You know, I can't remember exactly how I first stumbled onto this place. I could be wrong here, but I want to say I was just playing around on the internet one day, and randomly typed in "totalwar.org" instead of "totalwar.com" just for kicks.... And lo and behold, it pulled up a forum where people were discussing Shogun. Imagine my surprise and delight!

I *think* that's what happened anyway. I just know I didn't find it through totalwar.com, as I didn't stay in the forums there long enough to find a link to this site. (Even back then in 2000-2001, the Org was a friendlier, more genteel place than the offical message boards--I never did get an account set up over there.) I just lurked here for a long time, reading threads and picking up tips here and there for dealing with the stupid Takeda and Imagawa clans (you really hate those guys when you're playing as Hojo or Uesugi!). After what was probably a year or so, I finally signed up as a member--most likely because Medieval had finally been announced, and I wanted to join in on the general gabbery. I've been a loyal member ever since!
