MA/SR does NOT suck!

While posts like these are usually taken with a grain of salt, a peculiar response was entered by none other than the Statesman himself:

Don't forget to add "more mini-events like the giant Octopus, the Ghost Ship and the infamous Paladin."

Hmm... no corrections to the original post, just an addition he hadn't covered. Let your brain chew on that for a while.

In any case, good work, John_Roy!
