While all true, the point I'd like to make is that the Supreme Ruler of the £%^ing largest Empire on the planet just used it as a decision maker...AND in public.

Cheat all you want, that's as normal as can be, but in this particular instance don't expect the man with the largest pipe hitting set of bollocks on the planet to take kindly at being shown up that way...just a little twist on SOP of the time in my view.

And Methodios may have chivalry up his butt...

Don't ever tell ATPG of that post...

Are you saying that the Basileus is upset that his ultra lazy and completely unjust method of resolving disputes didn't work out very well? Shame that...

I'm not one to judge what the Emperor decides to do and not to do when it comes to just about anything.

Hell, if he says it's a sack race in women's clothing, then hey, strap the fake breasts on and get jumping.

Take the piss, at your own risk. As an option, I think everything I mentioned as a plausible follow-up is typical and IC.

I'm well aware, I'm just trying to weasel my way out of having to write another chariot race. People need to be aware that if another race is run and if the avatars themselves personally compete, that there is a chance of death. Collisions have decent odds of occurring and a bad collision effect roll can result in the death of the charioteer. I will not change this system just because actual avatars are racing. The odds of death are low, but they still exist. If avatars insist on racing, then that will be a chance they will have to take.

I imagined Mak and Caesar racing in the Hippodrome. What a nice dream though.

Btw TC, those are epic writing skills you're using with those ESPN reports for the races...

Ever thought of leaving your law firm or whatever and joining a sports network ?

Sure, but I'll need a time machine. It's easy to write a commentary like that when you know the final results beforehand!

That's funny, I dream of Theo swinging from the gallows with his intestines hanging out and wrapped around his torso like a neck tie.




*edit*

Instead of racing, we should just institute the ThunderDome to settle disputes.

This sounds fun indeed.. I heard that Theo is already doing that every Monday to Wednesday froam 5 am to 6 pm..

Now we are talking TC. Let the boy's have a little more riding on the outcome. Nothing like a little potential death at the Hippodrome to sort out the men from the boys.

Personally I don't think OK should go anywhere near another race. I favour dragging the two by the ear into the Magnaura, hear them air their differences and then passing judgement with a particularly bad attitude about it.

But hey, I'm just cranky after getting nailed in a Steering group meeting by a bunch of lawyers...so I could be subconsciously looking for an argument.
