And, yet, that's what you're left with.
4 kids, job, slated to be grandfather soon. Sorry - no time to do both! I'd rather do one as well as I can than both poorly. Plus, there is the *very* relevant argument that few wizards have been able to maintain an active mortal and not be corrupted by their own mortal's interests. Back when I had an active mortal, and an active wizard ... well, I was a mess.

Yes, and that's a good thing

The important thing here is obviously to realzie the need to talk to all three and not just one of them, in order to get more information and different perspectives on issues. But it seems to me that the current wizzes are smart enough to do that.

I actually think that he might in some ways have a
better perspective for not being in the middle of it. Perhaps in some ways worse too, but I'd say it evens out. The important thing, in my opinion, is that the wizards listen a lot and talk to the players.

Aye but if you get three different answers a good tiebreaker is to try it out and see it first hand.
And yes, its important that they listen to players, but they should ask MORE players than 2-3, alot of wizards have theire "go to" guys and thus they only hear the same 2-3 views, hence why the forum and votes should be used alot more, ALOT more

There are a lot of players who DONT use the forums because they can't stand the pervasive mood of comments here. Do their votes not mean anything?
