[Ansteorra] How to help the West

[HE Chiang]

  The people of the groups that will be folding in with Trelac, are the 
working members and the core of the groups that were folded. They are or 
were the people getting the jobs done. By folding in with Trelac, it makes 
the reporting less tedious for all concerned. It will give the smaller 
groups some time to rest up from being officers and give Trelac a bigger 
officer pool.
  The biggest problem will be the distances involved in keeping groups 
involved with each other and working towards common goals. The second 
problem will be how to keep some of them still playing. For Trelac it will 
mean some way of keeping 3 - 4 former groups from just fading away.
