]Can you create a hermetic circle or medicine lodge inside of a van or something,
]and then drive around and park wherever you like and use the circle wherever
]you like? The actualcircle has not moved; it is still drawn/set up on the
]floor of the van. The whole van has moved around it. I can see both sides
]to the issue, but I would like to hear comments for/against this.


Sure, it would work. All the silliness about where it is bound aside - it
really doesn't matter, and I just _love_ to see you guys get all up in a lather
trying to justify a philosophy/metaphysics with science.

At any rate, back to the point of the letter (rather than making use of all the
rampant idiocy about to poke holes in your canoes) it really _would_ work.

However, you have to remember that the rating on the circles/lodges is only
dependent on the amount of money spent, and that the rating affects what can be
done in it (naturally), I don't see too many people making circles/lodges with
ratings less than 6.

The problem with this (and oh boy is it a problem) is that the radius of such
a circle/lodge (if I am not mistaken - - rules lawyers!! To your corners!!)
is determined by the rating. For example, the radius of a rating 6
circle/lodge is 6m. I don't see you hiding that 40' diameter circle/lodge just
anywhere. Maybe on a sea-going liner, but not on a semi, or on a motorcycle,
etc.

It's a good idea, if only because I know some ex-players around here who would
give their eye-teeth for such a loophole, and we really need to find them
first.

How could it work?

Maybe... I repeat *maybe* for the hermetic circles. But a shaman's
Lodge MUST be in its environment. And unless you wish to qualify
autos as Urban that won't work too well...
