/strains to read the rules/instructions
I very strongly suggest either just typing everything, or re-do the graphic without the double colours. It'll save a lot of people issues reading.

[Marek Tataka Warchild]

No offense, but I can't read the font on the intro post at all. The swirly letters the colors and the yellow shadows just make it all look like a blur to me! sweatdrop

I'm signing up again though. heart

I'm really sorry about that. I actually am going to change the look a bit. I didn't realize while I was making the thread that it would be so hard to read. Thanks for letting me know.

I agree with you and Marek. I honestly didn't think it would be so bad while I was in the middle of making it, then saw how sort of wobbly and confusing it looked later on. I definitely want people to be able to read it, so I'm going back to spruce things up.
