The Grey Wardens: Warden-Lieutenant Eshialand

[Kurnugia]

Interesting: You didn't bothered to refute my analysis of your buddies in the anti comintern pact (Honi soit qui mal y pense)

They really have no way to refute it hence they chose to ignore it and say the same stuff again and again.

I know. We just need to remind the representative constantly of the fact that they choose those allignments. Even if it comes as argumentum ad nauseam (even though it isn't).

[Tim-Opolis]

Are you a defender? No? Then you have no right to tell defenders what to call themselves.

Femdom Empire didn't just defend itself.

Piling =/= Defending.

Seems you need to read up on R/D more, mate.

[Elegarth]

Absolutely! Especially if this means that there is an absolute real chance that all influential third parties (except the Pacific) and all cosmopolitan userites, are being purged to the point of no return? Yes. Give me more GCR enslavement. You call it enslavement though, I call it liberation. The GCR are not the playground of the advanced NS politician, nor the legitimate holdings of some powerful NS families or the prestigious outpost of Defender or Raider orgs. These elements just harness the rich resources of the GCR's or polish up their completely irrelevant CV. (Sometimes I wonder why some regions do not even have a Minister of Ego Affairs.)

We have a different perception of this game. I might remind you that Pacifica doesn't only resolve around the Pacific. What has been started 2003 is far from being over and the battle for Feederite soil isn't over yet.

I really don't understand why you try to disguise the Pacific's blatant hypocrisy with this absurd ideology. It fools literally nobody.

Because Perg is just a n00b who TRIES and AIMs to be as good as the brethren than filled the Pacifica before him, but falls short. If you had Pierconium come and actually say this sort of things he would do it masterfully, as he truly understands feederism and userism, The new generation... Not so much :/

I still love the Pacific, it was my home region for most of my gameplay experience, but Perg... You are letting the ball fall to the ground. Try to be mindful or let Pierconium do the talking.

While TGW has occasionally worked alongside the NPO and Pergamon, they really aren't the subject of this thread Thank you for the bump, though.

Hey, I actually know this song! Neat.

[Benevolent Thomas]

Cut to First Warden's office. Thomas is seated at desk.
Thomas: Come in, what do you want?
Warden W&S enters and salutes.
W&S: I'd like to leave the Order please, sir.
Thomas: Good heavens man, why?
W&S: It's dangerous.
Thomas: What?
W&S: There are people with swords out there, sir.
Thomas: What?
W&S: Real swords, sir. Not toy ones, sir. Proper ones, sir. They've all got 'em. All of 'em, sir. And some of 'em have got trebuchets.
Thomas: W&S, they are on our side.
W&S: And spells, sir. And crossbows, sir. So I'd like to leave, sir, before I get killed, please.
Thomas: W&S, you've only been in the order a day.
W&S: I know sir but people get killed, properly dead, sir, no barley cross fingers, sir. A bloke was telling me, if you're in the Order and there's a war you have to go and fight.
Thomas: That's true.
W&S: Well I mean, blimey, I mean if it was a big war somebody could be hurt.
Thomas: W&S, why did you join the Order?
W&S: For the water-skiing and for the travel, sir. And not for the killing, sir. I asked them to put it on my form, sir - no killing.
Thomas: W&S are you a pacifist?
W&S: No sir, I'm not a pacifist, sir. I'm a coward.
Thomas: That's a very silly line. Sit down.
W&S: Yes sir. Silly, sir. (sits in corner)
Thomas: Awfully bad.

