What would happen if I developed an anti-Highway deck and you were playing something else?

Actions speak louder than words!  Glad to see someone with connections is doing something.

Petitions tend to come across as combative and lead to excessive dissension, which is NOT going to help the cause.

I disagree.  I Think people can express their disatisfaction in a legitimate exercizre of free speech.  Sometimes the people in position dont know the full extent of the dissatisfaciton until people speak up. Of course with 5 signatures, it doesnt look like much dissatisfaciton so why be afraid?

I think it is unfortunate that you have been scared into holding a view (that you claim you dont actually hold) simply out of fear.  It betrays a low opinion of those you are talking with that you fear that they would "punish" you for responsibly exercising a freedom guarranteed in our first ammendment.

To me this is an exercize in civics.  I have already won because I actually called for change and have presented options as a starting point.  That lots of people have not joined in and that no one with real power has bothered to adress them with me is not my fault.  I seem my job as one who calls attention to a percieved injustice and seeks some remediation.\

You claim to be at the barganing table with those who count and have asked me to remove this thread.  I asked for some guarrantees which yo ufailed to provide.  It seems to me that you are doing just as much as I am and getting just as far.  So dont begrudge me my actions and I wont begrudge you  yours since we seem to be equally ineffective.

I fear nothing.  I have a high opinion of Rob and the playtesters.  I tried to answer your questions that you PM'd me.  I'm not claiming to "win" anything.  I'm not going to post on this thread anymore.

My Conclusion: Why sign a petition to maintain a status quo that is in no danger of change?

Because the status is not QUO!

Is this over,or is this topic going to get bumped for the rest of the year?

If so,just in advance .

Looking at the events of the past week or so, it seems fairly clear to me that some form of change in the process is necessary. As such, could you please add my name to the petition?

Wow, you actually put me at 11...

Given the recent action by Cactus, I am locking this thread.  

Let us hope that specific guidelines are in place to ensure that rulings continue to come in a timely and organized fashion, but this is a step in the right direciton.  I applaued Cactus for their continued efforts to promote a favorable and positive playing evironment for all involved.
