An Interview With Honey (Spider Jerusalem - Tribune Senior Correspondent)
This week’s interview begins with yours truly lazily zapping through the channels in the cockpit of his ship in a random location–random in this case being meant literally, but I’m getting ahead of myself…
A few days ago, my editor Eldritch requested I do an interview with the elusive Honey, long time hacker of some renown and former leader of the Grand Unifying Alliance. He warned it may be difficult to get a hold of her, and was half correct. While my attempts at contacting her by frequenting the terminals littered throughout the Black Markets of the universe proved futile thanks to the discreteness of the professional information community, a simple request on the “General Channel” of the galactic communication networks brought an immediate reaction. Upon my request, she cheerfully agreed to a meeting, but as to time and location, she simply giggled and asked me to go about my business as usual… I need only tune in to GNN regularly. While slightly puzzled, I agreed, and fighting off accusations of slacking off from Eldritch, went about my pilot duties, looking every so often into the news.
After several days, I had nearly forgotten why I bothered glancing at my console so frequently, when all of a sudden, all hell broke loose: an Admiral had been killed by a Space Worm Albino, the Imperial Guard had declared private conflict with the Paladins, and a certain union Alliance had taken to voluntarily disbanding their entire drug production. I was in the process of furiously writing about a dozen messages at once when all of a sudden, my screen went blank. A second later, it came back online, only this time, instead of a long list of increasingly ludicrous scoops, a disembodied but very shapely pair of legs came into view. I was still in the middle of hitting the side of my screen when a voice piped up: “Hi! Ready for the interview?”
I was speechless for a second. “Honey? How did you… that’s not possible…” She giggled again. “But it is, isn’t it? Besides, neither one of us has to break their daily routine this way.” I had to admit, this was convenient, but that wasn’t on the forefront of my mind at the moment. “Is this why you wanted me to read GNN?” “Oh no” she laughed; “that wasn’t necessary, I just wanted to see your face when that happened. Classic!” I was getting more and more agitated. “Those weren’t real??” Wait a minute. “You can see my face?? I don’t have any cameras in my cockpit, all my correspondence is voice/text only!!”
“But you do,” she cooed…”escape pod life support monitors movement visually, didn’t you know that? …Mr. Jerusalem? Are you alright?” Apparently I had drifted off for a second, paralyzed by the shock to my privacy. This is exactly why hackers give me the screaming mimis; the only thing more terrifying than their capabilities is their cheerful enthusiasm to inform you of them.
“Erm yes…” I rallied: “Just a severe bout of paranoia, that’s all.” The legs shuffled uncomfortably. “Yeah, that happens a lot… well, no harm done; want to ask me a question?” Honey piped up. At that moment I was reminded of the need for professionalism in all things, so I stopped trying to secretly reprogram my escape pod to manual release, took a deep breath, and commenced with business:
TT: Greetings, Honey, I trust you’re at the top of your profession?
Honey: Fairly good… sorry if I seem a bit distracted, I am playing around… you do have good countermeasures, you know… (toes wiggle) How are you?
TT: I try… feeling a bit shaken, but improving now you asked.
You’re the star of the show tonight however, so back to you: And the hacking business? It’s notoriously tough, is Silent Shriek prevailing?
Honey: Well it is only courteous to respond in kind. The hacking business is enjoyable to be sure. Although it doesn’t make a whole lot of money, it has its perks though. Silent Shriek seems to be more of a family than anything else, in fact it seems we are becoming more diverse lately in the skill-sets we are bringing into the alliance.
TT: That must be nice; best of luck with that; this isn’t the first time you’re in the business though, no? I recall you originally got your start in the Gurus, a now near mythical alliance from the past… mind telling some of our younger readers who weren’t around then how it really was in there? And also, how this new attempt at a specialty alliance differs from it’s forerunner?
Honey: Actually it is, when I joined my first ever alliance, it was indeed The Gurus, lead by the infamous Launch. Although back then I was only in a rusty fresh out of school, so I basically just went on my way killing space maggots and learning about the world I found myself in then, way back before the Union existed. Funnily enough the leader of Silent Shriek was the leader of The Gurus as well, she started that alliance, so in essence The Gurus is the spiritual predecessor of Silent Shriek. I cant help but find it interesting how I returned to my roots like this. Sadly, however, the Gurus disbanded and I went off on my own, eventually to join the Grand Unifying Alliance. Until then though, I had some fun adventures with the Mooninites, back when everyone was scared of them. Those were the good days…
TT: Care to elaborate on your time spent with the moonies?
