Personell Files: Keep or throw away?

Safe-Keeper · 11-07-06, 07:36 AM

An original thread idea for you: What do you do with the Personell files SH3 Commander creates for you? Personally, although I probably shouldn't, I just delete mine when the captain dies.

It'd probably be a better idea to keep them, though, maybe I even could print the files of each commander when he died or retired and put them in a binder or something for reference later. Only problem is I don't know how interesting it'll really be to look back at, except to "compete against myself", trying to beat records and what-not.

What about you? Do you bother preserving your records, or are you more of a "the kaleun vanishes"-type of person [wonders if someone will get the book reference

]?

I never throw anything away. I'm a collector.

I am in therapy.

I keep 'em. I even name my commanders alphabetically by the first name so they are in the right order when I look at them in the folder.

SS, you mean packrat. :rotfl:

Save them and compare your new careers to the old ones. Then you can see how sloppy you get on the hunt.

Surprised by how many of you hold on to your files. Guess I should, too.

You know, I never thought about it, before. I can't really think of a reason to delete the files, really.
