PBeM makes sense to me for turn-based games like A&A, but RPGing is so
real-time, it's hard for me to picture how that translates.
BSG had a couple of episodes that focused on the Cylon computer virus,
that made me think, "man, that's just like what I wrote." The difference
was that the Cylon virus came in through the Nav system instead of the IFF
system.
THAT was my mistake in TNE, I didn't use the Nav system, which is much
more plausible. Did BSG get lots of ugly letters about that?
