Your Grace. Thank you for the advice, but I did not ask. I know that
being an autocrat is very demanding. I also know my personal limits.
This is why I choose not to autocrat. This means in no way that I do
not help my friends that do choose to autocrat. I have helped in may
other small but helpful ways. From driving two hours to collect
cooking gear to taking care of royal thrones that the squires left
behind. These tasks were not "fun" to do, but I still did them. Please
do not tell me that I am not grateful of people who do autocrat.

Thank you Ursla. To anyone who could not see the humor in my
statement, I am sorry. Read it a second time, maybe you'll get it ;) .
