Hey, here's a question:
How dangerous do people think cliomancers are?  I know that I visualize them 
as the instigators and sources for a lot of the really nasty catfights in 
the OU. This is because they fight over things which are renewable but can't 
be shared, and which can't be moved. This means a cliomantic site (unlike 
say, a dipsomantic sig charge flask) just sits there, being big and 
historical, daring some young turk to come take it from the decrepit (35 
year old) cliomancer who has held it since the late eighties...
Anyone?
Patrick
