Leave of General Absence:

[Phoenix the Risen]

Well, my computer picked a hell of a time to die. It coincided quite nicely with the rise of the Yardistani Lord Governor to the Throne. I can't help but wonder if it was possibly an effect thereof rather than a simple coincidence. Nonetheless, with the new Lord Gover- I mean Kaiser, I should hope things will be able to manage themselves for the few days it may take to get my computer back up and running.In the meanwhile, I shall appoint Governor David Northworthy Beckford as my Emissary to the Landsraad, Duke Scott Siskind as Minister of the Interior Pro-Tempore, and Baron Gman Russell as Steward to the throne of Kildare.On a side note, as my drafts for the Census are all on the dearly departed computer, I shall likely not be getting the Verbose Form up this weekend. I apologise to all whom this inconveniences. I encourage anyone waiting for the Verbose Form to fill out the Brief Form for the time being. I will likely keep the thread open for people to edit in the Verbose Form once it is completed well after the conclusion of the bimester. Again, I apologise for the inconvenience.

I will leave Kildare in as good... well... NEARLY... as good of shape as you left it. *grins*

we rule! "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[mDuo13]

Well, that is the suck.Any new plans for Kildare while s/he's gone? Edited by: mDuo13 at: 2/7/04 12:13 pm

[david northworthy beckfor]

the Joint Dictatorship of AmitMirLacCog will rule with an iron fist..well...2...and we will force the citizens to make nifty images without pay! "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran.

[Gman Russell]

*AHEM*no forced labor; Mr. Beckford.*taps his free hand's palm with a nightstick*

[david northworthy beckfor]

aaarrrrr....not fair... "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[mDuo13]

Quote:we will force the citizens to make nifty images without payUmm... citizens? Plural? Who be these other citizens? I seem to have yet to meet them...

[david northworthy beckfor]

you are actually 2 people, it's just that you are never both around at the same time so you dont know. "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[mDuo13]

Oh.That makes sense.I think.**runs away when the crazy man isn't looking**

[Scott Alexander]

I think the citizen(s) already kindly volunteered to make nifty images without pay, and no one took him/them up on it. But now that I am MiniInt pro tempore, I would like to request as many of the following as you care to provide:Duchy of Yardistan: Tropical with lots of volcanoesBarony of Amity + Mirioth: Tropical and lush and prettyLothlaria: Like New Zealand, with a very conspicuous kiwiAlexandretta: Hmmmm...I'll get back to you on that one, if you still want to do it.

[david northworthy beckfor]

mmm....okyou see the reallt handsome guy in this picture.....and you know those dictaors and commies with loads of medals on there chests.....could you please do an image withthe following....me, looking all powerfull, with loads of medals and stuff...and one the same, but addressing addressing an army...so..yeh, if you dont mind "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[mDuo13]

Well, here's the first of them... I'll work on the others when I get the chance, but for now it's time for bed.

[Gman Russell]

Not bad... but PLEASE make mine dark and gothy. PLEEEEAAASSEE.

[Scott Alexander]

Well...I guess you're the Baron...I always pictured it as sorta the Hawaii of Micras. After all, what kind of crazy would make a dark and gothic and forbidding and evil place and then name it "Amity"? It's just not done!And that Yardistan image is SWEET.

[Gman Russell]

*laughs*It IS ironic no? But, check the inside of my barony... i've allready made myself at home. *shrugs*Maybe subconciously I knew it meant that and so it drummed up the image and feel that made me feel the most at home... I'm not sure..

[Alexandra Decens]

Erik and I want to work on the Alexandretta page....that would be fun...now..to think of a theme... Non-NobleImperial MistressMe

[Mattlore Devious]

The Yardistani Banner is awesome!

[Scott Alexander]

Mmmmm....sorry....apparently not everyone wants a banner...I suppose you probably shouldn't make them until people approve...sorry to waste your time...I figured everyone would appreciate it.

[mDuo13]

Well, regardless, I've put togther banner #2: The Barony of Amity and Mirioth. I think I managed to fulfill both requests: tropical AND gothy.See for yourself:

[mDuo13]

Quote:you see the reallt handsome guy in this picture.....Wait, where? I don't see him. j/k =PHere you go: That was actually surprisingly easy to make. Heh heh heh. Look for part 2 soon.

[Gman Russell]

*LAUGHS!*Sorry... that's sooo wrong... but... oh man... haha...and yeah, that might work Mduo... hm... not bad.edit: It kind of looks like Hawaii was overun with will'o'the'wisps... Edited by: Gman Russell at: 2/9/04 9:29 pm

[mDuo13]

And here's installment #2. This one was a little harder, and didn't turn out quite as well, I think. Nevertheless:

[david northworthy beckfor]

BRILL!now...I was thinking, less nazi's, more medals, but this is good! "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[Mattlore Devious]

LOTH would like a banner :b lolBush/Native Forest type thing...or as scott said Kiwis/New Zealand

[mDuo13]

Here we go. This one was pretty fun to make, and really easy, too. And, I might note, the "Kiwi crossing" sign is from a real photograph.

[Mattlore Devious]

Haha, koooooool....I most definatly approve and offer many thanks

[Chimaera the Wise]

d00d... no offense, but you spelled Lothlaria incorrectly.

[Mattlore Devious]

lmao, I didn't even notice

[Scott Alexander]

I added a fixed version to the Lothlaria forum. If you're too embarassed by my editing job, you can post another, but I didn't want to give you the extra work.
