Subject: BSE: More Questions for RTG

Thad/Pete (strictly OOC)

Is the only effect of drugs now simply morale?  In the pre-85 changeover BSE,
drugs such as Black Lotus were addictive and a colony would suffer an
increased death rate if the drug were stopped.  John J. suggested, and I
agree with him, if now, the only effect of all drugs is a increased morale
while giving them, and morale returning to normal when they stop, that we IMP
leaders should (and will) repeal the drug laws (especially in light of the
need for colonies to have increased morale under the proposed rules) so that
the companies won't be hard up (since IMP gain little or no benefit from
drugs, we gain nothing from a repeal). I'm asking this publicly, because I
think that periphery based players would be interested in the answer.

Phil:

Sure, that's a big part of the concept. The Research colonies will create the
tapes, which they will then <presumably> xfer/sell to production or
specialized production colonies to make use of.

We will still have them, but they will only be for flavor and role playing,
they won't have any teeth <i.e. they won't be used to lomit your actions, but
hopefully the players will role play their affiliations>. In other words, we
will be on the honor system.

We are consideering adding a new item to the game called "Addicts" or
"Addicted Colonists" thgat would be generated by your colony from Colonists
depending on the rate and length of exposure to addictive drugs. Addicts
would, quite obviously, hinder production either by being created in larger
numbers than the birth rate, or act as a drag on morale.

Subject: Re: BSE: Korondite coating

Kevin,

Korondite coating can only be installed at 3 places.  The SSL has 2, the
SMS has the other (SMS Canton, on Utopia).  The coating is identical at all
three sites, just payment arangements differ.  I for instance do not charge
stellars, and allow ores other than korondite to be used for payment.  Jason
has prefered korondite, but like me, will negotiate.  Anyone wishing to coat
their ship with 200 jammers can contact either of us, and we will be more
than willing to negotiate with you.

Clear Space,

Thad,
Would you give a more definative answer?  Whether or not John and I repeal
(IC) the drug laws depends entirely on what their effect will be in the new
system. *IF* they're harmful (have some other effect other than morale
dropping back to normal), than the laws stay as is.  If they're beneign, then
the laws will be repealed.

Subject: BSE: Database

Hey, guys!
        When I joined BSE in '82, I was sent a list that had the name,
address, phone number and positions of every player in the game.  If you
people are interested and will send me the info, I will keep this database and
print it out and mail it to people who need it.  It comes in so handy when
you're dealing with so many characters.
        As for the suggestion about Addicts--I say, yes, of course.  If you
have an item that only enhances morale, with no chance of it coming back later
to bite you on the ass, then you get complacent and there's no challenge--kind
of like the bottomless mines.  I know, I know, bottomless mines are
wonderful--but no challenge.

Thad,

Need I remind you that the current US perception of drug addicts is largely a
result of the prohibition on recreational drug use?  In societies where drug
use is accepted, most addicts (even to "bad boys" like heroin) are productive
members of society.

Be seeing you,
