I wasn't suggesting that the authors of 3rd party scenarios shouldn't contribute to the volunteers series. In fact, they should probably be prepared to defend themselves ;-] . I think that the volunteers' series has been so enjoyable because it comes from someone outside of the original story development. It presents a fresh perspective on things. I realize that spoiler guides serve a different purpose entirely. Even in the case of Tempus Irae, however, I think that there's still a lot to be told in terms of tying the plot into the original Bungie story. I hope that the volunteers' series will continue, and that it will delve into the better 3rd party scenarios. I hope that you in particular, Mark, will continue to make your invaluable contributions - it's amazing to me how much I've missed even after playing each of the Marathons several times. BTW, I would be happy to contribute to a volunteers' effort on Rubicon, although I'd only have time for a few levels a week.
