To The BoD of Pern FandomIt has come to the attention of the Arolos BoD over the last few years that Pern fandom is increasingly becoming a large amount of games drawing on a dwindling number of members. This causes the obvious difficulties of any group of organisations competing for a limited resource -- unless things become properly organised no-one wins. Everybody runs a Hatching in the same month period -- no-one gets as many Candidates as they would like. Everyone runs the same plot, the members become bored. As the clear leader in the field, Arolos and Dark Fort have decided that it is we who must resolve this issue once and for all. As of today, we will be inviting all other Weyrs in fandom to join us in the Eighth Pass. Discussion has created a plot-line which will achieve this -- more on that shortly -- and we believe that games will do better under our leadership and guidance than they ever did alone. We would like to invite to invite your game to join us, effective immediately, and come under the authority of the Arolos Protectorate. Of course, you will still have a role to play in helping to run your Weyr, but obviously the greater responsibility and worry will be taken from your shoulders. Please contact us with your response in a timely manner so we may discuss what further steps should be taken. Yours faithfully,
