later to him (in other words, if I'm trashing something I did, but didn't
realize or don't remember, don't be to harsh, and tell me)
Robert Rodriquez sez:

I have to agree with you there. I really liked the Maxim plot, but I think
it took to long to actually do anything. It was great and epic, but because
of the delays of getting some many people involved, it cuts down on how fast
things can respond. In the real SR world (if that's not an oxymoron) It
would have happened in less than a week. But you can only do things so fast
on here. So I kind of agree with Rob, and kind of don't.

I think that's directed (at least partly) at me. I didn't react. I
overreacted. I just got upset because someone was shooting down my
character and another character who really did know what they were doing,
but for the story, had to have certain things happen to them. Then I got
slapped around a little (which I deserved) and went "oh yeah, lighten up
stupe. it's just a game"

I'm a little tired of that myself. How many company Exec's are seriously
going to slum enough to spend time with a bunch of worthless runners? It
might be a great way for a controller to keep in touch with their agents,
but I really can't see it going any farther.

My only complaint had been that there were a lot of t/d stamp switches, and
I didn't think it was supposed to be that easy to change. I thought people
agreed with me on that because there did end up being less of them after
some discussion. I personally didn't see any other id violations that
bothered me.
