Opinion.

Ok, my last post was terse to the point of rude. I over-reacted to being branded a "yes-man" for liking (my opinion) something. Sorry.

CM.

PS.

The earth is round.
Space is big.
Stars are hot.

vs.

The earth is good.
Space is boring.
Stars are elegant.

See it yet?

All righty then,

It's time to get down with serious discussion and another vote or two.

There are currently 4 proposals out there.
We (as a community) need to look at them, do the final discussions of them, have the authors perform the "final" rewrites and then a final "vote" on the "revised" proposals. Until the last week or so there had not been any substantial discussion on this topic and I, for one, found the recent discussion refreshing as far as people actually showing interest in the product.

So lets take the next week to 10 days to "fine tune" the discussion and then I will go to the "authors" for a "final" revision prior to posting for a vote.

I am holding firm to the guidelines I posted on content/structure for this, especially seeing how the recently generated polls confirm my assumption that people "preferred" having variants to accomofate both random and planned development systems.

So the "bar" is open. Pull up a chair, have a ([_] and start typing. Well structured and thought out comments generally carry more "weight" with the community than do comments like "I like it", "It sucks", "I use my own system", etc.

What about well structured and thought out comments about why I use my
own system? ;)

Use the non-playtest comment forum. ;) They are usually very interesting discussions, although I have yet to have seen anyone's "complete" home rules. I've only seen portions and snippets, which makes it very hard to really understand what people are talking about or how how things work together in their home-brewed systems.

And yes, I got the humor in your message - so please read the humor in mine too.

I do not post using the forums, but using email. I am not entirely sure
which forums I am inadvertantly "posting" on by replying to messages I
see in my inbox.

Perhaps I`ll just avoid rule discussions entirely to be safe.

That's one of the reasons I suggested using the topic title. If it's got a topic of playtest version along with a chapter number it makes it a little easier to see if it is in application to the BRCS or is a general discussion topic. We can move threads around on the net but can't move specific posts to match the more appropriate thread currently though so no matter what there will be some confusion introduced. I think if we try to use the topic titles it will greatly help on this one.

Please don't stop discussions of home-rules since they are very interesting to many people. They just may not be related to the generation of the BRCS.:)

Since it looks like Arjan has most of the bugs out of the net now, it is time to "decide" which way to proceed for bloodline score. There are 4 proposals on the table. The link is here

http://www.tuarhievel.org/Blood%20Score%20...sals%205-15.zip

This Saturday I'm going to post a poll to quantify which way we should proceed.

Last time for comments/discussion on these 4 proposals.
