subject: Re:Releasing Files...Traitor

Sysops who care about the game and have their acts halfway together want a
level playing field without either giving away too much information or too
little. There are times you have to have some trust in these people, too.
Most of us have a pretty good financial stake in our servers, and don't
need a bad reputation for changing out edits or doing a poor job of hosting
a game. Hard to believe, but some of us can be honest...

If you are interested in having a game of yours hosted, I will be honored
to host it on either one of my servers - your choice. When I do this for
players, I don't change anything unless I am directed to - all I am doing
is being the conduit for your game.

being posted, or changes 1/2 way into a game.  As a player, I'd want him to
release all the edits at some point if I were playing in the game.  If for
no other reason than to see what I may have missed.

SOB of a sysop.  My stock response to players would be something like:
"Yeah, yeah, yeah...quit yer bitchin', I hear you.  I'll look into
fixing that issue next bang.  In the meantime, LEARN to DEAL with it, or
QUIT, or convince EVERYONE ELSE to QUIT, so I can fix it that much
sooner."  That attitude is just one of the many reasons I don't run my
own TWGS... :D  However, I've been considering asking somone if they'd let
me create a few games on their board...(I just want to create the
settings/mods, not actually sysop them...) just so I could see what people
would do with the kind of edits I've been coming up with lately...)
