In Response To: Re: Further Compromisation *PIC* (Archer »–)›)

Personally i think there are some things in GURPS that are part of the design docs and therefore canon; BUT because we cannot point these things out from the hilarious speculation and other non-canon, we just have to sit here and determine it's contents as debatable, but deutero-canon.

and by that I mean a second, but lesser canon; ready, willing, and able to be refuted by the Games and Manuals and disregarded from that point on like a used piece of tiolet paper.

but until then, I personally can assume, like archer proposed, that the material therein is a *second* canon, a pseudo-canon of sorts.

but don't ask sili to accept this, his views appear to be far different on the 'wavering' of platforms when in fact it is the simple modification of details and interpretations, not the platform of personal law itself.

besides, sili, you're insufferable ;^D [just to prevent that comment from coming back to bite me in the ass: it was a joke] :D

NOTE THIS: even if we did have the actual design docs, right there on our screens in all their unedited, 100% canonical glory, we'd *still* argue because our *personal interpretations* of that very material would differ, just as our interpretations differ on the matters of in-game string lists, the narrations, etc. and so forth.

and on that, my friends, you *must* agree ;P
