How can I explain the feeling that came over me when I saw an update for Spiritwars pop up in my email inbox.
Remember when you're about 9 and desperately wanting to still believe in Santa Claus but all your friends are saying he's not real yet you know you JUST KNOW in your heart that he is? And some obliging adult takes the time to do something magical so you can hold onto that belief just a little bit longer...
That's how it felt. That and more.
Spirit wars wasn't the first 'online community' I joined but it was near enough and it certainly was the one I (have) stuck with the longest. I either left the others or they left me. Spirit wars has never left me. It's always been there, in the back of mind and odd things would remind me of it, over the years and I'd find myself coming here (or sending emails).
There are people that you meet in this world that touch your life in ways that you can't even begin to imagine will happen and Randy and you and Jon and the whole Spiritwars family did that.
I didn't have anything horrid happen to me, but I knew if I did, that the SW peeps would be on my side. There was a feeling of love that tagged along in the trash talk and silliness and other discussions.
Elfie I miss the hell outta you. Contact me!!!!
It's because of Randy and others here that I even thought about reading Heinlein and I've thoroughly devoured all of his books now, not just the ones that were recommended, even the ones that people were certain I'd abhor.
i know that seems silly but really it opened my eyes to things I would never have found my way to otherwise and those things have enriched my life beyond measure.
I play online games, searching for that sense of belonging that was here and it never quite comes up to snuff and I've been in a WoW guild for years with people that I know from other places and we all email and phone and text and visit and you know what it's still not the level of complete and utter trust and belonging that i felt at the SW chats.
So to make this long winded O M G a bit shorter. What ever I can do, whatever you need you got it.

To make this whole thing successful i do recommend if not already in the works is to make this an app. Good luck with all the hard work......can't wait

1) What did you enjoy most about the game? What do you want to see remain the same as it was, no matter what?
My favorite part was the community. I spent way more time loitering in the chat room part than actually playing matches against people.
2) What did you dislike about the game? How can that be improved, so that it's more enjoyable to you in this version?
At the moment, I can't think of anything I disliked enough to want changed.
3) How important to you were the Tournaments and League? Did you ever participate in either or both of them? If so, which ones and how often? If not, why not? How can they be improved? What were the most and least enjoyable aspects of these features?
I loved both! I was in multiple seasons of League and eventually became a Tourney host. I don't recall any problems with League, but sometimes the tournaments would last too long. Sometimes that was a result of the deck being used; some combinations just tended to result in long games.
4) If you were a member, how did you feel about migrations and events? Did they happen too often or not enough? Considering that they're an integral part of the game design, how can they be improved?
I never liked losing my best spirits, but who did? That was probably part of the reason I played fewer matches. But considering that the negative events happened to everyone, I can't really complain about it. The positive events often gave me stuff I didn't need or want, but I did occasionally get some cool stuff. Overall, the events were a good way to shake everything up and keep the game fresh.
5) On what devices would you play SW? Would you play on a a mobile device, or would you only play on a computer/laptop? Is there any aspect of the game that can be changed to make you more likely to play on a mobile device? Do you think the mobile version of the game should be run separately from the PC version?
I would most likely play exclusively on my laptop. I might log in on my phone simply for the chat feature if I was somewhere that I needed to kill some time, but I doubt I would want to play matches on my phone.. the screen would just be too small. I would possibly play on a tablet though.
6) Keeping in mind that the game will never be pay to win, what kind of features would make you consider signing up for a membership?
As long as the game is basically the same as the original, I'll sign up in a heartbeat.
