Howdy! Any questions? Views? Ideas? Bashing? Feel free to leave a message on my talk page! I'll answer on the same talk page.


 * Please take a look at the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide before doing anything.


 * My Steam username is "lempea". Feel free to join our official Steam group, and spread the word.


 * Forgive me if I sometimes make spelling mistakes. Thing is, English is actually not my native language.


 * I also contribute to Wookieepedia.


 * Sometimes when I see this jewel of helpful and relevant editing, I just want to sysop-protect every single featured/good/safe article. Really, come on. Each time I receive an e-mail telling me that I page I was watching has been changed, I just don't want to imagine what catastrophe happened to it. I'm kinda growing tired of this, but I can't just protect those articles, just for the sake of good edits that are priceless. Patience, patience.

Articles created
I also created a lot of templates and categories and added/improved countless images; it would be impossible and pointless to mention them all here.

Beta 17
I'm working on a possible mini-mod with Beta 17 currently as a working title. It should feature the original journey from the trainstation to Kleiner's Lab, with some bonus maps (some of which are already available here). I don't really know if it'll be finished one day. If it is, it will be in quite a while. There are so many things to fix, and any little thing takes hours to be done. It did a lot so far, but there's still a lot to do. And I'm just learning Hammer by myself; I'm not a very good mapper. So whatever is released, it will be quite buggy, despite my numerous fixing attempts.
