don't understand your msg, are you agreeing or disagreeing,
My basic msg. once you get past all the words and understand the feeling
is this. The list is going to SH!t, cuz everyone either doesn't know
to use the rulez as a guide (wich by the way ladies and gents is what
they were meant for) or is just afraid to use their imaginations and
push the boundaries that have bought us to this lull of moonth long
plots and sensless plots. I don't know if I'm expressing this right, but
I want to let you all knw that It's depressing and frustrating.
I want to fix it, but I don't know how. that's the frustrating
part.
We've lost a bunch of good people, and it's not just cuz they've moved
on to a new job and just don't happen to have access or that they moved
on. They left cuz, they don't want to deal with the ignorance and the
reluctance to do what's best for the list instead of for the individual
character or characters.
Some of the things that have become habit, T/D stamp switches,
actively accepted munchikinism, BLANTANT Corporate Backing of
characters, no matter how you try to explain it away later, is just
unacceptable ( I think Evan, "GK" mainly meant this, but pointed towards
you cuz, you're doing it) the T/D STamp switches, that doesn't bother
me, what bothers me is non-decker types, or Brand spankin new deckers,
still dry behind the ears, changing their T/ds, or some of you folks
saying "well my character doesn't know how, so neither does everyone
else" think about that statement... then this bullsh!t "well only
posers would do it" or "really good deckers don't have to do it cuz
their so good" BullSH!t!!! restricting the imagination.
I have a question for all of you that put this as an reason to
restrict the use of changed T/D stamps, When you go to the
store, and you buy a cleaning product or new technology(pc's,cd-player,
anything) do you buy the stuff that's in a plain white rapper (if you
can help it) or do you buy the stuff in the colorful, eye-catching
packaging? If I'm a fixer/johnson and put a post lookin' for talent
and some guy named "Bumble-wax <23:45/3.23.56>" and some dude
"MAXTOR <DON:T HIRE BUMBLE WAX HE SUCKS LOOK HE CANT EVEN CHANGE HIS
T/D STAMP> answers, just who do you thing is getting the job?
nuff said about T/D stamps. Munchkinism, ask your self whens the last
time one of your characters died? or got seriously hurt and lost a
body-part? (finger-nails and hair don't count)
You know BUZZ (sorry I forgot who runs him)handler ragged on me cuz I
said once that you should be able to perform the double somersault,
and still blast at the four orks standing in the cardinals with the
assault cannon, and land on your feet. but that was an exageration on
terms. I never said you would hit anything.
've said a mouthful haven't I. let me know what...
