Yeah!.
When something is accepted and we thing that is it more or less good, 
it is time for a new one to come and kick it showing us a new better 
way of doing it.

Although this make us to advance slowly, this make us to have a better 
 game as every idea has been able to survive to a big group of people.

So, even if a discussion is closed(?), if you have a new idea, just 
post it, I have no problem in throwing away all what it is done if 
someone shows that it can be done better in a new way.

( Ask Brian about the design :) )

Yes.
But when they are done they will be just events, we could have a 
world manager ( see UML ) for this task.

That is one of the problems as building a house is a complex task, in 
space and in time.

Yes, The devil is in details.
We should get a simple RP version at first. So the first version could 
use the actual RP.

Also the progression is fast at the begin and slow at the end.
