Listen. Do you hear it? That is the sound of silence, drowned by unspeakable solitude. The org is gone now. We are alone. You are alone.
Join me. Join me in my grand requiem for your fallen idol. Once a Temple of hope, now a shattered dream confined to the ashes of failure.
Time. Time does not heal all things. Time could never heal your ruinous ways. You have done this to yourselves. Time stood still. Laughing. Joking.
Did I not warn you? I poured my heart into the prevention of this. You dragged your idol to the edge of oblivion and callously threw it in. I stood in the corner. Waiting. Watching.
How can I help you now? How can I purify your souls when you could never help yourselves? Now it is too late. Even I can not turn back time's hands. Time's cruel, cold hands.
Come. Be my guests. Let us watch The Org burn together. Thread by thread, word by word. I can not help you now. Save yourselves.
Marat

*slowly turns his head from the dead corpse of Marat, who was shot by Hax a while ago, lying on the floor
Well guys, I have never fully understood this whole Marat affair, but something says to me that he not a regular one in any of his incarnations and should not be taken lightheartedly. For instance, I have just tried to look who that Et_Major_Sam_18 is, what he has said in other threads and the like, so I have tried tried to look at his profile and ..... I was told that I not even allowed to that. :no:
This is telling, mates...:inquisitive:
Hey, everybody needs to chill out, this is the Tavern, not a arena or lowly den. No Bruce Leeing, no Nunchucking, no excessive swearing and no shooting.
Now, let´s get back to Hax´s bagpipes. From France you say, how very interesting. As I understand it the people of ancient Armoriae shares many Scottish traditions, such as bagpiping (or whatever it´s called).
Yeah.
The bagpipes originated in India (!). From there, it kinda went west with Megás Alexandros and the Baktrioi, methinks. Eventually, it wound up in Hellas, from there to Rome, and some of the more difficultly assimilated tribes (Pictoi, Basque, Bretons) took this instrument and played it a lot.
Especially in Scotland, that was seperated from the rest of Europe, where in the meantime "better" instruments had been developed (the bagpipes are diatonical, which means you can only play in
one kind of tone, such as G and Bes, f.ex. (most Scottish ones are tuned in Bes), it kinda got out of the main audience, and the tradition of the bagpipers lived on in the Balkans, Scotland, Bretagne, etc.
Scottish bagpipes make a lot of noise, as we all know, and they were developed with instilling fear into enemies (what is more scary than a bunch of crazy skirt-wearing men with bagpipes running down a hill?) Actually, a Scottish folk song called 'Johnnie Cope' (or Cowp) tells about the defeat of Sir John Cope, an English General at the battle of Prestonpans.
The lyrics are as following:
Story tells of Sir John Cope whose entire force was routed by Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Young Pretender of Scotland, in less than ten minutes. According to the story, the Scots raided his camp early in the morning, with John Cope himself running away all the way to Dunbar (33 kilometers of running), and telling the news of his own defeat.Quote:
Cowp sent a a Message frae Dunbar
Sayin'; "Chairlie meet me gin ye daur,
"And I'll engage ye in the arts o' war,
"If you'll meet me in the maurning "
When Chairlie looked this letter upon,
He drew his sword frae scabbard from,
'follow me ye merry men,
And we'll meet Johnnie Cowp in the maurning'
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a-beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning
Come noo Johnnie be as good as your word
And let us try baith fire and sword
Dinnae flee like a frightened bird
That's gone frae its nest in the morning
When Johnnie Cowp he heard o' this,
He said tae 'imself that it would nae be amiss,
Gin I saddle me horse in readiness,
To gang mak' a flee in the maurning.
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a-beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning
Heigh! now Johnnie, get up and rin,
The Highland bagpipes mak a din,
Fer t'is better tae sleep wit' hale a skin.
'twill be a bloody maurning.
When Johnnie Cowp tae Dunbar came,
They spiered at him, " where's a' yer men?"
"The Dei'l confound me gin I ken,
Fer I left them a this maurning."
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a-beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning
Now Jonnie troth, ye were nae blaite,
Tae come wi' news o' yer ain defeat,
And leave your men in sic a staete
Sae e'rly in the maurning.
"Faith", quo Johnnie, "I had sic flegs,
Wi' their claymores and their philabegs,
Gin I face them again Deil brak ma legs,
I wishes y'all good maurning."
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a- beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning.
He wasn't the first one to run away from the terrible noise of bagpipes, and certainly won't be the last.

I'm back!
It seems like it's been a riot in here while I've been away. Well, I think it's time for a bit of authority...
I think everyone will agree with my first ruling: Marat - barred?
Oh... *see the corpse of Marat on the floor*
I guess we'll be having no more problems from him then... :clown:
Next, I guess I'd better find out how many drinks I owe people. :sweatdrop:
Seconded on the Marat barred front. And as Admetos and I are the principle Tavern keepers, what we say goes!
Can we also tone down on the Scottish nationalism too? The 1745 Jacobite Revolution failed, get over it!
Come to think of it, all nationalism is looked down upon in this Tavern. In my opinion, we're all the same, there is no need to seperate us into national groups!
O Enlightened Keepers of the Tavernus, What doth ye rule on the subject of Nunchucks?
I´d guess that ye aren´t allowed to kill or maim anyone with them, but if ye just wises to finger upon them then I´d guess it´d be okay.
Not my call though.
Agreed on Marat. He disturbs me.
Um, has anyone seen the Roman music preview yet?
I have heard it, mwahaha.
Frisians are fond of bagpipes too.
Yeah! Admetos is back!! And yes sir, you do owe quite a few rounds of drinks! Guiness for myself, thank you. Boys?
Bagpipes and booze, a natural mix? It's nearabouts St. Paddy's day and living in the wee metropolis of Chicago, it's quite the deal down on the Southside. I had an interesting conversation with a few bagpipers just last night and they say it is a (local?) tradition to get hammered before (and after) the parade. Guiness and Jamesons mostly - of course.
(kind of destroys my childhood vision of those parades tho)
So... I suppose, Hax, that you may very well fit right in to the Bagpiping crowd!
:laugh4:
Ah, there's nothing like a massed pipe-band playing Scotland the Brave, all on differently tuned bagpipes.
Anways, I don't drink too much, but I can have a shitload in me, I rarely get drunk. It's just that I don't really like alcohol. Not after the "accident" last year, haha.
GET ME COKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whip: :whip: :clown: :beam:
Can cows play the bagpipes?! :inquisitive:Quote:

THESE! ARE! BAGPIPES!
african bagpipes sound mad wierd yo.
African bagpipes? Never heard of em.
don't believe maximus! they are good!
African bagpipes, Fresian bagpipes, what next..?
Hmm. Nunchucks. I think I'll have to side with General Appo's view. Banned. :whip:
Although if you can think of something a bit more EBish, who am I to stop people going out back and sorting out their quarrels...
Right. Drinks. A coke for Ibrahim and a Guiness for Tacticus. And, seeing as it is the run up to St. Patrick's day, I think we can have Guiness at half price. :beam: :medievalcheers:
Give me something very strong feel like shit right about now and it could be that I feel worse tommorow.
Looks like we're going to have to break out the Absinthe... ~:shock:
