It'd be cool if the same could be done with moomin and penguins.
I think that having such slightly silly races is a richness and adds to
the general feel-good atmosphere. It'd be a shame to do away with them just
to be like every other game out there with only serious, boring races.
Just my two euro cents, but I don't think I'm completely alone in feeling this
way.

I was of course referring to the post in the inform-group about valar becoming
generally invitable.
However thanks to my lack of hands, I failed to indicate that. Shame on me.

These invite-only races were created by personal wishes won by players. They
stipulated that they wanted the ability to restrict who may or may not be able
to become a member of the race. As you have seen with Valar, and Ulath made
pretty clear, it was Tulkas's decision to make the race a bit more public than
it was before. I reckon if you want these other races to become public, you'd
have to get the race "owners" to agree to it. I would see no problem in opening
them as such if you could convince these people agree to it.

Well, Ulath (BatCouncil) was saying that other races are oddities and about to
be phased out, nothing about invites changing or so. In general, I don't see
problem with silly races. Hedgehog and Penguin are no more silly than Duck
(which is weird itself). Moomin is kind of nice because it represents the
"finnishness" of the game, and I think our friend Jussi Hallo-Aho and
Perussuomalaiset would agree on this!
