OMG, the timestamp of death!  And did you say it got posted in the Council Room?  That's an odd choice if I made it.

The GURPS RPG was a licensed official product, wasn't it?  ete was always on about collecting everything -but art mods- and putting it on the Wiki.  Well, I say the kind of stuff you're always tracking down, relevant to SMACX and its history, ought to naturally belong preserved as best you can in that wiki format, as it's part of its mission.

Post in the forum, too, always, or I will mind, mind you.  We are a forum that hosts a wiki, not the other way around.

I've made some edits about custom factions, but I didn't think that the wiki also covered supplementary material like the GURPS RPG.

Looks to be this, found in Building a Community...
I think a game binary that actually integrates messaging and AAR writing, might be a market opportunity for 4X games.  Compared to the typical dev trend of "we'll outsource to Discord".  But, the only person who's going to write that forum integrated 4X game, is me.  And I know very well, all the kinds of work that are needed, that aren't that.  Thing is though, I actually have the modding and AAR background to understand these issues well.

Well, no.  I been a fanboy for way most all of my life and read The Making of Star Trek maybe before you were born.  -If you're less than mid-50s in age.  That wasn't the end of my fanatic study, and I daresay I know my stuff.

No, that was gibberish, though it definitely influenced the sound of what was developed by a real linguist years later - I think it was for The Undiscovered Country?  Possibly as early as Search for Spock.

Also?  I hear Spock's brief conversation w/ Savick in Wrath was not in/consistent with what little has been created of Vulcan/used elsewhere - it must have been Romulan.

* Random quote

The fungus has been Planet's dominant lifeform since about the time of the Lower Paleozoic on Earth. But when, once every hundred million years or so, the neural net at last achieves the critical mass necessary to become sentient, the final metamorphosis kills of most of the other life on the planet. It is possible that we humans can help to break this tragic cycle.
