*drily* I believe David was suggesting that *you* round up more funds if you want to see KoDP 2.

Because, as people keep trying to explain to you and as you keep refusing to hear, *the people of Dragon Pass don't like gathering in such large groups*.

Not at all. More nobles would mean more people with a right to argue over how the clan should be run.

But you are choosing to play a game in which the goal is to play an Orlanthi clan. I suppose, if you liked, you could play with checkers by stacking all the checkers in a single tall tower on the checker board and seeing how high you could make the stack before it crashed. But don't you think it would be rather silly to claim that, while you were doing that, you were playing "a game of checkers"? You wouldn't be, because that's not how you play checkers.

When you make a clan grow to the size of 4000 people, you are playing *with* the King of Dragon Pass game, but you are not playing the game King of Dragon Pass.
