Re: Michele Bachmann is now a Swiss citizen

As she applied for foreign citizenship, her United States citizenship can be revoked. Basically, the next time she has one of her flip-outs where she vows to leave the country because it is ruled by Communist Nazis, the State Department can determine that to be "intent to renounce" and str...

Re: SDNW5 Map Discussion Thread

If the Dwarven Conclave's 6 sectors could be added to the map, it would be appreciated. I'm even less picky now than I was previously. Just stick'em anywhere in any pattern.
