Post Tyrannus Rant / All hail the new Tyrannus

Xenomorph

Hello,

It's been a good time playing alongside my good friends in Mhaldor. I didn't get a whole lot of love at first and wasn't very comfortable taking the job after I found out, I didn't know everyone had it out for me so bad heh, I hope I didn't let too many of you down, and I'm sorry if I did. 

I just wanted to try and do my best and take care of the players here, and I think I was able to help a few along the way, at least I hope. I've been working with Tecton so very long now that it felt very alone when that was no longer the case, sort of like I didn't know anyone anymore. Time to move aside and let somebody else play too. 

I don't really have anything to rant about, but maybe they could put more snickers in the vending machine by the Council room, but I guess thats not up to me anymore. Take care everyone, it was a good ride. Support Ruth, she is a great person and will do an even better job than I could. You guys will have fun.

Tecton, I hope I kept my promise to you, I just said I'd do for Mhaldor what I've been doing for the Maldaathi, in the end I really let the Maldaathi down. Just couldn't give them the time I wanted, although they are in great hands.

*wave*

If I thank anyone, I'll let too many people down. You all did so much, and honestly I didnt have much to do with it, you guys truly run this place and make it fun for others. Quei, you were a massive help and I'll never be able to thank you enough. Orzaansyn, I wish I could have known you better, thanks for all your hard work with the time we had though.

Tont, if you are out there, I hope I earned your approval. Thanks to Sartan and Tecton more than anyone. There is a reason I thank them that goes beyond any understanding I can explain. Those two give their lives to Achaea, and make me look pretty lazy by comparison. Its been a long ride. Thanks everyone (in Mhaldor)

What? No barely coherent rant tickling at the edges of my sanity, begging me to let go and fully understand? DISLIKE.

Also, I'm going to have to defend myself for once, about the players on both sides of Targossas vs Mhaldor war and set some things straight.

Targossas youngin's, I'm not going to lie about anything because I don't have to. I'm gonna shoot you straight, what you see is what you get. I know the problems have been so beyond control, its honestly a first for me seeing that much state-sponsored griefing occur at such high levels. I reached out first, after I was contacted by several of my players that the things going on in the war were getting extremely out of hand. When I have a player contact me with that level of distress, I'm going to drop what I'm doing immediately and go help them, its just what we do here.

I contacted their city leader who at first gave support, and agreed that pointless wanton destruction of massive amounts of guards, Euro-ganking AKA timezone griefing, newbie killing, midbie balloon-knot tickling, and utterly shameful dishonorable acts really served neither side much purpose. Within a very short time, it was made clear to me that I was going to be ignored, and eventually ridiculed for trying to use OOC polite messages of suggestion were completely unwanted. I kept restraining and coaching my own combat/raid peers and leaders that we need to take the high road and don't engage in that type of stuff, that we rise above it. (non Mhaldorians that think this is bs, I bet I have a couple people that will back me) well I ended up getting quite a few people in my own faction disown me, unfriend me from life, what have you, because I was essentially getting them killed while I wasn't exactly in the combat phase of my life, that is very true, I was not any combat help to my city. 

So how long was I supposed to keep my boot on the back of my own people's head while the hillbilly's did them from behind? Enough was enough, and there was no holding them back as Targossas just wouldn't stop with the griefing (and we are talking major overboard griefing) Just a couple days ago I was griefed by a pack of former paladins and some others, just because I was walking by on my way to the great rock to watch a youngin' duel for a simple practice duel. No big deal, I take my shots like a big boy and pray. I walk back to the great rock, and while Im watching my youngin' s duel on the rock, the same pack of former Knights and brigands comes back and punches my shit in. -Then- they just outright kill the youngin' too, and they basically had zero utter shame about it. All I said then was "You lack discipline" or something like that. 

It takes two to tango. All these problems stem from a city leader that is letting his faction go down a very bad path, and you guys should know that Mhaldor is simply reacting how they should, and I was doomed the moment I was alone in the honourable fight ethos that I'm pretty hard about maintaining, just as a Maldaathi. Im sorry to the Mhaldorians that suffered for it, but remember, you guys took the high road and did indeed try hard, what choice did you have but to fight fire with fire? That faction doesnt give a shit what you think, so, Im free to fight now, and Ill back you.

Remember, we are enemies with every city there is. Should the gods open a combat tourney so its one vs one, it'll end how it always ends. With Tirac or Carmain throwing another trophy or five in the back of the Range Rover, and our runner ups, making a lot of Mhalgossas babies with the war trophies they claimed after pillaging Targossas of all the prized ladyboys. Silas, I will take you down wholesale regardless of how long I haven't fought, so you better bring the Village people and just COME AT ME BRO.

Cobra, get my cape. Orzanaasyn, get my rubber duck from the tub. We're hitting the road for some Targossas speedbag ball bashin! *village mob*

Edit: Oops, sorry Ruth. Yes, you have a new Tyrannus now, so my policies of order raids, rubber duck fetching, and letting me shoot apples off your head with my bow, are not up to me. So that means I dont have to fight anymore, sorry! *boards plane to Fiji*

I kid I kid, we'll fight, but seriously, bring the duck.

YAY THERE IT IS.

Congratulations on your retirement! Think of all the extra time you will have to sit on the Folger's can at Stygian now!

Haha, sometimes it's the little things that count. God bless the Folger's can. I'm gonna have to dig up the quote from my story about practicing my sword fighting and forcing Mhaldor to watch. Basically, nobody gives a shit, and everyone just wants to go home. A recurring theme I often force visit on. Thanks for stopping in. There is coffee if you want a cup before you head out.

Papamorph.

That's all I have to say, really. :x

That, and I will never look at belts/strawberry jam/garbage can lids/mops the same way again.

@Xenomorph: Of all the weapons you use to challenge me, you just had to bring the Gachimuchi-Mobile. 

IT.

IS.

ON.

NOW.

The showing of who will be the boss of this gym will commence soon. Let's have a STYLISH battle at the Leather Club two blocks down.

Congrats on the retirement, stay frosty, impeccable man.

Hahaha, that pic just goes to show the deep and true level of understanding felt only in the garden of the Titans. In another life we were Grizzly Adams and Tom Selleck, direct liaisons and perveyor's of flannel to one Mr Charles Norris

There, Sire:

You know, that's kind of scary you found that and posted it. See, we actually call that rubber m16/m4 a 'rubber duck' in infantry school. When I was unqualified with the rest of my rookie grunts (new enlistments) we each had to carry that heavy non functioning rubber duck. Me and the duck went through a lot together. Rifle pt, obstacle course, rifle pt, Joy, sadness, love, turgid affairs, and of course, rifle pt. then one day the inconceivable happened. My rubber duck was found in the bunk of another soldier. I left that whore where I found it, wool blanket and all. You weren't there man..you weren't there.
