You know, back during the Carter and Reagan administrations, when I was young, I was what was known as a "Kremlin-watcher-in-training." Unofficially, of course; I was still a teenager, and in college. It just evolved into a hobby of mine, watching for every pronouncement of the leadership in Moscow, and reading between the lines, to discern what they really meant.
I was pretty good at it, but then Reagan and Bush toppled the Soviet empire before I had a chance to make a career out of it, and so such "watching" skills and talents atrophied until Skins's island emerged from under the water back in early 2001.
Based upon recent mischief afoot on Skins's island, to me, there appears to be not one, but three, potential palace coups in the making, and my fellow alum Skins needs to watch his back.
The primitive conspirators are many, but the leaders of all three factions are easily identifiable; there's the BainsBane primitive who wishes to become empress, absolute ruler, of Skins's island, there's MrsCorpio, who wishes to turn Skins's island into a blacks-only republic, and there's Wills, the "William769" primitive, who lusts to become queen of a fairyland Skins's island.
Wait, watch, and see if I'm not right.
