But IFWW wasn't a pitched battle at all, so who "participated" is a hazy question. Even if it is a Genuine Universal Myth and not a God Learner Stitch Up, as it is, by definition, in each case an individual facing and defeating chaos alone, who would be able to tell, GL theories aside, who was "really" there?

Probably. One could wonder about this sort of thing in other cases too; is Alone in Hell an instance of the IFWW? Discuss. Use only one side of the paper.

Natch.

It's been a while since I was booted out to the CoS, but last time I checked, they were _not_ the Established Church in Scotland. However, they were formerly. Mind you, I think this depends on how you define "established" in any case; the CoS was never Established to anything like the degree to which the CoE still is. (Bishops in the House of Lords, etc.)

Michael C. Morrison attempts to Greg everyone using conflicting definitions of "Greg": ;-) ;-)

Trouble is, none of these seem to cover Greg Gregging people, which is after all the origin of the term, if not its most common use...

Now we need a definition of the corresponding noun (no, not the Proper one...) so that my proposal of maps of Glorantha marked out in Isogregs can work...