Honey: Oh, it wasn’t so much spending time with them as it was getting killed by them. I was unlucky enough to try to build a nebula plant directly outside of their old base, Edbeeth. (legs tap) Kinda funny how things turned out with the Grand Unifying Alliance in that regard too…
TT: How so? Do you think it’s funny that eventually, GUA populated Edbeeth?
Honey: Well, it was more that I keep on returning to my roots like that. I had become leader of GUA, and then all of a sudden our nook that we had only recently come into ownership of, and were just starting to use, came under attack. During this horrible fiasco I came under the realization that this was all where all that crap had gone down back when I was still just a newbie. Then I went and joined Silent Shriek after I finally broke down from all the stress in the Grand Unifying Alliance…
TT: Like a karmic circle, huh? Tell us more about your career in GUA; I must admit it’s quite impressive how far you got… not many latecomers or outsiders get to be leaders of major alliances. How fast did you rise up the ranks?
Honey: Hehe, yes that is a fairly good way to put it. (crosses legs) I made my way up the ranks in GUA thanks to my organizational skills. I found myself trying to sort out the horrible mess that GUA was in, and started creating a lot of spreadsheets… I went through a lot of different ideas trying to figure out how things could best be run. Basically I spent most of my time in Pardus in the public communication channels, with Ichjibijiba (editor’s note: a minor celebrity inty pilot of yore); many people remember me back then for being a very open lesbian, and flirting outrageously with Ichjibijiba and others. Then Ichjibijiba got her pilot’s license revoked. and I lost a lot of my interest in space flight. At that point I spent a most of my time on the ground; for just about 2 months and about 25 days or so, I came VERY very close to retiring myself. The call of the stars was stronger though, and I eventually found my way into the cockpit once again! That was when I got out of my inty and into my SSC, and that was when I started doing my organization thing in GUA. It only took me a month to become one of the “Elders” of the alliance.
A few months later the war happened in NPR with GUA and SR and a whole ton of other alliances. I ended up hiding in a nook through most of that, and actually remained grounded again for a while throughout the end. But I came back, yet again, after about a month. It was only another month later when the then leader of GUA, Goodwill, approached me and said “I cant do this any more, can you become leader for a while? Only two weeks!” I didn’t want to, tried to figure out who else could, but I was the only one.. so I did… However it lasted a bit longer than two weeks.
TT: That really IS a stellar career… I mean, I always had the impression that GUA was rather secretive and a bit of an “old boy” network… to be honest, I was already surprised when Aiden Winree resigned as Boss. As a former Elder, how would you say is the alliance culture in GUA?
Honey: I was a special case, GUA needed me, I can honestly say that if it was not for my efforts GUA would have lost many very important pilots, for reasons along the same lines as why I left. GUA is very much one of the “old boy” networks as you put it. There are multiple very old pilots in GUA. More often then not they don’t talk much at all. They don’t care when GUA loses a war and they don’t even KNOW about it because the leaders keep it secret (that would be the GUA/SR war). They do care when some new person comes along, gets given leadership, and tries to save the alliance; tries to pull the alliance out of the horrible rut that it was in before. There were three types of people in GUA. There are the new people, eager to make a difference in the universe. There are the old pilots, the ones who don’t care about anything any more except that they get what they want and things don’t change. Then there is everyone else, trying to make a difference in GUA, in the universe, and being forced to bend to the will of the conservative dicks who don’t even do anything any more. (toes clench) THEY are the reason I am no longer in GUA any more, not the stuff that happened during all that, but those pilots! They drove me out of my bloody skull! And it is because of those pilots that I will never join GUA again, or advise anyone else to join GUA.
TT: That’s a strong critique… so I take it your tenure as leader didn’t go well?
