Do you not realize Mhork wanted to attack Arrakis because of the cathedral fiasco

[Lord Mhork]

Oh please. Does Elybria really feel as though the Holy Empire would put forth so much effort over a billion marc waste of our time?

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

How are your smartphones coming along

[Lord Mhork]

Well I would assume. We'd be further along if it weren't for the fact that we now have to arm a defensive force due to unwarranted animosity.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Klazam]

Jason- my investigation team was the one who provided me with this information, not Arrakis. And I am saying this Torture debacle is between these two nations. having assured ourselves that Mhork is not being duplicitous, we are done with this thing.

High Chancellor Klazam

[RedPanda]

Who

would

torture someone rather than giving him to the proper authorities. You had no right to torture Markman Ghaor. It's, quite frankly, disgusting and despicable of you. Also we feel it's time for you to hand him over.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

I'm with mhork on this. any agent or spy should either be imprisoned if found guilty of activities which harmed people or else should be sent back to their own county. torturing someone for answers is not right.

also you tortured a guy who was trying to make people dissent. That's terrible.

[Lord Mhork]

And you're completely alright with Arrakis maintaining Mr. Ghaor rather than not turning him over to the proper authorities? As for the torture issue, we have already stated that the leader of Arrakis is disgusting for allowing this and being ok with it occurring. We wish no further links to this nation once we receive what is rightfully ours.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[RedPanda]

My opinion of mhork and Arrakis has switched places after recent events.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

I'm confused. Are you claiming responsibility for the man or not.

[Klazam]

My opinion of mhork and Arrakis has switched places after recent events.

uh, can you clarify this?

[RedPanda]

I was on Defenders side when I found out about the whole Ghaor affair. not anymore.

[Lord Mhork]

As we have repeatedly stated, Markman Ghaor was a rogue agent who we would like to be try for his crimes. This is not new information. He is ours; his work is not. We know we are responsible for what he did, however we never endorsed it. We had sought to right the wrongs, not as a form of repentance but as a form of common decency. What are you trying to learn with that question?

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Magua]

Oh, ahem, pardon us for, um, interrupting.

$3bln on Magma power plant research

(read: industry)

$3bln on improvements to rare earth mineral mining

$3bln on improvements in oil mining

$1bln on improvements to healthcare

---

Apparently, there are some decrees and whatnot that I'm being told to give as Mayor.

Decree the first is to affirm with, ah, Orthel, that starting next season both of us will contribute $1bln per season to our mutual endeavors in booze, underground architecture, and magma-induced fun.

Decree the second is that we want to make it plainly clear that if there is an enemy agent found within our borders, we consider it our every right to, ahem, beat him, whip him, hammer him, feed him to the carp in our rivers, toss him off of huge towers erected solely for the purpose of tossing people off, slam drawbridges on him, drown him, etcetera etcetera etcetera. All praise Armok!

Decree the third is that we will not get involved in this overland conflict.

Decree the fourth is that, while we understand beneficence of chesskid's orgy gesture, we, ah, have work to do.

[Lord Mhork]

I can't help but feel we should have some standards on public bigotry disclosure, as I count at least two or three nations whose motives are completely secret.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[JDGA]

Castelia would like to make it known that its motives are to abuse its knowledge of game mechanics to minmax its way to the top of all the rankings, and to eat popcorn.

[Lord Mhork]

LAM: Lynch all

Also stay tuned for the exciting inauguration of the 43rd Lord of Mhork

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Lord Mhork]

Lynch all minmaxers*

[inspiratieloos]

Castelia would like to make it known that its motives are to abuse its knowledge of game mechanics to minmax its way to the top of all the rankings, and to eat popcorn.

Don't forget only making public those rankings in which Castelia is at the top.

[chesskid3]

okezzians, do you guys want to increase money into our research to take all those top spots?

[Lord Mhork]

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. As you know, I am Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World, though today I am something so much more and I am so pleased to have been granted this honor. Today I will play the role of Master of Ceremonies at this inauguration of the 43rd Lord of Mhork. Our current Lord has served us faithfully for these past 20 years, but His time of calling has ended. He will be free from the burdens of decision and the responsibility for both the nation and the Church's followers worldwide. Fifteen years ago today He met his successor. He trained him in the nuances of policy and foreign affairs as well as taught him the truths of the Book of Mhork. It is thrilling to finally meet him.

"However first I have the honor of introducing the 42nd Lord of Mhork who shall give his departing address:"

~Roar of applause~

"Ladies and gentlemen: your Lord of Mhork!"

