There is a Pentamere E-list that has 0 traffic. And, yes, the Mid is more drama-prone.
I'm sort of trying to avoid the knee-jerk "stomp" effect that usually greets any talk of a Principality where the Kingdom is concerned.
I might look at starting a Yahoo-groups list that I can moderate pretty tightly at first while we work on building interest.
John said something interesting to me, that I'd like your take on:
None of the precursors to Principality are, technically speaking, allowed to Regions: champions, events, even the officers are nothing more than deputies of their Kingdom superiors. So all of this, and most of all any committee devoted to promoting the Principality would be, essentially seizing authority where none really exists. Which is precisely what the three previous mid Principalities did - with varying degrees of conflict. The trick appears to be to go quietly just as far as you can until the higher ups are forced to recognize that which already exists.
