I don't beleive that's true. Most of our plots are just window dressing.
We very rarely involve other people and there characters (often for sheer
logistics sake, it'll drag a run out from a day into a month), and it's
hard to move from a "RL role playing scene" to a textual one, simply
because we are not only the GM's, but the players as well.

Is this a good or a bad thing? later on you say that we need more T/D
switches. Which I don't beleive. There is a difference between corruption
and switching. Corruption means you want to make it harder to trace your
call route, switching means you're hot shit. Too many hotshit characters
result in bad roleplaying.

*grin* I still think it's because he had a problem with J&G's
personalities, but I don't want to start crapping on someone who isn't
here (or anyone at all for that matter), so I'll agree with you.

It's the move from playing in your own group to playing in ours. Your
characters aren't the center of the world any more, they're just one of
the masses. It takes a while to get used to. Ignore it. People learn.

Yes and no. We have to restrict it somehow, otherwise there would be NO
date stamps. Trust me. =)

Recent death: Tassie.
Death soon coming to a board near you: One of my characters.
A mean sec. guard just came in. I must bail.
