| + | === Can't Do It Alone (-) === | ||
| + | |||
| + | You didn’t quite get the hang of surviving by yourself like everybody else did. Tasks you try to undertake alone will not go as well as you might expect. Only in a group do you find you live up to your true potential. | ||

However as with all these things, the red tape often means these changes will be several months coming. | + | A word in the right ear often works wonders.
