The Republic of Southern Camaris wishes to make public their claims to
  certain lands on the south coast of the Continent of Camaris.

The RSC hereby lays claim to all provinces on the continent of Camaris
  that lie south of and including the lines from fv70 to fh80, fh80
  to fh86, and fh86 to fn90.

While we have not yet garrisoned all of these provinces, we have
  sufficient factions in the Republic's membership that we will
  require this much space at a minimum, so we claim them now to
  avoid future conflict with any neighbors. If you are located near
  us, please contact us so we might establish mutually acceptable
  boundaries.

We feel that these boundaries represent only a small part of the
  continent of Camaris, and are not unreasonable in their extent.
  The RSC reserves the right to expand these claims in the future.

We ask that others refrain from building or garrisoning on these
  lands, and that any who wish to travel in these provinces contact
  us so that we may know who is within our boundaries

                                 Rumors



   Flengi has a house?



And you call yourselves crabs!  I'm ashamed of you.



   Yvengi is a louse!



Like an obelisk towards which the principal streets of a town converge,
the strong will of a proud spirit stands prominent and commanding in the
middle of the art of war.



War everywhere!?  Ahh!




The mouth of south is back! This week he is still annoyed with the weather
boys, but even more so with the banner posting rookies. They have forgotten:
laugh for we are pathetic



Arrrggghhh! Don't you just hate it when that happens?



        "Who is Yvengi?
        Why is he a louse?
        What is his side of the story?"
