Just in case you guys missed pevergreens' post:

For those interested in discussing politics, you might want to take a look in the BR. It's members only, so you have to apply to be granted acces.

Just go in your profile and click permission groups (or follow THIS LINK) and check the box next to "Backroom".

You might want to bribe send a friendly pm to one of the BR moderators (Ser Clegane, Banquo's Ghost, Seamus Fermanagh or CountArach) to speed up the proces.

If you want to try out a game of mafia, then you need to check the box next to "Gameroom". The local moderators there are Sigurd, Yaseikhaan and GeneralHankerchief.
