Given the regularity and consistent content of flyting posts in recent years, the workload placed upon Hashani secretaries, scribes, and ghostwriters surely consumes valuable person-hours that could be redirected to productive scientific pursuits. To streamline the tit-for-tat process, I offer the enclosed form letter, which should significantly increase efficiency and efficacy in both composition at home and comprehension abroad.

A man of progress,
Ser Aerek Ancyrion

---

[City-state, affiliated group, or individual],

Your [recent act of revenge] will not go unanswered, and you shall rue the day you provoked the might of Hashan. Fools, do you not remember when we [original act that prompted reprisal]? We shall repay this unprompted aggression [number]-fold, and shall not stop until [unreasonable demand].

The [march of Progress and/or will of Darkness] dictates [justification for hostilities], and Hashan shall always answer thusly.

Signed,
[usual suspect]