Knock at the door, sergeant enters, and salutes.
Warden-Lieutenant: Two civilian gentlemen to see you ... sir!
Thomas: Show them in please, sergeant.
Warden-Lieutenant: Mr Vinny Vercotti and Mr Roavin Vercotti.
The Vercotti brothers enter. They wear Mafia suits and dark glasses.
Vinny: Good morning, Warden.
Thomas: Good morning gentlemen. Now what can I do for you.
Roavin: (looking round office casually)You've ... you've got a nice army base here, Warden.
Thomas: Yes.
Roavin: We wouldn't want anything to happen to it.
Thomas: What?
Vinny: No, what my brother means is it would be a shame if... (he knocks something off mantel)
Thomas: Oh.
Vinny: Oh sorry, Warden.
Thomas: Well don't worry about that. But please do sit down.
Roavin: No, we prefer to stand, thank you, warden.
Thomas: All right. All right. But what do you want?
Vinny: What do we want, ha ha ha.
Roavin: Ha ha ha, very good, warden.
Vinny: Thewarden's a joker, Roavin.
Roavin: Explain it to the warden, Vinny.
Vinny: How many mages you got, warden?
Thomas: About five hundred altogether.
Roavin: Five hundred! Hey!
Vinny: You ought to be careful, warden.
Thomas: We are careful, extremely careful.
Vinny: 'Cos things break, don't they?
Thomas: Break?
Roavin: Well everything breaks, don't it warden. (he breaks something on desk) Oh dear.
Vinny: Oh see my brother's clumsy warden, and when he gets unhappy he breaks things. Like say, he don't feel the order's playing fair by him, he may start breaking things, warden.
Thomas: What is all this about?
Roavin: How many men you got here, warden?
Thomas: Oh, er ... seven thousand infantry, six hundred artillery, and er, two divisions of mabari.
Roavin: Mabari, Vinny.
Vinny: Be a shame if someone was to set fire to them.
Thomas: Set fire to them?
Roavin: Fires happen, warden.
Vinny: Things burn.
Thomas: Look, what is all this about?
Vinny: My brother and I have got a little proposition for you warden.
Roavin: Could save you a lot of bother.
Vinny: I mean you're doing all right here aren't you, warden.
Roavin: Well suppose some of your mages was to get broken and troops started getting lost, er, fights started breaking out during general inspection, like.
Vinny: It wouldn't be good for business would it,warden?
Thomas: Are you threatening me?
Vinny: Oh, no, no, no.
Roavin: Whatever made you think that, warden?
Vinny: The First Warden doesn't think we're nice people, Roavin.
Roavin: We're your buddies, warden.
Vinny: We want to look after you.
Thomas: Look after me?
Roavin: We can guarantee you that not a single mage division will get done over for fifteen bob a week.
Thomas: No, no, no.
Roavin: Twelve and six.
Thomas: No, no, no.
Roavin: Eight and six ... five bob...
Thomas: No, no this is silly.
Vinny: What's silly?
Thomas: No, the whole premise is silly and it's very badly written. I'm the senior officer here and I haven't had a funny line yet. So I'm stopping it.
Roavin: You can't do that!
Thomas: I've done it. The sketch is over.
W&S: I want to leave the order please sir, it's dangerous.
Thomas: Look, I stopped your sketch five minutes ago. So get out of shot. Right director! Close up. Zoom in on me.

That's better.
Roavin: (off screen) It's only 'cos you couldn't think of a punch line.
Thomas: Not true, not true. It's time for the cartoon. Cue telecine, ten, nine, eight...
Cut to telecine countdown.
Vinny: (off screen) The general public's not going to understand this, are they?
Thomas: (off screen) Shut up you 'frendas!

Reactions to unretirement from left to right: Defenders, Invaders

Daddy's home! Its been a good five months since I've last seen your shining faces, but seeing as I'm between adventures and I've missed some of you dearly, I'll be hanging around for a little while (Todd scoffs "you mean forever"). I was a bit of a wreck my first update back, but I did manage to snag a win in the opening seconds of update. Using my new favorite salt-mine of a switcher, Imminent Gameplay Changes, I got to smite my first victims of 2017. After that, I descended into total suckage while the true pros carried on. With over a dozen people online, I wish we could have accomplished more, but I enjoyed myself and I hope everyone else did as well.

I can't express just how proud I am of the Wardens and our First Warden. It was the stories of our newest members that chipped away at my bitterness and compelled me to dip my toes back in. Roavin is staying as First Warden, and as of this moment in time, I am merely a Warden. It is not my intention to be as involved as I've been in the past, so please lend me your strength as I struggle to be disciplined in my commitment to not become overly committed to this game once more.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

-Emma Lazarus

Oh you return just in time for me to return to the tag fields as well! I hope you are just as rusty as me or i'm in trouble..

[Cormactopia Prime]

Welcome back Thomas.

Aw snap! Awesome to see you've returned Thomas.

Looking forward

[Stalker Queen]

Tommy! *fangirls* Welcome back to NS ^_^ I hope your real-life is well

[Tim-Opolis]

The twist will obviously be that he's been active in a less sportsmanlike manner the last five months anyway!


(Welcome back BT <3)

[Lord Dominator]

Welcome back!
Liked the poem (It looks like the Statue of Liberty inscription, but something feels off)

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Goodness, I've certainly become quite the timid one overnight... maybe Daddy BT's return is just making me forget myself a bit ^_^
