Boy I dont know who was ruder, Robin or you.
I already know you have a prejudice against PBEM's, and Robin does
have a point about how its not impossible to implement system
resolutions into online role playing games.
Its even possible to take already existing systems like gurps, and to
adjust them for play online adding a few house rules to the mix. So I
say in a sense Robin is not wrong, and in a sense your not either.
When it comes to the issue.
But your both not twelve years old, so do try and respect each other
on my list.
