Alright, I've had enough, here is the official ruling from me about time
stamps. Learn it, live it, love it.
- -----
IDs cannot be changed (your name) between postings as it is a hardwirted
part of your deck. Remember all people use some form of sculpted VR
enviropnment, and if you are going to be changing it for every posting,
you become ineffective.
IE, chose a name and stay with it.
- -----
You cannot modify the time/date stamp on a whim, folx. It is not stamped
by your computer, it is stamped by the telco network medium and requires
an EXTANSIVE hack job to do it, tying up way more CPU time and energy
than the average decker/hacker is going to have. Only the real good can
do it. In all the characters I've run (a couple dozen) only two were
able to change their time/date, one was an ace decker and was introduced
as that. The other was an AI, who by it's very nature was able to.
- -----
Everyone wants to have powerful and special characters, but get a grip
folx. Not every person is the world is special. Not every person can be
all powerful. Group up.
