Degenerate108 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 A green alliance with a purple protectorate? Whats the matter, couldn't find anyone on your own color to deal with you? Indeed it would have nothing to do with wishing to remain green and having a completely neutral alliance protect us while we grew. For the record we're for green stability as much any anyone else and are looking forward to working with our green counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
