As most of you know, Grand Duke has chosen to leave the quiet little A2K community. Panzade started a thread in an attempt to bring the Duke back into the midst, but his efforts were in vain.
I decided to take matters into my own hands. I dressed up in a nice suit, put on my best tophat, and went searching for Grand Duke.
I found him in the park, feeding the pigeons. He had a sorrowful look on his face and didn't notice me at first. He just kept throwing bird seed on the ground and making gentle cooing noises to the birds.
Finally he looked up and saw me. "Ratzenhofer! What the hell do you want? I thought I made it perfectly clear that I am divorcing A2K and all of its members."
He got up and started to leave. I had to act quickly, so I dropped on my knees and began to plead with him....
But he just stared at me, impassively, and then quietly turned and walked away.
I remained on my knees for quite some time, the gentle rain washing away my tears. Finally, I arose. I slowly walked from the park, and the sad realization hit me that the Grand Duke wasn't kidding.
He's not coming back.
This site is less because of his unfortunate decision.
