I'm getting tired of replying to this sort of thing individually....

Oh Mr. Dread Executors, sirs.... I think we've spotted some newcommers
approaching at 4 o'clock high. Could someone man the FAQ cannons and
help bring an early end to September-in-June?

Danke.

Well, at least they had some semblance of a <time/date> stamp.

But replying to a PRIVATE message (and pasting in a chunk of the thing
to boot)? Jeeze-oh-Pete....

Hmmm...that reminds me.

Pete: you put the Newcomer's Guide back up yet?

Sorry, remember we're over the other side of the atlantic - believe me, I
mail 'em as soon as I see 'em! In fact, this answer probably comes just
after an official plotd NANGDE announcment.

RIGHT, LISTEN UP:

John U and LDYTinne, this is aimed at everyone, but YOU two in
specific. READ THE FAQ.

http://shadowrun.html.com/hlair/showfaq.php3?title=ShadowTK&faqlistúqstk

I have asked you both offlist, and now I'm telling you on list. Sort out the
post formatting, don't reply to mail that's been privately addressed to
someone else, and don't be munchkins. If these Three Kings had made a
billion
nY, they'd have bought a small megacorp and retired. Let's assume you were
several (like, about 3 or 4) orders of magnitude out.

Furthermore, if you're not subscribed to plotd, do so NOW.

+++++10 minute break

Right, I've read the rest of my mail, and John, while Cerberus can be as
unpleasant as he wants in character, it's getting a bit dull. If you want to
show us how great he is as a character, write up a run he's done - it can
be (*within reason - no killing Lofwyr* ;-) ) as impressive as you want.
But
threatening other characters on the list will simply piss them (in char)
off,
and their authors (OOC), and result in you writing the list's only
one-author
collaborative fiction, if you see what I mean.

Read the FAQ, and sort it out. Thanks for changing your date/time stamp,
but make sure it's always right - looks like you let it slip a couple of
times 'in the heat of the moment'. We'll let that slip for now.

Right, let this be the last mail on the subject for now.

James
NANGDE.
