For instance, remeber Vinny’s thought that one of these days a Transylvito protection-racket raid would run into something nasty and veiled? Now, who do we know who has nasty units and a good Foolamancer…? ---

Now, who do we know who has nasty units and a good Foolamancer…? Not to mention a lava lake. I know Transylvito is mostly air-based but still, imagine marching your army into something you _thought_ was a field but…wasn’t. \ I’m idly wondering how Jillian is going to react to bumping into her formerly-deceased ex on the battlefield.

Yup. I was thinking Parson’s going to have to be on his toes to keep ahead of him. ---

Hmmm… is [this](http://www.erfworld.com/2009/08/summer-updates-020/) Don King showing the beliefs underneath the pragmatism, or simply trying to make an impression on Jillian? ---

Hard to say. He’s either arguing in favor of the Divine Right of Kings or trying to show Jillian that she’s being an obnoxious jerk. Or maybe both. ---

[Don King’s agenda](http://www.erfworld.com/2009/08/summer-updates-%E2%80%93-021/) is pretty much what I expected, but the leadup to it has some points of interest. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Hard to say. He’s either arguing in favor of the Divine Right of Kings or trying to show Jillian that she’s being an obnoxious jerk. Or maybe both. I think his point was that regardless of divine right or lineage or whatever a king or queen is supposed to act a certain way, and she wasn’t doing it. His obnoxious display was just to show how out of place it was when a leader acted that way. I think he was testing her as a prelude to how she would react to the ‘Jillian, Queen of Faq’ remark.