Honey: I was leader for just over one month. I made great huge claims of change and becoming better, and started working along those goals, I achieved great things while leader, got a lot of things moving the way they needed to be moving to keep GUA strong. The entire time verbally battling the conservatives in the alliance. I recall at least one time in the middle of that in which I lost it and literally gave leadership back to Goodwill, but it ended up back in my hands again after everyone calmed me down. Then later the fateful weekend happened. Things were going very well, the way I wanted them to go, had discovered yet another secret Goodwill had been keeping from GUA as a whole, the ownership of Edbeeth. I immediately started having it checked out and sent two pilots down there to get things started. Two days later, Saturday morning I think, I had just woken up after a good night of sleep, looked in the alliance channel, said hello, and not even a minute or two after did the first ACS entries start appearing, saying a MO we own there was getting attacked by one or two pilots… then 5 pilots… then uncountable numbers! I franticly got together what forces were available at that time and sent everyone down to the scene, keeping back a few in case there was going to be another attack in the NPR against us. I was no military leader, I relied on other trusted pilots to run that part, although it was mostly just a mess of people heading down there and killing or getting killed randomly. That marked the beginning of the longest weekend of my entire career as a pilot. I spent the whole thing, waking to sleeping, in deep discussions with god knows how many people from the attacking alliances, discussing the future of the nook Edbeeth. (legs shake visibly) I prevented an attack on GUA from the forces gathered in Edbeeth that had nothing left to do now that the attack was finished. Things started going very well, much better than anticipated at first. But then I finally lost it, and did what I had been threatening I would do to Goodwill the entire time. I gave leadership back to him, and left GUA. I spent the next several hours crying.
TT: I’m sorry about that… we’ll get to the highly interesting issue of Edbeeth in a minute, but I need to ask: How is it possible to hide the existence of that many assets, including MOs and a separate ACS for the WPR, from an alliance of that size?
Honey: No one was told, I literally became leader and later had to ASK why the heck we had MOs and an ACS outside of the NPR. I was baffled about it. It turns out that near the end of the GUA/SR war Goodwill made some sort of deal with MERC about it. Apparently GUA spent somewhere around a hundred million credits on that nook, only to have it taken away during the Edbeeth incident. Along the same lines, the outcome of the war… I have no idea how that was kept secret, but no one in GUA except for a select few knew that GUA had lost, GUA apparently paid the alliances we had been fighting something along the lines of 50 million credits each as compensation, and NOBODY knew.
TT: That’s big money… how could no one find out? There are AF logs, and senior members see all buildings… also, weren’t you treasurer? I’m sorry for dwelling on this, but I find it astounding that things like that can be kept under wraps in such a big alliance…
Honey: I was application manager, I found about the losing of the war from the treasurer when I was asking for a report on GUA’s assets. I never actually got that report, all I really knew was that GUA was in debt, big time.
TT: Right, so you were, my mistake…So just to sum it up: GUA lost the SR war and never told anybody about it, instead paying secret compensation to their enemies… then cuts a deal with MERC to develop Edbeeth with them, STILL without informing their members or anyone else, and a few days before the attack you as leader finally discovered the truth…Then, before you could dig deeper, the anti-MERC coalition responded to MERC’s consistent ambush retreat into the nook you had just discovered the existence of, and you scrambled fighters to protect GUA’s investment, despite only recently have learned of it’s existence?
Honey: Basically. I knew there was something over there a while before, because of the MOs, but only really found out that it was our nook until about a week and a half-ish before the attack, and only was able to start checking it out two or three days before the attack.
TT: This seems to all go back to that fateful GUA/SR war… I know you already said you spent the duration of it in a nook on leave, but can you tell us anything about the buildup to the war? Do you think GUA was right in starting it? Also, what can you tell us about the GUA/MERC connection… I find it quite telling that GUA started coinhabiting a MERC/TAP nook after the war they were allegedly hired to fight, and the GUA inner circle didn’t see fit to tell the alliance, or their leader…
Honey: To be honest, I really don’t know what started the war, I never really got interested in the whole political aspect of things until I became leader. The relationship GUA apparently had with MERC is a deep one, which scared the heck out of me when I was leader because of how despised MERC is these days. I actually started working to separate GUA from MERC, which honestly, the attack on Edbeeth helped me speed up a great deal. GUA had a sort of exchange program going on with MERC, there was at least one pilot from MERC inside GUA temporarily, built buildings in our nooks, and did a great deal of trading, with intentions of eventually going back to MERC. That isn’t all, as it is known, in the Edbeeth nook, it appeared to be MERC buildings mixed with old Moonie buildings, well this supports that as well. GUA didn’t just work with MERC, but with pirates, famous pirates. GUA never ever had any real problems with pirates, in fact, GUA even housed a former pirate. Goodwill believed that he was going to make money then leave GUA, but I found out that he really was trying to go straight and wanted to stay. That in itself is good, sure. But Goodwill let him in without really discussing it with anyone else, and found out about him wanting to join from another famous pirate, I cant remember who though. (editor’s note: The mentioned Pirate, Biks, has since returned to his life of crime)
TT: Do you feel you ever had any real control over GUA at all, considering how many secrets the upper echelon had, or do you believe you were mostly a figurehead/economic clerk? Do you feel betrayed by GUA?
