	For what it's worth, I'm leaning toward "no Round 3" at the moment. I just don't have time to be as active in it (shortened or not -- I'm busy trying to finalize a zillion other projects before the birth -- consider that I've still not yet finished the R2 theatrics for Ghyll), and there's no one else willing to step up to GM. With that said, I fully expect that once I "settle down" with the new child, I'll be back to my old habits, and I'll send a note to everyone informing 'em of updates. --[[User:Morbus Iff\|Morbus Iff]] 17:55, 27 December 2005 (EST)		For what it's worth, I'm leaning toward "no Round 3" at the moment.

		+	:I was gonna write a comment expressing my sadness at the state of Ghyll, and how there might not be a Round 3 any time soon, if ever. But instead of putting even more pressure on you, Morb, I simply wish to say that I am behind you 100%, with whatever you so choose to do regarding the state of Ghyll. And also, congratulations on your pregnancy, and a very, very happy new year to you and yours. --[[User:Snood Trunion\|Snood Trunion]] 16:57, 3 January 2006 (EST)

	:::We could always just say that anything affecting Ghyll proper is off limits, with the exception of things that originate in Ghyll and extend into the Xurient. I for one am very in favor of this whole idea, especially since I don't see the Xurient getting fleshed out much otherwise. I would also suggest that the Xuriental round take place IG at the same time as this last Ghyll Proper round, so we don't have to explain why the scholars all took a year off to go study a completely different Orthogonality. Say the Xurientals were impressed with the Ghyll encyclopedia and started making one of their own. In fact, that answers just about every IG question that I can think of. Even if the whole thing gets thrown away, that could easily be because it was found that the emperor of Xurient, or whoever's in charge over there, was heavily censoring the Xurient encyclopedia to make the Xurient look better. Ghyll scholars would then have to reject it as a legitimate source of information. --[[User:Dfaran L'Eniarc\|Dfaran L'Eniarc]] 02:04, 19 December 2005 (EST)		:::We could always just say that anything affecting Ghyll proper is off limits, with the exception of things that originate in Ghyll and extend into the Xurient.
