[War_ooc] John gets to thinking.

[John Penta]

Agree to what? I never stated any opinion either way.

The WRs...On the one hand, they're a bit of a pain for the GM (and
anyone they rope into helping). They take research and no small amount of
discretion. On the other hand, I'm not sure letting players 'define their
own success' is a good idea.
Oh, in addition: Dan, I don't know why, but it's impossible to crop what you
write - could you please try to only quote relevant parts of messages, not
the whole message, in future?
