The North Wind will blow.

Iscariot...to bring innocents into any battle is disgusting, of course. I am shocked by people's suggestions that I would ever support them. As an attempt to discredit my writings it is nowhere near the best I have read. I am entitled to have my own beliefs without siding with anyone.

But we should not allow thier existance to lionize the Victorian Company. The Company are not victims of terror, innocent people are. They are not our allies. They will save no one.

They have had opporunities to save this town. Should they withdraw, there is little doubt that Iscarot would do likewise. Instead they have filled this town with thier men. A direct challenge. They have proven willingness to turn this town into a battlefield for the sake of profit. To them you are worth only the contents of thier wallet.

For further proof, one only needs to look to the good priest. He has housed those who lost thier homes in the december bombing, he has sheleted the orphans iscariot has left. He, not the Victorian Company, has been this town's only ally. And what have they done? They have slaughtered his neice. A child, no less! And after forcing her to witness the deaths of her mother and father, also at thier bloodstained hands.

They are not our ally. We have seen them persecute the one man who was. Iscariot are evil men but the Company have no less blood on thier hands.

And in closing, accusing anyone who stands against them of being a member of Iscariot is in horrendously poor taste and dishonours the memory of the many who have lost thier lives to a war that the company seems only too happy to perpetuate.

...To aspire toward monopoly in even one business is not only greedy and unethical, it prevents progress. In any area, be it philosophy, sport or business, competition is the key to innovation and improvement. If the Victorian Company are allowed to have a monopoly in multiple businesses across Account then we as a Country will fade into obscurity. Businesses will fail. We will lose wars if the Company is allowed to continue because they will force us into stagnancy while other countries become greater. Supporting the Victorian Company today is supporting invading soldiers tomorrow. Giving them your money today is giving up your land tomorrow. The Victorian Company will destroy Account if permitted to continue.
