Well, RUP went off the deep end and a bunch of people left it, so everyone calls them AUP now (Authoritarian Unity Party)
The Nerd party grew.
The HCP party absorbed most of the fleeing RUP members.
A new party called the Common Sense Party has emerged.
IG has been abusing mod so he had it taken away (I'm temp mod now)
Envoy stepped down as owner.
That's all the major stuff I can think of.
