Funny, I haven't seen this happen in our games... ;^P. But in all serious,
I agree totally with this. As for the Orks, well, let's see: Orks are the most
hated metahuman race on the planet. If you are an Ork, most people don't like
you because, well, there's just so fragging many of you! While some players
don't like to put racism in their games, that's the biggest disadvantage to
playing an Ork (except for the -2 to Charisma. As one of the newbies in my game
said when I suggested she play an Ork "I don't WANT to play an unattractive
person. This is a game after all, not real life.").
And Dave, just a quick point: replies go after the post you are replying
too, not before. Just like I did here. We don't want GridSec to get you this
early in your membership to the list ;^P.
