Oh no never - my sword has a way of poking women unexpectedly! Why do you think l wear my helmet all the time now - it's stopped women from constantly slapping me!!!

Besides, your place is behind me where l can protect you & smite your enemies!!!

But you have relinquished the moniker I gave you for some gibberish about algebra.

Brand... He took Sir Longtongue out of his signature... I don't think he goes by that any more. He'd rather do algabra.

Speaking of algebra... Did you ever here this one? Why didn't the Romans find algebra very challenging? Because X was always 10

It's ok Rav you can stay in the hobbit hole and eat cheese and drink our beer and avoid that nasty business 😊

Well, to some algebra is a lot of gibberish .....

I have not relinquished anything m'lady - l wear my knighthood ''within'' - a true noble need not advertise his nobility ..... besides, some people thought it looked rather silly!!

How did brandie's thread turn into a scathing, and completely unfair, attack on me - a lonely knight, sworn to uphold the two things that maketh a knight: honour, chivalry, and courage. Sorry, 3 things: honour, chivalry, and courage and a devotion to duty. Anyway, l knew brave Sir Robin from our academy days and no-one liked him - he hasn't even sent us a postcard since he ran away .....

That's not what ''maketh'' a knight - that's just one of our requisite quests, like hunting 25 rabbits or curing a virgin .....

Oh yeah what's the point of this thread before it went all Monty Pythonish? Brand Marrow A little bird told me you visited another place before you came back to our little hobbit hole. What about them?

Right my Queen, now that we have laid low the LVIV hacker alliance, I can spend some time finishing my travel tale (cant fight for a while anyway until someone has time to sew my leg back on)


So, after sharing in the super-greens victory feast (no brains or fish, but they do serve some great roast pork!) and luxuriating in one last shower...I slung my faithful swords, Bokkelul and Klootzak Snijden, into their back scabbards and shambled off to find a new alliance. After crossing the deserted wasteland of failed alliances (which were full of unlucky sods searching desperately to join an active one) I finally saw a bustling metropolis in the distance. Giant Neon stickers lit up the sky leading me to the DOMINION......

Yes, guided by Flash and Empire using LINE I had found the fabled Dominion family of alliances! But which gate should I use to enter? There were Dominion Jedis, Dominion Stars, Dominion Legions, Dominion Elite, Dominion Admins, Dominion Sith, Dominion Breadloafs, Dominion Marbled Steaks, Dominion Margaritas (Ok, not really those last three, but I was getting kinda hungry....) each Gate well kept and decorated with bright lights and detailed placards.. Since my brain leaked out I have trouble reading though so the placards were of no use to me.... Fortunately, I bumped into Flash who was riding in a tank between the various gates and gave me a ride to his Alliance, Dominion Stars!

As we rode through the dominion domain, Flash was accosted by hundreds of friends and allies, greeting him, exchanging intel, news of recent victories and defeats... motorcycle messengers were constantly buzzing through the crowded streets, cheers erupting as recent victories were announced and celebrating. It was like Dominations Mardi Gras!!!

At last we arrived at the gate to Dominion Stars, Flash had to run off and Empire had recently switched to Legions, by I was warmly welcomed by Pavlo and a couple of other allies. The alliance chat was pretty slow though and I was beginning to wonder if this would be a fun alliance. But soon I was told that nearly all alliance chat takes place using LINE and that Empire would get me hooked up.... Sure enough, Empire got in touch and after a very kind and warm greeting (and more cookies!) generoiusly signed me into the Stars LINE chatroom....

Suddenly I was bombarded by a flurry of friendly chatty Stars, The Coldest Rage, Velo, smAshley, Jakillz, Momo, Silje, and many other allies including .....God! Yes, even God is part of the Dominion family of alliances and was blessing stars with his omnipresence. I was very interested in asking God some questions and he politely let me partake from the stores of his infinite wisdom... O and the ally with the best name ever.. BattleCake KitKatz!!!

It was at this point that I also made a key discovery about dominion stars, they are major sticker addicts..... along with fun, silly chat, there was a torrent of stickers... Frozen stickers, moonhead stickers, enormous emojis, psychotic bear stickers attacking helpless ducks....

Suffice to say, I stuffed myself with fun chatter and made off-color comments about the weird bear (that was my favorite) and even found some fate-stay night stickers to post... (Saber, yum)

But at this point, I was getting hungry for brains, enough of the small talk, it was time to KILL ENEMIES!

Luckily dominion stars are very good at this activity.... Flash soon launched us into war...It was fun being the only global ally, I was able to scatter howitzers in the warbases and donate lots of global weaponry to my new allies, I felt like evil arm dealer Santa Claws!

Once the war began, my seemingly innocent, sticker addicted friends begin to talk about bombarding and ravishing enemy cities and initiated a merciless attack... Even God joined in (yes, he did get 5 stars, big surprise).... their hapless opponents were crushed, eviscerated, dismembered and served (yes, I did got to eat some brains!).

The invincibility of the stars was a result of the ferocious level of organization in this alliance. Flash and Empire have an amazing array of detailed notes on war battles/records, base design, separate chat rooms for war planning and all sorts of just incredible resources for players to get the most out of the game. The Stars is their training ground and it was totally Ender's game, they are producing the future generals who will one day kick all of our asses...(and maybe murder innocent alien civilizations as part of the space age?)

So, onto visitors accommodations...Not surprisingly Dominion accomodations are extremely generous. I was given a large apartment in the communal dwelling, close to all the other Stars so that the socializing could continue unimpeded at all hours... I tried to explain that I was used to staying in a dank hole in the ground but they would have none of it... So after lights out I brought in a bunch of dirt and dumped it in the bed so I would feel more at home and could reach my decaying hands through it when I yawned... Showers were nice but not as enjoyable as those at the super greens, and I was wary of losing any more body parts so I just rinsed the inside of my skull a bit and my eye sockets... its ayurvedic... totally blew my chakra and my panchakarma...

anywho... sadly it was time for me to go, it was high-time I returned to my beloved zombies....I liked the stars so much that I ask to stay in their chat room and Flash generously made me an honorary member! Thanks again _Flash_ and Empire for begin such lovely hosts! I definitely plan to visit again! (I kinda have to since I left one of my fingers).....


Next installment (maybe) RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES

Thanks, Brand Marrow for the lovely description of your visit! Glad you liked your stay with us!
I would also like to place on record the contributions of the council and co-leaders (who painstakingly scout war bases and formulate the war strategy), and most importantly, the awesome allies, who make the alliance what it is today and make it work!
It was a pleasure having you visit us, and we would look forward to your next visit, whenever it might happen!
Thanks to GailWho for her visit too, and we'll try and make it more enjoyable for her next time :)
It's great to have an open-minded leader and an alliance of open minded allies, who encourage and enjoy such visits to other alliances! Three cheers to Hobbit Zombies!
