If that is true, then perhaps I shall be banned also for saying that Cho has a lower population? *shrugs*

Well, I know I've got into trouble for talking on this subject before, so I'll try to tread more softly this time. As far as I can tell, it isn't so much that the Kami dominate as that there is no viable opposition. The Kami guilds on Cho are merely organised (not organised together as a Kami mafia, they are just guilds that are well-organised rather than anarachic) and are of
viable size (not massive, but rather just big enough that there is more than one member on at a time) and are thus able to fill the void. If they (Kami guilds) had never come onto the server, then I think it likely that the Karavan would not have even one more outpost. This is in stark contrast to the popular view (That I know I was once a proponent of - sorry guys) that the Kami are crushing the Karavan under the boot.
However, this Kami/Karavan issue was not the reason for my original post - I just wanted to point out that the status of the two English-language servers is definitely
not exactly the same (which can only be a good thing for everyone, or there is a lot less reason to have 2 servers!) and that when commenting on politics, it might be sensible to be clear about whose politics one is commenting on.
