***~Quote of the Week~***

<`Master> that has to be the biggest shock in the history of my tc career :P
<Malloy> what?
<`Master> Prost getting COM :P
<`Master> not only did he jump like 8 ranks, but its totally unexpected
<`Master> must have been his master plan all along :P
<`Master> lull us into a false sense of security with the whole "i dont want no medals or promos" attitude, then wait for his moment to strike
<`Master> and damn did he strike hard and fast

Congrats to the new Challenge COM, RA Prost Varsis.
Muahhahahahahahaa.
