We only got one payment from them, and it was two months late. Bastards."

Martial Law on the Mailing List [November 3]
Update: Martial law was rescinded on friday, November 3, and psoting returned to normal. Support for martial law when invoked was universal among those whop bothered to reply.

Following a resurgence of the religious debate and a small portion of the list degenerating into flaming for the second time since September, the Imperial Mailing List was placed under martial law. All posts were set to be routed to the Emperor or another moderator before reaching the list. Plans are for the list to resume normal activity by the end of the week.
