How much injury do you wish me to cause to him Goddess? Do you wish me to maim him for life or kill him?

If the later then give me the word and I shall spill his blood with me own two hands. *pops knuckles*

I promised that I would bathe my hands in blood if it would keep you safe, and I stand by that promise now.

Look, "Common Man", I've just had this whole thing with Esteves. I'm sick of it. If you don't like how I am ruling, then please make your own nation. The people of Pokadoodle are allowed to leave whenever they want to. I just built Pokadoodle and they came on their own free will.

*hand jerks out, grips Common by his throat*

Be glad that the Goddess has shown mercy, because if you return I may not.

*lifts Common off his feet*

*carries Common by the throat all the way to Pokadoodles shores at a slow deliberate pace*

Now, I would advise that you not return if you want to keep your head. The Goddess may spare you, but I shall insure that if you ever come back you will not cause Pokadoodle or the Goddess any harm.

Now leave....

What's funny is that you mentioned having bad guys in your first post, now you treat anyone who tries to have some fun with contempt.

Enjoy your little clique...

*pops knuckles* Now you had best get back to your rest home before I do something.... unpleasant to your spine.

I get your point estevares, but please give us a break. Pokadoodle has just won a legendary war, my people just don't feel like putting up with it for the time being.

Your Zanarkship--
I have returned from my ambassadoring to our neighboring lands, where things are quite unsettled. Our neighbors are concerned with the turmoil brewing within our waring nation. We are young, but look at all the damage that has been done by Pokadoodle, that which started out so peaceful, so serene, is now on the brink of becoming volitile. Fear not Zanark, for I know that we can rectify this situation. I call for an emergency meeting of the councel and invite all citizens of Pokadoodle, and Pokadoodle territories to attend. A restructuring of our government is in desperate need. Rest assure, no power will be taken from you, Lady. We simply need to establish a working constitution. If we cannot soon rectify our situation, our older, more powerful neighbors will surely take matters into their own hands.

Sumitpo Official Report:

I was working lately on some extended study for a long term forecast, but then I realized that there is no time (Pokadoodletime-wise) for it. The fact that the Sun never sets on this great Queendom actually means that we are “trapped” in the present. Surely the past and the future exist, but this Queendom is timeless, so any forecast is meaningless. That’s just fine too ‘cause we do live a single (extended) moment anyways (the timeless now).

I’ll keep being the most optimistic around, but I’ll stop any forecasting activity until there is a good time for it. [Smile]

*End of report*

As Head of Population Control, I would like to report that there have been over 200 births in Pokadoodle since its creation. So It is in my opinion that our population is booming (considering how few citizens we had to begin with). But I am concerned about the number of refugees that are washing ashore everyday since the end of our war with the "Prophet". I am recomending that special provisions be made so that these refugees may create their own town within the borders of Pokadoodle.

They will be required to:

1) Provide Pokadoodle with soldiers should ever the need arise
2) Pay a monthly tribute of one quarter of their grain to Pokadoodle in return for farming on Pokadoodle lands

If anyone on the Pokadoodle council has anything they would like to add I am more than willing to accomodate, but her Holiness must approve these actions first.

All praise her majesty. [Hail]

Did I not warn you to stay in your Retierment home or I would personally snap your vertebre with my bare hands?

(and you are a monster, I haven't noticed anyone else trying to start wars in peaceful threads)

So go back home or else. *pops knuckles*

What's funny is that I never started the war. If you look back, I started a character that was a bit of a cliché (with a wink and a giggle) but could have some fun, and you guys tried to kill me. So I took it to the next level.

You may find you can attract more people to play along if you treat others kindly, rather than act like a high school clique that shoves people out because they dress differently than you do.

The people will tolerate a dictator only so long...

Be silent you worm. This is a civilization that does not need war or little worms like you.

And I shall stand watch to make sure that it stays that way. None shall ever challenge the wisdom of the Goddess.

So far as head librabian i have catalogged all of our book, made a website for a library where you can see all cool news. Also you have the ability to check out books over our website in either online of print format. Also we have set up a pookadoodle publishing cooperation just in case any authors arise omong the pookadoodlians

As head mathmatician i have discovered a new type of mathematics which we haven't had the chance to name yet. the other mathmeticians and I are still trying to discover all about this new type of mathematics. (Oh and to take it off our minds, oh great Zanark, can you please decide on a name for this new type of mathematics.)

As the most pessimistic person in pookadoodle i have to say that our government has been roling down hill like a snowball and there is no chance of ever recovering WE'RE DOOMED

Thank You

AoD speaking here!! I'm too lazy to log out and log in:
Indeed we must call an emergency meeting with my council.
*bangs her Obsidian Bladed Staff of Zanarky*


The Zanark has spoken, council members assemble! All intrested parties may attend if they wish, but council members are required to be in this meeting.

The rebels are the least of our worries as far as this meeting is concerned. We have suficient guard and spies in place to know that for the time being they are acting peacefully which in more than I can say for some citizens.
This meeting is to discuss our warring ways, and to establish a constitution to keep the peace in all of our newly acquired territory, not to start another war.
I will say as I've said before, IF WE CANNOT STOP OUR WARRING WAYS, OUR OLDER, MORE POWERFUL NEIGHBORS WILL DO IT FOR US. And I can assure you will not like the consequences.

They'll be along. What we need to do is list the problems of Pokadoodle, especially where we tend to fly fist first, then we need to come up with a list of solutions.

So Problems first. Lets have them.
