| Message | Am I the only one who is suspicious of BIC's actions? It seems rather strange that Lord Stephen should change his political party from pseudo-Communist to monarchist, only to have this "Royalist League of Vanuku" show up. Evidently, he is culling support from elsewhere, possibly outside Particracy. |
