I used the name Shedao Shai because I was bored of writing the same old reviews, with the same old structure. As a result I decided to think up a new way to review a game. I remembered reading about Shedao Shai and his hate of machines, and decided it would be fun to review a game, pretending to be him. Though the character would never do such a thing, it was possible to make the story believable in a sort of Sci-fi way.
The whole review was based around the idea that the Yuuzhan Vong could use the game to train themselves, even though they hate technology. It was a crazy idea, but I very much enjoyed thinking up ideas to put in it. The bit that was quoted by SR about music was one of my favourite parts.
After writing the review, the name had made an impression on me, and I thought it would be nice to continue with it. I am sorry to those who thought I was messing around and playing guessing games with people, it wasn`t intended to be a joke.
I will stay as both Shedao Shai and ssxpro. I like both names, and will use them in a similar way to Grix uses two names. (Obviously not as parts of one body, but you know what I mean).
Again, sorry, but the review wouldn`t have had the same effect if written by ssxpro.

What about the people

I thought gameaday was given to the best post of the day. Are you jealous just because yours want chosen?
Why the hell does this gameaday thing mean so much to all of you anyway? Just post your topic. If it wins, it wins. If it doesnt, STOP COMPLAINING!
> I've never read any of the New Jedi Order ssxpro... :0)
I may have got the name wrong, or the smile at the end may mean you`re joking, but as you said, "You killed Elegos" when you were madam Horn. That happened during the series I meant, what ever it is called.
> By the way... why did I have a strange feeling that you liked Star
> Wars?
I think we talked about Timothy Zahn books before.
Oh and Grix, you never said how far you`d read in the new jedi order series (or if you did, I was to stupid to notice). Which book are you on?
I`d keep reading if it weren`t for the fact that ZOE and Starfighter are here.
