*** Depends on how it is presented. We've written a few rulebooks and
modules now I think we can do it without getting lost though but it is a
small worry. If it does go wrong we can always cut it into a different set
of rules I guess.
How do you get that from Clint making an "if-then" statement?
Just like many other ongoing discussions, the people who own
the game have a vision for improvements. That vision is
shared with it's clientele as opposed to Imposed On it's
clientele, and comments are solicited. Very rarely is the
final product identicle to the original proposal, as a direct
result of customer input.
And no matter what, there'll always be a certain percentage
of beaching and whining and snide comments. What the heck
are you complaining about? Are you even complaining? I'm
opposed to their original vision as presented to me, but
I am CERTAINLY loyal to the "customer as committee" system
of consultation they utilize.
I GUARANTEE you the final rules will NOT look like the broad
plan I've recieved off this list. It may look closer to it
than I'd like, or it might look closer to what I'd like. We
shall see, but the process has a great deal of value.
