Adam's case is overstated. I have seen mighty AR empires in slow tech games. With the benefit of no AccBBS, a skilled AR player can do just fine. The kvetches about WM and SS are largely without merit, as the prescribed scrapping does not favor any PRT over another. Also, Con is much more important for unlocking WM potential, while Prop can be integral for SS growth and security; they stand to benefit from scrap as much as anyone (except AR maybe). My PRT is host.
