| Message | While the JAS adore Killer Whales and relish in Canoeing, the two simply do not mix well. Please do not make us recall the horrendous afternoon where the two did meet. The JAS will support this change... especially if we can have lucky pinky to place in run 4. |

| Message | I would urge you to all vote against this proposal, at least article 1 anyway. The killer whale has a long association with Keymon, not only are the waters surrounding maddog swarming with the buggers, but the intial shape of the island was remarkably like that of a Killer Whale, only settling in its current form after the violent eruptions that marked the birth of our nation had settled down. OOC. The initial map shape that Wouter proposed was, well that of a Killer Whale, hence the Killer Whale link. He obviously couldn't resist making an island in that shape, as well the exansion to the map has just such an island in it.... |
