One really does need to be literal to the point of obtuseness in 2017.
The point of this topic is to highlight how horribly stagnant the colonies are and have been due to the OT super alliance.
Truth be told I like the colonies for a lot of reasons but they suck right now and as usual in BM the few players who have a desire to change things dont have the numbers or the resources to change anything.
This topic was meant to segue into a conversation on how to change that.
Segue.
