Hi all,
Nick in response to myself...(Devin asks the same but _so_ much more sweetly)
>What a load of crap! I recall at least three helpful posters giving Chris
>Someone chapter and verse on Gagarth, before Sandy posted the entire text
>of the official Chaosium cult write-up. Were you asleep at the time?
It would appear so, Nick.
Either that or I mistook the postings for debate on something or other of little or no interest to me and therefore scrolled through them as fast as I could.
My loss I guess. I don't suppose anyone knows the relevant X-RQ-ID numbers do they?
>I thought I was doing you a kindness by not rejecting your offer of "some
>non-Gloranthan campaign notes from a friend's campaign" sight unseen.
Well, thanks for the thought but, no, you weren't.
I asked a question, I was hoping for an answer. I didn't want to clog up the daily with a load of stuff that would be of no interest to the majority. Since you would appear to be in a minority of one (unless I have missed some votes, which is very possible) I shall be posting the notes.
If you do happen to take a look at the notes and do, indeed, dislike them the author would welcome some feedback.
>That's two replies, now. Happy?
Yes thanks. Gleefully so.
>But I get irritated when the good things about this Daily are ignored, and I
thought >the speed of our Gagarth (and other) turnarounds was a fine and noble
>achievement.
I unreservedly apologise if my comments irritated you. It was merely an observation based on my own experience with the Daily thus far. Perhaps I have been 'spoiled' by having only previously participated in CIS forums where there are Sysop's who will generally fall over themselves to help people out.
I have apparently 'crashed and burned' over the Gagarthi and am not ashamed to say so.
And as I have posted before, I usually find something worth printing off each day. Hardly an unappreciative comment.
>Obviously some folk missed it. Maybe they were off grinding axes at the time...
If you were implying myself there then sorry, but no. Not me. I endeavour to keep my tongue firmly planted in my cheek when I post here.
My hardy endeavour starts to fail with this though:
>As Peter's post, above, this red herring irritates me no end! A hate-figure is
being
>set up: the "Gloranthan Scholar Who Never Plays RuneQuest And Ruined My
>Game". Whoever he is, he ain't me!
Nick, If you think that I am in support of this notion then you are woefully mistaken.
Even if some postings may not be to my taste at least those that post have made
the effort. Different people have different ways of exploring/playing
Glorantha.
Live and let live.
WRT my 'red herring'. It is not so, I believe (with the exception of my unmitigated cock-up over the Gagarthi). But to discuss the matter here would be of little relevance to the purpose of the Daily. If you wish to do so by private e-mail you are welcome.
I will be away this weekend spending quality time with my (far) better half so the next batch of Jon Drake's campaign notes will be posted some time next week.
All the best,
Peter :-%
