If we turned a blind eye to such inconvenient possibilities, I think it could still be a lot of fun.  Especially with the prospects of illegal portals and smuggling.  Imagine if an enemy to Big City 1 created a portal with the exact same endpoint as the main portal between Big City 1 and Big City 2.  Marching some hapless mercenaries to be slaughtered in Big City 1 would cause Big City 1 to think that Big City 2 was attacking, when it's really the insidious plot of the enemy city.  I need to work on making things more confusing.Consequences of Teleportation Circle Proliferation is the best thread title I could come up with, Irda.  Was just kidding though.  Your title is very apt.</blockquote>
