I love the irony of their latin there.

Non nobis domine non nobis sed nomini tuo da gloriam.

On the 12.6% improved relations poster, I read between the lines as: "Lord Vaari went to eight organizations to pursue better standings. One in eight was improved. Since it would be impossible for Vaari to fail, we'll count the other seven as a slight improvement as well."

Lord Vaari makes it crystal clear that no one is above him ...except for the great many who are above him.

The latest "Vaari teaches IPHAR how to mine ice" sounds like we'll need vaarilookingatthings.tumblr.com.

Silver Night > I feel like we should keep Cia in reserve. A little bit for Cia's sanity, but mostly because her putting on her mod hat is like calling in Rommel to deal with a paintball game.

Vaari will be seeking CSM membership in the next election.

No, really. No joke.

Y'know I'd be more than slightly tempted to vote for him. If only to see who is behind such inspired lunacy.

I think there is a video of him talking in public in a con, but personal information and stuff, so even if I still had the link, wouldn't share. He's also somewhat trolly when writing under his own name (there is a specific gaming forum that enforces this).

While in general Finns have good command of the English language, we tend not to talk it amongst ourselves. (Well, Nokia and a few other companies where corporate policy states that meetings must be conducted in English even if no non-Finns are present are an exception.)

Technically, if you've passed through the Finnish school system within the last few decades, you're supposed to speak Finnish, Swedish and English. So technically, it doesn't matter, and when there's lots of foreign people involved, it may be easier to use broken English instead of do things partially in Finnish and partially in broken English and have the translator try to figure out what has been discussed.

But this is going well out of topic now. He's mellowed out a fair bit from the days when he was occasionnally compared to Mr. Niilo Paasivirta.

I just hope he is aware of how entertaining we find his antics to be.

There is evidence of true appreciation of Lord Vaari in his election announcement thread.  May it continue!
