Sir Oortael
Thee comment, "The Duel of Swords needs somebody now who isn't a great debater, but someone who is an exceptiional leader......someone new and fresh."
I do ponder the dychotomy of thine comment. Tis how wouldst thee know an exceptional leader if he be new and fresh? Change for change sake ist nae oft a wise course, sirrah.

>>Tis how wouldst thee know an exceptional leader if he be new and fresh<<
By new and fresh I meant someone new in relation to the Overlord position not entirely new such that nobody knows him or her. I think it's safe to say that you can't deny that some of the current Barons and Warlords show good leadership skills. By "new and fresh," I was thinking of one of these men to try their hand at being Overlord.
>>Change for change sake ist nae oft a wise course<<
Yes, I would agree but in the change if a challenger of exceptionally strong character (with which any who are able to retain some order as Overlord must have) would step forward and win, the change might be for the good.Of course none of us, I think, are so gifted as to see into the future , I could very well be wrong and a change would only be worse. I just believe that perhaps a change would help.

I do believe I should be offended... What do the rest of you ladies think? Should we be offended?
In truth, I'm not offended... Sir OorTael5 probably comes from some male-oriented society and really can't help his sexist remarks.
P.S. I'm kidding... right?

::smirks at Drakewyn's remarks::
Truly I am sorry my good lady as i hold only the utmost respect for females. In many aspects the would probably be a better leader than most men.About the male-orientated society, I would have to say that that was a low blow.
::laughs and remarks::
"Hail women for without them men would be nothing::

She had two of her crew members wait at the entrance to the great
cavern as she read the kiosk, she was in a foul mood and reunions
with any old acquaintance would be a poor idea at best. She had
recently returned from a long sojourn, her longing for a certain male
feline forcing her hand.
She absently tugged at the leather bracers she wore, the flickering
torchlight catching the silver etching, reflecting pieces of the dragons
there on as she muttered about the trash on the boards these days.
Coming across the one from OorTael and Drakes' response, her
head tilts back, laughing loudly. Unable to resist, she pens a short
response.
Drakewyn,
I do believe that someone needs a good "lesson" from the right
woman.
OorTael,
You wrote:

Is that not the best place to strike a male.... oriented society?
Leaving that unsigned, her laughter ringing out as she moves to stand with
Thom and Lynx, exiting up into the Inn for some good ale.

I mean no offense by this (yeah, right), but I'm offended that you took offense at Oor's statement (does that make sense). It seems to me that you need to examine yourself when a mere mistake like that triggered a sense of belittlement, or, since he had no intention of saying anything wrong, paranoia of being belittled.

Taking a moment to peruse the ever-busy corkboard, she can't help but chuckle at what she has wrought. "Looks like the mercenary doesn't understand what kidding around is." Taking quill to parchment she pens a quick note.
Sir Kor.
I am hardly as thin-skinned as to take offence at that... I'm sure OorTael5 knew this as well. Now, as for the anonymous woman... she may not have been kidding...
P.S. That's a joke... right?

::Reads the post and decides he should reply to save face. What little he still has::
I assure you that I know a joke when I see one, but I can't be sure that other people do. Therefore, I felt a sense of obligation to express my feelings on what you wrote, despite what you meant. In these days you can never assume that someone understands you, for even if they do, they can still use your lack of clarity against you. I often grow weary trying to be as clear as possible, and doing my best not to offend anyone, and I
often have a laps of judgment on these things, ie: my message to Gnort regarding the respect, or disrespect between veterans and rookies of DoS
But anyway, I shall end this with my usual disclaimer that I see I must begin to use here: I take no responsibility for the words stated above. If they in any way offend anyone, it's not my fault and I will claim to have been drunk at the time of it's writing, should you try and take me to court.
::smirks after rereading the note to himself and posts it, then runs back to add a last phrase to it::
P.S. I do not enjoy having my choice of being a merc ridiculed. It was my choice and anyone to thinks any less of me because of it has serious social problems.

Mrnoth,
I oft find your words to be intelligent and well said. In my opinion, you should take responsibility for them. Besides, if your not responsible for them, why write them?

::reads Oor's note and sees that he has again been misunderstood::
That disclaimer was partly a joke and partly miswritten. What I said, apparently unclearly, is that I thought I had been specific enough to remove all doubt as to my meaning, but if I hadn't I didn't want people to start sending hate mail to my home. Not that any of you would do that, right?
P.S. I was kidding about claiming to have been drunk when I wrote it.
