>going on. *sigh* I refuse to take all the fault on this...
I - and others can't find out - We have neither BB or Double up here
(well we have "Burning Bright" by Melissa Stein next to the Shadowrun section
in Hasting (books videos cd's) - Shadowrun and Stein begin with S)

thank you!!!

Ok - but WHY!?!? why did Knight Errant go in, in the first place?
Before - someone mentioned that the UB had been phased out in the UCAS for the
last three years except for Chicago - can you explain this.

Sounds fun - maybe they'll make the Cubs into a real baseball team again.
Man - think of IT!!! a free-form wasp Pitcher!!!!

Ok - we probably can't keep to this date.

No - not really - half of the posts are already written and the plot has been
meticulously planned on what goes when.
See, we is the GM here (meaning plot-d) we basically decide when things will
happen. We will ALWAYS make Talk as close to FASA as possible - but if we miss
things by a month or two it not going to matter that much in the shceme of
things (FASA puts out things spaced over months - it gives us time before the
next thing)

No we are not going to "SCREW WITH FASA" - screwing with FASA is saying that it
never happened or saying Germany is an Imperial state. Saying that we are
setting the time table back a little is just that - setting the time table back
a little.

logic. You are posting about the events in Chicago
The events in Chicago are "world effecting"
You are posting "world effecting" posts

Nah - I won't kill any one - I'm over that stage and thinking logically again.

Any one else willing to give a try?

you realize - that after I read this part I actually smirked and started
thinking without wanting to rip people apart. I love being Manic - its fun.
