From what I recall, usually someone in each faction keeps track of posts
that involve that faction.  Sometimes someone will do an overall summary of
what's been going on each day.  There's so many different ways of handling
things.  And there's lots of ways to participate and have fun.  You don't
have to be a writer to play.  You don't have to write in order to play.
There's lots of jobs to do, lots of ways to be helpful to your faction and
the other war participants.  The faction leaders are on a list together, so
that helps keep things "organized" and "on track" as much as they can be,
and they let their factions know what help they need in keeping things going.

The point of the wars is to meet and get to know other FK fans.  That said,
IMO, the most important things are 1) to have fun, and 2) to communicate so
that when an attack has occurred the faction or individuals attacked are
made aware of it so that they can respond, thus continuing the fun.

Reading every post written is down around #1228 of Important Things To Do
During War Time, because there's always time AFTER the war to go back and
read the storylines in which you didn't participate.  This has always been
the way of things, and it's not necessarily a bad thing.  Just think of it
as a big party: you're having fun in the living room, other people are
having fun on the patio, still others are burning out the blender in the
kitchen, etc ... you just can't be everywhere at once.  As long as everyone
is having fun and getting to participate in ways that make them happy, then
it's all good.

Limiting the number of posts per person was sufficient in the past, so I'm
sure it will be sufficient again.  Besides, as long as we have a war-veteran
as the War Mistress (or War Master, as the case maybe), war-veteran faction
leaders, Don, and McLisa keeping things going behind the scenes, then
everything will be just fine!

Besides, there hasn't been a decent Jell-O incident at the CN Tower in far
too long, and that alone makes this upcoming war imperative.

I *know* I've asked this before, but I just got a new computer and am
re-finding all my old bookmarks.  Who wrote "The Traveler" and where can I
find it?

Subject: Mel Moser - where are you?

Well, I'm asking again:  is Mel Moser out there?  Or does anyone know
her e-mail address?

I tried contacting her through the address in the Episode Archives; but
no response.  I'd really, really like to get her permission to use a few
of her photos on my website.  Otherwise, I guess I'll have to take them
down before I post the url on the list.  That would be a pity, since
they're nice pictures.  And one of them, in particular, there's no
substitute for:  I don't know anyone else who has that particular shot.

So, please:  if you know how I can contact her, tell me.

Which picture is it? If you could describe it to us, maybe someone does have
it.
