Suddenly notices that this is in OOC and drops...
*deleted* *censored* *expurgated* ... Gods of all Stars! I started this response before Zendae posted, but her post only makes me more angry.
As you can tell from my posts in Letters to Wilk Potskin and in my private journal entries and in my public posts to all homins in Atys who might care to read them.... I have been following the apparent failure of the rotoa. (Please note my emphasis on 'apparent'.) I was hoping that there might appear a natural resurgence of the roots of the rotoa, a possible enhancing action (rp event with castings of Root) to reinforce them, or even the application of some potion to the mounds (extract of termite perhaps?).
I'm Ranger all the way ... but we have to deal with game mechanics and some extra roleplay. That being said, this action smacks of total, and I mean TOTAL, lack of imagination on the part of the Event Team. I can conceive of no reason why introduction of the Ranger Faction requires that termites be used in all four Nations. I could see a meta-reason for Ranger innovation to come into play. (The average success rate of Cuiccio Perina is low, for one thing -- only undercut by the "success rate" of Daeronn Cegrips.) However, we Rangers (aspirant) are supposed to be cunning and sensitive to the needs of the Nations. As you can see above, there are other options that could even enhance the reputation of the Rangers without totally trashing the roleplay that the Matis and Zorai have put in.
Since this is OOC I can tell you that I am going to aim this comment at the event team via email as well as here in the forums.

(*) This statement is contested, but we are certainly the longest lasting.
