Re: Something else

[Wright Frazier <khelek@ns1.cioe.com>]

Actually, there still are 2 other settings. Centralia and Atilla, both
are significantly higher power level than what Geleia is magic item
wise.

The majority of the BIG people run in those two settings, or are 
based out of there.  Ezra, Difuge, Karl, etc..  There certainly
are some that run in Rougtero as their home, or near it as the
case may be.  But when ya say its gonna be only your problem to
deal with'em, I disagree.  Noone has said that Centralia will
stop, nor have they said that Atilla will stop.  And as I said,
those are games with a much higher power level than what is
intended in geleia.

*shrug* Adventure dryes up except for a few in Lojem, folks move on.
May be to Geleia, may be to Atilla, may be to Centralia, heck, may
be to JTP's place.  I don't think it'll be a problem you are left without
a chair on. 

Just as an example, Greg has stated that he doesn't want to bring his
2 big chars over to Geleia.  Dom will stay in/around Rougtero/Centralia
cause his businesses and other things are there.  Erica much the same.
If he wants to bring'em over, thats fine, if not, then there is
no forcing him to, cause other folks WILL continue to run in those
other two settings, just may be not as often.

I think the main point is not a Lojem clearance of adventurers, people
have roots, and the initial concept to force everyone out was not
a good one.  Some will stay, some will go, but as I said, we shouldn't
force people to stay or to go, despite my personal preferences.
All I can do is say that when I'm running, please don't bring character
X on my adventure.