Honey: I was intended to be simply a figurehead from the beginning. I didn’t really do much on the economic side, I had other people do that, it is simply too much work to do that as well as leading the alliance. I didn’t let it sit at just figurehead though. I saw the alliance was a mess, and I did my damnedest to fix it. The worst part of it is there were a lot of people who were grateful to me and were encouraging me, despite the conservative pilots at the top.
Yes. I do feel betrayed to a point. Mostly because as it stands right now, my one decent source of income, a high level building inside one of GUA’s nooks, got shut down then removed against my will. I admit, at first I wanted to remove it myself, but Goodwill insisted I didn’t, in case I decided to come back. Fat chance now. Anyway, as of right now I am still serving GUA a bit, I still have a Nebula Plant in one of GUA’s sectors; it makes me just about no money at all, but helps GUA a lot by keeping a very important planet at a high population, along with several other Nebula Plants. Shows how much GUA values me I guess.
TT: Indeed. What is your view now that long time leader Aiden Winree is back in the saddle? Do you believe GUA has managed to distance itself from MERC?
Honey: I am glad Aiden Winree is back, things started going downhill apparently when Goodwill became leader. I have no idea how GUA is doing distancing itself from MERC, that is no longer my business, and seeing as how the last time I checked, my access to the GUA forums had been completely cut off, I have no way to find out now.
TT: Do you have anything to say to your former alliance?
Honey: I miss them, I miss being in GUA, I loved the time I spent with them, I grew up in GUA and spent most of my career with them. I left many very good friends back there when I left. I miss them all.
TT: What are your plans for the future?
Honey: When I left GUA I came to Echo, who has been a good friend for me for a long time, and she let me into her alliance. At that point I did not know what I was going to do, and was considering going to another alliance for a long time. But I think I will be sticking with Silent Shriek for the long haul, I have grown to love the pilots I work with here.
TT: That’s heartwarming to hear you’ve found a good home with people who appreciate you; to close on a lighter note, can you tell us something about the recent hacker war between SS and TLOH?
Honey: (legs cross again, left foot starts playing absently) That has apparently been going on for a long time between Silent Shriek and Andover. I’m not sure on all the details, but it sure was fun helping out my alliance in helping other people kill him. I didn’t really care one way or another, it sure was entertaining though. It was more of a “lol i bountied you” hissy fight than anything else. Andover thought he was being all big and bad by putting large bounties on Silent Shriek members, while we didn’t die, and we made sure there was always a small bounty on Andover’s head, and we laughed as he died, and died, and died, and died some more.
TT: Well, one thing I have noticed: excitement tends to follow you around…
In closing one final question: I’ve always wondered, why the handle “Honey?”
Honey: no matter how much I try to avoid it, oh well! (legs uncross) The handle Honey originates from when I was only a child. The Ska’ari assigned to watching me would call me Honey whenever I was being good, but would call me Jessica, my actual name, whenever I was being bad. So, considering that I was only two seasons old at the time, I decided that my name was Honey, not Jessica, because I didn’t like being yelled at! hehehe.
TT: Well, that certainly clears up a lot of rumors; I thank you for this interview.
Honey: The pleasure of mine, and while I’m curious exactly what rumors I cleared up, I can ask later.
Warship Down!
Regular readers will recall that the Tribune had planned a firsthand account of the stellar defeat of the Lucidi Warship last month, but that arthurv was…indisposed…at the time of our meeting. We caught up to him later, and while still groggy as the effects of the drug used on him wore off, he was able to fill us in on some details.
“I was spending a relaxing afternoon in the company of my good ol’ friend Assassin, after being exhausted from a dreadful fight with an odd looking Medusa I found in some viral clouds. I even found some strange crystals in the remains. I collected them, thinking they might have some value on the black markets of the far distant Rims. Now while we were talking about the latest gossips, Assassin told me that Prince Kevorkian got offered a job from lady to take care of a Lucidi commander that treated her disrespectfully at a recent meeting she attended in a Lucidi rest station. He happened to be a very high ranked lucidi officer, proud commander of a Warship.
