No. There's a difference between liking a game, being a critic, and being an official booster for it. These are all very different things. You can like a game without being connected to its creators and you can critique a game without liking it, but you can't head up the fan movement without exercising some seriosu bias. Which is pretty much what Zachary did.

Zachary engaged in active promotion for Epic at various RPG sites leading up to and following its intiial release (as did I after reviewing it). In fact, I first met up with Zachary on the Epic RPG forums, where he seemed to have been involved with the game at some level prior to its initial release (in what capacity I cannot say, it's simply the impression that I got).

I thought so. So basically the game has been out in different iterations, which pretty much rubishes claims made upthread.

Well, kind of. Except that Zachary heavily promoted both versions of the game in the capacity of 'overly enthusiastic fan'. Normally, I wouldn't be down on fandom in this regard, but here it skirts the edge of conflict.
