:lol1: Wow, this is absolutely laughable, is she going to spam and photoshop you out of the war? I can't imagine that TOP has a single member less qualified to lead.

Well [i]somebody[/i] seems to not like Sky irrationally.

Ouch bro, that's not really something you say to a lady!

Do women need some kind of special protection from harsh words? She wouldn't be qualified for the job of Grandmistress of TOP if that were so, especially during a war like this.

So I guess you agree with Bob Sanders that she isn't qualified for the job, but for sexist reasons.

I completely agree. It's a travesty that this has allowed to happen. I've personally taken the steps to start a formal Vote of No Confidence on Grandmistress SkiGreenChick with the reasoning being that Bob Sanders doesn't approve. Don't worry bro. We'll take her down.

I think you're reading a wee bit too much into a cheap little gag there, champ. :mellow:

I hope Avernite is well. And wish my friends in TOP only the best.
[/quote]
Avernite is well, but he is rather busy and cannot continue in this role.

Precisely why have you chosen to single out those two characteristics as some form of example of perceived incompetence? The only attribute that spamming would hint towards is an over-abundance of time, which is far from a detriment to good leadership. Quite the opposite, it is a bonus, though admittedly not the most important one.

Quite good to hear. People being otherwise is never good.

Hi Bob Sanders! Thanks for reminding me of reason #482 to not want anything to do with Valhalla:

[quote]
#482 In the halls of Valhalla, there is a beast. He is like to open wide his gaping maw and shout absurdities. Yea while he doth dwell in the halls of Valhalla, thou shalt not enter therein, nor partake ye of their women excepting that they first join themselves to the Platypus. Yea, even say I, Johan.[/quote]

Sexism is no laughing matter. Starts off as an off-colour joke around the office, and next thing you know Mary gets passed over for emperor, SkyGreenChick can only become Grandmistress when someone quits, and the rest of the women of the Cyberverse toil away in middle management blinded from the glare of refracted light coming through the glass ceiling. Disgusting.

Are you Bob Sanders really to stupid to read?

1.5 years ago called, it wants its joke back

How dare you, she's a very nice lady!

Also, you can never have enough Timber

What does nice have to do with being an alliance leader? I'll take someone who can handle a basic noob rogue case while being MoFA of an alliance. Lest you all forget she was Valhalla's MoFA awhile back.

Yep, not like I have ever been in an alliance in which Sky was involved in FA.

Because they are her [b]only[/b] FA related skills, I'm not even slightly joking.

Actually that completely wrong and you should be ashamed. I have full confidence that sky will be able to poach over enough people to make TOP win this war.


(See what I did there)

We actually have two women in our Council. Saber is very modest but she is pretty and petite.

Hey Bob, go read the Valhalla charter. The Emissary is not a job which requires any FA nor knowledge thereof. The position of Emissary only requires that one be able to spam embassies, tow the party line, and read the OWF. I do believe it is the second of these requirements that cause problems for most, considering the party line of Valhalla has traditionally been irrational. However, it seems you would make a perfect Emissary, other than your inability to express your thoughts using proper grammar.

Also, for those of you saying this was a choice (Amossio): This was a mandate from Johan via his sacred document, The Charter of The Order.
