(2.x End SPOILERS) That's about seven shades of fouled up...

[Starcade]

I want to make it clear. I HATE THIS 1000 character limit. This is to Lilirulu's post on page 1.

Anyway:

1) What's to say, if the Garleans pay the Monetarists enough, that getting that foothold and an imminent attack is exactly what the Monetarists want?

As far as the other two leaders, if anyone thinks they aren't in league with the Scions, they aren't paying attention.

2) Martial law. Anyone who doesn't move on the WoL probably dies at the hands of the Monetarists.

3) Yes they did.

4) I don't know which is the bigger mistake: The Crystal Braves not killing Alphinaud (as the WoL's one remaining ally) or Ilberd not executing Raubahn.

6) Rowena is fleeing to Ishgard in 3.0.
