I'm really curious about the slavery item being tossed around. I believe that
the topic, as it is, is going nowhere rather quickly, and wasting heavy
bandwidth along the way while everyone climbs up on their moral high horse and
makes it their personal crusade to retrieve the holy grail of righteousness and
receive divine recognition for the greatness of their acts.
Enough already!
I'd like to offer a redirection of the precess already in motion, and perhaps
thereby obtain a bit of signal in a sea of noise. I'm curious to see how many
viewpoints there are. I'm not interested in justification, or rationalization
of *ANY* kind. What I'd like is some sort of brief descriptor which will allow
all of us to understand correctly your position without conflict.
For example, the three camps I am currently aware of are:
1) Slavery. S/E have no rights, and are at the whim of the binder,
regardless of duration/number of services.
2) Conscription. Much like the policy of the U.S., S/E are reqruited for
a period of service, the fulfillment of which sets
them free thereafter.
3) Vacation Recruitment. (How else would I put it?) Spirits are not only
willing to visit/play in the Prime Material, but they
require the mage/shaman to get there. Providing a few
services pays for the trip.
This is the kind of thing I look for. I want succinct, BRIEF (you know who you
are) accounts of positions, preferably those which obviously do not fit into
any of these pre-conceived molds.
