People of the Highlands! Members of Clan McLad! My name is Rikord Warg-Thain McLad, and I am the rightly-chosen Chieftain of the Highlands, the leader of Clan McLad. Rikord, you lads call me. I have been at the helm of this clan for 4 months now, and I have led it through a successful war with the King Arse Guard. I am sure that you know of the libel my uncle has been spewing about me. I say here, and may the Great One be my witness, along with all you fine lads, that my uncle has been corrupted by his thirst for power! Ever since my father's untimely death, he has been dreaming to become chief of the clan I inherited. A couple of days ago, this all spilled over, with a couple of high-ranking people I used to call my lads announcing that they will be running for Chieftain in the upcoming election.

While one has backed down, I find it important to say this to my main opponent. My uncle is not a peaceful man. He blew his top many times during the war against King Arse. He was the one that used dishonourable techniques, blowing King Arse up several times on the annual Carlos Day. I have thought long and hard about why my uncle has betrayed the Clan in his desperate bid to become chieftain, but now it has dawned on me. Loslie is trying to tie up loose ends. As part of the King Arse Guard, Loslie was brainwashed into becoming a Vagina God cultist. While other brave lads in the same situation, like Admiral Iroulf, have forgotten about all this, Loslie would never live it down. He exacted his vengeance by blowing up King Arse several times on Carlos day, and joining me on the chain of command of Clan McLad.

He is desperate to tie up his Vagina cultist past, and has been over-protective of his manhood ever since. Now I understand that it is easy to sympathize with Loslie, frankly, I do that myself, but it is pathetic to see him slander me with lies. We have proof the the King Arse guard are cultists, and we fight them for it. Yet Loslie claims I frobid him from hunting cultists, when I have done so more than him. His attempts to cover up his past have gone to far. I am not going to deny that if I die, Loslie inherits Clan McLad. In fact, I can say that Loslie even plots to murder me.

I want every lad to have the right to speak his mind and live his own life, I want the Highlands to be strong and safe, our sons and daughters jolly and with their bellys full of food. I want to tear down the yoke of the English, and give the Highlands freedom. I love Sctoland. I love the people, I love the very soil of the land. To my uncle this is a strange prospect. He sees only one thing when he looks over the people of the Highlands: tools, for his own power. It is Loslie's perverse love for power that drives him here. When he was a boy he used to torture ants, because he loves knowing that he is in charge.

During my marriage ceremony with Clamy, Loslie planned to kill my bride with us lads, but with her he plotted to kill me. Loslie is a two-sided coin, blood-thirsty and weak-minded. He has plotted more than any other man I know. Revenge has blinded him. A wise man once called him "the Rabbid Dog Of The Lads". This is what he is, a man who has fogotten the ways of Justice and Courage, and remember only blood and lies. I admit I have been cursed by the Vagina God for a short time, and Loslie is behaving the same way I did before I was cured by Beardbringer. This is why I ask you brave lads to vote for me, the True chieftain. Loslie is nothing more than a liar. While I know that deep inside him the fire of a true lad still burns, he is corrupt, blind, old and, to be honest, kind of a nutter. He claims the right of Chiefdom by being my fathers brother, yet he was the lesser brother. He is a killer, not a warrior or chieftain. To him our ideals are only words, and words are wind. I promise to do anything for my clan, for my Highlands and for my Lads.

Rikord, my lad. You think this is about you. I couldn't care less about you. This is about THE HIGHLANDS. It's people and it's heritage, which will be all but history if we don't stop King Arse. I do not care for petty personal relations, or that Thurbald was a greater lad than me, because he was. But I know one thing, and that is that you cannot rule this clan while you are locked away or on one of your "pilgrimages" while your captains fight the war. This is not the way of the McLads. We stay strong. We stay together.

Rikord, whether or not you are the true heir does not matter. When the King Arse Guard among with cultists, Algazzors, and other vile hags are knocking on our door, it is not for your heir or status we need to look. We need to look at the people. Those who are starving, those whom have had their goats killed and their sons castrated by the King Arse Guard. I will do ANYTHING to make the Highlands safe, even if it means sacrificing my honor and even my nephew. Thurbald rose from being a poor Highland farmer boy to the Great Chieftain of the McLads. It was not through his heir, or his background. It was through the will to help others and make the Highlands great again. You on the other hand - you're a boy with no experience. You've grown up shielded away from threats. I tried my best to teach you the ways of the true McLad, but you prefer fucking whores in Scarecrow's End. Maybe one day you will be worthy of the title you inherited, but not today, and certainly not when the King Arse Guard threat is growing.

As a summary, it does not matter who you are, or what your heir or heritage says. You may dream of Highlands safe from hags and other evils, and that is good. We need dreamers. But most of all, we need dreamers who do.

The Highlands are worth fighting for. Vote Loslie McLad.

-Loslie Mclad
