    AFTERMATH HITS RECORD HIGH POSTS!!!

    It's official folks. The Aftermath of the Assassination has hit an all time record number of posts for a single thread! As of today it's numbers reached 202 posts. The only other thread that is still ahead is You Know You're a Fencer .... with 216 post located in the Water Cooler. Since it is only the second thread to establish such a feat it is certain that it will surpass You Know You're a Fencer in short oder.

    It all began with the sudden death of the late Lady Lorelei Ledgerto. She was instantly killed and died in the arms of Naekos Servaya when she was peirced in the back by an assassin's longbow at the first Arconian costume ball. The assassin is still at large and clues to his identity have been sketchy at best. It is still uncertain as to why this event occured. However, it is felt that it has something to do with one Sir George of Washington and a mysterious war hammer that was owned by the deceased. That hammer is now owned by Lady Ledgero's only sister, Dame Josephine D'Escrime.

    Lady Ledgerto was best known in Arconia for her amazing hammer ability. Her strong arm had an accurate throwing radius of good 360 cubits. She was able to knock a man's mask from his head, including head, at a distance of 200 cubics. For this reason she had been appointed to the King's special task force under Sir Servaya as a demolition expert. She was instrumental in the mission to recover the kingdom's webmaster, Craig.

    Since her demise, Lady Ledgerto's legacy lives on by way of her sister, Jo, sort of.
    Though not as skilled in weapons as the Lady, the Dame has made attempts to serve Arconia, sort of. Through trial, error and strong willed determination, the Dame has certainly made life interesting for those intrusted with her care and training, sort of.

    As the 200th post was approached and then confiscated by our illustrious King Arcon, Jo was on the verge of disaster, once again. It was then that our own Serana stepped in to aid her. Together and with a little unsolicited help from a crazy Englishman, they succeeded in vanquishing the dreaded George of Washington.

    So, what lies ahead in the Aftermath? Time and improv only know. Be sure to stay tuned to this website and follow the exciting adventures of daring Fantasy Land Arconians.

    ARCONIA FOREVER!!!

    I can't wait to see what happens!

    Even though I have been thwarted twice to destroy Arconia for my own personal glory I must admit... I am fan.

    I can only hope that my next evil attempt will reach that many posts. I am in awe.

    Yours in treachory,

    P.S. What's a cubic?

    A cubit is approximately 18 inches long. It is the measurement that waas used to build the famous arc de Noah.

    Hey, I know that routine! "Noah, this is God. You will build an arc, 200 cubits long."

    "Right...what's a cubit?"

    Actually the ark was 300 cubits by 50 cubits.
    Perhaps the Lady's skill is a bit over estimated. But then again she is a legend now.

    I think "The Aftermath" is winding up...things are starting to filter outside of the cottage area. We'll see what happens...

    Hmm...our momentum seems to have been broken. The Aftermath is almost definitely finished, but all things must pass. I'm not sure what's going on now...
