    Tempted to reply with only "I'm not arsed." But being biased can have many a context, vary in extent, and is quite dependent upon subject matter, hence 'some way.' Here ends this case of mumbles.

    Aside; I'm not interested in leadership, so feel free to count me out of that debate. Vorak would rank high, but for fear of him leading us off the edge of a cliff for his own amusement, I'd likely be in favour of someone else taking charge.

    I call apprentice Shaman, since I got beaten to it. :D Man, the image of a post-apocalyptic House of Lords tribe is a beautiful thing. You'd have to be capable of forming a coherent arguement defending your usefulness before we'd let you join. Idiots would be summarily banned from the tribe. Challenges would be met with a torrent of insults followed by brief but effective ultra-violence.

    Count me IN.

    I know we never derail a thread, but I thought Xiao_Caity would like this web comic. It's a little risque'.

    Back to topic: Mesteut is an idiot and expects too much from anonymous people.

    o_O I honestly have no idea what to say. I am both disgusted and highly amused.

    Rosie and me stumbled on the comic about finding a perfect skull cup and we decided it was funny enough to read from the start.

    We were pretty surprised at how nasty it was. That didn't stop us from reading the whole thing though.

    I guess the idea to order apprentices to run around nakes is a Polish one as well.

    I'm suprised you have not encountered the power of kurwa.

    That is most decidedly not true! They would be castrated, then used as scapegoats, basic food gatherers, and front-line soldiers. Also, you're welcome to be my apprentice at anything. :D

    Fish: Thanks for the link, I'm checking that out later. I've a huge list of webcomics I read. ^_^

    The only one I would ever recognise as shaman is JungleJapes.

    I know that whatever position I apply for, I will eventually end up as either some sort of high ranked fighter (Not front-line cannon fodder, rather the one that sends them in), or the village idiot.

    EDIT:
    Having a Battle Royal doesn't really help us conquering the world.

    And I guess that killing of each other is the only way to end the bickering.

    Well, now when you speak of it, yeah, I've encountered kurwa a lot. Got it mixed up with "Achtung, Die Kurve" (Aka Zatacka) at first, but then we looked it up we realized that it was something different.

    A post-apocalyptic House of Lords tribe, that's a good idea. What for position shall I have in the tribe? Perhaps I could do the strategy and tactics for the soldiers, and keep the men in line.

    It's The Regime all over again, only this time in a post-apocalyptic setting. War never changes, neither does The House of Lords it seems.

    Anyway, as Chief, I hereby appoint Arthgon as Second Carrier of the Sharp Spear, whose duty is to spend the early morning hours standing guard at the rope bridge leading over the canyon that separates us from the outside world.

    I apply for the position of the guy that does nothing but sleep in his tent all day.

    I probably more applied to lead the army or in Second Command, that's because I am fearless, strategist, loyal, and can rally the troops and lead them to victory. Also I am not afraid to fight a bloody war.

    Huh. You do realize that the "soldiers" you talking about will be other persons from this forum and no one will give a damn about what you'll order them?

    So they don't need someone that would have lead them to victory? What for other positions in the tribe can I choose from?

    You know you can always be the generic tribesman who only hunts, eats, dances, has lots of sex with tribeswomen and sleeps.

    You could also take the position of pissing me off when odds are slim. I have rage issues, which often lead to me causing more harm than intended. I hereby apply for the position of utilitarian psychopath.
