Holy cow.

I know, right?

Maybe it's just an awkward coincidence?
And anyways, as far as I know there were two versions of the IRA. The first one wasn't a terrorist organization.

Yeah... pIRA to be exact, but yeah... The Troubles may have been a long time ago for some of you but for others not nearly long enough.
Either way when you say IRA the first things that goes through my mind isn't my financial future.

Hold the phone, those buggers shot at me and thier *cough* girlfriends/wifes *cough* threw bricks and petrol bombs. Not on my best friends list.......
In all seriousness, i think its best to hold of on faction creations till the new update comes out bud because i think a whole new avenue of rp will be created.
Edit: And a bit more research into names might be good :D

I woke up to... the IRA....
the I...R...A...
I could point to the history of that name and why it would be inappropriate, how people on both sides of a very delicate argument could get the wrong idea...
but I won't.
I could point out that it would be really cool if you wanted to work with us, inside of the Ontario system, giving us your support and your wealth of ideas instead...
but you know that.
I could just sit here with a cup of coffee and do my best to wake up...
yeah I like that option best.

Historical significance, and obvious political connotations, is a factor in politely telling you to re-name this
please.

I would really appreciate you changing this name, really, really appreciate it. On a complaints to the Admins level. I lost family to the IRA, sooner not be reminded of that more often than I am already.
