Whee :) It's nice to someone start small.

Nice concept, I think.

Right now I'm awfully busy at work, so it may take a while from me
to set up the web stuff for Schola. But you can start playing
starting from next turn.

On a related matter (name wise anyway), I have for both the Shanari and now the Republic of Kaeir used a mysterious order known as the "Society of Scholastics" to describe various actions, aspects of the society etc.  The general idea being that members of the Society wander around and record various historical events and societies, but I haven't given an explanation of why they do this.
 
Feel free to use that as well.

Well, to avoid confusion I think I'll change the name.  Let's make it 
"Exquastio."

Hey! I started fairly small -- although not nearly so small as they do. I
just hope they have better luck getting accepted in other cultures than my
Wanderers have had!

1. Pick a non-player society. You can take a new one (like Jefferson),
but in that case you have to start small, or otherwise be very careful
to fit that society in the existing world and history.

2. Send your request for playing to the list (or to me, but I prefer the 
list).
For a new society, also submit description (and determinants).

3. When you get ok from me (or Keaton), you can submit your first set
of actions the following game year.

Take a look at http://members.tripod.com/~kimril/qaiyore/ (particularly the 
societies link) and the information from http://www.phoenyx.net/celandra/ 
(particularly the Qaiyore page).  Ask questions, decide what sort of society you 
want, and post to the list for feedback.
