I am the long lost son of Mur.... I claim MD as my own! LOL Just joking!
Anyways, like Pamps say, Rask has stated his intentions, he has seen the reactions, the ball is in his court.
He would need to prove himself in the realm.
Start gathering his power base and maybe start a snowball effect.
Whether he will be successful or not will be decided in the realm, not here in the forums.
Rask has started an interesting RP event, lets see how well he can follow up.
Jester will be Jester, he has his own power base and his own style. Only those that truly knows him will understand him.
Let the politicking begin and may the best man wins!
