Did I have to answer a question? There was no question actually listed if you
read that carefully.
And I will say that "Reflex" was a decker, but he was played as a decker back
in 91-92 when Otaku didn't exist. It was a jokish idea that we were bouncing
around at the time. A Gang that called itself, "the Lost Boys" from Atlanta,
who were the eyes and ears of another group of individuals (the players). And
when it came time to actually make some newer characters, the gang was used as
the template for the PCs to be.

First of all, what rules were broken? The "story development" that is
happening is happening within a given story that is NOT effecting your
characters in any way.
And you are correct that a Quest is a very powerful thing. BUT it is
something within the Canon Rules of SR. The only problem is the total details
are not given and everyone, including you and I, are forced into making
various guesses and "assumptions" (damn, twice within an hour on that word).

Whatever is decided upon.
Lots of storylines play out the idea of a "big persons' kid", old idea or not.
It is a well established idea none-the-less. Quest of Knowledge (personal
background) is NOT a super quest, by the books rulings or by several house
rulings that I know of. It -IS- considered a house ruling as a "super quest"
by some, I do realize that. But not by everyone.
I have a question, and I want the admins to answer this one.
IS "TK" a pbem being run by yourselves or not?
That is the ultimate question and hence the ultimate "ruling" that can be made
concerning TK.
If it is, I would really like to know.
There is nothing in your FAQ's about this that I have found that were sent to
me. I also know of SEVERAL people who have had similar problems with this
attitude that is given off by mainstay list members and hence quit.
Yes, I am perturbed, but not frighteningly so.
Adam, Mark, some ADMIN, please, answer this question to me, and answer it to
me privately or publicly, I don't care. But answer it honestly. I have
refrained from the name calling or anything else because repeatedly I run into
this 'attitude', and repeatedly, I run into the "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!"
response.
But for lack of better terms, I want a "GM Ruling", and I would really
appreciate it now.
But it is something that you guys aren't answering.
