Thanks Max :)

Congo has been drafted for years, so I was pretty sure on the characters' personalities before I wrote them.

I will say that Jim probably went through the biggest change planning to practice. He was supposed to be this heroic robbed King. Dude was meant to be my Rupert or Colby, but he just turned out to be an asshole?

I fought it for so long, I tried time after time to make him likeable, but nothing stuck, so in the end I rolled with the "conceited asshole" persona for him that everyone was reading him as anyway.

He was more fun to write that way but there's no way that he will be the four-time player that he was meant to be. Lol.
