'd finished it, but it was so bad i never got to reading the last route. should do that sometime.
