Haha, didn't even notice, thanks guys.

Let's see...

It's the pirates who get a bounty on their head...

And since they're all buddies they fight each other and thus claim the bounties...

Pattern. Found.

I don't remember much about BlackHack (yes, you read right), but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's not a pirate, making him and Bojan the only two on that list that are not.

No surprises, then. I'd be surprised if someone from the CDC, IA, IDF or VPR were there, though.

Wait, Scarlet Lioness is either [SCAR] or [SoR], right?

Hehe... Uh, Jex... MB is our honored "[VPR]LT"... Surprise!

hehe... and wow! I see the trend! There are a lot of good guys, and gal...

Ok ok, I hate to throw a wrench in this... but Maso has been commander since its inception. How are the VPR's built "on democratic values"

just a small jibe.

You can have all the democracy you want, so long as I'm leader?
Oct 17, 2005 Scarlett Lioness link
I am neither SCAR nor SoR.

I am LT. of CLM and I have never been "given a bounty" and I do not "give" them either.
Oct 17, 2005 jexkerome link
That's why I have MB the benefit of the doubt, leapfrog; I was hoping he had more sense than to join VPR, but I guess not...

And Scarlett Lioness, AKA alt of a certain person... um, I'll leave it at that.

That was probably Starbucks, right? At least he's good for something

Jex, i think your either drinking too much, or listening to the IA intelligence department. And pfft, im almost on 25 :) (and hasnt someone already got a 25 news mark?)

UPN.

Congrats shape (for the bounty).

/me sighs...why do you keep making such comments...Council can demote commanders and lieutenants at any time. You know that.

jex said: I'd be surprised if someone from the CDC, IA, IDF or VPR were there, though.

Well, I've gotten one bounty legitimately and two because people asked me to kill them. Grand total of 3. (And the last one was bogus, ask tumble...) I never pay attention to bounties unless someone tells me, usually.

I suppose that I should start looking at that kind of stuff, since I'm supposed to be a fierce mean anti-pirate [IA] member and all...
Oct 17, 2005 jexkerome link
Correction, LeberMac: you're supposed to be all that's LEFT of [IA].

Just like Darth Vader, a sad lone reminder of a sad little religion lost in time.

And destined to be PWNED by your own son, to boot.

Hey Maso, thanks for the congrats,

I'm not saying that you need to be removed. I'm just pointing out that a system with a single commander (the founder) isn't what I would call the strict exercise of democracy.

Now, there's nothing wrong with that. I was just making a semantic argument based on the guild info page.

martin's got 25! wohoo go martin!

Since we're on the subject of bounties, I'm wanting to know...

Do they still have the 1% xp penalty?
Oct 17, 2005 Martin link
31 now, and yes DoF.

:D

And throw a wrench, you did... indeed. In a glass house, no less. Rather sporty, I'd say... but that is one of the things I *truly* admire about you, Shapester...

Totally off topic... but I "own" this thread (I started it)... and it was/is a real "congrats", complete with humor...

but... since you brought it up:

Democracy (de-mok're-si), n. democracy, popular government < demos, the people + kralein, to rule.
1. government by the people, either directly or through elected representatives; rule by the ruled. 2. a country, state, community, etc. with such government. 3. majority rule. 4. the acceptance and practice of the principle of equal rights, opportunity, and treatment; lack of snobbery. 5. the common people.

I am but one voice, one vote. And my voice has always been heard, and respected... and my vote has always been counted. Is that a democracy? I'd say so...

We've had all sorts of individuals infiltrate the ranks (and will in the future, for sure)... but they were/are offered the same opportunity to voice their opinions, etc. There *has* to be some ultimate authority, however... and that is the Cmdr and Lts... We, Council, have the privilege of serving with them, and also the power to remove them... Is that a democracy? I'd say so...

We aren't perfect, but then again, we have fun and our mission stands as stated. Always has. We haven't waivered from it. Anyone not with the "goals" at heart (those with different motives) cannot understand that... and, therefore, they will be exposed eventually by their own volition...

Congratulations, again for you help in ridding the universe of bad guys!... and you too, Martin! And Bojan, Scarlett Lioness, Upn, Niki, and MysticRogue... w00t! It makes our job easier, and we thank you!

Seta, of the clan of Ralel

wow! Thank you, Seta.
