We pretty much came into the game with the knowlege that the GM was going to 
experiment with Greg's idea that the core premise is failure.  If you play 
from an autorial or audience perspective it works better than playing from 
an immersive slant.  And the GMCs had their lives ripped apart too.  It was 
fun, like watching someone check under the hood of a car when your in the 
center lane and you know it's a very bad idea.
