I have no problems with new people wanting to play in the game -- I love playing with new people. I have problems with expanding the number of teams, which I've detailed my reasoning for in some places and agreed with anons who share my opinion in others. I brought up temporarily closing the app pool till more people are placed as a suggestion to at least stem the growth of the pile. I don't see any insults to new people who want to play in the game here, only acknowledgement that a long wait time is something that I personally see as necessary for Aather to keep functioning at its best. We obviously disagree, but saying that the basis of our disagreement stems from insularity and not an honest difference of opinions is an insulting strawman in and of itself.

I see your arguments, I really do. I just don't agree that they're in the best interest of Aather's future.
