mteague93 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Today marks a new day and a new challenge for City of Rapture. Ada069 (Thunderstruck) and Engel have too much on there plate in real life to be running an alliance.

Today CoR annonces a new Charter, a Charter which will take us into the future and forget the bumpy past for our alliance. Preamble:Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man in Washington; it belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican; it belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow; it belongs to everyone. We rejected those answers.
