Rikard,
Perhaps we can come to some sort of a solution to the problem raised in the "What are CLANS?" thread. You are in the unique position of OHF founding father,
and an ideological humourite of the Hyena persuasion. I cannot imagine the emotional turbulance of conflicting loyalties this arouses. You have my deepest sympathies.
Thus I propose a temporary coalition Rikard. An alliance until the OHF can takes it's rightful place as a protector of decency and honesty and other gooey good stuff. We would call a moratorium on derision until some dim distant period in the future.
As a token of Hyena goodwill, please accept these three gifts. One for you, one for Larry and one for Moe... I mean Ertai.
For Larry...*hands an ornately carved Jade Kazoo*
For Ertai....*hands an ancient Mandolin*
and for you...*hands four esquisitely decorated porcelain drama masks* these symbolise the many signatures - or faces - of the one and only Rikard T.
I propose this creed Rikard
Henceforth, the posessors of the Flame of Piety and the Evangelists of Humorous Enlightenment shall put aside the disputes that have wrought such misery and woe. From this day an entente of nonagression shall be in place, and we shall pass through the fields of Iron with one purpose:
Ever vigilant to the threat of the HADB; to encroaching boredom; and to the threat of too much seriousness, we - lest we crawl up our own behinds - shall greet the day with levity and union
Of course it may need editing,
and would need ratification from a majority of Hyenas as well as yourself, but I hope we can move these talks forward Rikard. I await your response.
