 		Update: So, Grotian theory comes from this guy Hugo Grotius....according to wikipedia (the source of all knowledge >.<) 'he laid the foundations for international law, based on natural law.'

So, that probably has nothing to do with anything, but Grotian is an interesting word to use as the name for an organisation. It must mean something..

 		yay for twitter! following Selvin/Melvin now, wonder when he will post. I liked the idea of using the coded "grotian" in the @reply to his twitter, hopefully he will bite and lead us on.

uhm.. if youre going to cut and paste my tweet, you should probably cut and paste my corrected one because i added an extra number somewhere then caught it. :/ ....

Edit: duh, i got the number wrong twice. i think its time for bed. sorry selvin/melvin, it's late....

Yeah. I mean, they could have just chosen it cause it sounded cool....but I doubt it. (If they did though...then I'll feel like a bit of an idiot later on ^.^)

 		@disza: Good work on finding Selvin's twitter.

I'm following now. I do hope this has something to do with Junko... but if not, that's ok too. Wink

 		Hopefully this Selvin is just making fun of Melvin with that name, otherwise it's an inside job....

On that, I just wrote this:

You know, the more I think about it, the more skeptical I am. I mean, just because you change some letters around in your name and put up a new fancy (albeit quite cool, and dare I say, bold) logo, does that really mean that you're going to bring change? How am I going to be sure that you have the people's best interests in mind, hm?


In contrast to my earlier email to the gateway:

Quote:
Kudos to you and your crack team of take-over-ers. The cushy purity talk and all that party orthodoxy made me a skeptic... Never mind those soft pastel colors completely turned my stomach. Now you folks, you look like good people, if your logo is any indication. Would love to join your campaign as a runner, spy, or general ne'er-do-well. Please advise.


I didnt get into the transition villages, but i assume these folks still have a sense of humor. Fingers crossed.

 		Alright if you want to follow the Grotius trail... here's a link to one of his more famous works "On The Law of War and Peace"... from 1625... Good luck!

http://www.constitution.org/gro/djbp.htm

The funny thing is that I found this fromfrom this site which I think is The US Airforce acadamy's site... it's on page 11 talking about the enviromental impacts of war... definitly OOG but still really interesting and Grotius specific:
