The Geryk Rebuttal: MajestyThe only other lucid grievance he has is that pretending to be an elf is both "queer" and symptomatic of an "emotional deficiency". First of all, since Majesty never mentions the race of your unseen king character, the fact that Geryk was evidently play-acting an elf the entire time is his own creepy problem. Plus, after reading his glowing review of Europa Universalis, it appears that while he has an irrational grudge against elves, given half a chance, he'll happily spend sixty hours daydreaming he's Ferdinand Hapsburg. And as far as the queer part: Single men who keep cats and live in ornate Loetz glass houses shouldn't girly-throw stones, if you get my meaning. In case you don't, I'm suggesting that Geryk is a homosexual.
Ultimately, we like what's familiar to us. For Bruce, that's solving math problems and bossing people around. For me, it's relaxing while other people do things so that I don't have to. And really, if you're honest with yourself, which one of us are you more like? Remember: Geryk is gay, a doctor, an investment banker, and then a doctor again.
