I'd also like to thank the organisers. The tournament went more smoothly than I imagined it would, and I know the three of you worked hard to make it all happen. Events like this help strengthen the community and grow the project, and that's invaluable to us.
Krom and I made the KaM Remake, but it wouldn't have happened without a community behind us. Keeping the KaM community strong and active is as important as writing the code, otherwise we'd have no one to play the game, no one to consult for opinions, no one to beta test, no one to make the maps, and no one to support and encourage us.
At the end of the day the KaM Remake is a way to have fun, make friends, and learn a thing or two, through an old game that we all love. It has certainly fulfilled all three of these things for me time and again
The international nature of Knights and Merchants astounds me. From China to Russia, Argentina to Estonia, Italy to Lithuania, Vietnam to Israel, Sweden to Spain, Bulgaria to Brazil, Poland to Portugal, America to Australia, everywhere people are united through Knights and Merchants. And yes, I have met KaM fans from all those places and many, many more. I never thought I'd have friends in so many corners of the earth.
Everyone can contribute to this great project in many different ways, and this tournament is one such example
I eagerly look forward to the next tournament, and I think I will enter it with my brother, we better start practising!
