Just FYI...that quote was from John Stuart Mill in 1862. He was in England trying to bolster support for the Union troops in America's Civil War....it's one of Mike Cantrell's (char: Mikolas) favorite quotes of all time. -- Uceek 05:11, 24 November 2006 (CET)

Wow! The very best propaganda I have seen for long time! Even better than my favorite tabloid "Avamar Times". Keep up the good work. Finally the Rampant Lion becomes popular Liberator 23:37, 18 January 2007 (CET)

This newspaper hurts to read now. I once held Perdan to be the most honorable, benevolent, and faithful realm still standing in the East Continent. I actually believed the slogan of the Rampant Lion, that Perdan would always stand by the weak, the oppressed, those faced by the great tyrants who would destroy those for their own gain. Damn it Perdan! You believed those lies, and look at this now! Yes, the Islands are being led into ruin and destruction, you have stated examples in your article. Then why would you forsake your principles and side with the conniving snakes!? How could you Perdan? Elenar 04:40, 19 January 2007 (CET)

Elenar, you need to brush up on your reading comprehension. We seek justice. If the actions of a realm are unjust, deceitful, and destructive, then they do not deserve to be defended. No, Elenar, you are not the one that needs defending in this case. You yourself are the deceiver and the manipulator. Perdan would not stand behind a horse thief, and so neither would we stand behind the current Kalmar Islands government. Oligarch used to be a friend and ally of the Kalmar Islands. When El Cid Rogala stole the islands in a brutal rebellion, the entire island rose up in condemnation of the acts. Everyone, that is, except the Avamarians, who decided that this would be a great opportunity to steal a realm for themselves. So they abandoned the allies that had given them shelter. They ran from Oligarch as fast as their traitorous feet could carry them, taking with them hundreds of Oligarch troops, and weakening Oligarch's defenses in those final days of invasion by Sirion and Fontan. What a great way to pay back your friends for sheltering you, and giving you a chance to strike back at your enemies. The Avamarians usurped the government of the Islands from the Tyrant, and refused to return it to it's rightful nobles and government. Justice in the islands can only be reached by removing the stain and corruption of the occupying forces. That is what we are doing in the islands. Fulfilling our promise to the nobles of the Kalmar Islands that we made as soon as the rebellion of El Cid was complete. Our promise and commitment to the rightful inhabitants of the islands has nothing to do with Sirion, Fontan, or our recently concluded war. Your attempts to cloud the issue by making all sorts of wild accusations fools no one other than your own brainwashed citizens. Perdan will lead the islands out of their current destruction and ruin. But we will do it our way. And that way does not include a future of servitude under the control of the Avamarians. --Indirik 15:48, 19 January 2007 (CET)

Allow me to say that this is a hideous lie. Avamarians gave everything for Oligarch. They took over regions from Old Rancagua and Fontan for their new realm and friend. Namely Evora, Gadlock, Kazan, Poitiers were all taken by volunteer units commanded by Amraedil, Pontifex of Avamar Selective for some time. He left, like his comrades only AFTER Oligarch fell, apart only few who left earlier trying to solve the situation in Kalmar Islands while Perdan wasn't giving a damn. And they did solve it. Unfortunately Perdan later on, solved its own problems as well and decided to gget an easy victory against Kalmar. The only thing I regret is that while I was ruler of Kalmar Islands and Perdan was gangbanged by 4 realms (not five like what happens in Kalmar now) I didn't press an attack on Perdan. What a pitty to see such gratefulness as return. Anyway, mistakes are not made twice, are they? Dimitris 06:07, 21 January 2007 (CET)Dimitris

Amreadil didn't, so no one did it, is that what you're trying to say? Perhaps you don't know the whole sordid history of the rebellion and the following events that ended with the islands in Avamar hands. Kalmar Rebellion. There are numerous Avamar members that deserted Oligarch before it fell. They deserted Oligarch in its hour of greates need, and took several thousand CS of troops with them to the islands. You see, I know, because I was there, in the islands, watching it all happen. I chronicled the events, and did extensive research after it happened. You're wrong on so many accounts. Perdan did give a damn. We were shocked at the brutality of the rebellion. We were disgusted that so many Avamarians, who we considered friends, betrayed that friendship and took over the islands, a former colony and ally of Perdan. Avamar didn't go into the islands to solve the El Cid Tyranny problem. They went into the islands to take it over. They did take it over. It is unfortunate that, at the time, there was nothing Perdan could do about, as were fighting for our own survival. Well, we managed to survive, and now we can fulfill our promise to Old Rancagua, and to the rightful occupants of the Islands. And the result is what you see now. Avamar usurped the realm, and now they pay the price for that crime. And you are correct. Mistakes will not be made twice. The Avamarians had their chance to make things right. They refused. So it is now time for us to see that it is made right, despite the Avamarian complaints. --Indirik 07:56, 21 January 2007 (CET)
So, is it what you are trying to say that ALL Avamarians left Oligarch to join rebellion? Because I guess that you are talking about some people that were later expelled from Kalmar and then executed or deported. From the same people that you accuse now. And by the way I was there as well, as Lalakis went to fix things up. And under his preassure all bans had been lifted and all colonists were invited back. Instead Old Rancagua and Perdan preffered to destroy completely the realm and instead of a puppet colony receive a completely destroyed bunch of land. Not very wise strategically I would say...Dimitris 17:32, 21 January 2007 (CET)
