My Deare Mr. Gunthar O'Dwyer,

Your circumlocution while dizzying in scope does cause a mild headache, so please desist.
However, if you would read the very first post in this thread it may answer your question.

Your humble servant,


Andrew Pyre

My Dear Mr. G.

An excellent post indeed. Perhaps my influence is already effecting a change in your belicose attitude. A little more work on the first sentence of your post would have been just the touch for an introduction. The last portion was a bit stiff, but all an all an excellent post.

Your humble servant,

Andew Pyre

My Dear Mr. G

Rather then go over the same ground again I will accept as read a goodly portion of your post. There are a few points I will address though.

Your question as to why Jonalyn is my avowed enemy is ansewered thusly. Jonalyn, in my opinion engineered the coup that toppled Avery. The Barons Council, again in my opinion would eventually have sorted it out in such a fashion as to not have created such bitterness and clashes that have occurred. I do not think you will deny the part about the Council sorting it out.

I am neither incompetent, moronic, or a dullard. On occasion I may be callow. I am not sure about being commiserable as it is not a word I am familiar with, perhaps you would provide a definition?

I actually almost smiled when I read that part of your closing paragraph that went "stunningly lack of understanding of what this Arena is about." That is so Jonalynesque in style and content. Rest assured Mr. G I fully understand the function of the Arena and those who partake.

Your humble servant,


Andrew Pyre

Oh, most contemptable Mr. Pyre~

You bet your britches I'm feisty. When you get to be my age, the role of the tittering, cooing lady is vastly unappealing. Besides, I think it comes with the red hair.

On another note, consider your nethers departed.

My dear humble servant,

Detail, if possible, how Jonalyn orchestrated this so called "coup" that you say she has against Avery. The fact that you think she does, even if it is an opinion, is entirely laughable. She had nothing to do with it other than voicing her opinion in that matter, much like numerous others have. What was done in the Avery situation would have been done whether or not she had posted her thoughts. Certainly, she opens her mouth to her pen more often
than she probably should, but she has a right to do so, much like yourself and I do. However, some people have actual facts in which to base our posts on, not fiction and opinion only.

Do refrain from calling my "Mr. G" as well, That just doesn't sound good. Everyone can refer to me as "G" whether they like me or not, and some even prefer to use my full first name, that's their prerogative.

"G"

My humble servant,

If you really consider yourself such, do me a favor and read the letterhead at the top of every paper I have written on rather than look for a signature at the bottom.

My name is there, and I see no reason to add it again at the bottom.

I think that the proper course in this situation might be one that has been suggested, in the distant past, on at least one occasion (though the intended target was not the same), by William Raymond Karnafexx. Someone should simply break this Pyre fellow's writing hand.

I had not expected to post on this subject again... but I feel I must.

Mr Pyre, you wrote: "If you feel you must write on my cork then please follow my request."
Let me make it quite clear that this is not your cork. It is a corkboard which belongs to the Duel of Swords for use by the Patrons and Staff of said organization.
Your arrogance is rediculous, as is your standard verbage.

Not to gloat or anything, but . . .

Was I right about this guy, or was I right?

Well Rix...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day... can't be that much harder for you to be right.

Kidding... mostly.

See, Drake, that's why I have to gloat on the few occasions I am right.

I'm still waiting fer him ta explain what an "Online group" is, he certainly has danced around dat question quite enough.

Heck, if its good, I might just join, but I'm still curious what it is.

I would like to ask a question of Mr. Pyre, if I may.

If Jona was in fact behind the coup that replaced Avery as Overlord, as you state so vehemently in "your opinion", what would have been her motivation?

It certainly wouldn't have been that she disliked Avery, or felt him unfit to fulfill the position of Overlord. I clearly recall several instances of her support of him in varying situations, as well as her voicing that she liked him as a person as well. So.... the only motivation I can see would be that she felt that the situation revolving around the challenge and Avery's disappearance needed to be investigated and taken care of.
It should be noted here that the only thing she did on this cork was to call for an investigation, and voice a personal opinion. AND... it would appear that she did this in spite of her personal feelings for the man. Why would she have done this? After having read her notes regarding the subject at the time, I'd have to say it would be because she believed that having the position of Overlord filled by someone that was unable to, for reasons
unknown, fulfill the obligations of the position. In other words, she did it because she believed strongly that it would be for the good of the sport.

You can say what you will, but I think you will find that you are unable to honestly dispute the facts, certainly not with facts that are pertinent.... The only thing you offer to us is "your opinion", with nothing to explain why you feel the way you do, or what proof of your accusation you have.

It seems hardly even worth discussing the issue with you.

My Dear Bleys,

One finds it amusing that already you of all people seem to be fostering violence because you do not agree with someone. The pen is mightier then the sword you may have heard that at one time or the other. It is a true statement.

Your humble servant,


Andrew Pyre
