[b]@ Skulls[/b] - Read your message, Skulls; refining a special scene for our plot continuations 8). [b]@ Romenck[/b] - Just very glad to see Etchelion's debut and mark in Altaea. I am looking forward to more exploration into the Coal Company and their esteemed background so let me run up this post! [b]@ Aristo[/b] - That's fine! I completely understand how overwhelming projects are and given the descriptions, looks like you've got your hands tied. In the mean time, I'll place Guillame on the inactive roster. In case your load slackens, you are free to debut Guillame into the main plot arc at a later date. [b]@ Peik[/b] - That's very unfortunate to hear about Turkey and though I can't verify everything, the situation in Turkey does sound intolerable. I've certainly read about protests, conflicts with the PKK, the notorious hacker population, and other news, but ... on a side note, Turkey has come a long way since their early - mid 20th century Modernization efforts. It's good to know that the Turkish Armed Forces, Infrastructure, Educational Institutions, and Police Brigades are several shades better than their Southern Neighbors with the possible exception of Iran. Still, I don't know enough about your country to verify Turkey's strengths as a country. It does seem like there's much work to be done to improve the existing infrastructure. [b]@ Everyoneone else[/b] - That time skip is in the works and it looks like it's gonna be another ginormous outing. I was hoping Ivory, Aristo, or Nevis could make a post, but it looks like we'll be time skipping sometime into Thursday or Friday!
