Musing is fun:)

Agreed ...

We gave this some thought, and this is what we came up with this grid system:
X O X C X
O X P X F
X O X S X
C - Craig's Realm
P - Pawel's Realm
F - Frank's Realm
S - Shiri's Realm
X - Neutral Zone
The Neutral zone is exactly that - noone can build there, but anyone can go
there. Over there, pretty much anything goes.

The center of the universe is an enigma:) We do need a central place for
people to gather and discuss what is happening ... good idea. Anyone up for
building such a sacred place? I envision a huge cathedral or other such
ruin ... a simple castle won't do:)

It's all fun and games - all stories are agreed upon by both parties before
they are submited. No plans for waring as of yet.
