1) Netrek rules have been 'fair' since the beginning. If anything, the
rules have been against anything that would upset game play in the
standard mode, precisely because people like the game to be fair,
without surprises. Even though I haven't played in over a year - I
could jump right back in and start ogging away.<br>
<br>
2) I think you are speculating without evidence. The decline of Netrek
is due to many factors, none of which have to do with 'fair play'.<br>
