c) I think, from the format and not the content of Motep's PM, we can reasonably assume that it was written by Sigurd. Not the case with Tratorix's.
This the role pm posted by Tratorix:

Eirik Bloodaxe, King of Jorvik (York).

You are the ruler of Jorvik, a carved out kingdom north in England. You are Norwegian by birth and a former Varangian guard. Trained and schooled in the skills of war makes you a formidable foe in Holmgang.

You have been summoned to this ting by the rulers of the Norse world to settle a dispute between Harald Bluetooth of Denmark and Haakon Jarl of Norway. You are here to give evidence to the dishonorable union of interests between Denmark and Jomsborg. But you still have a strong feeling about who should rule Norway. It should have been you and not that brat Haakon.

Your survival is important. The Jotun is out to get you and your retinue. The Jotun will win if they kill you and the other Lords.

You have a champion in your retinue. This is Ragnar the Anglo-Saxon, one of your most trusted men.
If you are challenged to a Holmgang he can take your place. If the Holmgang you have been challenged to is the one which will be fought I will send you a pm with the question of you wanting a champion in your place. Remember, the Jotun will be looking for you and will discover that someone took your place.

Your champion is: Twilightblade

Holmgang ability: = 7

And this one is from Motep:

Erik the Victorious, King of Sweden.

You are the ruler of Sweden, and a former Varangian guard. Trained and schooled in the skills of war makes you a formidable foe in Holmgang.

You have been summoned to this ting by the rulers of the Norse world to settle a dispute between Harald Bluetooth of Denmark and Haakon Jarl of Norway. You are here to give evidence to the dishonorable union of interests between Denmark and Jomsborg.

You have a champion in your retinue. This is Þórvaldr Hjaltason of Iceland, one of your most trusted men.
If you are challenged to a Holmgang he can take your place. If the Holmgang you have been challenged to is the one which will be fought I will send you a pm with the question of you wanting a champion in your place.

GH. Are trying to explain to me with serious face that Tratorix, somehow magically was able to get most of the whole sentences of a pm he did not have right, word from word, with only his knowledge of Norse mythology? Please, if someone should be using tribesy smileys, it should be me, while reading your bollocks excuse for defense as Tribesy might say.
