As the title asks, what is the story with the Tir and Seattle nowadays?
Any high tensions leading towards war? Terrorism? Smuggling? Hows it all work (or where can I read it for myself). Thanks! |

Seattle and the Tir are not on good relations right now due to a variety of reasons.
1: Portland is an open city again, so all the shipping that was going through Seattle's harbors in the '50s and '60s dried up. 2: KENNY BRACKHAVEN is Governor of Seattle! You know, the guy whose Uncle headed the Seattle Chapter of the Humanis Policlub until he got a lethal case of dead? Yeah, he's real friendly with an elven nation run by an ork and a dragon. 3: The UCAS is probably on better terms, so tensions and war are not likely issues. Just low-level espionage. You know, business as usual. The UCAS has other concerns on their plate, and at least the Tir is a "Democracy" now. 4: The outcast Elven Princes from the Tir are in Seattle now, and they're working at trying to take back their power, you can bet on that. But even young elves from that society tend to play a looooooooooooooooooooooong game. |

Rex? Whatever became of Garth Stone anyway?
QUOTE As the title asks, what is the story with the Tir and Seattle nowadays? Well, the Tir is basically a Horizon puppet state these days. At least, Charisma (hq'd in Portland) is what keeps them going, and Cline is best buddies with Prince Zincan. So it went from pseudo-mystic elf country to ... an LA clone, essentially, with more elves. |

And I can see and interesting fight within horizon on how the Corp works it's memetic warfare to reconstruct the Tir. And The Tir Nobles that got away having something to say about that..... |

*blink* Is it just me or does Horizon now control pretty much the important places on American west coast?

Aztlan can't be liking that. CAS and the Big L on One Side. Horizon on the other.

Especially if they can do so from the Trogs and Faries to use against them. There's a bitter irony there that would make their black hearts warm.I've had it said that sometimes I'm an evil bastard. That isn't true, my parents were married for well over two years before I was born. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

No, but the Human Nation - their parent organisation, if you will - controls much of continental Europe's companies, like GENOM of Switzerland, ZIC, and also is supported covertly by forces within MCT and several Japanocorp second-rowers like Yakashima and Monobe. Also, Kenny BRackhaven himself controls much of Seattle's local economy trhough Brackhaven Investments. |

I dread that reveal, because I fear who writes it. The last two big metaplot reveals - Nadia daviar's clone army, and the potted plant war - were of the "best had never been written" cathegory. I see no way how this will turn with the current line developer.

I think it's obvious that Horizon is evil, but that whoever introduced Horizon wanted to do a Big Reveal. So until then, Horizon will smell like roses, but we all know there's gonna be thorns. I don't think any developer has tried to convince us that Horizon is really clean, just that we don't know yet what the skeletons in the closet are.

Pretty much the same way Shadowtalkers constantly remind folks that while they know what AZT is up to, to the general public, their drek don't stink.
