Tyhm has a spectacular aura about
Before we get into reminiscences and recriminations, Pay wasn't the problem - I moved across the country, got lethargic not having to leave the house or work for a living, and drifted away from scripting. I figured Com013 was an awesome enough scripter to fill my shoes - unfortunately I didn't leave him with a framework for all the administrative crap that also fell to him by default, he couldn't script with all the requests to take charge, it fell apart just as support for Clientside servers was expiring...and I still can't script decently in Serverside-ese. I mean, look at Zorbi Blast if it's still on Kingdoms. Or the Giant Mushroom. Poorly bodged, Stefan had to rescript 'em both from ground-up.

The problem with Tyhm's Classic was what I've come to call the Horrid Relay - The team starts out at the start line, the first one runs a little way and stops, the second runner covers the same ground, maybe goes a little further and stops...every successive generation of LAT Admin sees it necessary not to trust the previous admin and Build On It, but to tear down the previous work and retool it. I'm no better, I wasted the better part of a year "Pulling Staples", rearranging the levels. Particularly in artfully destroying Big City (volcano) and Destiny (Lizardon attack). If I'd left them Ugly But Functional I could have wrapped The Golden Realm and had the credits ready by the time I left...
