[Ed] More than one game?

Something that's come up a time or two and has come up again...

We've got a proposal for a game from somebody that's already running a
game.  I tend to want to say that one game ought to be enough for anybody,
but there are GM's out there running three or four games at a time.

Considering the level of quality that the Phoenyx wants to maintain, I'd
prefer GM's to run only one game at a time.  But if we refuse them a
second list, they're likely to run off to Yahoo and start a second game
there anyway.

Karen's inclined to let them run multiple games, provided that they're
doing well with the existing one(s).  I'm not sure I like it, but I don't
see that we can control it.

Any thoughts on the matter?

(The existing game is deusx if you want to take a look.  It seems to be
running alright.)

I agree with Karen.  Given that I have been half-heartedly thinking
about running a Westworld game (if the background ever solidifies
enough for a relative "outsider" to run one), I would hate to have the
fact that I'm already running a game count *against* me.

Realistically, if you're already running a game, I would think that
you would be able to do a more realistic assesment of whether or not
you are up to running a second one.

Then I'd ask the Jonathan if he's *really* sure he wants to do this
and, if he is, approve it.

WestWIND.  Westworld would be... different.  (Yeah, I thought 
about the listname when I created it.)

Oops, sorry.  Blame sloppy fingers and insufficient attention to what
I was typing.
