Bu why can't a computer-moderated game be an RPG? After all, you play a role
in any type of PB(E)M game, hand-mod or computer-mod. Unless, of course, you
are a medieval king, intergalactic emperor, warlord, brave adventurer or
whatever in real life too... =%-P I have played both, but I just happen to
prefer computer-moderated games. They allow more structure and depth (i.e.
complexity) in a game, and computer-moderated games are larger and contain
more players. I don't see the old SuperNova II game being hand-moderated...
=%-)) Anyway, to each man his own. For me, it's computer-moderated games every
time, but they have their advantages and disadvantages, just like
hand-moderated games.

Grtnx, Alex.
