I'll jump on that bandwagon and give an additional reason for getting rid of this character:

Quote:

Ego Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Aurelianus Antoninus Pius et Magnificus, dux rex, tyrannus, et Basileus Mediterranearum Partium

How many productive things could his team members have accomplished in the time it takes just to say his name?! Besides, nomen est omen, it starts with "Ego".

++King Augustus Bonifacius

(minus the second o, by the way...)

Tuor of Gondolin · 04-26-2006, 05:51 AM

++ KING AUGUSTUS BONIFACIUS

It apears the revolution is on.
Could 80-year-old matriarchs be next?
(And what are the views of her son and
daughter-in-law)?

No! Is Royalty to be allowed no Dignity?

Let Cavaliers and King's Men all shout down the insidious Puritans! Down with the meddling Churchmen!

++THE PARSON

None whatsoever, thou bend-minded, malice-hearted cretin.

++ KING AUGUSTUS BONIFACIOUS

The man had no sense of responsibility, and thought dragon tail cakes were more important than a the right ordering of his kingdom. Away with him!

And thanks, Alcarillo, for being willing to deal.

Could we get rid of that extra "o" in the King's name before the deadline? The misspelling is bugging me!

Celuien · 04-26-2006, 06:23 PM

++ KING AUGUSTUS BONIFACIUS
On with the Revolution.

(And let's save Elempi.

)

Alcarillo · 04-26-2006, 07:26 PM

++King Augustus Bonifacius

*waves red banner* Long live the Revolution!

But it establishes a delicious pun! Don't you think Tolkien was quite intentional with it?

Bêthberry · 04-26-2006, 08:24 PM

Well, really I think that the Barrow Wight has hung around quite long enough and could do with a relocation exercise, but I'll save him for another day when he might be more likely to receive that dispatch.

In other words,

++ Augie Bono, Tyrannus... Rex

Assuming that spelling irregularities and alternate name forms do not mitigate against the court's pleasure.

Um, it was my spelling error.
