Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neurotic" data-source="post: 4394966" data-attributes="member: 24380">Randal Lucius StormweaverI apologize if I sound offensive, It's not my intention, but we didn't have time to scout. Few days ago it was said that we might have to sail in three DAYS, not weeks, DAYS. So, of course we hurried. And if you think we went for personal power you are sorely mistaken.I believe any of us has enough personal wealth and is successful enough not to need this. We are successful and have been for some time. While I don't regulary deal with nobility on equal footing I do expect some respect and not to be treated as a mercenary or worse a child.We were told we're coming to negotiate, yet at the first sign of trouble we were told that there is no room for negotiation. I invested in the Company simply because it's easier that way then for each of us to organize it's own transport.I plan on opening the school, I don't need to be noble to do that.That said, I am willing to apologize to the lords for my behaviour, I really should have known better. But we were attacked and my fiancee was severely wounded so I reacted little bit more strongly then I otherwise would have. I made a mistake and am willing to make amends of whatever nature it takes. As Alton said, too long among lesser nobility of borderlands (OOC: note non-capital "b" I mean any border keeping are not Borderlands) who are more direct then cultured nobles of Brightlaw.I just want to emphasize I am really hurt by the suggestion that we plan to rebel in this early phase. If we can meet all taxes and return the interests, there is no need for violence. It MIGHT become an option in the future if we are saddled with ever increasing demands instead of leaving the colony to work it's debt off, but even then it would be carefuly weighted option.[sblock=For JA]Randal always wanted to be noble and he will do what it takes to regain the title. He really feels bad about the outburst as he always prided himself in his diplomatic skills and will apologize with sincerity. The seat in the council is of lesser importance to Randal's free spirit. He doesn't need wealth, but it helps; he wants respect and unfortunately it usually entails status.[/sblock]OOC: I don't believe we'll get council seats no matter how much we apologize, if they let us back they give us status back it's as simple as that. But we might get our titles <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" />OOC: We wait for the rest of the party? They need to scorn us thoruoghly before we make another appearance in front of the council.</blockquote>
