you would be shocked to find out how many nobles in the moot and SA oppose SA and actually support stemming its gargantuan growth.
Actually, I would not be all that surprised about it. Most of us are quite certain that there are a significant number of members that are actually plants/spies/etc. It doesn't take much to figure this out. Just say something bad about Mendicant, or about attacking Aurvandil, in the Full Members channel, and chances are that in a few days someone will slip you a letter about how someone in Aurvandil is laughing it up at that letter. We've kicked out a few obvious spies/plants, but we all know there are more.
