hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....

On the off-chance that it wasn't a joke, to even think that an Eurmali could contemplate being an anti-lunar partisan misses the whole point of being a trickster. Besides the Eurmali are so disorderly that the Lunars would have to mutate into the Keystone Cops for the eurmali to have some chance of success.

But Robin Hood never managed to put the Sherrif out of a job. Whereas we're talking about successful guerilla campaigns. A big difference methinks.

Luckily We didn't tell him about the Five Eyes temple.
