[UA] Re: Harrison Ford etc.

[Robin Pfeifer]

I like the idea of people getting purposely lost to be rescued by Han Solo... I think I'll put that into one of my games.

Just this morning I had an idea the UAbility of which I haven't yet figured out, but here goes:

Stephen King had this bad accident last year or so - he was run down by a car. Subsequently he used the time of his reconvalescence and the experience itself to write the book 'On Writing'. Now let's say this book is a bestseller as is any other by King, and let's further say that the person who ran him over decides to sue for a share of the income, reasoning that without him or her the book wouldn't have been written in the first place. The person wins of course and gets millions of dollars. (Hey, the way the US-American judicial system is portrayed here in Germany I wouldn't be surprised if that had already happened!) In the wake of that people begin actively hunting down celebrities, trying to hurt them badly without killing them and then cash in on everything the celebrities do after they're whole again the moment they confess in interviews 'The role of X in movie Y helped me to get over the shock of Z'.

Any comments? Not that I'll be able to answer soon as I'm going on a vacation for a week. But I'll try to catch up later.

Robin
