This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, maybe it's gauche to say so, now that we've learned what a mensch
vizcacha  is in his other life, but does anyone here doubt that Whorl would
be a marvelous game?=20
A hollow asteroid orbiting a planet system where it was supposed to debark
at least 50 years ago. Planned cities set up with armies and "natural"
barriers. The Plan of Pas, the gods, the Trivs, the inhumi (maybe only one
inhumu), the Ayuntamiento, the spies, the Fliers, the tunnels, the cards,
the personality-merges. Our job, as hero, to get our Vironese friends off
the planet....or maybe to keep them here? I want my CD-ROM!!!
