Get back into designing. Come up with cool expansions for your guildhall, or neat features other people don't have. Take a gaggle of novices to see a play and then discuss it. Record a lecture on village influencing tactics.

You enter and leave the room in superior tackiness. I wonder what's so scary about that.
I am a newbie. This person has just arrived in a swirl of chill and my very core has been chilled. I shall now start up a friendly conversation with noted superior and clearly very important and likely busy, if not menacing person.

Got to finally chat with maellio briefly. Was nice though I kinda ran out of topics to discuss. At least seraku isn't too bothered by the thought of a drac from hallifax since the discussion.

I seem to get frustrated with people and give myself a headache every time I log in lately. Time for a break.

That last sentence of yours cuts both ways; just because villages work the way you want does not mean that flares should!
Wild nodes gives almost all of your list actually. Winner gets power, reduced guard cost and upkeep, and prevents others from having the same thing. Only the winner gets all the goodies.
As to the only point it does not match... nothing is stopping you from building that construct on your nexus world, so everyone can have that regardless of owning bubbles.
If you choose something else, well, clearly you value that other one more highly than free discretionaries.
That said, I would not mind seeing it be just half price instead of fully free, but you're complaining about something you have the power to change already.

I don't mind having my statement cut both ways. If I did, I'd be inconsistent.
Not having Wildnodes does not prevent one from having guards, whereas not having bubbles does prevent having constructs. You can have one, and only one.

The only thing I was belittling was the 'short notice/didn't know how it worked' argument, because we were all on even footing there.
I think you acknowledge, domoths (and I'll include most honorable family in this pile) have a lot of other benefits to help in a more general way, which I would compare to the non-discretionary construct benefits.
Having all constructs doesn't allow free raiding without retribution, either. I cannot recall a time in recent memory that I have been on a raid where discretionaries were not called. Since the VA cost changes and the addition of conquest pools, the cost for using these powers is already negligible. I feel that saying, "but they're not free" is almost a technicality. They certainly are freely used as required.
It's true, I'm glad to have the opportunity to have all my org's constructs built. I particularly like being in a position where we're not forced to sacrifice benefits for newer players (harmony construct) for more pragmatic defense constructs. On the subject of refusing things, though, I refuse to believe you'd have any objections if your org had control of more bubbles. I do not recall this degree of outrage when more orgs had at least 1.

I can't recall a time when you raided in a group of two or three. "Freely used as required" is not the same as freely used, however. For instance, I would not waste the power on a single raider. If they were completely free, I wouldn't think twice. That's a key difference there, and if Glom doesn't mind the difference, that's fine. Thalkros would be yelling at me though.
I'm refusing to allow my statements to apply generally because I don't intend them to and they don't work at that level. No, I wouldn't mind having more bubbles, but as to whether or not I wouldn't be arguing for this position is a different question. Having seen the problem, I say I would.
Also, having to pay money and comms is almost negligible. There's little risk, except maybe contributing negatively to the comm economy.

I've been kind of bored with Lusternia lately. I just spend most of my time in game idling, if I even log in. I'm sick of hunting and no one really talks to me anymore unless it's to get me to favor someone or to be unenemied to the Aeromancers.
Ever since I've gotten Dreamweaving, I've been spamming QW, HELP HALLIFAX and Sleepsense to see who I can bother with my dreamweaving. I even did a recce trip down to the Matrix (and typo-ed the room description ), but I've not been seeing anyone there.

Like maybe.
Crossing the basin, or building an aeroplane
Lightning up the spire of justice.
Devising a system for competing in aetherflares
Or giving Daraius a shower.
Surfing on windwaves,
creating crystalbots,
or finding a gaudi author.
Make a weather machine
Breeding aerials
or wailing away on lyres.
This could possibly be the best day ever, and the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better, so make every moment count, jump up, jump in and seize the day. And lets make sure that in every single possible way.
Today is gonna be a great day
