I'd like to start off saying gliders can't be weaponized. Since the gnomes have found that they cannot weaponize them, I don't think they should be weaponized at all.

Now, what you're saying is going just a bit too far. I'm suggesting that we restrict these inventions, because they balance out the gnomes against other races. Taking them and using them for personal gain is over-powering in itself (as I've stated many times in this blog post) which shouldn't be done in the first place. But the past is the past and it cannot be undone. The future, however, can be changed. If clans simply stopped using gliders, then it no longer becomes an issue.

I can forsee that this will become an issue of 'Should we give up the over-powered technology to make everything fair and equal, especially in the long run...or cling to our old ways and keep it just because we want them?'  I hope the only argument is '''We have them, but we shouldn't have them. We need to get rid of them, but we have no logical reason to'.'' The best way I can think of to combat this is to say you never had them in the first place. These things are only used in wars, so it shouldn't be very difficult to just say they never existed, because they hardly ever come up on topic. Gnome Gliders are never the central plot of any role-play I've seen, so I don't believe it will be that hard to void having them.
