I would just like to say that, back when I originally wrote the 'do not suggest anything mentioned in the lore or in the real world', it was in the context of 'pls add minas tirith' and 'pls add easterlings' and 'they should add peaches in harad'. Obvious ideas, and useless clutter. See, this was before the whole suggestions forum with long posts thing really came about. I wanted people to stop cluttering up the forums and the facebook page with one-liner suggestions that would have been obvious to anyone with a moment of thought, let alone an entire mod team with years' worth of discussions.

When I wrote that, to 'suggest' something was to post on the page asking us to add it, not to write up a long detailed essay proposing a feature with enough subtleties as to be worthy of an entire mod for itself.

Not to prevent any discussion of 'obvious' ideas, but rather, to encourage discussion of them.
