Dear members of Richard's Appreciation Society! (we needed a new thread didnt we?)

A friend of a friend's neighbour's dog's trainer, sent this to me. And i thought it could be of interest considering my dedication towards my 'Initiation' to the Fan Club.
For legal purposes, I have to 'make it clear' that I was in 'no way shape or form' involved in these monstroseties. ( )





I love Richard, he is great!
I love Richard, I cant wait!

Friday, Saturday, Sunday long..
Mondays here now (serious yay), but TUESDAY still comes!

Wednesday approaching, getting closer
Deprived of perfection, I need a Richard poster?

That news article does make me think of Richard. *Laughs*

you do relise that WAR OF THE FAN CLUBS is starting beacuse there are so many

Not until you said something.


Way to expedite.

Hey, if it's gonna happen anyway, don't bother wasting any time. Get the ball rolling.

K.


Pella sucks. Richard rocks. Cale is meh. Go Felbunny!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...a Felbunny fan club......maby i should......OH NO IM NOT GOING TO GET SCREWED UP AGEIN!

Im sitting here with a glass (or 5) of Rosé.
And it struck me how much Richard picks me up, 'lo and behold' here in my darkest hours (its like 01 or something so its pretty dark)

Richard, you are a shining beacon.. and you light up my day (twice a week!) and this means everything to me.

I wish, oh how I wish, i could only meet you and speak to you and tell you how i understand you (like one of the crazy 'mass murder loving' b*tches who writes to and marries inmates)

You make me 'feel' again, after so long of being cold and indiffrent.

Thank you Richard! (if only id get a reply back *sniff*)


Love and MAYHAM
Psilo/Jo

wow, that was weird.

and as for apprenticeship, he has no apprentice, that would imply that he would quit killing people

*is trying to butter hhh221 up a bit*

No no it would imply that he is looking for young up'n'commers.

*ignores buttering up to*
which he would kill, less competition

The problem with all that would be the same as my theory of why Richard has Hctib as a familiar instead of some uuber awesome agent of destruction.

He'd love the concept of someone(thing) else losing themselves in the joy of destruction for a bit, but as soon as they(it) starts taking the spotlight away from him, or even distracting attention a little bit, he's gonna get pissed.

So yea, apprenticeship wouldn't really work out too well, seeing as how as soon as you get a little good at it, Richard will fwoom you.

Attention-seeking Richard is attention-seeking. :D

It's true.

I don't think it would be that simple. Yes, no doubt Richard would give up and fwoom hopelessly incompetent apprentices. From Richard's point of view, not being able to appreciate or remember Richard's vast superiority would certainly be proof of gross incompetence. So, yeah, any apprentice would have to remember their place. But Richard is transparent enough to let a reasonably clever apprentice manipulate Richard's ego. No doubt Richard would know what they were up to, but the fact that they were willing to do it would satisfy him. OTOH, if Richard fwooms someone just because they learn how to do a few things, how can they kiss his butt anymore?

Another aspect is that Richard wants a challenge. Of course, he wants to win even more, but why would he ever doubt that he would? I could see Richard toying with an apprentice, too. Let the apprentice do something a little impressive, then top it. Once the apprentice figures that out, top that one, too. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Letting an apprentice move on would be a little tricky. Richard wouldn't like them not needing him anymore. But Richard would get some ego satisfaction from the idea that they owe what they are to him.

I don't think it's all that different from the real world. There are a lot of egotistical bosses out there who are not all that different from Richard. Granted they can't fwoom anyone, but they can fire them, and in a way it's the same thing: firing someone makes them disappear from the company's or shop's universe. (I just noticed that the word is "fire". Interesting.)

Richard has shown that he can be very tolerant of people. Yes, really! Richard couldn't get Cale to stop calling him "Dick". (The fwoom doesn't hardly count since Richard got Cale restored.) Benny uses magic, so Richard could easily see her as a bit of a rival, but hasn't. Richard tried to put Pella in her place when he first met her, but she chopped off his arm instead. Richard said, "Nobody puts Richard in a corner," but let Tavor live. Ray'd put Richard in his place in front of everyone after Richard rode one of the Bloodrage. (Richard got in the last word eventually, but Ray'd wasn't fwoomed.) Finally, Benny and Pella just saved Richard from the Plain of Suck after Richard couldn't save himself. I'd bet that burns a little. It seems that anyone who could be the slightest bit of use to Richard gets a free pass.

I don't think Richard has ever been as one-sided as people make him out to be. He'd be very boring, to me anyway, if he was.
