That's nothing, I actually killed off or retired all my PC's and
concentrated on GMing only so I didn't have to worry about my fellow
player getting back at me for the pain I caused his characters when I
was GM-ing.

AFAIK the EGMG has been around in one form or another <egmg>, spelled
out in full, or just plainly <GMg> (which should be enough in most
cases) since I joined that list back in the mists of time, or 1992-3
depending on your perception of time. So I think a fairly solid THWAP
back is in place for MS-ing* a concept that has been around for ages.
>:) But I'll hold back that Carp and the obligatory long story
(hide! hide!) till the archive is linked up to a search engine (that
must be the best thing that happened to the list in ages! Kudos to
people who planned it, and more so to the ones who will execute it).
Plus you did mention not having the copyright yet :P <EGMG>
( * MS-ing from the verb to MS - a strategy to pretend innovation or
originality by bluntly copying something that already exists, while
ignoring or belittling the role of the original)
