I was considering making all members of Glomdoring have some basic level of insanity by default, but that probably would not have made for good game mechanics. 
One thought. Wiccans on Ethereal?
Side-note. It's so incredibly hard to bash while neurotic.
Excellent!

Would have been awesome though!
I'm not crazy, and neither is my commune.

help insanity
5.20 INSANITY
The level of sanity can be seen upon STATUS and reflects the stability of
one's mind. The more insane someone is, the more prone that person is to
performing irratic actions. Also, the more insane one is, the harder it
is to heal mental afflictions. Advanced stages of insanity will cause
mental ailments to spontaneously occur.
The most common way to lose one's sanity is to remain upon the astral
plane. The longer one remains, the more insane one becomes.
The only known method to recover one's sanity is to recouperate upon any
plane that is not the astral plane. Because of the affinity cosmic
guardians have with the cosmic and astral planes, they will recover
their sanity slightly faster when they recouperate upon the plane they are
attuned to (i.e., Celestians upon Celestia and Nihilists upon Nil).
They have it pointing at one now, but it really messes up the old HELP INSANITY.

It's great. Wonderful. I love it. Just needs a few tweaks:
1) After a little while, people start to mischan randomly (Including mischanning things that are said and emoted.)
This means, of course:
(Walkers of the Peaceful Path): Through the aetherwave, your receive an image. In it, starts sucking and biting.
(I leave what's been sucked and bitten as an exercize to the reader's sick imagination.
)
2) Mages should recover faster in the Elemental Planes they're attuned to.
3) Druids should recover faster in the Ethereal side of their forests (etherwilde and etherglom).
4) Wiccans should recover faster in Faethorn.
5) No love for warriors.

I love the changes. Astral will finally be a place to be feared, as it should be. The only thing I thought was slightly disappointing was that neurosis is essentially stupidity. I'd have liked to seen it done with different effects (different commands, strange dream-like visions, etc.) than stupidity, to make it more original and distinct. Seeing all the people at the Megalith oinking and yelling about so-and-so being cute don't strike me as that neurotic, just plain idiotic.
In all though, awesome change.
