RE: Something else

Hey,
	Perhaps you should accuse me of evil intent rather than simply questioning my reading skills.
I DID read your post. The fact that you said that the journey should not be a forced one in no way
invalidates your statements about "don't want everyone to drag their big MEGA characters over", 
and "Big ones have the nasty tendency to tear things up" as part of the reason for the earlier
statement. Both of these are valid statements..... I did not take them personally. You don't want
to deal with a lot of the more unpleasant result of years of over enthusiastic GM's giving out
stuff to glorify their own status then with concern for game balance in mind. I can understand that.

	This still leaves the result of that statement leading to that these high level people with more
interest in their character's stuff rather than role-playing (as pointed out by YOUR post) as ones that
I would be dealing with in a larger proportion than the GM's running out of Geleia. I went on to state
that I would deal with this..... i.e. I can run for these people. But when you make sweeping statements
about your preferred selection criteria for this move... don't be surprised that I don't enthusiastically
run forward and ask to be abused in this way. You want me to deal with the adventurers in the 
campaign that you do not prefer. Ok. But don't try to pretend it is a favor to me.

And if you will BOTHER to read my post, I said if they want to bring
their characters they are free too, there is NOTHING stopping them
but a boat journey, which if we do a time jump will be meaningless.
