	Not to jump into this argument, but just a point to ponder: you're
talking about an alien race imposing on us -- perhaps if there is no common
means of communication they *would* view us as ants, i.e. figure us for
non-sentient.  After all, you've never really been an ant, how do you know
they're non-sentient.  Its really an assumption (backed up by circumstancial
evidence based on *our* experience, e.g. ants don't build airplanes or use
other technology).  But in the same respect, if the technology of an alien
race is sufficiently advanced, perhaps we would look as if we're not using
technology.
	Of course, if there is no common ground of communication, morality
is a moot consideration anyway.

Well, no. A skiltaire can generate enough to knock a single individual
of most species out on contact. They also have extremely long range
telepathic abilities (on the order of 10s of AUs).

I don't see that in Other Suns. In fact they only have 2D6+6 CON and a 13
hit point bonus. If people are claiming otherwise they're not playing
skiltaire. They're depending on the fact that other people on FurryMUCK
aren't familiar with Other Suns to powergame.

One hopes one of the Shaperos will comment further.

Oh well, at least this got me to pull Other Suns out of my closet...

OK first off the way the free artwork thing got started was at Furry 
parties, between artists.
One Artist would try his hand at drawing anothers artists character, and 
them giving the second artist the sketch they did.
Or they would exchange sketches to learn how the other would draw 
something..  working out small details with each other..
 
Soon it was learned that free art work could be had by attending these 
parties, so Fanboys (as they as refured to by artists) started showing up 
at the parties, with there Blackbooks, and would ask how to draw..
The artist, willing to help out a possiable artist, would do a sketch in 
his book to show him how he would go about drawing this or that..
 
From there, it exploded into the mess there is today.
The artist get tired of haveing these Blackbooks being shoved at them, 
being trapped for the run of a con, drawing at a table..
For a bunch of people who are just out to get as many Pics. as possiable 
durning the con,  returning nothing to the Artist, except maybe a brief 
thanks befor running off to the next artist on his list.
 
Now I don't concitter myself to be an Artist,  I just sort of Hack out 
stuff that can be recognized as the furry critter it is sopposed to be.
durning ConFURance 2  (i was asked to do one book)
Durning ConFURance 3 (this number went to 15!) for someone who draws 
poorly..  but i am getting better..
I was admazed by this.. that people were so frienzied to get sketches, 
that they would just throw there books at anyone who would draw in them!
And I got a good first hand look at what the really good artist's must be 
going through.  and i don't blame them for not wanting too deal with this 
anymore..
 
remember this started as a way for artist to exchange ideas, styles, or 
helping each other work out a problem with whatever they tring to draw.
 
But it was still nice to know that someone wanted my artwork..

The Funny Times, P.O. Box 18530, Cleveland Hts., OH  44118.  Cost is
U.S. $17.50 for a year, $28.50 for two years; foreign subs add $10/year.

With at least three DB columns per issue, Comic Relief is clearly the 
better deal if you just want Dave Barry, but The Funny Times is a nice
publication also.  Like Comic Relief, it specializes in humor columnists
and cartoons -- but it's smaller, carrying fewer editorial cartoons than 
CR, and fewer mainstream strips.  The Funny Times is published in 
newspaper tabloid format and averages around 24 pages an issue.

Their October 1989 issue, which includes an interview with Dave Barry, is
listed as available at $2.50 (including postage) from the address above.

I have no affiliation with The Funny Times except as a subscriber.

I'm surprised Dave hasn't done an article on this story.  Craig Shergold
has miraculously gotten better, broken the world record long ago and has
subsequently caused Guiness to remove this category from its tabulations.

Hello,

Can't believe no one from my school has posted here yet, but Dave Barry came to
Utah State University last week to speceak. Pretty cool, normal, calm gu Comes
off a little different than he does in his writing -- more, well, more normal.
The student who is in charge of promoting our arts and entertainment is a
friend of mine, so I got to go to both the press conference before Dave's
comments, and went to lunch with him and about five other people afterwards.
Sort of a day with Dave, if you will. 

He said he likes going to universities to speak because he knows every person
there is in attendance because they like his work (as opposed to business
seminars where the audience is more or less captive). He also mentioned that he
does about six such engagements per year, and if I am not mistaken, he cost my
school $2000 plus expenses.

If you have any questions (yeah, right, I am the Dave expert now..), I'd be
happy to talk with you. I am not registered for this group, but you can contact
me in e-mail.

I also work for the school paper, and can get glossies of Dave at USU for $5
plus postage (I'm not making anything there, so don't get your shorts in a
knot).
