you're going to get, since every bastard and his dog seem to care so much:
Ex-runner, paranoid therefore prefers to avoid legal trails even when under
false names. Has his datajack in a concealed port on the palm of his hand.
No combat ability except for a _very_ good survival knife skill
(specialisation). And there is more, much more, but he wouldn't tell you,
and neither will I.
Someone said (the second complaint in this line):
> Ummm. Did I read right? Did a _watcher_ (little fuzzy magic blob with IQ
>of .2) post to Sland?
No (again). it was an *****Internal type message, because shadowtk has no
"*****Watcher-carried Message" official wossname. I put the time/date in
because Phobos needed to know when it arrived, not because it said "by the
way, the time is..." at the end of its message.
Lastly, Evan said (on the subject of mage proportions):
> I resent that. 1% is WAY too little.
1% of characters is too low, yes indeedy-oh, but remember that we get to
choose whether we are magically active by placing priorities. The average
Joe (or Jane) does not. Sure, if you asked people "would you like to be a
mage?" most would say yes, but the response to "are you a mage?" would be
somewhat different.
