They are probably not just power gamers, but x-ADND or CHAMPS munchkins
who were kicked out of their gamin group for being rules lawyers.

I detest that.

I'm sorry I have to say this publicly, but fuck you.

You don't know anything about these people, and it is incredibly unfair to make
assumptions. I don't understand why you feel that it is important to insult
Kurt Rauscher, when he was just asking a question!!! He didn't say he'd done
it, he wanted to see if it was possible, because as someone stated, SR has some
of the strangest rules in the history or RPGs. I would very much appreciate
it if you did not flame people for asking questions, and if you would not insult
my friends.

And I do not know what CHAMPS is, and I do not care to.. I don't think Kurt
does either. I've also never played ADND. And sometimes it does help to be
a
(damn!)
rulse lawyer, because it's not much fun to play a game wrong, especially when
yknow that you're doing it wrong, and you know how to do it right.

Well, I await your flames....
