Oh for sheep's sake Pontius, have recruitment messages and videos EVER worked (except for the MWC)?
Now let's be coldly logical here and analyse the situation:
*I don't think we should panic just yet about "The White Council" (a misnomer if ever there was one). Once their projects get up and running they'll have absolutely no time for gaming. Plus, RayChua's dark alignment has already caused some murmurs amongst the more thoughtful and 'fair-minded' members of The Council. And finally, their name change to The Council of Many Colours will certainly shock a lot of the more right-thinking Council members.
*The Euros are all too busy with political infighting. Also, it's obvious that if Impune's proposition 156(L)(a)(ii) gets up, which is the majority position assuming the Belgiums and Germans don't side with the Italians and Spanish against the Poles, Bulgarians and Irish, who as you know are dead set against the Brits under any circumstances- assuming all of that- they will be limited to 1 game per week except in leap years and dependent upon alignment.
*That leaves Apolyton- but the next *latest* game will clear them out.
*So what I am saying is- look out for you know who, coz 'what we hold, we keep'!
