here is my note for what i hope to get out of this:
i hope all involved in this game are interested in keeping it going for a while. it is a fact of life that sometimes all of us will be on sabbatical from the net. (and so it should be). but i hope we can conduct this game in a smooth way... that is... if comeone will not be posting for a while (trip, vacation, whatever)... they will tell people.
the main problem with the net is a lack of accountability.
maybe that is too harsh... the net is what it is... a shared hallucination. in games i have played in the past online it has often been the case that one person disappears and the rest are left hanging... i hope this doesn't happen. (this has nothing to do with anything so far... just my fears....)
i am in hong kong, and will be active, most likely, at different hours than the rest of you... weekends are not good for postings... i make most of my contributions during work hours (haha)... that is 8pm-4am EST (at least until daylight savings comes again...)
anyway, i look forward to having a fun diversion with the rest of you. my only request is notification of long absences
(this request cannot always be accomidated and i will probably be the first person to violate my request... har har...)
anyway, don't take anything to seriously....
game on...
