Congratulations @themanwithnoname! Glen really is an unstoppable force :)
And, umm, I hope you're not too upset, but I traded my winner circle jacket for an ice cream truck here ;)

Oh, that's totally ok. As the king, @glenalbrethsen is obligated to get you another one. Just file a "lost/stolen/traded-for-ice-cream-truck" claim and he'll have another one made up for you right away! :D
Um. Now we have claim forms for winner circle jackets that are lost/stolen/traded for ice cream trucks? This place keeps getting stranger and stranger. I thought we were trying to get away from monarchies and bureaucracies with this decentralized blockchain stuff.
Obligated sounds so final. Like I have to do it, like it's fate or something. A done deal. Nothing I can do about it.
If I truly am the king, which I'm not claiming to be (and have been trying to do away with the title from the beginning), shouldn't I be the one saying what I'm supposed to do? Or are you my right hand man, in charge of telling me my itinerary and my duties (even if it's a little after the fact? :)
hahahaha Glen, apparently @themanwithnoname is your press secretary and he just makes things up as he goes :)
And sorry...you fought for the crown, it's yours now!
Well, see, that's another thing I didn't know. I didn't know I had or needed or frankly would ever want a press secretary or a herald/ambassador/prime minister, whatever he is. He's good at making things up as he goes, though.
I mean, did you have a herald? And winner circle jackets? And so on? Is there really a circle of winners? It always appears as a list of winners, in a rather organized manner. I'm not sure how that's a circle.
Ha ha, yeah, I just come with the crown. You don't even know and then BAM, press secretary.
You can add other positions as needed, or as people appoint themselves.
Twice a year we get together for a BBQ and we get in a circle and take a panoramic selfie. It's tradition. :D
So... either you've been slacking off for the first three weeks that I was on top, or this is a position that only pops up after the fourth week, which I'm being told hasn't happened before. Which means, this is your first go being press secretary for the engagement league.
The BBQ sounds great. I think you should host it and organize it. I'll bring the chips and salsa. :)
I can't think of any more rules right now. I just finished my post and my brain is fried, so you're off the hook. You're free to king however you want! Heh.
Sure, I can organize it. That doesn't tend to work out well (historically speaking), but at least you and I will be there... and we'll have chips and salsa. Can the chips be Juanita's?
Yes, I'm making it up as I go, but don't tell @glenalbrethsen. ;)
You know, I've been learning this the hard way, but if you mention someone in a comment, it at least gives them the opportunity to see what otherwise could have been hidden forever. Now, I know that's not a guarantee people will come running, because they think they have better things to do and all, but when it comes to being a part of an engagement league, it's nearly a foregone conclusion.
And, anyway, it wasn't much of a secret that you're making this up as you go. 😬
I only tag people when I want them to come see what I'm writing about them. And when I talk behind someone's back, it's in front of their face. Wait... sure, let's go with that! :D
Yeah, I like shooting from the hip. It's hipper than planning things out. Hopefully it's at least entertaining.
Yeah, I know. Just giving you a hard time back. It's always best to talk about someone behind their back when you're in front of their face.
Talking about someone in third person when they're right there, and you all know it—priceless.
Okay, maybe I revealed a little too much there of my own personal demeanor. I will just say I haven't done that in a very long time. Very long. Yeeeeeeeeears. :)
Nah, we have to have a way to help people get their jackets back. If someone's account is stolen, we help them get it back. If their jacket is stolen (or purposely trader for an ice cream truck to distract the king), then the king is obligated by "fair play" rules to help them get it back or get another. Part of the job. :D
No, there's nothing you can do about it... except resign. Don't make me get @abh12345 in here to tell you that you have to replace her jacket. It's in the fine-print of the League. ;)
Yeah, you're the king, but I tell you what you have to do as the one holding that position. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Ha ha.
See, this is one of the big reasons why I've never been keen on holding power. It sounds like that I really don't have that much power at all. And if it were truly like that, I'd be the most powerful man on the face of the planet because of my wife (telling me what to do). So, sorry, man, I ain't buying it. 😬
Asher makes the rules, so if he wants to enforce something, he'll enforce it. In the meantime, everyone is free to do whatever they want within the rules of the leagues, which, if that includes having winner circle jackets in the first place, or trading them for ice cream, go for it.
Thanks for trying to distract me with all this, but I think it's having the exact opposite effect. :)
Sorry, @lynncoyle1, it looks like you aren't going to have a champions jacket at the reunion. Unless you get out there and win another week! ;) Ha ha
Since she's the one who traded in the champion's jacket for an entire ice cream truck, she can bring the truck to the reunion. :)
Also, when she wins again, she gets the crown and cape back, which I'm guessing she thinks, just guessing, is waaaaaaaaaaay cooler than the jacket because she traded said jacket for the ice cream truck. :)
That's a great idea! What a clever way of getting ice cream to the party. I like it!
