Okay, I've just entered 35 posts into this thread in the last hour or so, which was all the lost posts I was able to retrieve from google. That's taken me up to the 6th of March 2002 in my universe. Before the crash, I was at the 20th of March, so I've lost two weeks of universe time. That's not too bad. Lost all the stuff about Elmer Ray and "The Florida Alliance", which in hindsight might be a blessing in disguise because I was never really comfortable with the angle of Mercer sounding off on Ray. It just seemed out of character for him.
This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to rewrite everything from the point in the previous post onwards. Luckily, there's a week where there are only two "feeder league" cards, so it won't take too long to get through that. It'll give me a chance to maybe change some things that had been written before. I'm going to hold off on the idea of a "Florida Alliance" for now. I'll probably introduce it into the story in a month or so of "universe time". Now, the two weeks that have been lost were quite eventful, but I'd like to get through them quickly so I can get back to the point I was at before the crash. There might be some mention of the HBF expansion issue, but besides that I'm going to focus more or less on the fight cards until I get to the 20th of March.
The next thing I'm going to do as an ABSOLUTE PRIORITY is copy and save every post in this thread into Word or Notepad.
I hope you all continue to follow along with me.
