A note from the direct or
Greetings most esteemed visitor, one presumes if you are reading this, you have encountered the vibrant yet morally grey kingdom of Croyf. It is no surprise of course to have received such interest in Croyfian affairs, as Croyf has long been a proud Medieval Kingdom, under new reign by the Asquith family.
To the most loyal supporter, Croyf is a great Kingdom where its rightful rulers deserve their most unflinching support and following, no matter how dire one’s circumstances may get. Or how steep the royal tax may become.
To a more critical observer however, Croyf serves as an illuminating study of the stark extremes of capitalism which abrasively co-exist within one community, to the annoyance of the other. It questions what good leadership looks like? And what, if anything, we owe to each other? Perhaps, in these testing times, some pondering thoughts from an old philosopher may be of guidance:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
Croyf’s final course is yet to be served, thus one leaves it up to the reader to decide what is just desert for their fellow people and leaders of this Kingdom. Should visitors dare to roll the dice while staying, it would be this writer’s advice to action caution for what they wish for and protect what thou have.
Therefore, stay with us keen visitor, as there is nowhere better to discover THE LEGEND OF CROYF
Yours faithfully, Lady Whistleblower.
P.S. A word to the wise… do make sure to cheer and whoop for the good Croyfian people, as treason under this leadership, is treated with zero tolerance. Let us pray the price of admission may remain the only price you pay in Croyf.
