This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Leo KnightOK, I'll display my ignorance. "He+" ? "He++" ? Some sort of Traveller universe classification scheme? I remember seeing something like this over a CoTI, but now I can't find it. My "account does not have sufficient priveledges".

Please explain, please explain, only humans can explain their behavior...

It what I call Traveller geek code, it was developed for the Traveller mailing list I think as a short hand of where one stands on various aspects of Traveller. he=heretic, IMTU=in my Traveller universe, YTU = your Traveler universe, OTU=original Traveller universe.

  he++    The technological devices, social structures, and related

                background material IMTU require careful and detailed

                analysis to prove any link with Traveller whatsoever.

        he+     I'll diverge from canon when someone makes a convincing

                argument, or where canon is clearly broken.




The full wonderful code is here:

Ah, the TML. I remember it well!

It had even less people who actually play the stuff they babble about than The Forge does. All talk, no dice-rolling.

I'd rather be wrong about the game and playing it, than right and not playing it.
