before you read it)













Thank you Shane for answering some of our questions, but this whole debate 
started by someone wirrying about punching a hole through the inside of the 
unity.  And as far as the demons with claws punching through it, I was just 
thinking of what I think Hell is with demons that all have some kind of 
power.
And I agree with Clint that Crash sould be a little more polite, but he is a 
15 year old and is getting his chance to let off some steam about the 
adventure.  Now I play with Crash and I've haeard all of his and the rest of 
my gameplayers complaints so we came here to rant and get other people's 
views about the Unity.  I did not mean to offend anybody with anything that 
I said, but if I did I'm sorry.  Just give Crash a little slack and I'm sure 
he will be nicer.
