New dynamic to game???

As was stated in the event's highlights thread, with the new land forums, clans, and other storylines now coming in... from my limited perspective, a possibly cool, new dynamic has entered the game.  Politics.  I hate real-life politics and such... but for this game, the desire to improve your own faction can be a great game motivator.  There are of course the drawbacks.  So folks... lets open up, talk about this, and remember let's be open minded and all of this is friendly.

You get more than two people together, you're going to get some kind of politics.  I think theres already some amount of politicking going on IG, from trying to embarrass someone at feast to spreading ill rumors about someone, and to me thats a -Major- part of any LARP.   

I like the idea that being in favor at court might confine some kind of IG bonus (ex. an allowance of gold given to members of a certain faction at the beginning of each event) But ultimately thats up to the Director.  The idea that certain clans and factions might get to vie for limited resources -is- a really cool idea and something that would add a new social level to the game.

When I started in '04, I was informed that if you had fifteen people declare in game they are following a new god, after a certain time and active worship, it became a real god. Brazan kind of started like that or something. I don't know if any of that is true at all, but there is that.

And politics are awesome.

Politics has  been present in KR since I entered more than 3 1/2 yrs ago.  IG politics, that is.

Politics? I wouldn't know anything about those  :

POLITICS, n. A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage. From the Latin Poli meaning "many" and Tics meaning blood sucking creatures
