OK, maybe I'm nuts, but...

I hereby volunteer to run a small (6-8 person) campaign
using Rolemaster rules, with the following provisos.

1)  The 6-8 people must be in easy mail contact of rabbit.
<This isn't too hard for most>

2)  Everyone must be willing to get a copy of the Rolemaster
rule set (or have access to one), I have no intention of violating
copyright laws by typing it all in. (And I have no intention
of putting up with all that typing, either.)

3) The administration is as follows:
	a)  Over each weekend the DM will post to net
	.games.pbm the results of the last week's move.	
	b)  Each player will have from Monday to Friday 
	to get mail to rabbit!jj, describing their next set
	of actions.
	c)  Players will be informed of each other's mail addresses
	at the beginning of the campaign, and may communicate freely,
	the DM will explain if such is not proper in any given instance.
	d)  Each week will represent a variable length of time in FRP
	terms.  In melee, each week will be (unless something odd happens)
	6 rounds long. <This is roughly 1 minute game time.>
	In non-melee encounters, the time increment will be roughly
	the time between necessary decision points, with a few
	exceptions.   During non-melee, non-encounters, the
	general instructions given for that time by each player
	will guide, and the turn end when something happens,
	or when the players' instructions call for it.

4)  The timetable will be:
	a)  The campaign will start (with the creation of characters
	beginning on that date) on 11/28/83.  First come, first served,
	but PLEASE have Rolemaster Info.  You won't have to be
	experienced, but do have the info.  The names of the players
	(assuming at least 6 volunteer) will be posted on that date,
	or thereabouts.  I will post a number of character stats
	for each person in that note, which can be arranged in
	any way, modified, etc, per Rolemaster rules.  <I will
	provide ONLY the basic STATS.  All else is your choice.>
	b)  One week after that, on Monday, I WILL have received
	the basic character information from each player, and
	I will post the basic scenario.  At this time the play,
	proper, will start, with the first moves being sent to me
	during that week.  All characters will be starting at
	first level.

5)  If there is an outpouring of objections, or there are not
at least 6 players confirmed by 11/28/83, there will be no campaign.

6)  Players who miss moves will continue their previous move, or
tag along in the back, if reasonable.

7)  Non-players are, of course, welcome to follow whatever ensues.
They are requested to refrain from posting opinions and/or comments
on the campaing, and from mailing either the DM or the players
concerning the campaign. (i.e. if you recognize this or that particular
Frammis, keep your trap shut!)

8)  All decisions of the DM will be absolutely final.

Cheers.
