Many really creative players took part in the Space Campaign from the early days of play by email and the addition of the forum elements in part 3.
There were a lot of heroic moments and some not.
My favorite heroic moment was when President John Doe of the Uloh Free Confederacy took a public lashing to prevent open war and allow both sides to save face without blood shed. He saved the lives of many.
It was a really powerful moment when I read it.
There were also more underhanded moments, like when TerraNovaIndustries tried to change all the passport and government information for Su Maehl.
Su Maehl was a male space pirate who tried to go legit, and with help from the Da uhnb Temporal Empire he eventually earned the title of IR Stockholder.
When he was just running a small shipping company, hired hackers discovered that TerraNovaIndustries had been changing his data to make Su come up officially as a girl. Of course a cursory glance at his junk would let anyone know he was a Boy named Su. But would the IR Brethren soldiers allow him to explain or would they just put him on a one way trip to a penal colony for using a “fake passport”?
What do you think? Was this a fair type of attack or was it underhanded ? Was it appropriate to do? Was it good tactics?
