Hi,
I don't know much about the others, but I have emailed Jervis and he seems

Hi!
Pretty much what I have been told from most people who have gone to US

jervis and andy, any experience with them?
As you I have heard good things about priestly too.
I guess its far easier to attribute game design flaws to players than
accept their own shortcomings.
