Hi!
<grin> I jumped the gun on this one. Never fear though, it will all stay
as we have done so far. I mistakenly understood the comments as an index
to change the current format, but that's clearly not the intent.
As for doing things slowly, yes you are right. It's that sometimes I
wish to see things ended to move on to the next phase, but as you point
out, we aren't in a rush, so I'll behave from now on. I just have an
itching to make net epic gold soon, but good things come to those who
wait.
I guess that's what the "net" in net epic means, a collaborative effort,
it may be slow and clunky, but it does make people happy doing it that
way.
As I said before, no worries, nothing will change, onward we go!
Peter
P.S. As Jar pointed out, you need to get all that stuff you guys got to
him, it makes sure it doesn't fall though the cracks, Jar's pretty
thorough.

Hi,
No fear!
I fully understand your point of view! However, I have som comments to
it!
The latest set of rules will always be the "official" NetEpic rules, and
think of the confusion in the future when someone askes a rule related
question... you would have to answer in accordance to the rules version
3.x, 4,x or 5.x... That could prove to be a challenge, althoug maybe a
pleasent one.
Besides, even though many of us choose not to participate activly in
this revision we still would like to have an oportunity to voice our
opinions. This will of course slow down the developeing prosess, but
what is really the hurry.....???? This is after all a labour of love,
and making love is best done patiently over long periods of time..... is
it not :)
Bottom line, efficiency versus satisfying the masses..... I'd normaly go
for efficiency but in this case..... I'm not sure....

Hi!
One note of caution for all members, I don't want this to devolve into a
"version war". Obviously each edition of net epic has its own charm and
each version will have its place and availability. It's more a question
of coordination and use of resources, since Jar and I (and a small group
of interested parties) can finish it much faster than our current snails
pace.
Also, my good friends from the north (Nils and crew), do not think you
have started some nasty landslide. I have been thinking on this for
quite some time and it was actually Darius, from a post long ago, that
got me thinking on this.
Those who have been with net epic for a long time knows, that it is
usually a fraction of our members that actively participate in net
epic's revisions. That is okay, since I view this as a vote of
confidence from most members that they trust us to "do the right" thing
with the game and are content to use what we create and test. With 5.0 I
think the group of active participators is tighter and I wonder if I
should form a small design group to make things efficient.
Opinions?
Peter

Hi all,
I will use most certainly use NetEpic 5, as far as I can see
NetEpic was born from Space Marine 2nd Ed, and has had a gradual
evolution with each version steadily improving. We have had new models
provided to us which with this revision will gain rules, we have cleaned
up a lot of mistyped information, errors and cost anomalies. Without
evolution, games stagnate, I like to face different tactical challenges
when I play NetEpic, in fact when I face units that I have never played
against before it keeps me on my toes...
Chess is the obviously contradiction to my view, it doesn't
evolve it has a static rules system, but EPIC is more than just a test
of logic, it is a whole world, an atmosphere which is reflected in the
fan fiction we get for it. As part of this, new units and updated rules
(not necessarily changed rules, but reworded to make them clearer) are
essential to keep the system alive.
