I, personally, am not losing much sleep over this.

" Do not worry, for I have already set forth the "Dragon Templar" who shall achieve complete control of the Baron's Council. Everyone should consider themselves a target though for many of you it's nothing personal."

Anyone who is foolish enough to follow you doesn't have the ability, mentality, or honor to take a seat in the council.

"I do not seek title for glory, but for a more private goal that when the time comes for fruitation
of Trescendence, the full extent of my plan shall be unvieled."

Then

" My agenda is beyond personal grudges, but for something for the sport as a whole."

You lie in your challenge to the whole council. If you want to unveil your "plans," do so now. If you truly do feel you're doing something for the sport, then you'd have the guts to stand behind your convictions and state it. I am sure I'm not the only one who wants to hear your plans.

" I have no comrades left in this sport, there are none left who I care for anymore."

You'd have to find some pretty backward people who would be willing to follow you after you say you don't care about anyone. Obviously you're just another coward who is using people for the sake of personal gain.

" All I have left is personal glory and my own personal agendas."
And glory and personal agendas are the two reasons you DIDN'T form the Templar, right? You said it was for the sport.

" You are just expendable extras in my plan for the future."
Touching...

" And I am here to have fun, and create some chaos."
Hey, I know how the baron's council can create chaos in return! We can refuse to accept these so-called challenges, and have everyone else on the council vote that Ecore and his lackeys have their peer wins stripped and right to challenge removed. After all, if you can cause hell, why can't we? It's not that I like abusing power, but you claim how the world is unfair and that you want to make chaos. Just don't go crying (again) if the
council decides on some "chaos" in return.

In either case, the level of hypocrisy from you is as large as your ego. You say it's for the sport, yet you say it's for the fun and to cause chaos (that sounds like you care for the sport). You say it's not for personal glory but for a private reason (which you later said it was for the sport), yet the only things you say you have left is a desire for glory and personal agendas.
I'm even more glad I voted against you in the matter between you and Daelin. I'll even be more glad when the barons impale your lackeys and shove the carcasses down your throat so you won't be compelled to infest the arena with the crud coming out of your mouth again.

I won't be one of his lackeys so don't worry about it all... I wouldn't stoop *that* low... I am after rather intelligent when not being impulsive...

Let me point out a piece of history from not too long ago. House Rising with a few other Houses did infact, take control of over half of the Baron's Council. Granted, I was able to wield this power as Zen, Avery, and Magnus where able to(there were a few other Barons), none of us did. There was no abuse of the power we held and when a Warlord came to me asking who to challenge, I simply said challenge whom you felt like, including the Baron's of
House Rising, Magnus and Avery's houses. And to those facts, no one pressed a challenge to the current Overlord at that time, Dal, for there was no need to; besides Warlords who challenged for their own reasons. We merely upheld honor and respect while defending what we thought was wrong, the testing of Warlord's and Baron's. However, the most important ideal of that time was ... we were having fun.

"House Rising with a few other Houses did infact, take control of over half of the Baron's Council."

I don't think that's quite right... I don't remember ever having more than four.

Boy, there's something I'd like to have my name removed from.

Hmm, actually Evan...

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. However...

The closest anyone has come to controlling a majority of the Barons Council after the the last four Titles were added, was HDT having control of about 5 Baronies at once. Before that, was House L who had 3 or 4 of the required 5 for the majority when there were only 9 Rings.

On a side note, There was a Majority Woman's Baron Council, when 5 of the 9 Barons were all women. I think that was an amusing situation at the time, though they weren't all one House and such.

I don't think House Rising ever actually had close to a majority. Maybe 3 Titles at most at once.

If I'm incorrect about any of these facts, feel free to say.

On a side note:

At no time did HDT at it's peak, have any alliances with any other House with their title Holders.

So, if it's said that House Rising had a Majority in conjunction with HDT, that would be false.

Who in the hell would say a thing like that? I'm even surprised you thought of it, G. You hated us all back then, remember? You probably still hate us no, especially since I drink your booze without paying you.

At one time, before the double-digit rings, there were six Barons of the Amethyst Ring in council.

Not that anything was ever done with that, as there was really no need at the time...

Myself, Zen, Magnus, Avery, Cletus(if I am not mistaken), Lupton being a wildcard for voting. Do to what Dal did to him, I see no reason that Lupton would support the Overlord.

I don't remember Avery being part of it.

And you left out Daelin.

And as Lupton stated he was never part of it.

But I don't think any of it matters much at this point, so I'd rather just drop the whole thing.

True, I was never a part of it. I only gave them support.

A little history about Elijah and his outrageous goals...

Anyone remember his triad objective?

Step one: Obtain 1,000 WoLs and every single barons ring, plus an Overlord ship

Step two: Obtain another 1,000 WoLs, every ring, and da Overlordship using no fancies

And finally....drumroll....

Obtain 1,000 more WoL (yes folks its up to 3,000) another 9 rings (nowadays it'd be 13) and a 3rd reign as OL, but dis time dueling only warlords and higher without fancies (I believe he was trying ta model Me Monk because he claimed he'd stop dueling fer da night after a loss)

So, how close is Elijah ta 3,000 WoLs, 18 rings, and 3 OL reigns?

About as close as he will ever get ta controlling all da rings.

Here endeth da lesson...
