Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town: Character Event Guide

Version History

Version 0.1 (3/17/04)
Started this guide! Outlined everything, found my notes on the Harvest Moon game.

Version 0.2 (3/20/04)
It took all of my free time, but I finally finished typing all the character event
info that I've discovered. There was actually less than I thought.

Version 0.4 (3/23/04)
Found a whole bunch of character events, now, if I can only find time to finish
typing them.

Version 1.0 (3/25/o4)
I finished typing all the character events that I know, and I will continue this guide
 as soon as I find more character events.

Version 1.1 (4/10/04)
Sorry I havn't updated in a while. I havn't been able to play Harvest Moon at all
since classes started. I've added two more events, and hopefully a lot more by
next Wednesday. I'll also add Frequently Asked Questions in my next update.

Version 1.15 (7/10/04)
Added a FAQ section and corrected a few mistakes in the FAQ. I'm trying a 
new text format, so if this FAQ looks messed up, I should have it fixed 
tommorow.
