Seanachai Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Originally posted by Joe Shaw: Speaking of worthless geeks, what's YOUR status here these days anyway? Still an SSN, Serf, what? Joe He's one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso. That's like being an Olde One, but to a wider audience. The Olde Ones of the Peng Challenge acknowledge the Four Horsemen as visiting Heads of State, as they are the true controllers of the Combat Mission Forums (outside the Peng Challenge, that is). Acknowledging them is fairly easy to do since one of them is and Olde One of the Peng Challenge, and another is a Seniour Knight in their own right. You should address him formally as 'Famine', or, if you are on familiar terms with him, address him as 'the bastard Emrys. Michael is here because things have gotten rather 'dodgy' on the rest of the Forum. He's here on a 'tour of the Colonies' until the political situation calms down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
