We usually play with jumping disabled, but even when the GM guy sits on a
building, there are many ways to get him (dodging, ST, SW, ...). And after a
few deaths from the GM, I'm sure everyone will go after him, significantly
reducing his survival time  :)

You mean, "is it fair to shoot someone in the back?" I dunno - but it's
definitely more fun to wait for him to turn around, and wait until you think
you'll be visible in his viewscreen. *Then* shoot him 8-)

While this is not very unethical - it is definitely *boring*!... Why would
somebody do that? Either way, there should be SBs and SWs around *some*where...

BTW, what do you think the most ridiculous game situation is? I vote for: two
players only, and one of them has ST...

strategy guide, which I already posted to this list in '98. Unfortunately it's
in German only.
