It's a militairy Term, I think Defcon-1 is a state of war, they range from Defcon-5 (I think) to Defcon-1 (1 the highest and 5 the lowest) US militairy uses it to determine security and defense proceedings.

gallador....you have to realise...you're not quite in a position to threatening a character. as i have replied to you....this is a division in the group....namely against galder and rianna.
and takuan will not take sides. but if takuan feels you'll be taking the offense against him.....then we'll have to settle it the old fashioned way
NOTE: i REALLY appreciate the social change in the story...gives it a lil bit more drama. so....if Takuan doesn't like it much( because he has realised that a grab for power in this group isn't feasible) it doesn't mean I don't like it .
so it'll be interesting seeing it sorted out.
Hey, I'm happy enough. Personally, I think the new 'edginess' is far better, dramatically, than the unhappiness of organisation before- aside from anything else, the blame doesn't get all lumped on just one poor sod any more.

I know what you're up to, and since you're talking of sending PMs and I never got one, that just banishes any doubt I had....
BTW, you do realize that if anyone else doesn't like what you're trying to do you stand no chance....
(personally I'm loving all this internal plotting and power-play attempts that are going on, it amuses me immensely and I'm really surprised that none of it was going on before.)
I am full of surprises! Working hard to improve our group`s efficiency.

Gallador doesn`t like fighting. He would prefer a board game contest.

Rianna has the intelligence for such things, just not the patience. Plus she doesn't care. She knows there are more 'direct' ways of settling a dispute.
BTW, do not take the fact that Rianna is very single-minded to mean that she's not smart. She is simply very stubborn and once she's set on something won't give up.
Or there are other methods. Honorable fight is a very foolish concept in some circumstances.
