Or we can use my option and return disruption with disruption. Exiles could
effectively stop PM for ever successfully completing any expedition ever
again if enough exiles organized and systematically sued all PM members that
logged on and kept suing them over and over as soon as they got out of jail.

Thus no PM members could ever do anything since they would constantly be in
jail.

Unfortunately I think you are assuming that:

a) the court system works

b) there are enough exiles in the lands

c) there are enough exiles interested

d) probably other bad assumptions I can't list quickly

Heyas

In short

PM/Klur do not want the portals to be used to get past “Doors”
Especially the DP/foothills corridor.

If the Portal is placed in an area & used in a manner he deems
unacceptable PM/Klur will go out of their way to sabotage whoever is
trying to use it.

Everyone else in the past has been willing to allow PM/Klur or others to
use the to portals without interferance, even if the use of the portals
was not agreed with, in an effort to be civil.

Fundin has planned a trip to the foothills in which a portal will be
utilized. Klur's stated intention is to sabotage said trip, because he
doesn't like where or how the portal will be used.


Commentary:
Klur is a rankwhore at heart. Some years ago he realized he couldn’t
keep up with the Michael/Gurgi’s of the world to be the top rank dog so
he did the next best thing, He got a solid group together and became
the top “ExplorationWhore” The Portals have the potential of robbing
PM/Klur of this title. So Klur/PM are willing to play “Portal Wardens
GM’s” Because YOU the Designers of CL fucked up and added something to
the game that they disagree with. Klur doesn’t need or want portals and
doesn’t want others to have the advantage either. They are simply
trying to correct an Error in world creation YOU the game designers
created. How sweet of him.
