Oh, I think it deserved a good deal of praise! (Thinks: So that's what a Trotsky
looks like: small, bearded and intense! Why am I unsurprised?)

Yes, yes, yes! Heap shame upon our heads. But did you see how many uses of her
'bonk men insensible' ability she had? I had to use up my IRON WILL to stop her
learning my darkest secret. And another special card to stop Sor-Eel bonking her
in the middle of Red Square.

Well, this was put forward as a theory at the Cultural Exchange. I myself am
quite enamoured of the idea that the Vadeli break off from the Brithini quite
early on and at first at least they were simply following 'the logical thing to
do. Greg seemed to be saying that they were a response to the evil in the
universe. I think I was implying that 'evil' existed as a possible logical path
from very early on in the devolution of the Westerners from the First Cause.
I would say that the immortal sea-going, nearly-extinct Vadeli are unemotional.
I'm quite willing to say that the few land-based degenerate remnants are willing
to enjoy what they are up to.
