Hi suckers

Just a few thoughts and questions,

I wonder, do we have a new phrase in the Glorantha vernacular? Beti Ballista has been 'JEFF'D' !!!

I largely thought that the tribe accepted (usually grudgingly or not at all) Gregging because Greg actually invented Glorantha. But Jeff? Why wasn't there an announcement on the HQ website for his new executive powers? For the sake of general interest did Steve Martin famously retcon any long established GAG? You know, was anything 'STEVE'D'??

Mr Hughes, as a wonderful and prolific contributer to the majesty of Glorantha have you retconned any of Glorantha? Or, in gardening parlance, do you lovingly tend exisitng plants, maybe a light prune here or there, whilst adding interesting and colourful new plants. Or do you, like Jeff, like to rip out existing plants, putting in new plants which fit in with the existing garden scheme or not, depending on what colour underwear you have on, or some other way of deciding because you don't care what people think of what you do to the garden you dont own, but merely work on.

Does anyone remember who first decided that only men worship Orlanth (except for the ultra weird Vingans)? King of Sartar? Met-bot, what does your database like brain say?

I suppose contractually speaking nothing is actually retconned until Minty publishes it as something other than an unfinished work.
