Assist with keeping morons quiet
Hey, while we are talking to them do you think we can ask them for some refreshments? a crumpet will do nicely now...

((Hey! Not a moron!))

[Aseaheru]

((But what if you are and dont realize it?))

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Aseaheru and Gamerlord, please move this conversation to the OOC thread.

[Gamerlord]

((Sorry. Anyway.))

Twelfthly, just WHAT do you think my position is?

Sounds like he wants the job as spokehead for the rest of us. Aka your job Goldie. You might want to be careful.

[Dariush]

Too long, didn't listen. Would someone who doesn't consider pithiness a sin catch us up in a way that won't cause any of us to die of boredom?

((Also, since I only received a single response in OOC thread, I''ll ask here: does my IC font look any different for you? Specifically, it should be all in caps and have prominent serifs.))

((It's serifs alright, but I don't see ALLCAPS.))

"No, I want the whole hydra to be able to speak in person on our behalf.


((Have you considered using capslock?))

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Sorry, my dwarven friends. A bit of discussion has been taking place among us. However, I believe we have reached a sort of consensus.

"We all agree that you dwarves should provide us with food and shelter when we are performing duties for you, of course. Fish would be nice, but any meat will do in a pinch. And as for shelter...well, whatever's convenient and comfortable.
"The biggest bone in our craw, insofar as contention goes, is the issue of our representation. I and many others agree, however, that we would like the right to listen in on and speak at meetings of your...town council? Board of Elders? Whatever ruling body you possess. We don't request a spot on it, although some of us desire such, but we would like a say. After all, we have more or less thrown our lot in with you--if enemies of dwarves are to be ours, and the actions of dwarves affect our life, we feel that we should be able to speak our mind.

"Is this acceptable to you?"

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Turn 15: Rocky Start

"Do you really think that we would accept something that favors you, but gives us nothing!  That is quite an insult that you are sending our way.  We will not grant you a place upon our High Council of Generals, nor allow you to be around when we are meeting.  Know that we will provide you food and shelter, but only when you are fighting alongside our armies, as you yourself have said.  Any other time you will need to make-do yourselves.  You will also fight alongside our armies when we choose to request your assistance.  These terms are mildly negotiable, but not by much."

Yeah, you really should have given them some things in what was said.  It would have given you a boost that may have prevented this.

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Oh, my dearest apologies. I thought we had already agreed that we would help with defense of your lands and other tasks where our size and strength would come in handy. Truly sorry about that. I suppose I'm allowed some mistakes?

And might I ask why we cannot even speak for ourselves?"

[Remuthra]

A conscript may fight because he is made to. A captain must fight because he believes in the fight. If you would not have us sit on your council, let us send a representative to serve as our voice in this alliance.

[CyberUrist]

"Our apologies of the dearest mouse. A gift, perchance life; you shall have your hamburger. It is a glourious night."

Basically, apologize and see if we can get them a gift in the future.

[Dariush]

Oh you should not have done that, Goldie...

Fluffy: bite Goldie. Moderately gently, we may still need him later.

[scapheap]

Remain silent

Fluffy: bite Goldie. Moderately gently, we may still need him later.

Jimmie-bob: lightly nip Fluffy in the ear. Possibly invite Walton.
