The board is set... the pieces are moving

It is clear now that new alliances have been drawn, and once again, the game will reach a stand still until another person decides to make a treacherous move. The armies of the east, led by Bill "Mr. Photoshop" Gerrard with his puppet Larry, and his minion Craig will crash against the armies of the west, led Tom "Mastermind of Evil" Mullane, with his puppet Damian, and his new ally of chance, Owen. One can only guess who will turn on his ally first. Who will take the chance. Only one thing is clear, someone will be stabbed in the back, and I can only hope we will see another Caesar-like photoshop from Bill, regardless of what side of the stabbing he falls on.

Russia may be dead, but her legacy of betrayal shall live on...

And then there was one


And here I go again on my own going down the only road i've ever known like a drifter I was born to walk alone....I am so alone right now

R.I.P.
