Greetings Cyberverse,

Good riddance to that Rush and Mandellav guy, now maybe such luminaries as Schatt, SCY, and Charles Stuar will view us more favorably (I almost puked while typing this.)

While you continue to bump your gums under that affiliation, I seriously doubt it.

Can we get a tl;dr? :v:

Seriously looks good though

Thank you.

tl;dr of the change is that we no longer have a Senate and in its place is a Council of Triumvirs and Ministers that gathers when required(the occasions formerly falling into the Senate jurisdiction).

It's cute to see the subtle poking at those who do not favor the hipster bloc. Was starting to think the "lol we don't care what u think, we do it for d lulz" mantra was dying out.

Congrats on your charter change and leadership shuffling. Hopefully it will treat you to a better path and direction going forward.
