Yes I would like to hear more. I can also sympathize with being new.

I'd like to think this project isn't dead, but just
running a little slow. Perhaps people have been like
myself - extremely busy.

BTW, when was the last time you updated those lists that
get periodically sent here? I noticed the last time that
my submissions weren't on the list, and this was at least
a week after I submitted the articles.

If they didn't make it, I'll send them again.

I hope not, though it does seem to have been fading out since the
holidays. Perhaps re-posing the section of the FAQ summarizing what's
wanted for the project will help jog some peoples' imaginations.
As for me, I wish I could think of more...y'all see 'em a few days
after I think of 'em, usually.

No, don't be silly...

Remember, we just went through a major down period, with maybe 80% of the
users of SHADOWRN and NERPS off at home.

Now, they're back, but getting into the groove again. I would be as well,
but financial difficulties and catastrophic bureaucratic records errors
are keeping me out of MD for yet another semester.

As for myself, I haven't posted as much as I'd like because of the
previously mentioned thyme-killers and the fact most of my notes are
packed for a future move...

I think posters may be intimidated away from making off-the-cuff
submissions. Remember, it's not necessary to have had your submissions
playtested!

Neither of these fall within the realm of the current NERPS project.

Really good ideas about matrix and CAS setting deleted

Well I guess I heard from our fearless leader. And the word was he could
care less. So I guess I'll go, since this is the kinds of things I'm
intereseted in writing.

I'm not intereseted in creating character after character. That's getting
old!

I guess I don't understand what's being enhanced here at all.

Too bad, there were some interesting people here too.

See ya.

See, that's the CURRENT project. When this project is done, we'l;l go on
to a new one. This is in the FAQ>

So, is this list dead or what? Nobody's posting and I'm running out of
ways to encourge it. :(

Not completely. It's just mostly dead.

Seriously (smirk) though, its just a slow period, and I'm sure all
we need is an inspired, enthusiastic pep talk from our fearless leader.

Cheer up!

I'm all pepped out.

Let me put it simply. We have two weeks left on this project. If you
have any ideas, make sure you get them posted ASAP because we really do
lack material.

Please?

Ahhhhh, another creature of the night, I see...

Actually, being new to the list, I was planning to wait until the
next project started up before I got into the swing of things and started
submitting things. If you insist though, I'll look into my files (grin)
and see what I can find...

Robert,
I am sorry to say, but FaastJack has lost his access to my account,
but he will be keeping in touch periodically, mostly by email...(He got
the both of us in a heap of trouble by using it when I was not here one
day...)
If you have any info you want passed on to him, you can still
send it to this address, but I will have to print up anything you send me
for him to be able to see it...
Sorry For the Silence,
Striper

Really? From all the talk of dates and sending things to be proofed, I thought
submissions had been closed... In that case, I'll see how many plots and NPCs
I can dig up to send in...
