The Ireem Chronicles

PLEASE NOTE: Candidate Chatomen Carlberg has dropped out of the race, and as such has no responses here. However, in exchange, we've added responces from faux Knight Candidate Stinky McWinkleShorts for your reading pleasure.

1. First and Foremost, please describe the Knight's code of honor, in your own words. Why is this code important?

DANO WYLIE: The knights code, the very base of what i Knight is. It is this code that sets who he or she is, the standard by witch they can judge them selves.

SERAF CLIP: The Knights code is a way of life for the Knights. Thats what we must follow and honor.. and act as the code says. It is what makes them an honorable knight.

PRIMO BABII: A knight honor its his all exsistences hes life depend on it a knight should always respect who respect them and should help the needy and be curtious to all and make sure he s respected and not to be weak in face of danger

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: The Knights code is important because it defines who we are as a group. It outlines the ideals that we should strive for in our day to day dealings with all of Ireem. The code is very simple and can apply to all situations.
~~~~~ With every action a Knight performs and every word that they speak, a Knight should have these qualities first and foremost in their mind:

Honor
Integrity
Courage
Forgiveness
Loyalty
Compassion
Honesty
Respect

It is who we are. All of us are human and we are fallible.
We may not always do the right thing, but the code is a mirror against which we can examine our behavior and thereby improve ourselves. And since we are all unique individuals, we may have different interpretations of the definitions of these words. This is what gives Ireem its color and spice in an otherwise very, drab, brown land and should always be listened to carefully with no prejudgement.

STINKY: Well... I think knights should rule the Night... it sounds the same, so it should be the same. When it's night, everyone should obey the knights, and that's the law. And the Law is Good, because it's enforced by The Knights At Night.

2. Describe the difference between a Knight and a Predator.

DANO WYLIE: That is simple a Knight is one who has come to Ireem with only one goal, to protect those who could not portect them selves. A Predator is just that one who takes what they want wihout regard.

SERAF CLIP: Knights are here to protect the innocent and those that need help and we fight against slavery and uphold the law.. as for the Predators, they try to enslave anyone they gaze upon and want and are against the law

PRIMO BABII: [Primo did not answer this question]

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: Is this a serious question? So many ways to answer this!
I'll bet Sage wrote this question.......

STINKY: Well... if you had to ask me, the knight bathe more often, and we have better campfire songs. The slavers? Huh... all they do is sit around baking brownies. And don't even get me started on the Undead. Why, I even think the Bedouins are all passed out before they start singing the Campfire Songs.

3. As Knight Lead, would you feel that it's desirable to bring the knights into a tighter-knit group? Why or why not? How would you go about archieving your vision?

DANO WYLIE: Yes it is most inportant that the knights work as one. To have the same goals and interest. To this end I would first establish a Councel of Elders. They will wright a Code of Conduct that all knights will be asked to fallow, a code that all knights can live with. These Elders will be there for the Knights in times of need to help with questions of how to porcced when they have questions.

SERAF CLIP: Yes bringing the knights into a tighter-knit would be the best thing to do becouse we need the group work as a team and not indivudualy.. trying to be heros or something.. We are a big family.. and we should be acting like one, helping each other.

PRIMO BABII: yes i will make the round table rules the leader is a stong by the support of his knights i wil rule with a democratic vote on every issue we face and i wil make sure we arent weak and we are all act as one its very important to be a tight nit

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: There is a rumor that the Knights group will soon be divided into different factions. It will be imperative to strive to keep the Knights together as a family. I intend to do this by initiating a structured training program for all new Knights. Our new Knights are hungry for knowledge and friendship and a sense of belonging. I will create a role of "Knights Trainer" for any Knights who may be interested in mentoring a new recruit. This important position will be a proper jumping off point for them to learn the ways of the Knights without having to guess. I have already gathered the necessary scrolls of information that these "Knights Trainer" will need to supply to the new recruits. I hope they will add their own experiences as well. All who enter our ranks will feel the kinship immediately, thus strengthening our bond of family.

STINKY: Weellll....... I believe that we should be our own people, and that my person is King. King of the Knights. At Night. And as King, I'd have them all Bow To My Supreme Power. At Night. During the Day too, actually. It's just the way of things, and how I like it.

4. There is a rule that Knights should only help prey when asked, though I am sure some prey are shy about asking for help. How would you ensure they understand how to request help from the Knights?

DANO WYLIE: The knights need to make them selves better known to the prey. Meet them talk with them show them they are there to help not only when being chased, but after if they have a crule master that would abbuse them they the Knights will step in.

SERAF CLIP: Well maybe handing out notecards to them about what to do if in need of a knights help and than prooving ourselves when they really need help that we do go to their aid

PRIMO BABII: this issue is very hard to deal with dam if you help and dam if you don't i normaly ask and see the reaction of the prey

