Mordyval makes excellent, and correct points, in response to your very-
well-thought-out questions. I'm afraid that Achaea is unlikely ever to
fulfill your version of roleplaying though, as a text medium has

inherent limitations. Actually, I don't think most people _want_ complete

and total realism. I think, and I hope most players would agree, that it is
acceptable to make some rp sacrifices for the sake of playability. This
is, after all, supposed to be fun, which is why, though you have to eat,

you do not have to drink or go to the bathroom regularly, or spend 1/3 of
your time sleeping, etc. You also never get old and die! Wonderful stuff

if you ask me. In any case, thanks for your comment. It's good to know

some people think so deeply about their role here.


Penned by my hand on the 5th of Daedalan, in the year 198 AF.
