Dear Friends,
This thread has served its purpose, the statements have been made, and I hope anyone reading it understood what it was really about.
But all good things come to an end, and you can only poke so much fun at emperors and dynasties.
I thank all of you for your participation. When the time comes again, you will receive messages in your mooncakes (or mooncups) and the empire will strike back.
Yours,
Emperor