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: For months, I have kept a special set of scrolls specifically designed for new prey, explaining the finer details of the Knights' role in their lives. As I patrol my rounds, I am diligent in introducing myself to all new prey I see and bestowing these scrolls on them. As a Leader, I will ensure that all Knights will have the same scrolls to be able to introduce themselves to our Flowers of the Sand.

STINKY: Weeeellll... I would cap the prey myself and torture them until they ask for help, then kill everyone I see nearby. Nice and clean and no witnesses. Right, and then I'd sing a campfire song 'cause those make me feel good after trying to keep the peace.

5. Do you believe there's any truth to the rumor that knights are defecting to other camps due to weak leadership and practices?
How can that be changed?

DANO WYLIE: No i do not for a Knight who is truly a Knight in there heart can be nothhing else.

SERAF CLIP: Well that might be true but also we knights have to put up with alot from others outside the knighthood.. constantly giving us a hard time and we have to stay calm and be nice to everyone.. even if they say nasty things at us which is difficult sometimes to hold our temper. Takes alot of selfdicipline to be and stay a knight.

PRIMO BABII: yes defently. we need a strong leader to unite us and mak e us strong and not a prey as we are now not respected in ireem if we support each others as knight instead of standing by our desire for sex and to please a certain women we might be straong and united

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: A Knight may leave their camp for many reasons. Some of which we may never know. If their reason is because of weak leadership and practices, I can foresee these things changing by having this election. The brave Knights of Ireem will now have a direction and focus by having a leader to follow. If I am that leader you can be assured that I will always listen to both sides of a grievance before giving advice. I will always weigh all options before suggesting a road to take. My rules will be strong advice only, for I know that it will always be up to the individual to follow their heart on what they believe is right.

STINKY: Wellll.....There's nothing a few good campire songs won't help. We'll have everyone joining us to become a Knight. And I'll be king, and enforce mandatory campfire songs. Yessir.

6. There have been reports of Knights in the auction area teasing slaves/captured predators that are being sold instead of trying to assist or help them. Is this ever justified, in your opinion?

DANO WYLIE: This is not acceptable in any way as knights must hold them selves to a higher standerd than others. To show disrespect to any is not the way of a knight. Does it happen yes we are all human and some times we do fail our selves.

SERAF CLIP: I've heard about that before but it happens sometimes of which i am not proud of but i sopose they have a personal reason at times.. and teasing like such should be avoidable as much as possible.

PRIMO BABII: i have never heard of it and if that happen i don't agree with it

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: Oh Nelly, no.

STINKY: Weell.. I think it builds character and teaches a good lesson. By teasing the poor person on auction, they learn not to piss so many people off. You can avoid doing that by joining the Knights and singing Campfire Songs.

7. How do you feel about knights selling slaves/captured predators on the auction block? Is this fine, or should it be discouraged?

DANO WYLIE: What a knight does whith his or her captives is of thers concern. If they choose to sell them then so be it. So long as the captive is no abused.

SERAF CLIP: It should be discouraged becouse if we would do so we would not be any different from the predators and would be called ones.. and if they have nothing to do with the predators just let them go to show them your honor.

PRIMO BABII: it should be discouraged

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: No one can predict every situation that may arise. But as a general rule, it is a Knights obligation to protect and free (if so desired by the captured) the fair Prey of Ireem. We are outside of the loop of capturing and selling.

STINKY: Weeell.. We need to get money to feed Camell's drinking problem somehow. It's either that or selling naked drawings of Jordina.

8. Any final words for Ireem?

DANO WYLIE: The Knights have always been here in service to the pepole of Ireem and will continue to do so.

SERAF CLIP: Call us if you need help or protection and know were always there for you all.

PRIMO BABII: My final word
I love K O S if it wasn't for K O S
i would ve left sl all together
we need to change few things like the knigh code add few more rules to it

BIKKUIGAIJIN KITAJ: Ireem is a city in constant agression at the moment. I believe that fighting is not the answer to all conflict. There are times when a battle is inevitable, but there are just as many times that we can use a greater resource at hand:
Our carefully chosen and crafted words.
Speak to each other, understand one another's point of view so that we may come to live in harmony.

During my brief internment at the Slavers camp, I learned a great deal about how others see the Knights. It is unacceptable to me that we have been so misunderstood. I propose much more communication between camps. As Leader, I would have meetings between all group Leaders to discuss these misunderstandings. All of Ireem would be allowed to attend these meetings.

But, my friends, this agression does need an ACCEPTABLE outlet. As Leader, I would hope to re-introduce the Gladiator Tournaments at Ireem. Controlled contests whereby we may vent our steam in structured battle and test our fighting skills without the anger driving it.

STINKY: Weelll... Ireem should all get together around one big campfire and sing a song. A campfire song. At night. And we can burn our captives on the campfire. It'll smell bad, but at least it'll be fun.

Happy Voting everyone!
