I'm happy to adapt to either.That's great but only 7 votes have been cast. I'm not going to look seriously at the poll until Monday at the earliest. I'd argue Mao's China was a Lawful Evil totalitarian state. However, I think there's a case to be made that Stalin's (and Ivan the Terrible's) Russia and Pol Pot's Cambodia were Chaotic Evil states. State terror, I would argue is a Chaotic Evil style of ruling that is actually antithetical to a Lawful theory of the world.I'd be really sad to lose the Derro from the origin story so I'll procrastinate further before making any change. However, if everyone ends up hating the mere mention of them, I guess I'll drop them.You see, this is why I didn't want to be "in charge" of anything. Surely, if people care about the names of things in the history, they can show up on this thread and post their concerns and alternatives. I've got to say that having some kind of voting process for all the names is a recipe for ensuring that there is no cohesive linguistic feel for the world. Would you mind asking them? I'm happy to get input but I've now posted to every single other thread on Mor's End and directly asked for people to read the history and give me input (twice in some cases).</blockquote>
