Re: [Cplp-dev] An idea for a game

[Thomas S. <Tho...@ms...>]

Something we might want to consider as well if we go this way (PM based e=
nvironment) is to ask Wombat on Perlmonks for some of his ideas. He at on=
e point was considering running a PM Role-Playing Game.

And since everyone else has introduced themselves, allow me to do so:

My name is Thomas Stanley, also known as TStanley on Perlmonks, and my no=
rmal job is that of a Unix administrator. However, at the moment I am act=
ually part of the U.S. Air Force since I was activated back in April. At =
my Air Force Base, I can get my hands on a Linux server to do some develo=
pment, and at home (I travel to and from on my days off) I can access bot=
h Windows and Linux.

Absolutely, this would be a separate server/system, perlmonks is =20
bogged down enough without gamers using up more valuable bandwidth. I =20
believe where we are heading with this is a PM theme... though I =20
could be wrong.

Anyway its great to see so many ideas getting thrown around, lets keep it=
 up.
