You're close to the "I'm rubber you're glue" way of arguing. If I'm asking what claims I need to refute it's obviously because I haven't noticed you previously pointing out any claims I need to refute. > In any case, even if I always sucked - which I won't agree with, but for > the sake of argument - why should my opinion about what could improve > the game for the average player be less valuable than yours? Personal experience matters in all decisions. In this case (playing many netrek games using voice) I have it and you don't. Let's say we're talking about how to fly to the moon. Being Neil Armstrong, I speak from experience when I say that we need two terminals for control of the exterior solar panels. You, having never even seen a space shuttle in real life and whose experience in this matter comes from reading Isaac Asimov.

I started this thread by writing about the cases where voice provides value. -- Niclas
