@ Night, I always wondered if and how much the pomp and circumstance was still a factor in the British political system. With a history and legacy like it has I always imagined it being something that was slow to fade away with time. I cannot remember what late night show in the U.S. (not exactly a source of news I know) said this but at one point someone did a pretty basic statistical poll and found that New Yorkers were more interested in the goings on of the Royal Family then most people on London. I don't know how valid it was but it was a good laugh, especially around the whole wedding and baby events. Heck, I remember I couldn't turn on the news without some update about Kate and I always thought... just how is this top-line headline news in the U.S? October and November are pretty big months for me (being Asatruar) so I am always interested in seeing if there are correlations around the world. @Arch. Having been with this story since the get go on the old site I know the feeling. This is actually one of the few things keeping me in the forum RPs. Everything I join lately (maybe it is me) dies out or just turns so... ridiculous... that I lose interest. I think this RP and its cast and my own little Sci-fi world building venture I am working on (all be it far to little) are the things that keep me here.
