Fido Elves Speak Out...

             Elflords and Kings in Region 10

                By: John Hentsch, 1:218/901





Jonathan Rothchild (Hart) didn't feel he was above the rules. He was

exercising his ElfLord rights granted to him by the ElfLord Manifesto

(Policy 4). You see, the document allows tyrannical behavior without

checks or balances. A Network Elflord can remove a Elf's node number at

will. It up to the elf to fight to get it back. Which you did... no

thanks to Policy 4 since ElfLord David Garret was still asleep after

being missing for many years for the Elf region. Elflord Rothchild was

counting on that...



Elflord Rothchild picked a particularly bad time to try to execute one

of his Elves for, at the same time, a power struggle between to wanna-be

Regional ElfLords were just starting for a full showdown in obtaining

ElfLord Garret's Elf Region..



During the on-going battle to decide who would be the new Regional

Elflord, the good Elflord Reese, who was in control, ruled that Elflord

Jonathan Hart was a bully and restored the Elf's node number and

demoted Net Elflord Johathan Rothchild back to a mere elf. Jeff Reese

was one of those anomalies in Fidonet that appear from time to time. He

was know for high moral belief and even-handedness. He apparently

sensed Kohl's evil qualities on the get-go and proceeding to fight the

evil entity.



xElflord Rothchild has since disappeared from echo mail activity since

the fun was now gone from Fidonet. He now lies dormant watching and

waiting for another opportunity to get back to ElfLord status to

gain control over others for more fun-filled evenings.



... But back to the story:



The King Elflord, Satti, got wind of this unacceptable behavior of the

Good ElfLord Reese and replaced the Good Elflord with the Bad Elflord,

Kohl, to the position Regional ElfLord. The Bad ElfLord was so happy

that he promised to vote for the King Elflord whenever he had the

opportunity. He felt that the King ElfLord and himself were tight

buddies after that. The newly appointed ElfLord Kohl was so happy to be

in control of all the elves and sub-elfLords in Region 10, he forgot

about the elf Robres in net 218 as the newly appointed Net Elflord told

Kohl he would make sure the elf Robres didn't cause any more concern.

Elflord Kohl had bigger fish to fry anyway, and moved on rather than

ponder the elf Robres situation any longer.



As time pasted, The bad Elflord Kohl started torturing elves more and

more frequently. It got so bad that a elf Region in the Great White

North heard the screams of a poor group of elves and took them in to

protect them from the evil Elflord. The merciful Elflord couldn't

stand by any longer after the small group of Elves appealed the King

for mercy and to save them from the Evil Elflord. Apparently the pleas

for help were being back-burnered by the King. This move by the

Merciful Elflord was quite bold as it slashed at the Elflord's

manifesto of rules for governing elves.



Elves all over the Elfworld caught wind of the Bad Elflord's behavior

and became unproductive because they feared that they may be next. The

King Elflord had to take immediate action and put an end to Elflord

Kohl's reign of power to keep order in the Elfworld. If he hadn't,

other elves may have started to run away to the safe elf Region in the

North. The saved elves were happy singing praise about their new home in

the Great North. If that contined, all the other Elflords would then be

losing their subjects to govern over... a totally unacceptable

condition for the King unless the Regional Elflords would agree it

was ok.



Elflord Kohl then became very angry at the King Elflords behavior. He

used the F words and stomped his feet all he could. He beat his feet

and arms on the ground and flailed about. The Elflord tried to

use all the tricks he had left in his bag... but nothing was working..

So he did the ultimate, he quit! Surely then the Elflord King would come

running back to Elflord Kohl to plead with him to stay. But no salami,

The King Elflord told the xElflord Kohl to don't let the door hit him

on the ass on his way out...



The walls were falling in on the xElflord Kohl as things became more

blurred from lack of sleep and the realization that he wouldn't be able

to torment elves at will any longer.



In a fit of rage, Elflord Kohl wrote to The Elflord King to threaten

him that he would reveal top secret communications that the King had

engaged with Kohl. The King chuckled to himself since Kohl failed to

realize the he had been playing this game longer and he was quite

successful then Kohl in that he had been promoted the the universal

Elflord on his climb to power. Surely, the King Elflord was well

prepared with a contingency plan to deal with turn-coat sub-Elflords

like Kohl. Matter of fact, it was quite common to hold "book" on other

Elflords since distrust and power grabs can occur when one least

expects it.



xelfLord Kohl had made a big mistake qutting. Now he appeals to the

other Elflords for his Realm back. He misses tormenting the elves and

bossing around the sub Elflords...





The fun of Fidonet is now gone for xElflord Kohl, as it was with

Jonathan Rothchild (Hart). If you can't be a Elflord, what is a person

to do as a mere elf? Perhaps there are other electronic worlds that he

could try to gain control to, once again, fine happiness being in

charge of something...



And the story continues...
