[spoon-discuss] Re: [Spoon-business] The Daily Recognizer (Wednesday Nite)

["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had several things I wanted to say, none of them worth an entire email, 
but I had enough to warrant putting them all together, and respond to Dave's 
post.  So this email jumps around in subject a lot, sometimes responding to 
parts of Dave's partial recognizer.

Well, it seems that the second part my Library project may do just what you 
need.  Since I find fun in this both in just playing, exploring, creating, 
as well as trying to win, I try to stay abreast of what's happening.  If I 
have a summary of what really happened, combined with analysis, you can look 
at that and see what's going on, and then make a run through the email to 
see the details of the game and make sure I'm accurate.

In my Library project, I stated I wanted to do plain text format, and I also 
wanted reference links.  I have 2 ways to go, after some work done:  I can 
either put the hyperlinks as part of normal text, making them nonexistant in 
plain text format, or I can actually write out the links, which will make 
reading a pain, or I can do this:
If the link is not important, some normal text will be the hyperlink in 
enhanced formats, while the link will be nonexistent in plain text.
If the link is useful, and to the email discuss/business archives or to a 
part of www.nomic.net/~g6, I will write up the first parts of all these 
hyperlinks and put them in one place, and in the text I will do something 
like "Then, Wild Card proposed Societies (#553),...", and say in the main 
section "Whenever there is '(#xxxx)', it means the appropriate link is 
'http://www.nomic.net/~g6/history.php?rn=xxxx'.

Anyone have any preference/ideas?  And no, I don't want to do it different 
for each format, as I am doing this in Microsoft Word and will translate it 
to different formats from there, and don't want to change a million 
hyperlinks as I do it.

That would be the reason behind my big unproposed prop.  I didn't intend it 
to be so massive when I started, but my changes had rippling effects, fixing 
one thing broke another, and I eventually decided to make changes to most of 
the rules.

I considered making one for the announcement for the Library, and making it 
an OrcTech thing, but the Library is more personal to me.  Do you have any 
preference as to whether or not OrcTech makes more press releases?

Wonko never created that, as people are limited to 1 per nweek.

I actually tried to cut through Siren space, so I never performed that move. 
 I either remained in place or got stuck 1 space below where I was, 
depending on how you interpert the rules concerning speeders and sirens and 
multiple changes of location.  So when Wonko tries to ping me, I end up 
nowhere near where bd tossed those bombs.

See above.  But if you really don't want to go through that all again, I'll 
just accept a totaled airspeeder and buy a new one.
