I, on the other hand, am firmly against "theme" zones unless there is a VERY compelling reason to make them. "Why not" is not compelling enough. I say this because Cimerora received mixed responses when it was added, with many people wondering why that was there when it's so far off the game's basic theme. While explanations can be given for Cimerora in particular, and I've gone on the record as defending it, I'd rather not make it a recurring concept.

Too much breaking basic theme turns this into I M Weasel, where half the episodes were "Weasel and Baboon on a boat" or "on a plane" or "as travelling singers." It tends to muddy the water and break suspension of disbelief, at least for me.

Of course, that's not to say there CAN'T be a good reason to add a Cowboy zone, but I'd like to hear it, first.

Sorry I couldn't stop myself from going there.
LOL No Forbin that's perfect! We finally get our moon base, the long rumored water world (not sure if that was ever actually a consideration or just someone's wishful thinking) and can play Cowboys and Indians at the same time! The biggest question now is.. Do we all develop gills so we can breath underwater for entended periods of time or do we get cowboy hats that fit over Scuba gear? :-D
