Hi Sir Nightfox !
Yeah, maybe you're right... So aren't you interested in ?
Sneaky wants to know ! so he'll try to sneak in and will hire some runners
to do it... maybe he (and the runners) will die in the attempt, but maybe
he'll come back without success or maybe he'll come back with some info
about the horrors... Rmember he is a SNAKE shaman... so be it...
I could have answered privately, but IMNSHO, the point should have to be
made to everyone...
Moreover, if you feel that a plot thread is not interesting, at least
tell it in the FAQ. So I won't be interested in running it... OK ?

Just a little bit annoyed by your aggressivity,
Fu.

some - I like to conjecture about things, but over all my two of my three
magical characters on the list have a VERY good idea about the whats whys and
hows about tibet being locked away. Mostly from the fact that one is a
dragon (well, dracoform is better) and the other is his protege.

I personally would stay away from horror plotting atleast until after
Harlequin's back comes out - the description in the module and what can happen
will have a big effect on how people view horrors

remember - most people are not yet aware of bugs, let alone Horrors which no-one
has discovered as of yet. Secondly - the older Elves and people seem to want to
keep the info about things like this hidden for a time (Harlequin said he might
have to kill Dunklezahn if he spoke up too much).

As to going to tibet - that in itself would be hard and would require a lot of
planning. There will be no roads. The weather is probably worse around the
barrier because of magical flux. How would you prepare for the enviroment?
Can you speak the language - and is the even a readily accessable lingau-soft
for the various languages on your way (sure japanesse is easy to get, but what
about all those Chinesse tongues and such?)

Coming back - what would you say? would what you say be proved wrong later?
We have had this problem before with Germany - It used to be Imperial Germany,
now it suddenly was erased and became the German Free States (or whatever).

It is and isn't interesting - more of the fact that it probably isn't the best
time for it, give it a month or two to see how the Insect and Horror plot by
Fasa is coming along.

Why would it need to be put in the faq? We can't think of everything.

Also - as to why I am so against it - I don't know, it just struck me as
something that should not be attempted for a bit.
(hmmm - maybe the tibetan's a have a spell that makes people forget about them
and not be curious!!!! ) :)

>Just a little bit annoyed by your aggressivity,

sorry about that, sometimes things don't come across properly.

My biggest suggestion would be to atleast wait untill the smoke clears from
the dante plot - there is a good possibilty of plots that start now falling by
the way side in its wake. (sort of the way things disappeared during the
Monica/Core Wars plot. - man do I FEEL OLD!!)
