Crime & Punishment

Gregor MacGregor (1786–1845) was, by his own proclamation, the first Cazique of the Principality of Poyais in Central America, Inca of New Granada, and founder of the Order of the Green Cross. Claiming descent from both the ancient Kings of Scotland and indigenous South American royalty, MacGregor served with distinction in the "Die-Hards" of the British Army's 57th Foot during the Peninsular War, then rendered honourable service to New Granada, Venezuela and Florida as a general during their wars of independence from Spain. Becoming Cazique of Poyais in 1820, he returned to his native Britain to offer the country's benefits to British investors and settlers and arranged transport for about 250 emigrants, mostly his fellow Scots. He then attempted to attract French colonists, but was frustrated when the French government stopped them from leaving. MacGregor was hailed as a hero; at his funeral, the President of Venezuela marched behind his coffin. Many have tried to emulate the policies he initiated as leader of Poyais, but few have come close to matching his success.

Yes, and any bullying I do is because I was bullied.

Feels good to get that off my chest.

I, too, read Wikipedia's article of the day

Hi Salah, and many thanks for your kind comments and for the sparkling new Mining Permit you issued me on my return to EVE.

In response to your question, I've collected what I could find (there may be a truant or 2) and converted the files to Mp3 format. They now reside in a folder of my dropbox account.

I'll message you in-game.

My intention (only intention, at the moment) is to re-do at least a few of them, and to upload these higher quality versions to soundcloud.

My wife, Phyllis, would smile broadly at your assumption that I could intentionally cobble together something even vaguely as psychologically complex as click-bait.

You seem not to have read the small print; a common slip, I think.

Thank you for clicking/listening though!

Nothing better than to wake up and listen to this masterpiece!
Well done again Sasha

Yes very well done, other than the content

Haha very good ( and btw i don't mind him doing that if any isd see this and think its spam or trolling)

wrong thread miss post

Hi Vimsy,

Even as I read the script, the words 'Break-A-Wish-Foundation' leapt out at me! Yes, you were and are a force to be reckoned with.

That your own activities gave rise to rswfire's abortive initiative just adds to the debt we owe you - for he flounced off!

I always check stuff in advance of doing these; he's still around (though not in EVE, as far as I know). He has a website under his EVE name, dot com, and is president of an internet entertainment company. Well done to him for finding success outside the game.

I do wonder though whether he regards his business competitors as 'bullies'?!
