How about a Scourge of Broos, or a Trouble of Broos?
Gloranthan Sports:
It seems to me villages cannot support the big team sports of which many people speak. I think wrestling would be popular, and also skill contests relating to local jobs, such as smithing, lumberjacking, and herd raiding.
Additionally, in any society which spends 90+% of its time trying to keep themselves alive (Nomads in the Wastes, the RQ 2 Balazarlings), these contests would occur only during special events, such as Sacred Time celebrations. When one spends all one's time trying to get enough to eat, games don't seem very important.
RQ:AiG:
I would like to ask people to _stop_ speculating on the whys and where- fores until Greg has a chance to tell the RQ Daily world his side. Thoughts about how RQ will die without RQ:AiG seem premature. In fact, from what I have read, RQ:AiG may still be published, albeit after some changes.
I see a lot of intense emotion in some of the messages and ask people to give themselves (and others) a chance to calm down before continuing the debate.
