Hey! I’m rather nice, you don’t see me sending weird mutant creatures out into villages and such… ☹

I’d make a good leader…I’m am a **Princess** after all

I can’t believe I leave this thread for a mere week or so, and there’s already new leadership.

New leaders are normally not ready to be completely in control…

Pssst…If anyone wants to plan a coup, let me know–but make sure **Princess** doesn’t find out.

HEY! I heard that :mad:

Agenda is as follows:

1. Find a place in this damn castle that we can all be safe.
2. Think about what food we want and figure out how to get the CHUD’s to make it for us
3. Look for some poor, innocent newbie to des…i mean…initiate

**Sunspace** , you can still do those things honey, just not on my watch 😃

OK, everybody, I’m back from sacking the village with the Hoard. It took a while, but my boys needed a workout after sacking France.

So, guessing from the fact that **Princess** is swinging the “Evil Keys” around, I missed a little bit. But I smell pizza, so it can’t be that bad.

Well, dang. There goes my idea of, y’know, actually making _friends_ with them…

It has tentacles. I don’t know how or why, but it has tentacles.

[sub]Other than the tentacles, it wasn’t half bad…[/sub]

Care for a looted cigar? Or perhaps a sip from this looted barrel of porter?

Ahhh… the taste of loot and plunder.

Yes, I’m in charge. But it’s not all that bad…I’ve organised for some chocolate, beer, and a few dvd’s to be delivered 😃

Well, you could be really evil and screen Leslie Stevens’ _Incubus_, for instance, in which William Shatner proves that he can’t act in Esperanto either…

Or how about Disney’s _The Black Hole_?
