Here's my response to the action results. I'm going off with my family 
to my grandmother's for Christmas, leaving on the 24th, and I will 
probably be out of touch until at least Tuesday or Wednesday, possibly 
longer. I'm not sure of the exact time, because my grandfather died this 
past year, and my mom's going to be helping my grandmother sort through 
his things, and we're not sure how long that's going to take.

In a surprise upset, the Constitutional Monarchists make great gains in 
the Commoners' Circle. Twenty of the twenty-three Vizinian seats go to 
the CMs, and they pick up all six Imperial Loyalist seats, six of twelve 
seats held by the War Party, 38 of 76 Grangist seats, and twenty of the 
Urban League's 112 seats. The other three Vizinian seats all fall into 
the Urban League's column.

As for the 22 new Vizinian seats in the Nobles' Circle, they are split 
into 11 Constitutional Monarchists, 6 Grangists, 1 Urban League, and the 
remainder independent.

The distribution of seats in the Commons for the next five years will be 
as follows:

Urban League:	95
The Grange:	38
War Party:	 6
ConstMonarch:  105	

As a result of the election, a major reshuffle of the Inner Council 
occurs.  Dr. Ardin Vellin is forced to resign as First Councilor and is 
replaced by the Count of Rochlyn, the leader of the Constitutional 
Monarchists.  The Count retains his position as Minister of War.  Dr. 
Vellin takes over the position of Interior Minister from Roald Kellner, 
who becomes the Urban League's Chief Whip in the Commoner's Circle.

Theran Rinn, the former Foreign Minister, lost his seat in the election, 
and is replaced on the Inner Council by the Constitutional Monarchist 
Councilor Roger Finn of Zayura.  Tomar Grade, the Urban League Minister 
of the Exchequer, is replaced by the Duke of Tirroth, a Constitutional 
Monarchist, who is one of the wealthiest men in Cedonia.  The Grangist 
leader, Tomas Yorke, stays on as Minister of Agriculture, while 
Archprelate Thandra Ellas and Councilor Raden Ghere remain as Minister 
of Justice and Minister for Special Projects, respectively.

The force realignment is completed. A system of reserve cadres for 
faster mobilization is set up, while the regular army is reequipped. 
Additional cavalry auxilia are recruited and deployed to the northern 
border--many of these units are in essence Home Defence forces, 
consisting of Selarians guarding their own homes.

"It seems that for every advance we make, we take a step back."

"Yes, sir. We have agents in place, and ways to communicate that are 
reasonably secure . . . but finding persons skilled in the more . . . 
esoteric aspects of espionage is rather difficult."

"Well, perhaps the . . . new blood we're bringing in will help sort 
things out.  We shall see."