~A healthy man of 55 with greying hair approaches the podium and begins to speak~

"My fellow believers, My faithful flock, I welcome you all. I welcome you to say goodbye. It is tragic that I should go, but let that not detract from the celebration that today truly is. After all, the oak dies so that it may may the soil fertile for the acorn.

"This has been a rough period of time in Mhorkish history. Especially these last few months. We have seen the beginnings of Mhorkish influence in foreign lands, a part of our attempt to illuminate the world to Our cause. This has been a period of growth and learning too. We have seen nations reject Our teachings. We've seen nations question Mhorkish integrity, Mhorkish honesty, the very Mhorkish identity, but We have persevered. We have dealt with international crises. We have dealt with espionage abroad, missions never authorized and plans never approved, but We have survived. No We have thrived. In spite of foreign investments and other financial hardships we are still one of the wealthiest nations in the world. We are still at the forefront of honest peace, cooperation, and progress."

~More applause~

"These all have as much to do with the faithful as with Me. I promise you this. And so I hope that you will be as faithful to my successor as you have been to Me. It is now My honor, nay My pleasure, to turn this back over to Mr. Tor'Kin. Thank you all."

~Thunderous applause~

"Yes ladies and gentlemen that was your 42nd Lord of Mhork. And now it my great honor to bring to the stage your next Lord of Mhork who will lead us for hopefully the next 30 years just like his predecessor has. Ladies and gentlemen: the 43rd Lord of Mhork!"

~Deafening applause as a young man of 25 approaches the podium, beaming at the audience~

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I am your new Lord of Mhork!"

~Roars of approval~

"As my predecessor said, these are troubling times. These are time of uncertainty and for some even panic. I speak to you now to tell you to put your minds at ease. Under My leadership, the Holy Empire will thrive! We shall see an end to tyranny worldwide. We shall fight for the peace and coexistence that can exist once We all can put aside our differences and focus on the sameness that binds Us. We are all people on Mhork's beautiful world. We are all humans and deserve to be treated as such by one another; We all deserve love, respect, and honesty regardless of any surface differences, be them race, gender, religion, anything. Mhork teaches us to love one another and love one another We shall!

"There are many looming issues nowadays, and one of the biggest comes from a single man: Markman Ghaor, otherwise known as Tch'Tanah. Mr. Ghaor was found inciting revolts in the land of Arrakis and very nearly was the cause of armed conflict between the Holy Empire and other members of the world community."

~Loud booing~

"And as we speak, Ghaor remains in Arrakis. He remains detained in a foreign land, tortured to give up Mhorkish secrets by a deceitful world power. Yes I said it: Arrakis cannot be trusted. The Holy Empire has been waiting for 6 months now and the closest We have come to receiving Ghaor is when he was secretly transported to our neighbors in Topos

without our knowledge or consent

!"

~Louder booing~

"This has been a point of discussion for many years in the Mhorkish community, but I have studied this issue long and hard and My first act as Lord of Mhork is to publicly announce that torture shall never be an accepted form of information extraction. Furthermore when you torture a fellow human, you are raising a hand against Mhork Himself. He instructs Us to love one another. Torture is not love. Torture is the antithesis of love.

"My second act is to issue an ultimatum to the five leaders of Arrakis. Listen closely, for these words are as serious as death itself: as it stands, you as a collective stand guilty of Conspiracy against Mhork for your lying and treachery with regard to Mr. Ghaor. However you are not sovereign Mhorkish citizens, and as such there is little that I can directly threaten you with. This does not change the fact that at least some of you proclaim membership to the Church of Mhork. In addition a significant portion of your population practices Mhorkism. I tell you this so that you will understand the severity of what is to follow:
Conspiracy against Mhork is a crime punishable by excommunication from the Church. I will offer you a pardon from this if you allow yourselves to do the right, proper, and decent thing and return Mr. Ghaor to the Holy Empire. There will be no reparations for his actions as there has been no lasting damage to your nation. If you decline to give us Ghaor, you all five will be excommunicated from the Church and We will look with great scrutiny when viewing Arrakis.

"You have 48 hours to respond."

~A hush falls over the stage~

"Now that that nasty business has been handled, today is a day of celebration! Thank you all and I look forward to my next 30 years serving you!"

~Applause then the camera shifts to Tor'Kin~

"A startling ultimatum at a startling time. Only time will tell the response to it. This has been Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World, reporting from the Capital Cathedral at the inauguration of the 43rd Lord of Mhork. Thank you."
