Yep. BUT ... I think the "Realm Getting" will not be based soley on
ballads. I think it's going to be based on need as well as a committee of
individuals
which will decide which Realms go where and when. I think this will be the
best solution, because while some people might be great storytellers,
others simply like to build. No need to limit the ones that simply build.
A committee will bring balance to CW.

I'm still thinking about what you getting at;)

I am doing some testing on this right now with Jason Catena, and as soon as
we know how it turned out (so far so good) I will publish a little article
on lugnet.castle about it. Expect a lot of pictures and award-winning
commentary about it;)
Dave Eaton and I talked about the future of CW and maybe giving each person
a message board on their member page that could be used to keep
everyone updated on what's going on. We'll do a lot more on that later on
though ...
There is a small update to CW today for those of you that got tired of
checking for them;)

Maybe Pawel and Craig should answer this but I don't mind opening this to discussion (things are slow here anyway...) and I know they're busy... Well, if two people make a mutual story (...)
