 You can threaten people like saying "If you dont give me a billion gazillion dollars I will kill you" or something, but most times people don't take it seriously, and it can't have any swear words or such in the message.  
So quiet
Another wasted night
The television steals
The conversation
Exhale
Another wasted breath
Again it goes unnoticed.

Please tell me you're
Just feeling tired
'cause if it's more than
That I feeel that I might break
Out of touch  out of time.
Please send me anything
But signals that are mixed
Cause I can't read
Your rolling eyes
Out of touch  
Are we out of time?

Close lipped
Another goodnight kiss
Is robbed of all it's passion,
Your grip
Another time, is slack
It leaves me feeling empty.

I'll wait until tomorrow
Maybe you'll feel better then
Maybe we'll be better then
So what's another day
When I can't bear
These nights of thoughts
Of going on without you
This mood of yours is temporary
It seems worth the wait
To see your smile again
Out of the corner of your eye
Won't be the only way
You'll look at me then.


-------------------------------------------------

I'm missing your bed  
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots
where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of
beast is taking me home.
I'm cuddling close
to blankets and sheets
You're not alone
and you're not discreet.
You make sure I know  
who's taking you home.
I'm reading your
note over again.
There is not a word
that I comprehend
except when you signed it
"I will love you always
and forever"

As for now I'm gonna
hear the saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder
how you're making out
But as for me I wish that I was anywhere
With anyone
making out

I'm missing your laugh,
how did it break?
And when did your eyes
begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy
as your pretending.
I'm missing your bed,
I never sleep.
Avoiding the spots
where we'd have to sleep.
And this bottle of
Beast is taking me home.

Your hair
It's everywhere
Screaming infidelities
Taking it's wear
------------------------------------------

Consider the odds
consider the obvious.
The martyr is meaningless
the campaign has died.
In the planning stages
and the fallen faces
are the singular proof
that it was ever alive.

This purchased rebellion
has been outdated
denounced and rescinded
and left to die championless.
I begged you not to go.
I begged you  I pleaded.
Claimed you as my only hope
and watched the floor
as you retreated.

Hope has sprung a perfect dive
a perfect day, a perfect lie.
A slowly crafted monologue
conceding your defeat.

Does it comfort you to know
you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory,
hollow and alone
to boast your bitter
bragging rights
to anyone who'll listen.
While you're left with
nothing tangible to gain
----------------------------------------------

Whatever poisons in this bottle
will leave me broken, sore and stiff
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at,
he owes me one last wish
So here's a present to let you know I still exist
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips

But I got a plan (I got a plan)
To drink for forty days and forty nights
A sip for every second-hand tick
And every time you fed the line,
?you mean so much to me?
I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say

And even if her plane crashes tonight
she'll find some way to disappoint me,
by not burning in the wreckage,
or drowning at the bottom of the sea
Jess, I still taste you, and thus reserve my right to hate you
And all this empty space that you create
does nothing for my flawless sense of style
It's 8:45 (it's 8:45), the weather is getting better by the hour (rains all the time)
I hope it rains there all the time
And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied
I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say,
who would do anything you say

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it [15x]

Okay no more songs about you. After this one I am done.
You're gone.[repeat untill end]

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say

Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter
and this morning I threw up fire
But it's nothing new
I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room
And every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song,
and every stupid word that everybody's hanging on

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Last night I fell asleep next to a liar
and I woke up with a shiner
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back with a view
of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head
And this quiet dark bed feels like the middle of nowhere
And we beat each other up just like we always do
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

They hung her from the bridge on Monday
The gathering turned to a mob out on the lawn
They dropped her body in the river
School and work returned to normal before long
(before long... and no one will mention any of this again)

Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a twenty-dollar bill
That says no one's ever seen you without makeup.
You're always made up.
And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you always criticize the Smiths.
and Morrissey.

And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic.
But when I say let's keep in touch,
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mix tape.
It's short just like your temper,
But somewhat golden like the afternoons
We used to spend before you got too cool.

Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow [repeat 4x]

 Although threats can be annoying, I usually find them as rather funny.  Sometimes when my identity is not known, people try to threaten me that they will attack me unless I pay them money, so I usually wipe then out.  Hehe.  Also part of holding the emperorship is people rank 90 sending letters how they are going to get me.  I suppose I could send aid to someone in the rank 80s and tell them to attack the fool, but I just don?t reply and wish I could block them.  

I have told people that I ?will? attack them, but then that is not a threat, but a ?promise.?  And sometimes after someone has attacked me I give them the option of sending aid or facing retaliation, but that is a ?choice?.   So I don?t think I have ever given a hollow ?threat.?

Threats, extortion, and blackmail are all part of the game.  As far as I am concerned, anyone that falls for such tactics will just be a target for more of it.  So I would recommend never paying unless it is compensation for your own wrongful attack.

 This really doesn't answer your question at all, but some of the threats I've gotten were really amusing. Like once in the first or second era, one guy demanded 8 billion food. Those kinds of people usually stop bothering you if you ask them to say please after you prod them with rats or stoats or whatever.

 I moved this because it seems that a lot of people have a lot to say about threats made to and by them.  

Seems this is a good game topic.

*dies laughing* Gosh, I have to remember that one. Some of the newbies on this game are just so amusing. That one guy back in first era happened to have good timing- I was about to delete my account and destroyed my guards, and he was proud of himself for breaking in. But I scolded him for not saying please, and immediately built up my guards again, and when he unsuccessfully tried to prod through my armies, I never heard of him again.

 lol, amusing....Threats are hilarious.....Especially the ones that go and say that all their attacks from now on are going to be focused upon me and they attack a few times and then they don't do it anymore...So amusing....And then there's the people that demand billions of dollars for being attacked, but as we all know I'm not a cash builder, so I just laugh and ignore them and try to horde more money to myself, which comes to be unsuccessful....evil poisoners...

 Ha, that reminds me of how I used to play in the First Era, back when I was in EO. I always felt guilty attacking anyone, and sent my victims a ton of aid afterwards. That's one of the reasons that earned me the title "The Benevolent" from Raine. I also remember some people who wanted me to attack them. o.0 That's also why the 50 billion dollars Stormy gave me depleted so quickly.

 The thing with getting sent threats from low, weak Warlords, is that if you reply with something intelliegent and funny, they don't get it. So why bother?
I honestly don't find being threatened very hilarious or intimidating, either.

 hah, i think wolf has a point. The funniest threats are the ones you get when you are playing for secret. When i was For Glory, i had a slew or arguements with northern hordes for a long time. he kept telling me about how much better he was. he felt confident 'cause i was so far below him... then i killed the emperor, that shut up him HAHAHAHAHA.

And on turbo i've had people sent lots of stuff to Mice of might before i spent so many days in first play to earn some respect... ahhh, good times. *goes off for studys*
