I'm not much of one for meta-plot, and there is no one city set to dominate. I'm a little more concerned with the hope for the future aspect. Each group has its internal and external problems. Aside from the global conflicts like this, I don't have an end point.

For that matter, the US alone has quite a few areas of here be dragons - so if you want to add new cites and locations go ahead. Actually, I was using an atlas earlier, and found out most of the states are separated by five or six hundred miles - so they can subsist independently or not. At least from a personal standpoint, I'd rather prefer to see NB go down - zealots like that scare me more than zombies.

As to the signature, I'm using my sister's "computer" to get on the net, since it has a faster connection. Of course none of the commands on a mac notebook are the same, so I deleted my whole post at least twice and hand to start over. At one point, the signature line got deleted, so for a lark and to see if people still pay attention to the last two lines - I changed it. This is also reminiscent of when I was in grade school, and needed to have my teachers check my assignment notebook to make sure that I had kept accurate track of assignments. Projects like "acquire plutonium", and "take over world" were entered - yet the signed it off none the less.

There is a fine line between hobby and obsession. I seem to have lost sight of it some time ago.
