I did some trawling through the archives, and was amazed how the memory
blurrs and distorts things.

I could have *SWORN* that Nurse Wratchet was on for quite a while, but could
only find about 6 postings from him/her/it/them.

(I did give up looking after there'd been a marked abscence of about a month
though, and as it was about xmas, maybe he/she/it/they just vanished over
the holiday period....)

Anyway, this is the best one I could find. (The Divide was quite an
interesting post as well.... Still got that saved somewhere, I think).

Thanks for putting ideas into words. {Why are we writing this, he doesn't
need thanks.} [Of course he does, even if in is bull...] All of you shutup,
I am typing this. Where was I...oh yes...While I am sure there are a
multitude of folks who will read this and disagree [Like me!] {Not me.}
(-squeek-or me!). I think it provides a good story base for anyone, who
agrees or not, and that means you [...] (:i.e edit it folks to fit your
views:), to give to their players as an understandable discription of magic
and spellcasting in SR2.

I thanks you, and my children thank you, and my children's children thank
you, {Oh get to the point already, people are getting tired of read this.}
(-squeek-I have to agree with {...}.) [-gasp-] -gasp-ok, ok...well...I guess
you get the point.

>From all of us to all of you.
Nurse Wratchet and Her Many Selves.

<snip Nurse Wratchet>

Reminds me of something my friends and I used to do. We'd log onto a chat
room with one name, and then take up opposing viewpoints in the current
conversation, taking turns typing. We'd sign each message with -1 or -2
or -whatever number we were (five of us at one point, around one
computer), each with a completely different viewpoint... drove people
nuts, but was funny as hell.

I have a player in my game who I've allowed to play two completely opposite
personality characters. He occasionally gets into arguments with himself. He
does both sides and viewpoints of the disagreement very well, which is
somewhat frightening, now that i thin about it....

Been there, done that. :)I've played as many as three characters, all
with different personalities and physical appearances (when I slipped up
and typed "Jett strokes his beard", I got QUITE a bit of ribbing...too
many damn windows active!). Although I prefer to avoid my PCs talking to
each other too much if at all possible, since it feels too much like RP
masturbation, IMO...

And verily, did Jett hastily scribble thusly...

Still doesn't beat the Master/Mistress/errrr thing or multiple personalities
though. Nurse Wratchet explained how the character came about, and it turns
out that each time one of the PCs left or died, Wratchet would take on that
personalily. He/She/it/they said that at the point he/she/it/they wrote that
post, there were about 6.

Who knows how far it's gone now.... That was Novemver 1995.
