Current events - outbreak of civil war?

I'll do my best to summarise present situation as I see it.

Julius Campbell has kicked off what looks like becoming a civil war by making a grab for power in forums and ingame. To do this he has assumed that those who support the idea of a monarchy or a regency will go along with him. I think he is finding out that those of us who are royalists hate dictatorship as much as the best of the republicans. As a result, he is aligning with and recruiting outlaws and bandits into the army which he had the control of due his captaincy of the galloway regiment. No doubt, he is using his charm to bring in ignorant RSA members to fight for him, and those of his clan who would put their name above the good of the land.

Ragehammer has been made interim general for galloway regiment, which is the forum equivalent of the ingame captain (I guess). He is marshalling troops but things are a bit of a mess so he has his work cut out. The folk of dumfries and kirk will be on their own until the legitimate army under Rage can come to their rescue.

Just to make things interesting, there are intelligence reports of an english army lurking just south of the border.

In the Northern Counties, Ayr and Glasgow are rallying their armies. By the time they are strong enough to crush the rebels (and crush them they will) the first battles of dumfries and kirk will likely have occurred. I'm not sure about Clan Forbes, or whether their clan army is able to be of use in this situation or not.

So, you picked a nice time to look at the countryside Robin!

I'm not so sure, Drac. I think my escort has left the RSA and gone to his uncle's side...and I'm stuck in Girvan.

I wanna come home...

We'll be coming through in three days. We'll keep a spot for you if you're still there and you still want to return.

I've already left. I hate traveling. I will be in Wiggy tonight, Whithorn tomorrow night, and dynamite probably couldn't move me from my cottage and front porch after that.
