The Mandalorian Mercs would like to congratulate Mercs and Rebel Legion costumer Julie Derhak for being the first ever recipient of the Mandalorian Mercs Scholarship award.



The Scholarship committee voted in favour of the Krayt Clan member receiving the $500 scholarship award to help her in her wish to study Video Games Design as a major.

Julie's impressive honors included being on the Honor Roll since the 7th Grade, CoEditor-in-Chief of a Literary Magazine and Editor for school Newspaper swayed the committee, as well as her impressive essay depicting how the Mercs has helped her overcome shyness and take an active role in her community.

Congrats vod!

Take this concept, replace with Star Wars and Mercs words/terms.  Then... get it all in 3-D, realistic background, thumping score, but instead of "adding" limbs, you blast body parts off.  You'll sell millions.   8)

This should give you a head start, but you might need to find a Commodore PET to run it.   :rolleyes:  Unless you can write a Basic-to-Windows conversion program...
