Quote:A deeper analysis of this story shows it to be quite plausible. Given the character and scope provided by the early pioneers of Fenspace, the apocryphal 'run a business case analysis for Ninjaburger in space', which was caused by the legendary abandonment of the game 'due to fact being sufficiently weirder than fiction', all holds true, or at least possible.
The most common story is that during one of the long, tedious asteroid-mining jobs in the first year or so after Handwavium turned up, one of the miners ran a Ninjaburger campaign for his or her co-workers that had their characters ranging around a drastically implausible solar system delivering fast food to an even more ridiculous assortment of customers (probably not as zany as the reality of Fenspace).
The early members of Fenspace were the type of people that could and would run an accurate business analysis out of boredom or for fun - and it's certainly possible to create a Ninjaburger In Space campaign that is less interesting than what was actually in existance at the time.
Myth Plausible.
