I didn't know MacKenzie was in the business of playing pimp along with his Overlord Tyrant role.

Joke or not, I will not even dignify that with a response.

Looks like I'm not the only one who is lacking fibers. Ha ha, I'm witty.

Nova, just how did you think Sartan was "convincing" people to join me? The threat of physical violence? No, no... the threat is far worse.

Val,

You wouldn't happen to need an Enforcer, would you? Please?

Frightened,

>I am simply... confused.

excellent! I knew that you were indeed the right man for the job. For, since many people seem to view the Overlord as more a political title than anything now, what better way to rule than in a constant state of confusion?

Indeed, this is proven by referring to me as a Baron already. I fear that you're spending too much time around the rings of the barons. Beware Overlord! Our leader must remain intelligent, even if confused.

However, I do happily accept the rights as a neutral renegade who stands loyal to your crown. Since I have no ring to be challenged for, I will instead provide small gumballs that will go to the victor of any challenge match against me.

Finally, in tribute to you, for each challenge match I successfully defend, one gumball will be given to you as homage. This will continue until you have one gumball for every color of the rainbow!

I believe this proves the depth to which I am committed to you as Overlord.

Long live the Overlord!
Tarl

I, acting as Vice Tyrant to Overlord MacKenzie, hereby bestow the nickname of "Sodomizer" to Sartan for his acts of enforcement.

Keep up the good work, Sartan the Sodomizer! Convert the heathens!

MacKenzie,

I quit until you either fire Rix or remove the nickname.

I'm not so sure you want me to do that, Sartan. In some jurisdictions, Rix just paid you a high compliment without even suggesting any "odd" behavior. But if you really wish it, I'll remove the nickname...

Oh, you misunderstand. I was giving you the Thirteenth Ring, in the interests of restoring civic pride and increasing the Council's intelligence.

"Finally, in tribute to you, for each challenge match I successfully defend, one gumball will be given to you as homage. This will continue until you have one gumball for every color of the rainbow!"

I'm touched, indeed. Thank you, Tarl. If Sartan doesn't come to his senses, I might even give you his job.

Ian Rex,

Hey, Overlord, what happens if Var or Avery need a beatin.. or rather 'packing'? You still going to send the Sodomizer? I mean, come on, Var and Avery would probably get a kick out of it. I think I even over heard them talking about Sartan's arse before... that hurt my ears.

Ian,

Due to your wise decision, I wish to stay in your employ as Enforcer. Enforcements will be commencing shortly.

Enforcer. Is that what they're calling it these days?

Laird MacKenzie.

Upon review of your petition, and careful review of what historical documents from the beginings of the sport exist, the Office of the Standings Keeper can find no fault in your reasoning.
However, given that you were not an active member of the dueling community and were not listed upon the Standings at the time of your petition, your request is denied.
Further, it has be determined that even if your request was granted; the position of Overlord would be immediately turned over to whom-so-ever should win the upcoming Baron's Tournament... as per the existing Rules regarding such situations.

In closing, as I do have now in my possession your request for reinstatement, I will officially declare you reinstated and, by that implication, give you leave to resubmit your initial petition.
Note, however, that anyone with a greater than your current 27-0-0 record may attempt to supercede your claim of "Supreme Duelist"... according to the records I have researched.

Lady Silvertree:

Rather a meaningless point, since in order to request reinstatement to Warlord, I had to resign as Overlord.

Cheers,
Ian Rex.
