Good gentles,
  I was going to stay out of this, since I am fairly new to the Game.  I have
some feelings about changing things when I haven't got them all figure out, but
I do have some thoughts.  My understanding is that this idea came up from some
group of people, yet unkown, and that the crown is not publicly leaning one
way or the other.  It is the populaces discision.  If we don't want it, it won't
happen.  It's also, not something that will happen over night.  If you don't or
do want it, vote that way.  
  I was thinking that this would give us a chance to build as those of you
who were here in the early days built Ansteorra.  I'm still thinking about this
and as yet have not made my dicision as to how to vote.  It has got everyone's
attention though.
