Not to worry too much about that 413kByte file. I just finished
stripping mail header info and it's down to 160k or so. Whew!
I am back in the fray, more or less. I'm still a little short on
computer time during the week, but have wangled a domestic agreement
for a little more weekend time. :-) I'll try to keep up with
incoming requests for GM info, but primarily I'm dedicated to getting
turn 10.9 ready. Expect two parts; James wants me to keep individual
postings to less than 45k so internet mailers won't choke, and the
size won't flag his sysadmin's bosses.
While everyone is poring over their mailers, be sure to check your
sub-lists and see that enough of the appropriate people are receiving
copies of your conversations. Remember, with 40 people aboard, the
Alcyon is kind of a small ship, and your conversations have a fairly
high likelihood of being overheard.
Suggestion:
Put two or three people at random onto the CC: list of each of your
mailings - then you won't know exactly which information your character
is going to become privy to, it's importance, or which characters are
privy to your semi-private information. When you become privy to
interesting information, then you can choose whether you wish to share
this info, and with whom.
One other caveat - be sure to put the snoops and busybodies on your
random cc file more often - after all gossips get that way 'cause
they work at overhearing more. Yes, the people you don't want to
know what you say are the ones most likely to overhear it. Tough
SH**! :-)
Actually, this information overlap is going to become important
(yes, this is a slipped-in hint!) so DO IT NOW!
