[Norfleet]

Bah. I am gone for 6 months, and still the wild speculations about my whereabouts persist. I hide nothing. I don't even have Dominions II installed. I am quite and thoroughly finished with this game, having struck the game from the hard drive 5 months ago. I have no desire to play it, I am not hiding anywhere, and I am quite satisfied with my commitments elsewhere. In fact, I'm only on this board system at all for other non-Dominions II games. MAYBE I'll be around for Dominions III. Maybe. This is doubtful.

I will make the following statements before I leave.
1. I continue to deny having deliberately cheated. I have made and used no programs for hacking Dominions II at any point in time. I concede, however, that the bulk of evidence is against this, and certainly cannot produce proof to the contrary, nor do I have any interest in wasting my time further with this matter. I am finished with Dominions II for the forseeable future.
2. I deny plagiarizing any of my viewpoints. It is entirely true that the proverbs I use to express those viewpoints are, in fact, often the creations of others. Mostly, I hear them from other people and agree with them. It's really that simple.

And last but not least, if you really want to know who my alternate identity on the board is, the answer is that I am Gandalf. Isn't it shocking? I've been giving you all these hints all this time, and yet you still don't get it. Well, there it is. I'm Gandalf. No more speculations.

I'm outta here.
