Rado: If I understand your intent, as split over many different message threads: Your concern and your feelings are not unique. Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a major break between the people who wanted to keep the standard Netrek rules + feel. Status quo if you wish. Others wanted to make the game all new with huge extensions. This became the birth of Netrek Paradise. The source is open - you can do what you will. Nobody can stop you. But, if you want to change the existing game, as maintained by the existing maintainers, you are going to have to deal with the fact that precedents have already been set, and expectations already exist. I saw you claim something to the effect of "this game is not your game - this is all of our game." The same applies in reverse, Rado. This game is not your game - this is all of our game. The community has put trust in the current people "in power", and there is little you can do about it. Cheers, mark -- Mark Mielke <mark at mielke.cc>
