LordWordSalad: Good day! Might I be so bold as to point out that it is #MannersMonday, the day that I invite you to ask me questions about ettiquette?
GabrielGadfly: @LordWordSalad What is the proper etiquette when one has recently invaded and trounced a rival nation? "Booyah!" seems juvenile.
LordWordSalad: @GabrielGadfly One should then loftily dictate the terms of surrender. If losing party is willing to sit down for tea, less condescension.
LordWordSalad:@GabrielGadfly Once terms of surrender are agreed upon is a good time to release live hostages or return bodies for a proper funeral.
LordWordSalad: @GabrielGadfly If your hostages developed Lyric (Stockholm) Syndrome, that should be a separate tea talk. Keep bodyguards handy.
GabrielGadfly: @LordWordSalad ...live hostages? We were supposed to take those?
GabrielGadfly: @LordWordSalad Also, if I return bodies, what will I decorate the battlements of my castles with? One must not neglect decor.
LordWordSalad: @GabrielGadfly Ah, you're a traditionalist! Sending fingers or toes is more threat than consolation. Perhaps a written account of the death.
LordWordSalad: @GabrielGadfly In this case you are according the deceased some sort of honor, so embellish and don't mention how loud the screams were.
