Comrades, for too long we have suffered under the dominion of Hull. The accursed domain, that city of evil, that place of inequity burns tonight.
All the Hullians stand with wonder, What is this that comes to pass: Murm'ring like the distant thunder, Crying, "Oh alas, alas." Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles, Shipmates, people, rich and poor; Hull is fallen, is fallen, is fallen, Hull is fallen, to rise no more.
My fellows, the War on Hull BEGINS! Use any methods you can to overrun their dark domain; leave that foul city a smoking ruin in your wrath. We brave souls of the Velodrome shall overcome the walls of Hull, and shall purge it of its foul miasma. Any way you see fit to cut down Hull so it never rises again shall be amply rewarded.
TO ARMS! [ 13. February 2013, 01:09: Message buggered about with by: Ariston ]

You do realise that a good number of Adm1ns are former Hellh0sts, right? If you were serious about this 'war' then it would be the easiest thing in the world for me to just close your playground down completely.
I'm not talking about the "nuclear option" here, I'm talking about the "Death Star" option.
Still wanna tangle?

MtM,
I am so disappointed, he is not that difficult to handle. Threaten to cut off his greasepaint and floppy shoe allowance and he'll fall right in line. Besides, you lot created the wee beastie.

I think that's what he's counting on. He just doesn't realise that Hull h*sting results in chronic Stockholm syndrome.

Potayto, potahto. It's nobody's business what foul miasmas I find sexy-good.

. . . This is probably a sign that I should take my strategic gains and start negotiating a peace treaty, isn't it?
Allright, let's talk terms. On behalf of the Velodrome, I'm willing to personally repair all damage done to Hull—and I do mean all damage—in exchange for a lasting truce. Furthermore, if comet is willing to come down here and admit what is obviously true, that the Velodrome/Circus is far superior to Hull/Hell, then I will guide and watch over whatever thread she or one of her colleagues chooses until its natural death, no matter how soul-crushing, will-to-live sucking, or eye-bleedingly awful.
All serious counteroffers are welcome.

Yup, on behalf of the Hull Liberation Front, I inform les cyclistes that The Struggle continues*.
