Special thanks to my writing accountability group for their assistance in getting the game done on time, early readers and playtesters for their willingness in trying to break the code and catching errors, and to my girlfriend, for her endless patience and encouragement in the face of incomprehensible drafts sent in the early hours of the morning.

A further thank you to everyone who played and reviewed Protocol during Spring Thing, your support of this game is truly incredible, and I cannot thank you enough.
