On new colonies...

There is much talk on forums regarding a new colony for scotland. Many of the most active and experienced governmental type characters are queueing up to go and set up utopia. If they all left right now that could be a problem for us.

Why?

Most of Clan MacTavish were either born here (IG) or migrated as low level 1s. We are not quite ready to step into the roles of level2dom, so we will notice the departure of many valued members of our community. I don't primarily see clans in political economic terms, but do take note of structural factors when they threaten the well being of most of our members.

We would face an influx of new characters, including organised groups of migrants with their own visions and plans for our country. This could lead to interesting Role Play, but it could also lead to us being subject to takeover by organised political factions that are not tied to our evolving system of clan and country and who seek to run us for their own (perhaps wider) agendas.

I think, therefore, that a delay of another month or two would be to the advantage of Clan MacTavish.

That's my view, and I have let it be known in Highlands Hall.

I am also pleased to hear that some of us are prepared to join any new colonies that might be formed.
