Hmmm -- I too am on digest with plot d.


Time Stamps:

Yeah, well. Everytime we have an influx of new people they seem to see
the old people using them and decide that its ok. No one wants to run a
character thats inferior to EVERYONE else's character. "I want my decker
to be pretty good too -- Dark Angel is good...I'll modify my TD stamp
so I am as good as he is". Then there are some who modify their TD stamps
out of put laziness (No, not just sniping at someone, this was
the ctual excuse he gave for his mages and riggers changing their TD
'I've got N chars...I dont have the time tokeep up with all the TD/Stamps'.

I've said this before and I suspect that, unless I just get fed up with
things around here and quit posting, that I will say it a hundred times
more -- Trixie figured out how to change it sometime around the
begining of the summer. For the longest time she kept posting trying
to change it. Finally she just came out and said "I cant do this, someone
help out". At that time there were prolly 4 deckers tat jus GAVE her the
code needed to do it, Scourge, on the othr hand, slammed her into the ground
for giving up / wanting to change her stamp.

Background Count:

I wasnt going to omment on this at all. The only thing I resent was the
way the initial message read to me. It wasnt a "I would like to do X" it was
more writen like "I've changed the background count in XXX. I want some
mages to comment on it for me to further along my story..." Im more than
willing to give background into anyone's stories and randomly do (admittedly
without asking thier direction -- Im sorry, usually you can ignore it if
it wasnt the direction you were going with your line -- discount it as
the raving of a mage on the brink of losing his mind) add tid bits when I
feel that Kor might have had a clue what was going on or he feels like
doing his "Im holier than you are, why cant we just all get along?" tirades.
Those are good thearapy for me.

Play Nice:

Yes, please do.

On a note -- When are we going to do that cool vote for favorite character
story, plot, beer thang we did a while back? I was too new
to the list last time so none of my characters had been
developed...I was kinda hoping that this time I might at least
get honorable mention or something. SMILE.
