Good job, and keep\nup the good work :).\n     --Odessyus Harthlen (Number Two, Order of Templars)\n \nA note from CoD staff:\nWe received several comments from people that were offended by some of\nlast weeks poll answers.  While we apologize to anyone offended, we don't\nfeel it would add to the quality of the paper to censor responses to our\nquestions.  However, we do appreciate your comments and suggestions so \nkeep them coming in!!!\nStaff of CoD<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In which we dared ask, what does Darrek wear under his kilt? ______ ___ | ____ | |.&#8212;-..&#8211;.&#8211;. .&#8212;&#8211;..&#8217; _| -O- (____) | | &#8212;|| _|| | | | _ || _| | \/____\\ -O- |______||__| |___ | |_____||__| |___.&#8212;.&#8212;. | _____ |_____| __ |__( __|__ )_ | \\ .&#8212;&#8211;..&#8212;&#8211;..&#8212;&#8211;..&#8212;.-.|__|.&#8212;-. |\/ \\\/\\_\/&#8221;\\._)\/ \\ | &#8211;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"class_list":["post-1752","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1761,"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1752\/revisions\/1761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/realmsofdespair.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
