Ok, ML4E, how much of this article is legit? TR 18:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, Common Sense is a publication in "The Two Georges" and considered by many the unofficial voice of the Sons of Liberty. It's name probably comes from Paine's pamphlet. The rest, fanfic as near as I can recall. I don't even remember Paine ever being mentioned or referred to indirectly.

Oh and there is AH in the book, called "Scientific Romance" novels. Bushell reads one called United Colonies Triumphant on a train trip from QCIs to The Six Nations. It depicts an independent NAU coming to the rescue of the former Mother Country from the threat of a (most absurdly and improbably) re-unified German state bent on world domination.

I remember the twee AH stuff. Just quickly, was there a "Radical Party"? TR 04:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I find his twee A-AH stories-within-stories quite irritating. Turtle Fan 04:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't recall one way or the other. There have been mentions of the Tories and of the Independance Party. I have a vague recollection of at least one other party being named when Bushell arrives in Victoria but I'm not positive.
The tweeisms are fine with me but I find them ammusing. ML4E 22:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It is now gutted. TR 22:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

8 years after this page was lasted used, I just read T2G and didn't see any indication that Paine wrote CS in that timeline, or a reference to Paine at all. I think his T2G section should be removed.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 21:04, February 8, 2016 (UTC)
If there were no references, then yes, he should be taken out of T2G. I honestly can't remember as I read T2G about 17 years ago, long before this wiki existed. Early on we gave a lot more latitude to such articles. TR (talk) 04:19, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
