Oh really? Well it wasn't entirely bad, but it's your
game & I wasn't really grooving to it towards the
start of June. It lost its momentum & I couldn't
bring myself to come back to it. The lack of replies
& the long times it took to see an update helped
to lose interest. When you went on vacation, I reached
a point where I no longer cared & put my eye out
for other games.

Plus it seemed you were railroading a bit. I came
up with a plan (breaking & entering some area),
somebody agreed to it, & you shot it down. So it's
like "why am I here?". That was the slightly
ridiculous part I was referring to. Also the comedic
comments didn't fit the realism that I would expect
in a Traveller game & broke suspension of disbelief.
I believe I mentioned this once or twice. Everything
I've heard about Traveller from other users points to
it breaking down once the comedy sets in. It definitely
felt that way.

I didn't want to get ugly, so I just left it at that. Anyway,
that's my constructive criticism of that game. Perhaps
you'll do better with it here. I really wish we had some
true Traveller grognards out there that would run a
pbp game. I've read a ton of science fiction & feel I
could jump into doing it, had I the time. Perhaps one
day (trying to learn Chinese right now :/).
