while i welcome more dynamism, as nessie points out we're focusing on this one area in this inner sea. why not virilely create another city near Umam? it would be an exceedingly virile thing to do.

I've never gotten the point of parallel collabs, like... if you're just going to do your thing in your claim then why do it with others? i suspect it's about having people who will read your stuff or something. like read my nanowrimo and i'll read yours circles ?
at any rate,isn't it much more awesome to participate in a collective thingie?
