Nope, not a GM, and the couple of folks who have already moved
	that are GM's are just laying low and going native.

The wording of the vote was:
	"Firearms, yes/no?" 
	That is how it was written up on the board, and only 1 voting
	issue delt with settings, otherwise it was global.  The 1 was
	whether to a: stick with Lojem. b: new setting of Geleia. or
	c: something else.  That was voted to be Geleia obviously.
	The vote on firearms as a resounding no as well, being about 11
	to 1 in disfavor of firearms period.
