speaking
collectively) fell into a state of infatuation/love with the game.many
years
and far more confusedly than the beginning player of the game has to go
through now. You the Newbie (YTN) get the ability to ask the rest of us
questions.<<<<<<
>>>>>>I personally wish more "Lurkers" would come out of
"lurk mode" on
a more
daily basis. I wish they would decide to become active members of the
community. Then maybe there would be even more people that I (or
someone
else) could try and get involved and/or help them develop their own
passion
for the game.>>>>>>> K <<<<<<<
I've never been very vocal regularly on this list, but I think that many
lurkers on the list are just like me: newbies to the list (I've been on
for approximately a year), but not newbies to SR, contrary to what K
seems to think by putting everyone in a big basket. I've GMed Shadowrun
for seven years, so far so good. I don't post often because:
(i) I don't care if I'm wrong about a rule, as long as it is consistant.
(ii) Background threads are SO scarse and SO often unsupported !
(iii) When I've got nothing to say, I just keep my mouth shut.
(iv) It takes SO much time to write in english !
Right now, the only background thread (about Tir-na-nOg) existing has
died away with three or four uninformative replies. Don't say I should
have replied then, I did on the DSF on a similar thread. Just to point
out a fact. End of the rant.
