Well, because of the way shadowtk works, it really hard to get certain things
to work well. You have a group of about 50 game MASTERS, all of which are
controlling their own little section of the world and trying to get them all
the mesh. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesnt.

I personally dont have delta ware in my campaigns. Why? I dont know, really,
just that the Delta stuff wasnt availble until like a year ago, and, well,
I'm sometimes slow and hard to move forward. It also didnt seem like it
was really worth it. There are so few places to get it, the cost was so high,
and, well, it would take years of doing nothing be looking for the stuff just
to finally find the right contacts outside of corporate hell to even get pointed
in the right direction. And even then your career is over. I dont invest
that much money into something / someone I am going to just let walk away
from me. You can bet on that.

I try not to get too uppity about other people's plot lines unless they a)
affect me b) go so far outside of what I consider normal that it starts to
fall into the "a" category.
