Anyhow, I'd say it would be more accurate to state it like this: GM: <see above> Joe Roleplay: Acht! T'is the most gruesome thing I've seen since my encounter with the undead beholder oh so long ago! Friend Cleric - call upon your god to help us in this time of need! John Ruleplay: I don't have any more protection from evils mem'ed, dude. I told you we should have spent another night camped outside before we came in. Since ruleplayers delight in intense knowledge of the 'system', I hardly think they would get caught thumbing through a rulebook in the midst of gameplay. Possibly the best analogy would be a thespian for the roleplayer and a retired army general for the ruleplayer. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="01446" HREF="msg01446.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The Difference between..</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Jeff Kesselman <jeffk#tenetwork,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="01433" HREF="msg01433.html">The Difference between..</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Jeff Kesselman <jeffk#tenetwork,com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01441.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] RP=MUSH/PG=MUD</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01443.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] RP=MUSH/PG=MUD</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01433.html">The Difference between..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01446.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The Difference between..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#01442"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#01442"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] Supporting RP+PG</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="01617" HREF="msg01617.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Supporting RP+PG</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Tue 01 Jul 1997, 05:59 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01628" HREF="msg01628.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Supporting RP+PG</A></strong>, Huibai <a href="mailto:ashen#pixi,com">ashen#pixi,com</a>, Tue 01 Jul 1997, 11:25 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01435" HREF="msg01435.html">Neighborhoods (was room-based v coord-based)</A></strong>, S001GMU <a href="mailto:S001GMU#nova,wright.edu">S001GMU#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 23 Jun 1997, 05:38 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="01433" HREF="msg01433.html">The Difference between..</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Mon 23 Jun 1997, 02:55 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01442" HREF="msg01442.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The Difference between..</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:nightfall#user1,inficad.com">nightfall#user1,inficad.com</a>, Mon 23 Jun 1997, 10:37 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01446" HREF="msg01446.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The Difference between..</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Mon 23 Jun 1997, 11:49 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01611" HREF="msg01611.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The Difference between..</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Tue 01 Jul 1997, 03:58 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01431" HREF="msg01431.html">Re:</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Mon 23 Jun 1997, 02:38 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01453" HREF="msg01453.html">Pen-and-paper and Computer-based systems</A></strong>, Alex Oren <a href="mailto:alexo#bigfoot,com">alexo#bigfoot,com</a>, Mon 23 Jun 1997, 18:50 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
