[QUOTE="Centisteed, post: 5544663, member: 6668296"] No apology necessary. It's just that when reading general Internet forums, they are awash in people making jokes. Everybody on the Internet is a comedian. Then I go read our Traveller forum & the jokes continue & the game starts feeling like Spaceballs. And it's not to say your joke wasn't funny. I thought it was. However, the "Spaceballs effect" has been one of the biggest complaints I've read about Traveller that others have ran into when running a game. Basically the suspension of disbelief gets blown away & after that the game is over. My advise would be to keep the game as serious as possible to avoid the comedic pitfall. Or reduce it, say a comic joke after every 10 of your own posts, for example, to space it out. It looks like everyone is getting back into the game though, which is good to read. :) These are all my opinions & viewpoints to take with as you will. I also think Lief is doing just fine with his game. [/QUOTE]
