Apparently I hit the one exception.  I signed up for the Baroque Futures
PBeM RPG from your server to lurk on it.  (That's the only one of the
games that appealed to me enough to subscribe to, but the others looked
interesting and well done)  The Victorian era is one of my favourites, and
I was considering joining to play after I had seen what the flavour of the
game was like, since there was very little information on the web site.
In the last two months, the list has consisted of one round of
introductions, one bad attempt (about 30 messages over 3 days) to get off
the list and precious little else.  Where is the GM for that game, and
what is going on?  It sounded good from the blurb, but I have still seen
no activity that would indicate a game.

Well, let's see here.  Your web site, although minimalist (A major plus
in my book!) puts most of the 'professional' companies to shame.  The
Mailing list server is a boon to free gaming, and the worlds you have
presented appear to be well constructed.  I can not speak to the quality
of the games for the above stated reason, but am perfectly willing to
figure that I lucked out and picked the only slow one.  I shall have to
sign up on another one just to check it out.
  I have said it before, and I will say it again.  I consider my main
competition to be Free RPG's.  Your's in particular.  As it is, you give
me a great goal, and that is making sure that Sol III is always improving
and evolving to stay on the cutting edge of PBeM RPG's.  You keep me
honest.
