Yes, I've been a bit quiet and not participated in the noisy racket that some of the castle's residents seemed so fond of, a charade that gained us exactly nothing. But if it can somehow calm you down if I run around in circles and shout like so many others in this castle I'm more than happy to be of service. However, "it has to be one of the ambassadors"; come on, that's possibly the most ridiculous claim I've heard so far. Then I could just as well say that there has to be one among the servants. Which makes exactly no sense, just like your claim. But by all means, if you really have some proper evidence against me please bring them to light, I'd love to see it. If you knew a bit more about the world outside these walls you would know that I haven't been sent as a representative of my king, as the People's Republic of Hamenweir has no king, we have duly elected representatives of the people, for the people. And I'm no more noble than you, everyone in Hamenweir is equal with the same opportunities. It could have been anyone else that was here instead of me, I just happened to be picked. So, no, I don't particularly care about your archaic and outdated form of government, but I do care deeply about the alliance, which I know will succeed despite the actions of those who oppose it. Like several others the fact that my esteemed colleague was a magic user frightened me and I wanted him gone before his dangerous spells caused any harm. Unfortunately we were wrong, and I deeply regret voting for him. I'm sure you'll notice I'm not replying with a counter-vote for you, this is simply because I think you can be trusted, that you are as loyal as me. Let's work together and take down these dragons.

Yay, score one for the home team. And we're going to avenge the poor, brave duchess' death too, it shall not have been in vain I swear. I'll admit that after all this pointless bloodshed we've seen that I've had my doubts about whether it was a good move of my government to enter into a binding alliance with a nation so clearly bent on destruction (even its own ) as Matidoer. But now we seem to be on the right track, we just have to make sure we don't try to run too fast now, then we'll surely stumble and fall.

Which is good, then I won't be the only crazy Norwegian

And now it's seems I have become a jerk with tittles after misspelling "titles" in this thread No idea who gave it to me, but I suspect Ras.

My title came from Hinckley, it's explained in the tittles archive. I actually like it a lot

Yay! So, are we staying at a place that actually has wireless this time? And that actually serves breakfast without charging extra for it? And with a decent loungeish area where we can build?

Yes, I'm definitely () coming. Don't think I'll bring anyone (Freddie seems capable of bringing himself )

Exactly the reason why I proposed those dates, getting 4 days off while only spending one precious day of leave. (and for us Norwegians it will be a super-weekend as the Norwegian national day is the Monday after, so that's another day off ) Just checked mine, it says valid until 21st of May 2010. (or rather "gueltig bis", but Google Translate assures me that means "valid until" )

Neat. Love the use of forced perspective for the cityscape in the background.

That sounds rather sloppy for such a book to me, messing up simple details that any AFOL would have (and will) noticed in 5 minutes.

I still think 14th-16th of May is the best, but I'll make it anyway

Clearly having Lady Harcourt around isn't helping us at all, I just hope we're not doing a horrible mistake like we did with Sirion Vote: Lady Harcourt / Zepher

Votes and accusations flying in 4 directions at once.. it's enough to make one go mad. Completely at a loss here, so I'll abstain from voting for a while. Just hope this noisy confusion won't cause us to not get a conviction at all, only ones that have anything to gain from that would be the dragons.

Excuse me, but what was the point of this post?

Thank you my dear lady, let me assure you all that I'm as shocked about Gilbert's grim fate as anyone else. Indeed we did, banishing the old and dangerous ways of arcane arts is one of the most important results of our newly forged alliance, let's not forget that. Yes yes, we've heard quite enough. And as we currently are stumbling around in the dark without any real facts I'm afraid we might have to make some hard, potentially bad decisions to get anywhere. So my dear ambassador, it's nothing personal but I have to vote: Ambassador Sirion Vipont / ImperialShadows.

Nothing I'm afraid

Postponing sounds good to me, but I wouldn't mind going to the UK next fall too.. guess it depends on what others want On the other hand, everyone that was planning to come to the Special Event in Windsor could come to Billund for the regular Event instead. Question is though.. Special Event in Malaysia in 2013?

I thought we agreed on Billund as many of us wil get in there for free due to having the Merlin premium pass? (this is of course if we go before 20th of May). Doing it in Ascension weekend will fit nicely imho, Ascension Day is 13th of May next year. so that's in time for us to get in for free, and it gives us the nice 4-day-Event with only taking out one day of leave from work Anyway, I of course voted Billund, haven't been there since 1988 and it's the closest for me too.

Clearly sleeping is bad. The first vote was cast at 01:14 my time, by then I had gone to bed. And when I woke up there were some 70-80 new posts with votes and accusations. Totally crazy.

jerk, yet another of Hinckley's Mystical Castle Day 2 titles, I'm supposedly a jerk because I want the rules to be followed.

No, he was Italian, and all italians are scum

Same here my dear lady, one short nap during which the castle went completely haywire. And though it doesn't matter now I think this is a just cause which I want to show my support of. Vote: Lord William Harcourt (Hinckley).

Ah, at least we made it through the night without losing anyone, that gives me hope for the future. I'm confident we'll find and dispose of these "dragons" standing in the way of progress. Like fools they cling to their old and failing traditions, refusing to accept that cooperation and unity is the way of the future. And I'm sad to hear that Ethel was loyal, but really, with all her noise she really wasn't helping us find anything at all, clouding our judgment and in general just being annoying. Let's all be a bit more calm today, okay? As for learning anything during the night; afraid not, I've not been granted powers like that.

Cute! But you really should have resized one of your pictures and put it into the first post in this thread to get more attention. The tutorial index can help in case you're unsure how to resize pictures

I'm sure you'll overdo yourself yet again next year when we're in Billund
