{{Alright, I was just pissing in the dark. Trying to be helpful and all. sorry. }}
{{ You are certainly still in. I saw your name in the list of senators. (Although having gone back to read it, it seems you have slipped through the cracks. Like Luxemburg at "The Treaty of West Phallia".) I am sure it was a mistake and It can and will be fixed before the whites are called. That being said, this meeting is of the red dems, so a white dem such as yourself, or even an unaffiliated dem like me, are not allowed to participate in these meetings. That is unless we are invited to join in by the dem leader.}}{ The OP did not say that my spot was taken. He accepted my spot early on (and I have the E-Mail to prove it) and told me that I was to make a change to a certain aspect of House Azizid's history as well as a few minor corrections. I left for vacation and only received the notification of my acceptance last Saturday, on the eve of my embarkment onto the cruse ship. I replied to it yesterday and I am awaiting further instructions.}
Bubba's beef with the Whites focuses on heresy
Do not confuse the most pious followers of Iesus Kristos with lowly descendants of horse-lords, my dear friend{{ I did not remember that Bubba was Blue. His religious fanaticism made me think he was white.}}
{{That's the spirit! Not even a member of the Senate but already vigiliant{ ...didn't someone point out that your avatar is Pisan? }
{{ Agreed. It's not like he got much power nowadays }}BTW I think "Faction Speaker" may be a better title for this position - I shall include this in the revised rules.}]

{{ @CzokletMuss:
Do the other Senators get to know the goals of the demes as well or do they just know who the faction speaker is?}}
