No Justin, I am not. What I was thinking of doing was putting forward
"adventure synopsis in the form of downloads and "vid feeds" from the
groups
unit information. As I said and for some reason it has been missed, "Aztlan
Summerfest" (the name given to the game) has it's own Mailing List and it's
own resource support. Bruce and I are just wanting to "reverse engineer" the
beginning, try and flush out the story a bit more and then re-use the
information in yet another format on the "AS" list.

Okay, time for a quick though here. I said "born from", but I didn't mention
anything else. It involves a "highly developed autopilot", as was hinted at
in the original RBB so many years ago.
That was a part of the total persona that is involved. And, for time
purposes, that was both 6 years ago in the "game time" and 6 years ago in the
"real time" (you and I in the real world) that all of this occurred. Some of
the characters involved are return performers (Binder and Johanna), and some
of them are merely those that have "gotten dragged in for the fun of it.
And there is something else that you are might be forgetting. With the
introduction of VR2 over a year ago now (or has it been two?), 'The Resonance'
is also a factor to be played into this.
Wigs is building a CD-ROM that will be the accumulation of all information
concerning and surrounding both the current PBEM and the previous one. I am
also hoping it will include the web page address of all involved and the sites
that were used to support it as well.
Yes, this is 'EPIC' in every definition of the word, both in the story itself
and in the amount of work that is going into it on the part of numerous
members.
And just for the hell of it, Jon Szeto is a "lurker" in the game. He and I
had discussed possibilities of him joining in it, but his real life prevented
that from occurring. As far as I know, he still reads the stuff on occasion.
But I know he would like to.
Input he's given to me directly has helped me formulate a bit about 'the
Pyramids' CCSS System.' It's also nice getting ideas from a source that FASA
is a bit more considerate of.
Again, I was merely looking to have "TK" as a venting of my desire to express
the game/story and see what happened.
Trust me, the volume of information that list -can- generate would make TK or
RN or Plot-D literally explode. Most of the time, they are slow, but every
now and again...geesh...
Thus I will NOT be putting the whole thing on TK or Plot-D or RN.
It simply wouldn't be as much fun for anyone involved then...
