After spending almost the whole year with house baratheon, i have to say it has been a great experience. A lot of the credit does indeed go to Hero. He is a job whore when he needs to be as well as a slave driver for a few House Baratheon has been the best alliance i have been in, it was so good i joined twice. Cheers for another great year! o/ House Baratheon

There are a lot of cool people i am going to miss. As former Master of Whispers for House Baratheon. Apparatus has always been diplomatic. They knew of our complications with SF and in turn did not call us in on the TOP\IRON-NpO War. However with the recent move it is understandable to see this treaty come to an end. I'm going to miss a lot of cool people in app. Hail to my TSA brothers! o/ (Conred and Darth Revan) Rand and ernie were both pretty cool people. Good luck in your future endeavors Apparatus.

o/ Lord Caparo o/ Kaskus Looking good, very respectable as always.

Welcome and good luck!

Welcome and i wish you the best in your future endeavors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkSufJAbo5U&feature=related
