I need to mention that I have been trying to draw support for Fenton's project, and very much to his perpetual invitation.

I reached out to Meon Bell again, telling him everything about what was going on with Fenton. However, I received no reply.

Nevertheless, I persisted. When I first arrived, I noticed that Fenton's dymensional plane consisted solely of the town of North Kempton. And with him trying to craft societal and economic dynamics to as realistic but also ideal of a form as possible, I suggested to Fenton that while North Kempton is definitely a community of its own, it is, inevitably, influenced by neighboring towns and counties. Therefore, I suggested that the dymensional plane be expanded to include every neighboring community corresponding to the home of every member of "The Circle." Afterall, they all come from roughly the same geographic area. That meant that the plane was to include also the town of Kempton, Northington, Maulkin, Cortsburry, and Knobston.

Fenton had his doubts at first when I proposed this. Though the dymensional plane had room enough, Fenton was afraid that doing so would increase incentive to expand further, eventually creating a need for more dymensional frames and algorithm books. At that point, funding would be required. However, Marya Solden was very savvy to the idea of personal representation, a sentiment shared by Sarah and Richard Galleston. Eventually, the ensuing tide of approval having spread throughout "The Circle" had led Fenton to give in and give out role assignments for the additional build-up.

That was about a week ago, I think.

A problem that Cray Fenton voiced when initially demonstrating opposition, however, has rung true: the peopling of these additional towns. North Kempton is a city of about eight thousand, I think. And there are eight thousand avatars populating the version of North Kempton in the dymensional plane; only twenty-seven actually cast by a member of "The Circle." The remaining avatars are generated and driven automatically by scripts in the algorithms book; although such scripts are manipulated by members of "The Circle" in bulk fashion based on discussions of North Kempton cultural norms versus desired ideal outcome.

But with five more towns added to the map come more algorithm-generated avatars to be cast. Although the populations of each of these towns is dwarfed by the town of North Kempton, the workload is still significant. Thus the reason I have been reaching out to Meon Bell and other Members of the Third Level Society I know were tempted to leave just like I did.

Last Friday, we greeted a group of former-Members, six in all. Five of them are Cabotton freshmen I barely know, but the sixth is Timothy Paulson, someone I know quite well. I was initially elated when these newcomers arrived. I had dreaded that the Freshman Members as a class were unquestionably loyal to Marcus Terrings, who I understand is now inflitrating very deeply into the Society Membership with his radical ideas.

It was Paulson, though, who surprised me. Much to my utmost anxiety, he suggested at our meeting Saturday night that not only should the dymensional plane include towns represented by each member, but also that someone from that town should govern over that part of the dymensional plane autonomously.

Before I could speak up, Fenton stepped in and said, "We have to have a certain degree of uniformity in this plane." He then explained how he understood the multifaceted nature of the Third Level Society. "But it doesn't work that way here," Fenton concluded. "Everything that happens in the dymensional plane of North Kempton happens with the approval of our 'Circle' as a whole."

Most of the Gallestons agreed with Fenton on this; and Paulson seemed a bit dejected later on. However, Marya came to him and consoled him at some point. And from what I gather, she and Timothy got into a deep discussion over this idea; for at the end of it, she came out in full agreement with him.

She first approached me, just before I went to bed, and told me how she did not know previously how each of the multiple dymensional planes making up the Arturian Realm was governed by an "Administrator."

"We don't have the donors for that here," I said to her. "Even so, the Society itself was running itself a tight budget. Also, do you really want us starting to charge a fee every year?"

Marya just paused for a moment at that. And I thought the argument was over. I was thinking of how to console the both of them when she looked at me and said, "Let's all discuss this tomorrow."

That was yesterday, April 1. And so Marya brought up the topic in front of Cray Fenton and "The Circle" earlier tonight.

I'm not satisfied with what happened tonight, and neither is Cray. But I will take a moment to admire Marya. She was quite fierce, although fair. She started with facing a tidal wave of opposition, spear-headed by Cray Fenton and supported by myself. The crux was the budgetary needs to construct the dymensional plane frames and the consoles required.

Marya understood that and took it in stride. By the end, an idea was worked out to keep this dymensional plane frame as the sole frame for the North Kempton "realm," and that each town, run by its section of "The Circle" would input their developments for their town regardless of sentiment by the rest of "The Circle." Each town-group would eventually have its own console, each tapping into the single dymensional plane frame. Of course, the prohibitive costs of that mean we cannot start off with having multiple consoles; after all, we only have one. But in the meantime, we would take turns entering our inputs into the console we do have.

Like I said, the majority of "The Circle" had initially been uncomfortable with this. But as Marya delivered an excusable compromise for each shortfall, the gathering grew more and more comfortable with the idea.

In the end, Timothy Paulson actually stepped out and called a vote. Fenton and I were obviously not savvy to this. And neither were Richard and Sarah Galleston, or Sarah's brothers, Peter and John. But there was a clear majority in the room who thought otherwise. I forget the exact figures, but, as Fenton admitted later: "It's what the Circle wants. We have to go with it."
