What is a Thought Provocateur?  A person willing to risk engaging in meaningful dialogue regarding game systems, art, literature, the entire experience and rising to meet the challenges I posed for them in articulating their arguments for a better game and product.  While I am benevolent, I am sometimes demanding.  These folks met the challenges I posed to them and in that process we all grew in understanding and in abilities.  While we had people come and go during this exercise, these folks should be considered being on the development team for all of the effort that they put forth to make this module a success.

Tools and coding:
HokieBT: For his excellent work on the Troop editor.
Thorgrim: Creator of the BRF Edit program and the Map Editor Program. 
David Jorden : Mastermind behind the Item Editor for Mount and Blade.
Jinnai – For his willingness to discuss the finer points of programming and being a great teacher despite his arguments to the contrary!
MartinF – who graciously helps and supports the entire M&B community.
Fisheye – for his insightful coding and various routines that help most mods be better.
Kt0 – for some very excellent dialogue on AI that we continue to this day, as well as a willing resource to help understand some of the more esoteric coding practices.  Thanks!

Fujiwara:  For his willingness to share his expertise on coding.
Maw – For realizing that if you help other people succeed, they usually do.
Ruthven – For taking the time to compile the list of resources to make this much easier.
Llew2 – For his understanding and sharing his expertise.
GetAssista – For taking the time to answer some very technical DDS questions.
Achilles – for helping with DDS file conversions.
Ealabor – for giving perspective as well as the creation of the modders lore thread.

Special Thanks:

Santashelper: Whether he knows it or not, is an inspiration on many levels.  A single note, well timed, made all the difference on this module.  He said three words.  “Don’t Give Up!” as I was pounding my head bloody for over 30 hours on the keyboard trying to find a coding error. Perseverance makes all the difference. Thank you.

Janus: For not only running the M&B Repository, but giving us the latitude and assistance to pass the Private BETA back and forth among the QA and BETA testers for several months.  Also for helping us when we needed it to insure that we can deliver to the players our best effort possible.  Janus.. thank you sir!
