Much love for our little buddies at Guru Order.

It's a tarp?

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Marbury's taking my minutes

You know the Dutch elect good leaders.

Everyone look at your hands

So, if I may summarize what's going on: Someone is on a number of ZI lists, and was released from a large portion of that number. One alliance, however, did not release the individual. The individual was not aware of this, and applied to an alliance, who was also not aware of it. That alliance, upon finding out about the presence of said list, went to private channels with the alliance whose list he is on. While these discussions were going on, that individual chose to make a thread about it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the sort of thing which normally is greeted by a chorus of "you should take it to private channel"s? Which, of course, is only exacerbated because it was already in those private talks. Even more to the point, not a single person from the alliance that is being applied to has spoken in this thread - presumably because they're already attempting to work out the problem in private channels. I suggest that everyone do the logical thing and allow the alliances actually involved to work out the issue in private, instead of arguing over matters which don't directly concern you, like would generally be done for a thread like this. ZI lists are always a difficult issue, because one of the unspoken rules is that if you want your own to be honored, it is necessary to abide by those that others hold. No alliance would appreciate another alliance accepting a member on their list - Zenith understands this, which is why the instant response from their leader upon discovering the issue was to contact GOD directly, in private, just as any other alliance who found themselves in this position would do. We should let them do their work.

I'm a free ant! And my ganglia are my own. Don't care where the nest was, I know where I'm going, out!

The colony received reports of a discarded pastry in sector 19, and my line was sent to investigate. Something just didn't feel right, but I followed marching orders. As we approached, I heard #814 exclaim in shock "That's no moon pie!". I tried to warn everyone, but it was too late they were all ensnared in the web. We lost some good ants. #124, #241, #344, #378, #399, #410, #418, #458, #516, #717, #888, #898, and #1002 you will be missed.
