It should be alot of fun, and with more people finishing school semesters, maybe the guild will be a little more active. ^.^

You guys think Team IDB can get into top 10 pie pilfering guilds? With Krystal active, and Heidi almost out of exams...maybe we could do it? I'm patching right now, and I guess I'll figure out what all this pie is about.
