Well, Bowie has not come off as 'mad'. He's come off as childish and easy to goad. The poop jokes bugged me bad.
Anyway, you want quotes? Here is my favourite, after Bowie started getting insulting.
"I am being a gentleman Lord Bowie, with a bit of patience, you will get all you wish and more... A trusted ally is far better than an angry capital Duke."
And the whole copy of my first letter after his demand:
"Letter from Sevastian Guile (10 days, 23 hours ago)
Lord Imperator,
We can save money if I transfer the capital. After having spent all my hours establishing the realm I am weary, and unable to do anything else. These damned clerks take the life out of a man.
I also gave my word to reestablish the Duchess Pike to her rightful place.
The realm is yours, just be patient and let me finish the secession duties.
Sevastian Guile
Grandmaster of Swordfell
Duke of The Courts of Stone
Viscount of Balance's Retreat"
Add-on: Swordfell seriously feels like a training realm. All the realm wide OOC stuff constantly is annoying beyond belief.
