Now, that wasn't fair. I really have to reply, don't I? It's been quite busy
time for me, with the end of school year (I'm a teacher), pregnant wife
(nothing to do with my teaching), and negotiating terms and conditions of my
surrender to the doctor who will operate my spine in a few weeks. Besides, I
took an approach of receiving wisdom from those mails in small doses. And
humorous posts only make sense when they are just an add-on to something of
value.
And now for something completely different. As I mentioned earlier, my
group and I are pretty interested in RC's politics. In Star Vikings there is
an NPC who is an Oriflamme rebel/partisan. Also in various (I think)
COALINFONET entries there have been mentions of terrorist attacks on
Oriflamme. There seems to be much tension between the technarchs and more
federalist-oriented citizens. This is also something that Matt Carson
explored in his alternative Backwards Mask.
Obviously, this will not destroy the Coalition (because somebody has to meet
the Regency in 8 years), but did you ever considered break up in the
Coalition?
