I'm with Scape: you might want to burn the couch. ^_~

(Why do I feel like this couch also exists in the HQ Lounge? ... July, did you steal the couch from the HQ Lounge?)

I went very quiet for about two years back in '09-'10. People do it, for all sorts of reasons. (Sorry to hear about the blindness thing, that sucks.)

We don't normally take back PG hats - people who haven't been here for over a decade still have them, technically! Besides, they're custom-fitted, so we'd rather just sew new ones for new PGs. ;)

... I'm happy to update the maps to include it. What I've said is that the discord is primarily centred on the city itself, with factions spinning up around it.

If I can offer a suggestion: it was decided that 'PPC Lounge' would describe whatever the current chat happens to be. How about establishing La Wunj as a city-state, with hinterlands extending up the Bravneits and down the Chuneils? You could have the factions carving out bits of the landscape for themselves, or co-existing in blissful harmony under the enlightened rule of the Mords - or cutting lines through the city itself, if you wanted.

You'd want to pick a name for the nation. "The City-State of La Wunj" would be simple, obviously, but it doesn't explicitly reference the name Discord. I don't have any particular ideas.

I'll work up a split map to show both halves of Thanasius' holdings; shouldn't take long.

You're right that we don't need new PGs for the workload, but like I say, we didn't when you were chosen, either. You, Ix, and PC were elected because it was deemed unfair that 'Permission Giver' was a title/responsibility/trust only given to super old people; we wanted to open it up to the newer members of the PPC. If the new newer people feel the same way, then it would be perfectly legitimate to add a couple more.
