Some members feared that they might not get credits for the drops they already did and since I was dropping cards when the issue surfaced I tried to appease them by informing them that all their drops were recorded. I based my information on my own personal observation while dropping when the problem started. [...continue reading Word of the Day: “Sycophant”]

These past three days I’ve noticed a drastic drop in [Kabalyero].com’s wordpress blog stats.
