    Well any limit has to be at least 2, and we're only 2 FCs, so... your logic skills are a bit lacking, aren't they?

    Yes because with a social group/mob who clings to mass amounts of members to flourish and diversify the number one priority is to stagnate or not keep expanding once all your current community members are together. Perhaps your mob group won't grow, but there's others complaining about applications they can't accept because they're just too big.

    Rarely have any of the goon/mob guilds in previous MMOs reached an equilibrium and stopped growing. There's always new members like locusts to grow the swarm.

    It is my thread, I like to post in my thread to be helpful to people.
    I am sorry if my language comes off as diplomatic for you, as one of the ways you manage to represent large groups of people is you speak in a careful way that is sensitive to the needs and wants of others.

    I would like to offer you my personal tutoring, in public communication

    You're doing ok here by using qualifying statements but this seems like it could be interpreted as mean, perhaps even anachronistic in that we wouldn't recruit when we have too many people already? Also I must insist that you stop referring to the organization as a mob as PBC/DGKK is not:

    1: a large or disorderly crowd; especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action

    2: the lower classes of a community : masses, rabble

    I hope this has been as rewarding an experience for you as it has for me!

    4. the common people; the masses; populace or multitude.

    Since you want to argue semantics. So yes, I will keep referring to PBC/DGKK/Goon/Whatever extraordinarily large FC as a mob.

    Also, you should learn the difference between denotation and connotation in specific regards to the politician / mouth speaker statement.

    In any case, enjoy your soon-to-be mob alliance!

    Yep, you sound pretty amused to me. I'll venture a guess and say you've been amused by goons before.
