Several things

First, the reports are true, I did indeed make a large withdrawl from
the jesters account 'robbing' them of their funds. I am willing to
accept what consequences my actions bring, be that open PK for some
amount of time or indefinitly, disfavours from various gods who took
offense to my actions, abandoment by friends, and even abandonment
by my family. As per Sarapis's post, the gold will indeed one day be
repaid, in full, plus the deductions made by the banks and adjusted
by the rate of change in value of gold, but don't get all teary eyed,
that day is far far off.

What led me to do this? What could drive a person who was so committed
to their guild to betray it? First, a lot of you may think it was
greed. I mean, you all know how much it was, 864000 gold. Thats a ton!
So, what can 864000 gold buy? Well, suppose the market value for credits
is 3600, that is a bit less than current market value but this just a
hypothetical situation. That amount of gold will buy 240 credits.
What will 240 credits buy you? For starters. you could get a
major skill from inept to mythical at around 20%. Or, you could buy a
flowerpot and an artifact vial. There are a variety of ways to spend
such an amount of credits, but really, that is not a lot. Not even
enough to get a skill to transcendent, barely enough to buy the lowest
of artifacts. If you think greed drove me to this, you are mistaken.
So what was it then? Well, I cannot reveal my plans for the gold yet.

To any jesters who took this personally, perhaps you should be angered
at the person who gave me such power in the first place. Most would
have learned the lesson from the other thefts of funds, but, the guild
leadership did not learn from its mistake, and it was repeated.

To champions and assassins who are being contacted for my death, I
bear you no ill will for doing your job, I only ask that you have some
taste in clients before you do their dirty work. One would think
that someone over twice the might of another would not need to hire
someone to carry out their grudges.

To Avelorn, No I don't have any Iron.
To Ferren, *threatening looks*
Baron Von Digity was here.
Well thats it,
