I am utterly unsurprised that negotiating with Fark has been a headache. I recall them being one of the most annoying alliances to communicate with during the TOP-C&G conflict (one of the Fark reps tried, but the other two were complete tools). I generally like FAN, and I understand their pride, but you guys are getting pretty lenient terms. You've lost the war. You guys have nothing to prove, so I'm not sure what the big deal is.
@Brehon: You apologise too much. Owning up to mistakes is great, but the fact that you made a mistake doesn't mean you shouldn't tighten things up in negotiations if Fark and FAN won't play ball. Hopefully that's what the Thursday ultimatum refers to.
