Who among us does not love Gryphon --Sent
You have the energy of a middle-aged accountant with a love of heraldry and European folklore. --3iguy
Gryphon put a lot of skill points into productivity but none into technological proficiency --Sherbet
I liked all of Gryphon's reviews, he was very thorough --EndMaster
Never did I think I'd see the day when I was forced to accept a they/them in my virtual fiefdom, but the sneaky bastard tricked us with a featured game and all those reviews and with being so likeable and nice and so now here we are. --Mizal
CLARIFICATION: A lot of people seem to think I use they/them; not sure how that got spread around but it's always been just he/him lol

Impressive that 2026 is at 6k after less than 3 full months. If the trend continues we'd get 24k, which would be the biggest year since 2017. Forum brawls must be good for the site!
