Karl, Again, I am sorry. As I said, Bruce was told, as it was something we
were discussing as he was the "Johnson" for this. I didn't put it to Plot-D,
as the whole of Plot-D is not the ... this is not coming out right ...
rethinking ... Bruce is the "Johnson", and Prophet operated within the
parameters of the Johnson. It only effected the actions of the "TOSSIT" group
with regards to the "TOSSIT" Group members.
Basically, it's a decker being a decker. It wasn't a permanent thing, nor was
it meant to be. But it was meant to be a "role playing the character thing",
which is something that Erik does well, and I am attempting to do well. It is
something I've noticed Brion and Yourself do well with Irish and Xenon. It's
the paranoia aspect of the character slipping in. It's not the destructive
force slipping in, believe me it's not.
And yes, I know about the "PRIVATE" ruling for "TK", which is why it
did not
go beyond the TOSSIT format.
As I said, Bruce was made aware of it, and as I said, I made an assumption
that this was a "PBEM Format" arena. I treated Bruce in this case as the
overriding GM for the particular project. The whole of the list was not
involved in the actions. That is the transgression I have made for the week,
the only real transgression.
It hasn't covered any of the other talks, like Irish's selling of the
Hellhounds, the strange bar request conversations that were flying around the
last week or so. It didn't effect any character that wasn't involved in
"TOSSIT".
Damn it all sometimes....
Basically the list has trouble with a decker being a decker, and a magician
being a magician. If it's listed in the books, it flies, sure, but so much
isn't in the books, and it's what's beyond the books that is part of the
"Uniqueness" to a character. As Mike would argue, if I get the meaning
correctly, "it's the Savantness" of a character within his/her/its? particular
field. The reason I point out these two, is that the TK/Plot-D formats very
much restrict the "research" aspects IMO of the two listed archetypes.
Decker's use virii and probes ... and an Initiated Magician uses the
Metaplanes. Nothing beyond the truth there.
But as I said, it won't be happening again.
