Yes, The Ford knows that all of you ancient kiddies out there have had the nagging feeling in the back of your little cabezas: "Whatever happened to that intriguing-sounding plug from that Ford / Karrde fellow...something about...chilled organisms...". And just to put to rest any silly little optimistic hopes you might have had, Frosty the Snow Entity as a plug-in to any Escape Velocity incarnation is officially deader than JFK Jr. The plug-in that has been re-invented approximately seven times is kaput. Reg, wherever you are, you're right. Never ph33r, however, for the concept of Frosty lives on in novel-form, for a book or series of book that will never be written and likely never be published. Like all writers completely infatuated with their own ideas, Ford is currently working on a massive centuries-long backstory that originally began as a skeletal timeline that has caused him to forget half of what the plot for the actual story is about. Woo. But, Frosty, the plug-in, is dead. Goodbye, world.

**** and **** and ****! I was looking forward to that plug. As the saying goes, "excrement occurs."

Heh, I had no idea Frosty was alive in any form after a HD crash killed the plug in the DiscBoard era. Too bad it never made it.....good to see you still hang out a bit though, kaarde/Ford.
