Total, epic win.

I like the way it at times is a little like the old detective stories. At least it reminds me of them.

Thanks

I was worried that people would hate it.

Brilliant writing Jason.

It was an adventure for you after all (and many of us, vicariously), so why not play up that angle? Perfect, love it.

It's so good it inspired me to subscribe to your website. You deserve a few bucks for your excellent work.

So… Who has the better chance of being the #1 prospect in NWL: Luke or DPerez?

Yes, I know… It’s long before the draft, but, really, is there any separation between their ceilings as well as their present skills?

I think Perez has the better shot, but Jackson has electric stuff, so you can’t rule him out. Perez has a very advanced feel for command, and I think that in combination with his present arsenal will play very well in the NWL. Jackson will be more erratic, but I think the stuff is very good, so if the command flashes he could miss a shit load of bats in that league.
