The administrator actually died 10 years before...

From the DevLog:<STRONG>In fact, the human administrator that was placed over the elves in the second war log I posted last week had actually died 10 years before, killed by an elf.</STRONG>

No wonder he declared war on his own civilization!  I don't see how a dead administrator would be able to declare a war though (unless he was undead).

Funnily enough, his decision to invade his former human masters makes a LOT MORE sense in the context of him being a vengeful spirit...

If it wasn't for the fact that I have no doubt in my mind that it was a glitch

Id say it was a hint that there finally is ghosts or intelligent undead who can take up the jobs of their former living selves.

Wait, so he was an undead spirit who's a millitary commander for the race that had slain him?  If I have this right, it's seriously weird.  And cool at the same time.

Psh, the last Pope had been dead for like fifteen years.  They just dropped him down the stairs.

A G-lich?...A g-lich...A glich...A glitch! Ahaha!

That took me far too long to work out.  I must be tired. Or stupid. Or stupidly tired.

What I want to know is what the human king was thinking when he appointed that guy as a new leader for the elvish people.
