Stupid Forum Statements

== Someone on the Internet is wrong ==
This is a place where Mark Langsdorf can safely rant about idiots on the SJ Games Forums.
;I know more than you do!
:PrinceYyrkoon: It could be that there are two writers working on a book, one for the setting, and another for the mechanics. That, surely, is a simple solution.
:Kromm (SJ Games GURPS Line Editor): As soon as you go from one to two writers, you've roughly doubled the workload. You haven't halved it for anybody. In practice, this is a costly and bad solution most of the time.
:PrinceYyrkoon: A quick look through most rpg supplements reveals more than one author. Its fairly common practice. And, no, you dont (sic) halve the work, but there isnt (sic) any more work involved. Two heads are better than one!
Unless PrinceYyrkoon is secretly John Atlas or some other industry insider, he's an idiot for directly contradicting a game's line editor on the difficulty of multiple authors. Kromm ignored him; I would have (and am, I suppose) told him off.
;A gun and its ammo are different things
:So Pluribus thinks that the Duplicate spell, which can make a copy of any single object you have, should be able to a loaded gun. It's pretty obvious that a gun and its ammo are separate things, just like a car and the gasoline in the tank are separate things. Pluribus says he doesn't want other people's opinions, only errata, so I've dropped off the thread. But he's wrong, I'm right, and his idea is ill-conceived.
:Another example is a bow and arrow: the arrow is clearly separate from the bow. Why this would change for guns I don't know.
