Road runners are all gone. Why?
Something from another thread gave me the idea for this one. I think most would agree the days of hundreds, if not thousands of players out on the road, scuffling. are over. Some of the most exciting, and even dangerous times in my life were out there, traveling from room to room, steered here, steered there, up alot of nights, sometimes sleeping in the day, busting people, going bust... Nothing I've ever done in my life really compares to that time. I learned a lot of things. Never take your cue in. Always be from the last town, 50 miles back down the road. Never look at the players when you walk in. NEVER chase your own money. And always... ALWAYS, have a c-note stuck under the floor mat in the car, so you can get home if you go bust.
That's all gone, now. Ok, yeah, there's a few road runners left. And, to me, those few deserve a medal. With everything they have to fade? I have two words for road runners these days. "Good luck".
Why did this happen? What killed the action? I *know* there's a zillion opinions out there. Feel free to wade right in. And, again, if this has been covered here prior ( odds are it has ), my apologies, I wasn't aware.
