You do realise that you now have about zero respect level from some of
the people on this list now dont you? Your first post was ok. A
little un/misinformed maybe, but it was good to see someone elses
point of view. Manx came out and gave you some FACTS about SRIII and
was honest, and didnt take you on a flame ride even though it was in
the realm of possibility. Now you come back and flame him as though
he knew nothing and you were MM? Please! Either figure out that we
are here to help each other, and have a bit of rivalry from time to
time, or sit there and flame people for good opinions and advice and
become known to many email programs kill filters. This is advice.
Please, show your maturity by not responding nastily.

You did end well though. I for one love SR3, for the simple fact my
mage goes before the Sam has gone 4 times, and that a group of gangers
now posses a threat to even a good team.

I also like the karma give out for the metas v humans. Making it a
little easier on the uuumans. The skills work better (IMO), So do the
various pools. And the way your Atts affect your skills higher up
makes munchkinism harder, and the game more realistic.

I also enjoy the new books. New Seattle, Corp Download, the new
companion. And no they arnt necessary, but they add depth to what
happens in your game simply because your GM and you are better
informed.

If I can offer any advice, I'd simply say that ShadowRN Mailing list
is about good advice, updates, the OT banter *grin*, and some chatting
about events, new tech, new books, and the general goings on of FASA
and our lovely game. It isnt about flaming, although looking at some
newsgroups and mailing lists, its easy to see why some people
instinctively flame. Please, comment freely, but keep it honest and
not too personal :>

Welcome to the list!
