The Grey Wardens | We're Your Daddy

Postby Tim-Opolis » Sun Jun 18, 2017 11:28 pm

Daddy's home, kids


Happy Fathers Day To All!

The Grey Wardens had a festive day being your Daddy, and we're happy to say it went well. It ended with a great barbecue at Kandarin's Grill, where Lily, our favorite child, got to eat for free. Hydra didn't show up to dinner, but he's been sleeping through it a lot lately. Hawky skulked in the corner because he's the reason mommy and daddy aren't together anymore, and everyone knows it. Eleven delicious dishes were defended by our stomachs today, with a rousing song of fatherhood from the Spear Danes Acapella to end the day. We wrote down some jokes on paper to tell you guys, but they were are tearable. Nonetheless, we were successful tonight, despite some people showing up late. Altmoras took his time because his bike wouldn't stand up by itself. Apparently it was two-tired. In conclusion, for all you orphaned raiderkids out there, just remember that we're your daddy.

Remember kids, sometimes Daddy's discipline is harsh. But he still loves you all.

If Grey Wardens are my father, who on earth is my mother? I mean, what sane woman would sleep with TGW?
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

Quite frankly, TGW's brand of humor is too distasteful for me.

Gonna have to learn to handle spice, son. Isn't distasteful, just too hot. Now go eat your reports or no libs for dessert.

I, for one, demand an immediate DNA test of the entire regional composition of the gameplay world to validate the Grey Wardens' claims that they are the father of orphaned raider children. It might not be pretty, but it'll be a damn sight prettier than the modern day, what with the almost mafia-like state of affairs on the field and the dubious-quality family tree made as a result of events off it.

Only one of the four regions pictured above is old enough to have even hit middle school. But, you know kids, they do love to play "house."

Sorry, chronic insanity disorder isn't one of the tests covered in the Warden Insurance package. I hear the Imperialists have it in theirs though, perhaps you should talk to them.
