I could engage this conversation on an intellectual level but I'm extremely hungover, so I'll just say this: Wilson is aiming for an RP in which several nations are making contact as fledgling FTL races if I understand correctly. Myself and some others felt the need to point out what we thought were errors in the RP structure, in an attempt to help. You simply cannot, aggressively tell a GM to change their setting though. Science - [i]fiction[/i] If he wanted ftl tech based on clockwork who's to tell him no? Equally, Wilson I think you may have taken the criticism a bit badly.# I'm off to hydrate.
