[UA] John Tynes: LART master! (With a return to game discussion)

[Wrider]

Sorry to keep this going, but sarcasm just doesn't carry very well
online.  Especially on mailing lists with tons of people talking all the
time.  That's why, love it or hate it we have ;-)  and <g>.

Patrick was unclear, and therefore got flamed for something he meant in
jest.  We're over it now.

So...to desperately try to bring it back to UA, the net is something
that doesn't seem to come up all that often in games.  Sure, it's there
- but all the weirdness and freaky shit out there doesn't seem to often
get cited in gameplay.  Hell, a flame war in UA could easily turn into
actual, physical flames.

So has anyone used the web/internet/etc in game?

So it wasn't just me, then?  Cripes, people, CONTEXT.  Patrick's got far

more class than that in any case.
