2/10, not impressed. When it comes to scathing short responses, Dyakovo is the superior of you in every single respect. Better get back to the training grounds and work on your snark.

Yeah but I remembered the ones I actually cared about or whose company I enjoyed. I'm sure once I see Daykovov's flag I'll remember or not.

Region is not Dyakovo, since Dyakovo is an individual.

Well, I'm not sure if we can afford to have you around any longer. It's nothing personal, so don't feel too bad about it.

I run around with a Nixon flag, defending conservative views more often than not despite my party affiliation and I tend to be crass, rude, and lewd. So don't worry. Taking stuff personally went out the door a long time ago.
