Gentlemen, here is my proposal for the forthcoming
Kin Strife module:The Company eliminate an accretion on the GSI
inheritance. Namely its
helpful nature. Now I know, The Company is proud of
its services. But
in effect they are providing a competency floor.
The less able are
partly rasied towards the level of the most
competent.Perhaps The Company is a member of the 'helping
society'. You know, the
people who erode self reliance Why become
self-sufficiet when there is
someone who can assist?Are you a pooor proooofer? Not to worry, the GM
will proof your turn for
you.Always late to meetings and have trouble with
deadlines? The Company
will send you a reminder and maybe even hold the run
of a game for a
couple of hours.Can't retain, sort or prioritize information? So
inundated with data you
are unsure what is important? Thankfully, a number
of IT programs can do
that for you.Befuddled by the fog-of-war, confused by riddles,
uncertain of artifact
abilities? The Company's web site can help.Unsure of things generally? For Heaven's sake don't
experiment and learn
from experience. Ask the GM, he is there to help.The world is full of sly, preditory and manipulative
persons. The
Company will protect you as best they can.Espionage is part of the business/political world.
The company
discourages it.In my view the 1650 game has been eroded by The
Company. It was not
their intent, but was fallout from the 'law of
unanticipated
consequences'. They don't have to make that mistake
again. We have BOFA
for the newbies who can then progress to the
trunkated 1650. To progess
further will require more than new riddles, which
will be compromised.
The Company is going to have to acknowlwde that
helpfulness has a flip
side. The Kin Strife could be a game for elite
players---if The company
is not anxious to help.
