All right, the biggie first. Rule 12... well, as a guideline sure. It's something that everyone has been making an effort to follow once they understood the gist of it. But... trying to balance between quirks and Cool Stuff is tricky. How do people other than the author define where the balance point is? How do you know how much a quirk is going to affect their life? Also, with some exceptions, most of us are tending towards a much more moderate level of CS; the Prof is an easily notable example, but going along with that... well, do I need to explain?
Basicially it's just a matter of how it's used, it sorta seems. Are they guidelines, or things to beat people over the head with?
Rule 5, I think I could be called at least partially responsible for coming into being. I dunno, that was my take on it at least, and partially I was proposing a general principle of the Reavers acknowledging the difficulties of cracking 'wavium hulls at range and instead having to close with larger (therefore slower) craft and make holes at pointblank range before boarding. But I was just proposing the thing, y'know?
The rest I don't know that I have problems with really, though maybe more discussion in general would be good. Also, again, questions of how they're all going to be used.
