• We should recruit more Spelaeans as Mediators for these outer rim vicinages. My sand-loving legs get tired walking all these hills.-Squeet! #
• mediators Ha, any of the Spelaeans here are all spies for the Cliffs anyway, do we really want those types as Mediators? -Trixal #
• Trix: could you at least not air your intolerance so publicly? talk about behavior unbecoming a Mediator. -Livie #
• Squeet! : I think it’s just your short legs. Next time trade routes with one of us tall folk rather than whining! -Oxide #
• Livie: I think it’s kind of cute. - Splash #
• Splash: I didn’t figure you for a xenophobe… -Livie #
• I’m not, I just think xenophobes are a little adorable, in a, “scratch their ears but don’t let them in the house” kind of way. - Splash #
• Squeet!: No worries, your legs may be little but they’re so tasty to look at,especially in that short wrap you wear sometimes on duty. -Cole #
• Cole: The blue and red one? Eww, remind me to burn it if you’ve been staring down my spokes. -Squeet! #
• On break to have a good cry. - Cole #
• Cole: See? Your tears in the face of a challenge are why you’ll never get to do more than ogle from afar. -Squeet! #
• On break for an even longer good cry. -Cole #

They’ve argued this to tediousness over on the Mesh R-feed, so I thought I’d start a focus for discussion over here.  Most of you know the standard look of a Gurgerider’s conveyance, but we have a few innovators in our midst that like to experiment with tradition.  The latest Rider swirl has been over the recent popularity with Heyo Monkeythumbs and a few others of the double-hull ride.  Now personally, I think it’s ridiculous and probably suicidal to sacrifice that much maneuverability to get only extra speed in return.  On the other side of the hull, I concede that Andranai’s run a few days ago showed just how much extra speed the double-hulls provide if you hook in one of the large fast currents like the Upper Widowmaker or Slip 9.

I’m bored to violence over hearing my fellow Riders argue this out, perhaps the rest of you will at least have more entertaining opinions.  Please, discuss!
