[QUOTE="gunter uxbridge, post: 1407834, member: 7526"] Aristotle...that reminds me of something similar that happened a while back. MANY years ago, I and a group of my friends played a really enjoyable game of the Star Trek:RPG (back in the old FASA days). It was a one shot deal set on a Galaxy-class ship with me as the XO and my best friend as the Captain. The premise of the game was for us to go out somewhere, saucer separate the ship and duke it out in a wargame (ala Peak Performance...I know, I know...but this was DIFFERENT I tell ya!). I took command of the warp powerless saucer while the CO got all of the weapons and maneuverability in the star drive. We both immediately began to cheat by throwing up sensor ghosts, using personal codes to board each other’s ships, crash each other’s computer cores, you name it. At one point the wargame computer thought I was able to simultaneously launch dozens of volleys of torpedoes at a time. It was a great time, but as so often is the case, horseplay turned to tears and we accidentally beamed a bunch of our crew into space. Back to spacedock we went and the real adventure began. 10 YEARS LATER I am living in a completely different part of the state and talking gaming with someone I had just met. We got on the subject of Star Trek, and he began to relate this very story back to me. Imagine how surprised he was when I finished the story for him and even filled in some parts he got wrong. It turns out he knew a guy who knew the GM from that day. Eerie. [/QUOTE]
