Do you know what I think.  I think it is old discussion and that we have
to forget about it.  Of course some people wil favor a ceratin
stronghold over the other for their reasons and the way theu play.  It
doesn't matter that we all have to bring in the same strongholds at
SaM.  As long as we win honorably.  Yes even THC is considered
honorable.  Hey I don't see the shadowlands and corrupt stuff there. 
Just tattooes!!!  What's so bad about tattooes?
