It's The Community Stupid, Part Duex

Totally agree with your comments, Boss, but . . .

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but once built . . . not like we can wander off and build another one . . .nor would it be the same. Communities are very similar, in my estimation . . . which is preformed with an abacus that a six year old painted all the beads blue. New communities form and old ones die, but never do they rebuild themselves the same.

My point, sharpened by a dulled wit, is that is the community that matters. Yeah, we can all dance and joke while waiting for a Zepher [Can’t believe you’re a gods-damned hordie!] We can form groups and guilds from such simple starts, but . . .that does not form a community.

Communities come from conflict and compromise. They come from characters and care-takers. And like Rome . . . they are not built overnight. They are the work of people, not players. They are the work of politics, not programmed responses.

Community . . . unlike Camelot . . . is not JUST a model!
