NWR: Strangest WLDG flashback I've had in a long time.

[Randy McCluer]

Stumbled upon this article today http://www.sbnation.com/longform/2013/6/18/4438250/battlebots-robot-wars-combat-oral-history and was shocked to see a familiar name as the villain of the story. I'm sure many of you know about these tales of Plotnicki, but for me, he's just a character from the WLDG days.

If this is old news, sorry for the interruption.

Far be it from me to address (or, God forbid, excuse) any Plotnicki issues, but, while I didn't read the referenced link copiously, I fail to understand how this relates to Steve.

. . . . . . Pete

control F on that page will bring up his name a few times, Pete.

This seems a short version of the book.

Neither copiously (sic) nor carefully, it seems.

His name is mentioned 20 times, and the author clearly means him to be the villain in the narrative. Not that I was a massive fan of Robot Wars, but I certainly watched it occasionally & had no idea that he was involved in it. Especially since its TV run was concurrent with most of my time on WLDG.

Ah, Joe. Guess this is old news after all. Being outside of the coastal groups, I haven't had the privilege of keeping up with everyone as much as I'd like.

"So if things didn't go Steve's way, he spun off his lawyers and carnage ensued."
