Sir Mandy Mandorallen tiered early last Wednesday morning, which has resulted in one of the biggest tiering upsets in Aardwolf history. Dozens of people who have invested millions in gold and TPs against Gaardian's Editor-in-Chief not tiering by 2010 were left with jaws hanging as Mandorallen tiered after 13 years of hanging around Aardwolf and doing nothing much in particular.

Fortunately, most of his friends who participated in this gamble have long since reached the upper tiers beyond T5, and have left Aardwolf many years ago thinking such an event would never happen in their lifetimes.

To compensate for the losses of the players that have stuck around till today, Mandorallen has been demoted to the rank of Editor-in-Chief of all Things Deplorable. This unpleasant position is reserved for only the most unpopular of people, and comes with responsibilities and tasks that no one ever wants to touch with a 9 foot Halberd of Aardwolf. Mandy has already been assigned the lamentable task of mapping The Dark Continent, Abend, in full colour as the first job of his new tier.

When asked when he would reach T2, Mandorallen had his sights in the future: "I'm not sure, maybe 2025? It sounds like a good year to tier. There'll be T99s running around and ruining the MUD, epic continents with over 10,000 rooms that will just be waiting to be mapped in full colour, and Gaardian will still be called Gaardian, cause we're just old-fashioned that way."
