Michael von Prussia Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Protocols for Espiowhat? I'm fairly confident that almost all OWF actives would think of the Purple Economic Acceleration & Collaborative Entente instead of whatever that is whenever the abbreviation in question is mentioned. Let's try not to mislead folks here, mmkay? Technically, treaties such as the one mentioned were around before the PEACE bloc. In other words, Purple - and you - are misleading folks.
