Hi Everyone,

Thought I'd unlurk for a moment to say I thoroughly enjoyed following the WoS posts. I stumbled onto them a few weeks ago while wandering around the forum and I got hooked. I started out with the Consular reports with the linked battle reports which led to the deliberations and story threads.

It was quite a lot to take in but it was worth it. The earlier, congenial Senate turning into a viper's nest of insults and murder. The young turks chafing underneath the old guard. The inevitable(?) descent into Civil War as tradition and decorum were trod underfoot. BTW was the revolt planned or did it just develop organically? Particularly amusing was how militaristic expansionism always kicked the snot out of development and integration. I guess "the Victor" is a sexier appellation than "the Civic-Minded".

Following along even inspired me to download and play RTR Gold.

Anyway thanks for a great read.
