But I quite agree with you; it would be a shame if anyone left because they didn't feel "good enough." There are enough niches in the Forest for everyone, I hope.

Somewhat unrelatedly, I'd like to just briefly explain my "no" vote on the India embassy. The Thalassia embassy passed 16-1, for a total of 17 votes. That is such a low percentage of the total eligible voters, and there was hardly any discussion or public consideration of it. It seemed like we were at risk for just sort of sleepwalking into yet another embassy, and notwithstanding Octopus islands ' generous offer of being the ambassador, there didn't seem to be any compelling reason to do it aside from that. In my mind (which is just my own idea), a "yes" vote should be insofar as something is obviously the best course of action, but if the gut reaction is a half-hearted "yeah, sure, why not, idk?", then it's probably better to err on the side of caution. I'm not actually opposed to an embassy with India; I just haven't really seen any great reason to go for it, either. So for now, "eh, why not?" is best translated as "eh, probably not."
I often feel rather ignoant compared to many others here but I love to surround myself with intelligent folks! Don't tell them that I said so, but many of my friends are kind of dumb.
I voted against the embassy with India for essentially the same reasons as you did. They could have made a much better case for themselves than they did (I think/hope)...
