Talk:Royal Expedition

The Mountaineers

As fellow explorers with a hatred for those bloody savages scattered about the island like so many animals, we of the Mountaineers (and, by that, I mean "I," since, at present, I'm the one Mountaineer) greet you all and offer partnership. While I know your focus is on the islands, I'm sure that many of you are also curious about the mountain. Perhaps some of your number would be interested in preserving the mountain and protecting her from the foul savages. Any such individuals would be welcome in the Mountaineers (and, as is said on the page, they need not leave the RE). They won't find me there now, though, if they go looking; I'm making a supply run.--Wifey 20:28, 15 May 2006 (BST)

draft of an NPOV entry for the islet/island

I have attempted to draft what I hope is a relatively neutral-point-of-view entry for the wiki that links to both the Shark Island and La Islet Bonobo pages. I have tried to keep it relatively sparse and to link to the more detailled pages, rather than trying to encompass everything on one page (and inevitably leading to both groups feeling disatisfied that their position has been unfairly represented). I would appreciate your criticism and/or editiorial modifications.Anothertwilight 02:42, 5 May 2006 (BST)

War Board

Our troops are in need to health and reinforcements to secure Shark Island. Any RE members or allies with First Aid and/or FAQs to spare, please head to Shark Island Immediately!
Need supplies? Head to either the Shipwreck or York to stock up.
Not an RE member but want to join the fight against all evil doers across Shartak? Head to Shark Island and meet with an RE representative and join the fight for justice!

Notice

Evidence of DCC member killing "peaceful" RE member Morgan Freelance! The DCC must be stopped!:Evidence

The despicable (although peculiarly honourable) members of the DCC have offered 'Terms of Engagement';
That given that the conflict revolves around ownership of Shark Island (called by some La Islet Bonobo) that any violence remain restricted only to said island.
The Royal Expedition recognises the wisdom of not embroiling the innocent in war and so affirm the Terms and agree to be bound by them.

Denial of Eminem's application to join the RE

While I'm not an RE member, I'm somewhat disappointed to see that the request of Eminem (AKA Riddick) to join the expedition has been denied (see [1]) due to "zerging, forum trolling, and wiki abuse" (the latter being epitomized by this edit). While I am certainly not excusing his offenses, I think he's learned from his mistakes, and I recommend that he be readopted into the RE as a probationary member so that he will have a chance to redeem himself with good behavior. That's exactly the course I would take if I had a clan, and I think it would speak highly of the RE if they showed themselves willing to forgive him in the name of the Queen while still watching him closely for a while.

Whether or not this request is granted, I'm sure we could do a better job here on the wiki of writing down unwritten rules so that other newbies don't make the same (or other) irritating mistakes. — Elembis (talk) 04:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

We were also worried by his declaration, on the CP forums, that he was going to takeover Shark Island via a 'military style plan', and rename it 'Killer Island', and kill everyone who ventured there. This was immediately followed by his application to join the clan, with the slightly bizarre declaration that he "love[s] SHARK ISLAND!". As Minister of Military Affairs, I felt concerned by this development, and it was one of the main reasons I sugested refusing him entry to the clan. -- Less Than Lethal 17:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
