A VERY

MERRY

CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL,

DYNAMITE PLANTED,

FROM YOUR TEAM OF ADMIN BUDDIES, AND ME,

CAIN!

Congratulations WickedSick!!!!!!!!

This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is MINE.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.
I must fire my rifle true.
I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire,
the noise of our bursts, nor the smoke we make.
We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights, and its barrel.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.
I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God I swear this creed.
My rifle and I are the defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but PEACE.

My men, my soldiers, my brothers.
We have fought many battles, killed many men. We have survived among the strongest and we stand here today talking amongst each other. This is quite a feat, I must say. I have had the pleasure fighting along side you all in these glorious battles. We are the strong, and unlike those filthy kings who hide at the back of their ranks, I do not hide, for I am one of you. We don't back down, we do not hide. We are the ones that others fear. THEY are the ones who hide. THEY are the ones that look at us with respect. Why should WE be the ones running? Nay, why should we waste our breath on this filthy word called fear? Aren't we the fearless? Aren't we the ones that serve ourselves instead of a filthy king? As a stronghold, we fight under no flag. As a team, we fight under the flag of dP. Why is that? Because we are the elite.

You will not die, for you will only die when I say. I will never say for you to die, because I protect my men, I protect my soldiers. I protect my brothers. As my brothers in arms, are you with me?

WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY:

I'd like to welcome our newest member to the community:

Duckiez (I thought yellow was a good idea)

Congratulations, man, and have a great time!

And now...

PROMOTIONS ANNC 1:
(there may be a few more forthcoming.)

I just got their replies early today, and so I am very proud to say:

Please give a warm welcome to CRO INTRUDER and IrishWolfhound as dP's newest Community Administrators, and in Intruder's case, our first European administrator!

Congratulations, Gentlemen.

And on a somewhat sadder note, I wish to extend my personal condolences, and I'm sure those of the rest of the community, towards CRO INTRUDER for the loss of his grandmother. May she rest in peace.

Level 8 and 9 Administrators:

Meeting tomorrow, 2100h EST- that's 0200z that night.

Meet on the ventrilo server.

Thanks very much, and I count on you all to be there.

I apologize to all european administrators about the time, too- I'll post a thread with the contents of this meeting in it after the meeting for you all, and if you want, we can have another meeting at a more convenient time for you- I'm totally open to that.

can have my kids.
