Alright, my save is up. If we are doing this chronologically I will probably have to move it somewhere else, but that is ok. Let me know if/when you need me to do so.

Now, I don't think this has been said before, so I'll be the first one to do so. It has been a pleasure, a true privilege, to write with such a talented group of people like you. Maybe some have dropped out along the way, and they were missed, but I enjoyed writing with you all very much.

It has been an interesting experience, as I've gone through many ups and downs personally while this story was written, but at times Outracing The Flames was an escape from it all, and what a wonderful escape it was.

Again, thanks to you all and I'm looking forward to read the epilogues that we are still missing.

I wholeheartedly agree with Farael on this. And as my first written RPG ever (and in a foreign language!), this really has been an experience! Even though Sythric came in late and as a character seemed to be a bit different (Raedwald, r.i.p., not included) he surely was a bit side-tracked from many associations between you others, but I still loved to write him as a kind of hang-around member of the group. Also his lonely ride in the beginning and his being wounded in the end forced me to post lots of "private rememberance posts" to build his character in quite an inward fashion. Hopefully the next time I will have a character who will be more involved with the others...

Thanks Arry for a great set up of the game! And Brand really felt like having a Scandinavian, almost Finnish mindset. So he was very familiar character to me...

Thanks Tevildo for a great game! With Leod especially you really took resposibilty in getting the things going. And if Dorran is to continue his adventures, I'm interested to see what comes out from him.

Thanks Undómë for writing so sensitively and beautifully (I really admired many of your posts)! You are a gifted writer indeed!

Thanks to Folwren also. Athwen's joining the group really stimulated the game and you too write nicely.

And thanks to Farael for Osmod's character, even though he kind of went a bit unseen towards the end. I would have loved to see him being actively in the game to the end, but yes, RL is a force majeure hindrance...

Child! You really electrified the scene every time you dropped in! Excellent writing indeed.

And yes, thanks to all those who made nice contributions to the game at its early stages. It was sad to see that you dropped out.

Enjoy the RL-summer everyone.

I hope we meet again!

My post is up. Good gracious. . . these last posts are always the hardest for me to write. Tevildo will be getting his post up after mine and that will finish off Athwen's story and explain the ending of my last post.

Everyone, all your epilogues are wonderful. I have repped those of you who I could, but some I've evidently given too many reputations to too recently. This game has been a lot of fun. I'm really impressed with Nogrod and Farael, who both use English as their second language. Great work, guys.

Arry, I think this was an excellent game. I'm glad you did it, and you did a great job as game owner and overseer.

Thanks to everyone. I have enjoyed writing in this story, and repped those whom I could.

Athwen - Especially thanks for suggesting we collaborate on the last posts. It was fun doing it together.

Arry - Thanks for your leadership and hard work.

Looks as if our game sprouted two marriages! Hope to write with everyone again.
