Goodie!
Maybe it's those Rocket Skates I ordered from the ACME company!
The last pair backfired and almost blew my legs halfway to my Duodenum.
But I'll get that pesky Road Runner yet.

Talk about Pissy. I told my new group (they needed a GM, I just wanted to
play... ...BLAM!! GM) Therm vision will not work through solid walls, no
seeing Auras through "solid" structures, they don't run the NPC motivations
and what-da-ya-meen we should have more than one fixer? My guy(/gal) won't
ever let me down!!!

Hey, don't take it to hard.I know I'm not the only Gm who's run into a
group like that out there. I like constructing well thought stories,
with 'real' NPC motivations, and watch the players interact and figure
things out. For evey great group who dogged my every move, I've had a
bunch of whiners who complained because things were too 'difficult' and
not straightforward, like D&D!(no lie, I actually had a group say that!)

[snip parts quoted]
a) Welcome, Victor (I think you are quite new to the list?)
b) check the FAQ for formatting rules, please
c) hand that group a pack of M:tG cards - they are no roleplayers.
