First of all, I am aware that Lord Sartan does not care if more blood is spilled in his temple. I do not follow him like I used to, and I do not expect or even particularly want him to expend his time and energy on the cattle that barge in there on occasion. I only brought it up because it is against certain people's code of honour to attack in such temple in the first place, and I was curios as to how Molotov would respond to it.

Secondly... yes, I do spend a good deal of my time standing in vibes. I am not a Warlock, or a member of any Magi guild, but have been able to maintain a sufficient supply of crystals all the same. My enemies hate me with a passion because of my effectiveness against them, and that same effectiveness has gained me many allies as well- hence my crystal supply.

And that brings me to the subject of my crystals. No, I will not tell anyone where I am getting them from. My supply is not unlimited however, which is why I tend to keep the same set of vibes up as long as possible, for days on end if necessary, and that is why I had them up when Molotov and his group attacked me in the temple. It's good to be prepaired.

Lastly, Guiliaume. I'm not sure what you expected of the Montaganets, but in case you never actually stopped to look around at what you joined and donated your gold to, here is what our Dowager looks like.

Dressed in an ornate brocaded gown of thick black velvet trimmed with exotic red fur, the Dowager Montagenet regards the world as her bauble to play with. Though age has hunched her shoulders and lined her face, she is still a large and imposing woman with dark eyes that seem bore into everything they touch.

You have constantly tried to tell me how to run my clan, while your own sits in stagnation. You have spoken to me over the boards and channels as if we were enemies, when we were supposed to be brothers. You donated a good amount of gold to the family, and we thank you for that- but that doesn't mean you can take it all away when you realize that you aren't clan head. You gave it to us to use, and you took most of it with you when you left. Had it not been for my forsight to withdraw half of the family coffers during your last hissy fit among us, we would be broke.

Despite what many of you say, I do not kill without reason. If I attack someone and someone else attacks me in defense of them, I generally but not always consider that reason enough to attack them later on. It's simple- if you're not willing to face me, then don't mess with me. I never kill anyone with a good deal less might than I have, but rather send a smaller family member after them. In way, that's fun for everyone. That last coment is directed towards Irontounge really- your killing Zib multiple times for chilling you is ridiculous.

My main goal is ensuring the prosperity of my family, and it has been prospering. We are mainly Ashtanites and a coulpe Hashanites, and building a successfull clan is hard work. So far my clan has grown by leaps and bounds, it's members are happy and so am I. I think I know what is best for my own clan, so everyone please stop telling me how to run it and what it should be.

Apparently a guy can't try to make some funny posts without everyone thinking he's a moron. Here is my first truly serious one in quite awhile.

Thanks for reading.