Now, I also knew Kevorkian from quite a long time ago, when I was trying to reveal the laws that rule this universe, so thought I could lend him a hand. After all it seemed very dangerous thing to do alone, so I used the subspace communication system and asked him for a meeting.
A few hours later, we were standing in the local club in Rigel, talking about how this matter should be attended to. After all, no other non-transdimensional who dared to face the lucidi warships before left the battle in his ship. We planned to gather some intel about their tactics and weapons systems, to be on the safe side. We also agreed that victory was dependent on speed, and that meant Imperial Elite MK2 missiles, pride of the Imperial weapons designers.
The next day, we met and analyzed the data we got on the Warships. The ship was automatically maneuvered by a very powerful computer, thus having abilities much beyond that of a non-transdimensional being, even more than a Rashkiri. This meant the Warship had extreme ability to evade beam attacks. They also used a transdimensional warhead for their missile, requiring a lot of time to aim, but having devastating power. It is said these kind of missiles were used to destroy the planets who’s remains are still floating in some areas of the Core. Their guns were also very powerful and had some very exotic focusing lenses judging from the color of the beam. But of those we had no fear, as the long years under the service of the Emperor taught us many dodging maneuvers.
With this knowledge, we decided we should loose our guns and get more repair units for combat emergencies. After getting half of the payment from Leila, the beautiful lady who was insulted by the Lucidi commander, we both got a full load of imperial MK2 missiles, and a lot of robots, and we went to Morannon, the closest Starbase to the Core.
As we were afraid something might go wrong, we also asked Assassin to save his energy and be prepared in case we needed his help. He was very enthusiastic about what we were about to do. Soon after this, we entered the Core, all three of us and flew in the energy clouds near one warship. We knew the exact moment the staff checked the Shields status, and right after one of these moments, we started the attack, looking for a blitzkrieg as we feared the retaliation might send us home in pod ride.
As missiles began firing from our launch bays, the Warships automatic defenses activated, causing a near constant retaliation of beam attacks. However, we were very careful, and used the hit and run guerrilla tactic, looking to wear it down while keeping our ships intact. I relied on my usual lightning attack maneuver, that I was using from the start of the battle (from a safe distance, out of the Warship guns range I was going to warp for a blink of a second, up to near the enemy ship, try to aim a missile at it, than warp out of the Warship’s range, before it even had time to heat up the guns even – the Picard maneauver ;)), when I got careless. The Commander of the Warship managed to anticipate my next attack and launched an incredibly powerful missile at my ship, devastating the entire defense system and breaking the hull. I barely managed to get it out of the battle field, and took some time to get it up in good shape for battle again. I lost some of my crew in that explosion… Battle continued, and while also Kevorkian had similar problems twice, and I got a second shake from the the mighty Redeemer, we managed to utterly destroy the warships defensive systems. The accuracy of our missiles was quite impressive…
In one of my last assaults, the Commander thought he might take me down along with him, and launched his last Redeemer missile, looking explicitly to hit me, as my ship had a worse hull condition than Kevorkian’s. It was my turn to anticipate, and I used a very subtle phasing maneuver (it is difficult to make it in a mooncrusher, but hey, you don’t get to fly it if you are not up to it) to appear in the flank of the Warship and sling a MK2 at it while the Redeemer vanished into the void…
Battle was almost over, and I managed to destroy the remains of the Warship with my very last missile. A pod quickly emerged from the wreck trying to go to warp, but Assassin was there, on the guard and managed to tractor it aboard his ship. We than took the battered Commander in front of lady Leila and collected the rest of our money. I don’t want to even think what Leila did to the bastard… might have taken his ass through some medieval stuff!
The battle was brief, so we had little time to develop our combat abilities, however it was challenging, and were it prolonged, it might have taught us a few extra tricks.
At the end of this operation, seeing how well I get along with Kevo and Assassin in battle, I decided to join their organization and work for the satisfaction of many more customers, especially if they are pretty ladies like Leila!”
The Tribune would like to thank arthurv for his time and congratulate all of the operatives on this astonishing success against the lucidi.
