''In The Face Of Absurdity'' was the original meeting place of the [[First Congressmoot on Succession]], back when hopes were high that this whole mess could be resolved ''that'' easily, and even as the talks deteriorated was viewed as 'our last, best hope for peace'. The full story of the First 'Moot is best told by someone else, but it got ''wild.'' We all know how it ended, of course, with the Voice For Iridium delivering the [[Mai's Insult|now-immortal Insult]] and eir subsequent defenestration, but it was a mess of increasing desperation, tension, and enmity long before then. Bless them, they tried their hardest.
