                         PBEM Archives

       R-Alpha Design Notes (much of this belongs to Alan Husscroft)

                      Just ask if you want it.

       If I don't hear from anyone, it goes away early next year.



I'm getting ready to make some room on the ol' hard disk here at home so
I can keep playing with the computer.  I have about 5Mb worth of of various
PBEM (the *original* series) :=) files.  Most notably, I have all the GM
notes and conversations with the R-alpha natives about R-alpha.  It's a
ready-made ring-world if somebody wants it.

I'd upload to sunbane, but don't really have that capability from here (but
the sysadmin is actually working on it.  Something useful for the money.)

Happy New Year.

I so far have three requests for the R-alpha material, and no-one seems
especially interested in the transcripts of the original mission formation.

 *** HOWEVER ***   I'm not sending them yet.  Please wait patiently
 and I'll keep you posted.

As Mark pointed out, I really should send them to him first, to verify
both that he has them, and that I don't accidentally let something slip;
presumably something about some aspect of the game that He and Mike have
chosen to keep.

So, I'm sending him the big chunks of stuff.  What passes muster will
get moved up to sunbane, and I'll let you know.  I'll try to break it up
into small chunks for people who need special overseas delivery.


Happy Ney Year.

The thing about the number 2, like pi and e, giving it such power is that
it is part of a small, conspiratorial, cabal of universal constants that
controls everything.
