You should too, it’s time to let go of Kage. I had to realize after Gerard mentioned either here or elsewhere that we look silly arguing with him despite getting clean dunks in every so often. He didn’t say it directly but that’s the impression it gave me. He is a filthy post flagger and a liar to boot, you were honest so I gave you a second chance. It’s in the best interest of the community to ostracize him. ---

My favourite part of that video is how he repeatedly states, “The legend is real.” He tried really hard to prove that I am a fraud, and ultimately he concluded I’m one of the best players in the game. I found it very flattering. That’s high praise! > “Aiko Danuja… The Legend… one of the most famous outlaws in New Eden. That is real… Aiko Danuja is ALWAYS your OFFICIAL High Princess… Aiko Danuja Is the Best Bee… The top of the solo leaderboard is YOURS… To be fair to the princess, the rest of the record is real… the LEGEND is real…” As long as people keep paying me to do this, I ain’t never gonna stop! ---

A true legend deserves sponsorship, plus no Aiko means no blog what are we going to do without such rich unfiltered content? ---

In this game, I do what I want to do. My playstyle is not dictated by others. If someone wants to erase one of my ships, they are welcome to make the attempt. I don’t obstruct their play style anymore than I will let them obstruct mine. ---
