It's a bit unfair to play on the egos, Luth. But if you insist: May I remind you that it was me who made Icus a national theme on the Matis assemblies, therefore bringing together the three villages doing just their own bit seperated from the others? May I also remind you that I put the water road on a national map, while you tried to make it out only with Avalae (as Icus did repeatedly)? And it was also me who came to the Avalae Assembly recently with the proposal of an expedition (which involves the ET, though, which did not reply to me yet). I could have just layed back and stayed quiet on all these occasions, or could have kept everything on the German language stage and take a comfortable seat on the Davae Assembly, which I declined. Probably this has to do with ego, of course. You don't do politics without ego. You do politics to move things, not to keep them static - unless you're only there for the money (in real life) or as a paid/conducted vote bringer. If the will to move things has to do with ego, I agree with you. But if you see this as a loss instead of a profit, I couldn't disagree with you more.
