I do not care for the idea that the more one spends the greater say they should get in Clan affairs.

I get where you are coming from. There are limits though to how money spent influences the main story. For example, one gets only one Imperial Assembly vote, no matter how much one shells out for AEG.

Moreover, though having a paid Imperial Assembly membership does grant one more say in Clan affairs than not having one, there are other ways of gaining influence (Winter Court, proposing alternate Path Choices, engaging in thoughtful, productive conversation those who do spend money, inviting others to play the game, etc.) that may outweigh the influence of having said membership.

Um... Where does it say you need a PAID ia membership to vote on the Clan Path? I haven't seen that in any of the L5R.com posts. Can you link please.

I'm not saying I object to the Imperial Assembly. What I object to is some sort of electoral process where dollars spent grant you proportional clout.

AEG needs to care about it, though. The RPG is a wonderful product, but it doesn't keep the lights on. And when a clan is as divided as ours between CCG players and RPG players, that presents a problem for them.

Thus a pretty significant problem.

I seriously doubt that the IA is "dominated" by RPG players. There just aren't enough of them.

Did you know that the Heroes of Rokugan campaign has been better-attended than the CCG at the past few Gencons? And those folks do care about the story, I know a lot of them with IA memberships. A lot of them who applied for an played in Winter Court. And a lot who are carefully following the paths.
