Morning Folks:
I've been playing Traveller for about 10 years now, off and on
(mainly off since I can't find many players). I tended to use the
original rules until about 4 months ago when I got Mega-Traveller and
started subscribing to this list. Here, on these pages (pages??)
I learned about the Hard Times Suppliment and the upcomming TNE.
One of the subjects that has been continually mentioned in
passing is that they were thinking of introducing a computer virus
as an explanation for the fall of the Imperium. They, apparently,
decided not to do this to the vast relief of nearly everyone on this
list.
I'm just bloody curious. What were they proposing for this
virus? How was it supposed to work? Why was the list so convinced
that the concept wouldn't work.
If this subject has been bashed to death in the past and
no one in their right mind (which leaves me out, of course) cares to
bring it up again, I would LOVE email for the explanation. I'm just
bloody curious.
Thanks in advance, folks!
