ADMIN: Please read the miniFAQ or FAQ before posting. This group is
       unmoderated and we want to keep it that way. Advertising and 
       information requests for Gamers should be posted to the 
       rec.games.frp.xxx hierarchy of groups. If it is APD-I related
       then please at least affix an ADMIN: prefix to the subject line.

       Please see below how inappropriate posting affects the group.


While ...sage was sipping his white russian at Luthor's place, watching
the party gather momentum, he had cause to reflect of the strange going
ons that had occurred around Generica recently.

Extraplanar creatures advertising their wares in bright neon letters
across the sky, and intruding themselves into the lives of all Genericans
by indiscriminate use of public information points.

...sage shook his head, even the gods know to use an ADMIN: prefix when 
they deign to enlighten the inhabitants of Nexus.

And as for the content of some of these messages; what possible interest
could they be to the populace of a world such as this. They gods
themselves may be interested, but surely they would have other means of
contacting each other.

He had heard of a mystical plane called "rec.games.frp" wherein existed
a number of countries ".dnd", ".announce", ".marketplace" and more, that
it was said many gods spent a great deal of time.

While Generica was a place of wonder and excitement, that excitement was
something that existed for the inhabitants, and drew the gods to watch
from on high.

If we can learn not to meddle in their affairs, he mused, why can't they
learn not to meddle in ours.

Taking another sip, ...sage decided that he had better things to think
about than metaphysics and theological impudence. This was the time for
celebrations. A time for the Party!
