Don't be too hard on yourself Mnemo... RL surely intervenes every once in a while and you did spectacularly.

I was using some comments made of this game only to refer to a more wider issue about ww-narrations in general. I mean I know there are actually two "schools" on this: those who want to follow the events in the game loyally (even to the extent that they use actual quotations from the game in the narrations) and those who have literary - or other - ideas and then fill in the players as they see fit - if they see them fit. (And I have probably done both as a mod even if I'd say I mainly belong to the first "school".)

That was actually the issue I wished to stir some discussion over but seemingly it's a turn-off subject.

Ah, but I'm a perfectionist fanfic writer so of course I'm going to focus on the literary merits of narrations, especially my own. *grin*

When you put it the way you did (the schools of thought) I'm not sure where I'd fall. As a writer I do like having more control over the situation but you can't control people or their actions.

I'd like to see more talk on the subject as well but currently it looks as if all eyes are on the new game--which is as it should be!
