Mitchz95 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 My first reaction was "Aw, man!" But in hindsight I guess I want them to be sure they're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PakledHostage Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why do we need yet another thread on this? The mods just went through and merged the 3 or 4 other Orion launch threads into one... Maybe they like playing "whack-a-mole", but maybe they don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZooNamedGames Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have just returned so ask me what happened on my thread simply since Im too tired to bother with managing 3 different threads on the same topic. So if theres something you want clarification on or whatever ask me there and I'll respond OR at 3:30pm EST if anyone wants me to- I'll jump on my private IRC server and we can chat live time there instead. Your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
