At the time of the [MR]'s breakup i was a Molly in Dublin with just enough understanding of the rp to know to shoot the Baffers.
So no, i was never in the Republic.
The use of the [MR] tag is another example of my going all out and attempting to relate my current character to the past history of the Faction, and then it taking on a life of its own.
I have no illusions about the Republic coming back and we kicking butt, but i think we could provide another slice of Mollydom that has it's own little flavor.
As for my unquestioning optimism, i hope we can at least establish a small strike force to make London and Cambridge and Leeds more interesting.
And yes, this is a RP alt.
