NR - An opinion from the Southern Region...

[John Ruble]

For better or worse, we have made an impression on the rest of the kingdom.
Here's something that was posted on the Southern mailing list (and cross

Ahh!  Word fame!  The highest form of praise.  The North is viewed as an
example.  Who'd have thunk it?  Whether we in the North ever turn in to a
Principality or not,  we who have been playing recently have left an
impression on the rest of the kingdom, a strong impression of group
identity.

Everyone keep it up, and maybe they'll start asking us for advice! :)
