And the mock-Lord saith to the defiant one, "I am Rich, the one who rose thee out of the ether and didst bestow upon thy head the crown of coolness. As is said in that other book, 'the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,' and now I am takething away." But Eric was not satisfied with the mock-Lord's logic, and cried out, "Why hast thou forsaken us? For thy creations without humor? For those that understand not thy community? For those few you would steal my coolness?" And Rich stated simply, "Yes." Again Eric screamed, "Yay, though I have waited at Mount Yoda, and stood at the valley of the shadow of Trek, there didst thou not forsake me, and I feared no troll! Now, at the behest of the outsiders and those that cannot take a joke, thou wouldst leaveth me to fend for myself?" Rich merely commented, "But thou didst not advertise thy coolness. Why dost thou protest this action, if thou didst not care?" When Eric did not respond, Rich continued coldly, "Thou hast paid the price for thou lack of vision. Cast thy crown into the molten rock, and get thy feet from off this most holy of holies!" Eric held his crown tightly in his hands and screamed, "Nay! I will not bow to the trolls, the newbies, those without humor, and those who do not read thy most holy FAQ to understand! I will not bow to those who have not the courage to ask 'For what is thy crown for? What is an ORCP?' I defy you to show me your power and recind thy order!" The mock-Lord raised his powerful arm and outstretched hand. "I grow tired of asking thee, so this shall by thine last warning. Giveth thy crown to me!" "Nay!" And the mock-Lord tore the crown from the defiant one's hands, and cast the crown into the lava below. And a great plume of smoke arose from the volcano, and the ashes formed a pattern on the surface of the pool of molton rock. And Eric cried out again, "Why?" And Rich flew into a mighty rage and smote the defiant one with a great lightning bolt and cast the corpse into the crater as well. And the mock-Lord turned to the rest of the group waiting for their turn at the sacrifice, and simply said, "Next." Eric Bycer Didn't want your stupid title anyway... 616 'til 1,000!
