Cool. Sorry if I overreacted.

I wanted to pull this out of the (most excellent) discussion page covaithe created.

I like it. We'd need to finesse it a bit to explain why the five didn't do something about it. But that would provide a great counterpoint to the tolerance of the main island.
Alternatively it could be a sort of dark mirror image. The main island gets a lot of wealth from the piracy trade, but they pretend they don't. So there could be friction and intrigue.

Generally speaking I see no reason not to create lots of isles (if people want to). And poll it out in some fashion.

Fantastic. I'm sure its still missing a lot, but it was an honest effort to move a step closer to our ultimate goal.

Or should I just type something on this thread or some other thread that I haven't found?

No you made your check. The point of having it on the wiki is that people can just change it.
So if you want to add a question? Just add it.
Is my wording lame? Change it.

I -wanted- to do a non-binding poll, after getting feedback. Something specific to show people and get a reaction. If people like the fluff and get excited? Great.
If they hate the fluff? Hopefully they get annoyed and come write something.

Doing it on the wiki is better I think. It's easier to go to one place and see people's comments.
If you're responding to people you can preface your comments with a : (or several : to make a nested conversation. (it makes the text bigger... and I have no idea why. It doesn't do that on wikipedia does it?)
The problem with doing it in a thread is that the last person really winds up with primacy and you usually forget stuff from more than a page or so back. (at least I do)

Something like that works for me main island is deliberately undefined.
