OOC: Darvian and Mr. Yankees are indisputably right, and I say this as someone who dislikes Darvian with quite the same intensity he does me (goes way back about 180-150 years to our Zardugal days. Very long story. On a completely unrelated note, I do have to give you credit, you bested me in that battle Darvian. I set to get you to leave, and it ended with me having little other choice than to pack my own bags, and you've gone on to rule Zardugal with astonishing consistency for an astounding length of time. I still profoundly dislike your personality, as well as your general style of play and RP, but, hell, credit where credit is due. I don't begrudge you your victory, though, you kicked me out of my regional politics and local dominance, andI went on to have a fairly successful career in Particracy, starting with crafting the Kazulian Empire and later the infamous NWO. Strangely enough Darvian, you that are on the short list of Particracy players I may genuinely despise, you may have saved me from long-term Particracy ignominy, and perhaps I should thank you for that. There's no sarcasm here).
Though, Darvian, I think a lot of the "Axis-bashing" is because all of the complaints coming from Xanathos are being labeled, very prominently "THE AXIS, OFFICE OF THE CHAIR". I apologize for presuming he spoke on behalf of the organization in general. I also, from the sheer number of complaints, mentally presumed a great many Axis members were complaining, though upon review it seems all the recent ones have come from Xanathos. Xanathos (I think and hope the more rational members of the Axis have already exhorted this to you), stop bitching and let the trial develop. George, you constantly let things get to you in such an absurdly emotive way that does nothing to advance this problem and, in general, probably your biggest personality fault.
Anyways, all that is not really necessary to what I'm trying to say. Come on, people! We've got a momentous trial on our hands that may be the biggest, best piece of RP we'll do in quite a while, and at present it's scheduled to start very soon (Friday? Saturday? I'm still hazy on that). At the time George was picked he had no connection at all either with myself or with Nova Terra, he was selected because many people had confidence in his abilities to conduct an efficient Prosecution, and I personally did not foresee any controversy in his selection. We can still have a brilliant trial if we simply put this issue aside and focus on simply making the trial as good as possible.
