I was very, very uncomfortable in that game.
It was okay, up to a point... but the situation got to where our space
ship was about to crash into the stadium or something, and people were
yelling at me (the pilot), "jump, jump" and I didn't understand where
I was jumping _to_ or how that was supposed to save my life. Everyone
else had a grasp of where we were and what was happening, and why
jumping was going to save my life (I was the only one on the ship)...
but I'd gotten lost and was very confused and had people shouting at
me. I couldn't even make myself be heard, and nobody was about to
slow down and let me get an understanding of what was going on.
I was extremely stressed and left that game feeling horrible. I can't
even remember what I _did_, besides yell at Karen and get her pissed
off at me. (She was supposed to recognize that I was in distress, not
join in with the others yelling at me.)
Geesh, just trying to remember the details of the event has left me
feeling like crap.

I like PBeM... I just don't want the players saving up the "good
stuff" for email and using that as their outlet. I want this stuff to
happen _in the game_ not in email. Fastlane's "we need to be a team"
speech would have been great in person. We're not going to get
comfortable with this stuff if we sit back and are afraid to engage in
roleplay, and then go post 500-word messages about what our characters
say in email.
And I don't have time to run a PBeM in addition to the live game.
