eek! i hope not. Castle World, in pawel's original inception, is a site to
collect and archive original lego creations in a castle theme. these
creations are described as models, characters, stories.
although things have snowballed fast and furious since then, i believe
this is the original CW charter, and should remain so.
there has been great excitement and enthusiasm since then regarding the
innovate possibilities of interactive participation, which we all seem to
want. the entire approach to wars has been re-defined in order to difuse
competition. nor is CW a role-playing site. intractivity is secondary, and
more along the lines of a writer's workshop.

yes, but countries don't spring up overnight. it's going to be impossible
to start CW with them. the cool thing is we get to form them. this could be
an opportunity you to build your three countries, then show their
unification. (i realize it's starting further back in your history, but just
an idea.)
jeff, you know all of us initially going into this world. do you really
think any of your fellow balladeers would box you in!? ( lol!~ is shiri
going to do it with her island!?)
there is _nothing_ competetive here!
remember the balladeer code, our only rule:
courtesy, cooperation, and creativity
we as your fellow balladeers will do naught but support you in your
kingdom building. what's to keep someone from occuping a realm on the sub
continent you'd require for your creation? balladeer respect. (well, then
there's me & pawel)
later ~ craig~
