I appreciate that, ugilick. Playa988 decided to ignore or never read my request to not post bugs in the forums. The story is the most complex on the site, variable and script wise, and was bound to have bugs, so was hoping that would be respected. Wish I had tested the stat creation a bit more; I believe I fixed it now. Then again, any time you play a game/story that's hard and you need to exploit to win, that's actually a compliment. I can remember multiple times in various games over the years that I discovered that if I "run behind left post, dragon can't bite me" type things, and had to use them. So, good.
