Talk:The Morrow Project

untitled
The link you have given is a RPG fan page that listed the first paragraph of the description of The Morrow Project in his discussion about the imagninary vehicle he built to use in a TMP or GRUPS game.

I am the copyright holder of The original website that paragraph was taken from.

Again it is a general description of the game. We often put it in advertising materails. We also use it as a standard explanation of the game when people ask.

I still don't understand what you are objecting to.

This article and its content is currently being discussed at the Village Pump. &mdash;Frecklefoot 16:44, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I believe this page is now relatively stable. It is not listed on VfD and the copyright holder has said he does not object to the quotation of the text from his website, which he himself added. However the page still reads a little bit like an ad, and the website text has not been formally released into the public domain (as far as I am aware). I suggest a rework and/or paraphrasing of the existing text (by the original author, or not) would remove any lingering doubts. Please don't bite the newbies. Anjouli 18:26, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Recondo?
The heavy Recon teams are called Recondo(Recon-Commando) right? --Theredstarswl 20:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Recondo? answer
I don't know about that. In real life, the U. S. Army did sometimes use the word "recondo," especially in Vietnam, but this was an American military slang term meaning: "the art of an American conducting recon and patrol in the jungle, while thinking and behaving as if he were using an Asian martial arts style" -- 'do' means 'way' or 'art' in Japanese. On the one hand, the word was a kind of joke and play on words, while on the other hand it was not a joke at all. I don't know that it has anything to do with combinig the word recconissance with the word commando.

Game history
This section seems to be both short and incomplete.

The hyperlink to Robert Sadler is wrong; it links to a Wikipedia page about an Australian politician who died in the 1920s.

Confusion over 4th and "4th" editions
So, in 2013 Christopher Morrell and Robert O'Connor produced the 4th edition rules for this game, as you can see here:

Chris and Tammy Garland bought out Timeline Ltd. in 2017, and in 2020 Chris started a Kickstarter to produce a (second?) "4th Edition" rules (i.e. technically 5th edition). This version was never printed/produced/released. 137.244.82.100 (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