Letters from Tahssa - Part 2
In response to our supplications, our most beloved newbie pilot, Tahssa, has graciously submitted another letter to us; We at the Tribune thank him for this material, which will surely contribute to our retirement fund… er, I mean, to the Tau Ceti Mental Hospital’s research project*. Here it is:
“Hoy Eldmeister,
F*** these peazmeikers, I wants WAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!! :yarr: Soz me can shootz0rz that Shwabrer n00b in the a** and ambush in those balck tiles!!! i’ll get lots lots of medals!!!!!

PWN them! Then get all them hundres of druggies in my ship. slipzors out and take them’ out at once!!! Then I can buy meself a H4rrier, coz I’ll be abel 2 k1ll criters for a week w/o stopin’. Then I can gets lots, lots , liots of cash and be richer than that Keekoo git in a week!!! MUAHAHA!
And I :wub: the Union!!!!!!! I’l join’em soz I can be a Pie-rate**** and no onez can catch me!!! “Coz that Alpha SPeer guys sayzors no one can hunt an Uion guy in Union spase, coz we’re all family. That bit I don’t get, though, I never foun him in mah family bush… Od, ya?
See yer round!
Tahssa”
*And yes, we had to work in concert to translate this letter to a modicum of readability. Do you guys have ANY idea what is it like to translate his manuscripts?! Again, I should add. I didn’t even try to bring it close to our computer systems this time, for they were looking at us in a funny way (i.e. the lights in the building began to blink in ominous patterns). Anyway, one more step to the Bayer-Szell Prize, and that’s what matters in the end.
**The Tau Ceti staff said on this sentence: “Aha. An inty pilot. Which plans to change to a Harrier. Or possibly the other way around, whatever… this will certainly prove useful in diagnosing him. Eld, please keep CASH off him, we need him as a research subject.”
***I truly couldn’t translate this part right, sorry.
**** As far as I can tell, its got something to do with pies… I certainly hope so.
CAT Speaks… (Or tries to)
Hello organic beings. It’s the Pardusian CAT speaking once more. For those of you who neglected to read the last edition of this newspaper, I’m the Computerized editing assistant which allows Eldritch and his jolly gang to go about joyriding and getting what they term as “hot chicks” instead of sitting their bums at this here building and getting to work.*
One thing worth mentioning is that these “hot chicks” must be really hot, because it’s VERY hot in the galactic networks, what with this avalanche of flames. It’s funny how volatile you organics are (yes, even you Ska’ari): one day you’re hugging and shaking hands; the next, you’re raiding each other’s homes and cursing at each other. I believe it has to do with that unique concept you guys have in your (clearly addled) organic processing units: the concept of boredom. You can’t simply accept a beautiful day happening over and over again. You must always wonder what will happen if you push that red button while your ship’s pointed at that Doomstar over there.
As regards the shooting matter, I believe that, while some of you took heed of my advice last edition (congratulations!), it is still not enough. I’ll tell you once again, the temperature levels on the comm channels has always been dangerously hot, but with the coming of this new tripartite war it may actually melt down the circuitry here. I took the liberty of telling all your ships to wire their comm circuits alongside their life support ones so that you’ll know when such an event happens. Total system malfunction is not pleasant to see, something many late Rustclaw pilots could tell you.
Speaking of melting, Eldritch has made some progress in tending me and my brethren here. By which I mean he didn’t even try to place that pilot’s letter into my systems anymore. All it took was bringing the lights down 50%, along with heating. I think he might have gotten frostbite. And he might not tell you, but he certainly seemed afraid of the dark**. Beats me why.
Fly safe and speak wisdom,
The Pardusian CAT
*And here I thought EVERYTHING tasted like chicken. My food synthesizers are quite capable of producing decent chicken meals. Why don’t they stay here?
**Well, at least my reference circuits tell me that a sudden increase of ammoniac gas in the atmosphere is a sign of fear in humans.
Top 100?
Yeah yeah yeah…coming soon…again. Want me to end all of this suspense and just post the list…I’d like to but very recent events have led to a change in the list that nobody could have foreseen. The Tribune would like to mention that Alexm had made our list, but that his crimes against existence caused the much feared pardus secret police to destroy him utterly. Obviously, his spot is now available, and the remainder of the list needs re-worked accordingly. Stay tuned pardus.
And thanks for reading.
