given that the storys have done more to enhance many players games and also no doubt got bored players to return to the game i hereby petition for nuklear slug to be hired as a pr man for egosoft,or we wil send in the marines got it.
If I worked for egosoft I'd employ him as a plot writer, that's for sure.

A brilliant read from start to finish!

Thanks very much for taking the time, effort, and care to make this, and thanks again for including me as an ill-fated trucker.

hey Idleking, any way I can get a link to the PDF. I got half way threw making one and my computer crashed on me.

If you look on the Creative forum thread list you will see this thread has been viewed just over 500,000 times. It's even managed to creep up to 8th place on the top-ten most-viewed list on the Statistics page!

How it has done that when there have been no significant updates for over a month I am not sure. Do all Sluggy's fans keep coming back to pay their respects and leave flowers?

I would say that NS' stories have such legendary status that every newbie to X3 will stumble upon them sooner or later. Heck, I come back over and over to read them and get some new inspiration for my games. And thanks to no easily downloadable pdf of "Wanton Use...", this is the only place to read the story.

Hey, that's a good way of keeping the numbers up --> no-one post the pdf!!!
:D
