What I find fruitful in Todd's posting is that instead of preaching us how it *really* goes, Todd is actually suggesting how it could be done within Glorantha, in a personal game: in a stressful situation, special powers and special individuals are needed, perhaps even on the clan chief level.
This approach also helps to bring forth new (and porbably very local) myths - the salt of all things Gloranthan. :)
Cheers to broad-minded acceptance and the most specific of the most specifics! The more, the merrier. YGWV.
