If you hadn't noticed, there's a few armies kicking around Scotland at the moment. I believe they include Forbes (Clan army in Drummore, Galloway), 1st Galloway Regiment (Royal Scottish Army), 'Fury' (rogue army led by Tosher MacGregor, last heard of in Ayr City) and I hear rumours of the Glasgow Regiment (Royal Scottish Army) forming in Glasgow somewhere and Ayr Regiment (Royal Scottish Army) forming in Ayr. On top of this, an english army either in or heading to Cumberland.
Forbes army, not doing much except flexing muscle in Drummore area.
1st Galloway Regt, mustering and about to march.
Fury, recruiting in Ayr City before continuing to head South.
English army, stepping up provocative verbal threats at Captain of Galloway Regt.
Tosher army formed in Ardencaple. Gathered many thieves and rebels to its ranks. While it recruited the town was on alert and therefore lost a week's production. Glasgow Regt said it would deal with it. Galloway raised its Regiment in case Glasgow didn't. Ayr scrambled to raise its Regiment but a little hamstrung through lack of high level characters.
Tosher marched south, declaring it only wanted to get to England. English threaten scotland, saying this would be cause for war if we let Tosher through. Glasgow Regiment not formed and so Tosher gets his army out of Glasgow county. Rumours of deals being done behind this. Ayr military beg Galloway to come and help it. Ayr politicos threaten Galloway to stay out. Galloway continues to muster therefore. English start stepping up the threats.
In the Galloway Regiment at the moment the soldiers are pretty pissed that it looks like we will have to fight (and some of us will die) do defend england from invasion by scots. Those who have so far done nothing to stop Tosher's march threaten Galloway with anathema if we let Tosher through as they don't want a war with england. Ayr on high alert, Glasgow marshalling.
That's the present situation. If I had to I'd put money on it I'd say it will come down to Tosher either making a move on an Ayr town and us having to seige him out, or a battle on a node in Galloway as he makes a run for the border. Whether the english then invade will probably largely rely on how large our losses are in the fight to defend their property.
Confused? Aye. Do I sound cynical? Aye.
And all of this on top of instability in our national government (see post below).
Interesting times indeed.

We live in exciting times :). Today, I received orders from my band leader to prepare for march and to join Glasgow army. Soon (he mentioned 3-4 days)we will be heading south. A bit too late I think, but better than nothing. If you will suffer great losses, at least we could stop the englishmen when they decide to cross borders.
Everything is happening so fast, and right at the worse time forum is closed.
May be I am too naive. so we balanced
I'm trying quite desperately to avoid shedding Scottish blood.
Unfortunately this issue of the foums not working has left me out of Reading the Constitution.
So if somebody can read the emergency laws Im proposing and tell me if they are withing my rights as speaker.
Well I will be ready to face a trial, if with that I can put Tosher in Jail.

Marel, don't get too het up over Tosher and his lot. When they are gone, scotland will remain.
Forbes's have come to join with the Galloway RSA. Much needed strength.
1st Galloway marching into Ayr County at present. Sounds like a settlement might be reached before swords clash. We'll see...
And we still didnt formed Glasgow Army. Dont know what are they doing
Maerik, we'll talk about that when we catch up next I guess. Which might not be to far away because Ayr and Galloway Regiments are marching to town of Ayr today. Unless Tosher has laid down his arms by then I think we are coming after him through Lanark and Largs.
It seems there's a few Glaswegians who have joined up with the Ayr Regiment, by the way...
Yes, two groups from Ardencaple are on the road.
Darn it. If only I hadnt talked to my superiors, but now I dont have any option just to wait for army to assemble. I already gave my word
Anyway, be carefull. There were some people killed as they tried to go through Toshers army. Tosher has baricaded the road
Aye, to be true I'd suggest that glaswegians in glasgow consider preparing to defend their towns, and definitely make sure you don't go near the main combat zone unless in a strong army group.
Galloway and Ayr Regiments are now out for blood.
I have some problems to connect our clans forum, so I will be writing here (if you dont mind)
Lfa has gone to retreat as you probably know, and because he was forming Glasgow army , I dont think there is any hope we are there on time. Conchoblor (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) is taking a group down on tuesday and theres a big chance Ill be amongs "the chosen" (due to high stats)
Id also like to know more about whats going on down there, so feel free to post some updates on situation :).
P.S.: I appology for any gramatical/spelling mistakes done.
Lots of people left behind to defend the towns. We are in Lanark. But may not get to combat because, we are waiting for swords and shields from Dom.
You should have told it earlier. I could make you a sword, but because I took job already, I wont be able to finish it on time (I have some parts of sword ready).
Anyway, we are departing south tomorrow after reset. Hope to see you all soon
it might be all over by the time you get here. At present there are three armies in muirkirk, Fury is in power and Galloway and Ayr Regiments are storming the wall by this coming reset. That's the plan, anyway. I think we have the numbers if they haven't got a lot of poor deluded peasants to defend the walls. Should be a lot of blood, and not a few casualties. Just be careful. My greetings to Conch, btw.
Darn, I am in Lanark. Waiting for Dom. May be a while before war comes around again. Seems as I wont get to see it this time.
Also, I was voted to council. Yuki just informed me I can't leave. Darn, Darn, Darn. Which means some in my group are going to be pissed. Cause they are on council now also.
Congrat's on the council. Things still are in flux in muir. I'd advise ppl to remain on alert in towns of lanark and Ayr.
gotta run. on crap pay as you go cafe
Drac, Marel resigned after you signed the petition. She takes it personally when anyine of os sign it.
I tried explaining this to her before. She won't budge.
She is on our clan. The fact that she is there she thinks rage should have consulted with her before putting up his petition. then each of us should have told her before we signed it. Now you being chief should have discussed it with her.
It's her way of thinking and I cant change her mind. We are family and we are not supporting her is how she takes it.
oh gosh dont post in the first 15 minutes of waking up. Please excuse my typos.
No insult taken on my part from the way we've been treated either. *Sigh*
This is why I've always been dubious about clans mixing with politics. People end up confusing a clan with a political machine or power base. I can't see a clan lasting long that has that approach unless it is run like a political machine or powerbase.
I'm sorry for all the distress this is causing some of us. These are not easy times. I'll post sometime when I have more time.
