Again, I couldn't make the words represent my real thoughts. A quick two-mile
jog and now I'm sorted out again.
What I wanted to convey was that I don't see why there should be a problem. We
discussed this, I think, waaaayyy back; should there be an all-powerful GM (so
named at a later date), or a group of people? We weighed the facts and came up
with a GM as the best solution.
Then the same issue arose as with CW: who administers the website? Who hosts
it? We just volunteered to do what we could. Nobody is expected to do
anything, but here we are with a web of sites (pun intended) about ships,
sectors, rules, and comms. Perhaps .castle is entering the Dark Ages...
I'm seeing a superb idea sit and rot while people argue about
I-can't-figure-out-what. That frustrates me. I want to build castle MOCs and
post them, but somehow I don't feel comfortable doing that in the main .castle
group. If there was a castle game, however, I would feel comfortable building,
posting, and receiving (constructive) criticism from a smaller group of friends.

Exactly. See above.

I see your point. But why can't it be given a try? We all agreed that if
something didn't work out, it could be changed at a later date. I'm not trying
to impose my ideas on CW, but I sure wish they'd consider some of them.

Yeah, I think that's what we'll have to do. I'd be perfectly willing to help
start off a castle version of Starship, but I'd need help. For one thing,
certain procedures might not work as well with castle as with space settings.
Another--it would be hard to keep track of all the towns and stations a player
might choose to build. How would such things be managed?
Well, these are questions for the daylight hours. Again I say, comments and
ideas! Let me know if you are interested in a castle game, because I AM!!!!
