When Andy Lilly mentioned a 'green virus', I automatically
thoougth that it was a 'money-eating virus' (although canadian
dollars are called loonies, not greens :).
A 'timebomb' virus that wiped out all the electronic money
(and their backups :) in existence makes much more sense to me than a
transponder-transmitted one. It would explain why most of the
high-tech electronic-money-rich world tumbled into chaos.
Has somebody else thougth about this?
Other things: I would switch to the Pre-TNE list and drop the
TML, personally. I've just downloaded 2.3 megs of old TML mail and
after some cleaning, I'm down to about 600 k of data I actually care
about reading. :)
Yes, I am trough whining about TNE... Say guys, how about TNE
Done Right? <ducking>
Personally, I'm a MT fan. I've been playing Traveller for
oh, about 10 years, but I had no access to background material for
the deluxe CT set I had. MT had a rich, complex background... It was
a lot more interesting... So I've been trying to learn everything
about the 3rd Imperium/Rebellion era since then, getting many
headaches in the meantime :). I wouldn't want to drop everything for
TNE. :)
