but was truly instituted by Northeast Speaker and Lieutenant Governor Alfred F. Jones

This is all wrong. The rest: I approve.

Breaking
According to sources, the Labor conspiracy to conquer the IDS and install their own regime was not instituted by Alfred F. Jones. Speculation suggests it was masterminded by a key Labor figure, who utilized IDS Legislator Adam Griffin as an inside man in the region to help the takeover go smoothly.

Unfortunately, this is also all wrong.

How'd it increase by 300%? If we assume it started with 1 (you) and is now at 3 (you, Seatown, Opebo), then that's 200%. If it started at nothing and ended with 3, that's a ... ∞% increase and I have a new thing to shout about!

Labor in the IDS has grown by ∞% in the last few months!
Also, further stuff: the Laborites don't even swear oaths like the rest of us! Compare.

1 x 300% = 3

That's multiplication; it's a percent increase, so an increase from '1' to '3' is an increase of 2, and 2 is 200% of what you started with. So the increase was 200% of what you started with.

Meh, whatever. Tongue I was never good at the nuances of math. I'll let Count Von Count take over:



1! 2! 3 times as many! (Although ∞% does make keeping count a lot easier)
