Hmmm...well at least on this single point I feel confident. I engineered my own
free-form game (anywhere from 5 to 25 active players at a given time) that ran for six
years successfully and another four on and off sporadically as we lost some of our
veterans. My characters are all tried and true, solid characters with concrete histories
and rich personalities that I sometimes feel I know better than my own.

As for everyone knowing who I am... (smile) Unfortunately I'm pretty outspoken
(abrasive?) I don't think anyone will have a problem connecting me with my characters
and screen name if and when I get a good start here.

What kind of information would ya'll like? I ask because I would like nothing more than
to deluge plot D in all the juicy details of my characters. (smirk) Physical? History?
Up to me?

(grin) Too late. I run six characters and my three favorites are currently present in
the SR list... one of 'em is nice... what do I win? (smile)

Mmm hmmm... not a chance...but perhaps I could fake it just a bit.

I would love to, but first I need to come to a decision on the other two plotlines I've
become embroiled in...whether or not they are too complicated for me to handle at this
juncture and whether or not a few select assholes will prevent me from wanting to
participate at all.

Eric/Stewart (grin) Thanks for the blow-by-blow... more of you folks around and the
world might actually be a nice place t'live. (winks)
