It is a great pleasure to see so many of you keenly pursuing joint citizenship, and with such creativity and aplomb. It would, however, be remiss of me not to spur you on in your quest; there are tasks still unsolved, and many still to be revealed, dear candidates. In a mere five days - on Monday the 7th of June - we will begin the active testing. Each day from thenceforth, I will be posing you new tasks, the better for you to prove your worth for the Empire. Be prepared!
An Admonition
It has come to our attention that several candidates have been completing our tasks using less than honourable methods. To these creatures I address the following:
You are observed, sirs. Your actions are noted, and your reputations diminished. This test, above all else, is one of character, of those qualities which the Empire values, and deceit is not amongst them. You will not profit from these methods.
A Congratulatory Note
On a lighter note, I have included below, for your entertainment and inspiration, several of our most inventive and impressive responses to the League of Extraordinary Tea Drinkers’ call for submissions.
Three Extraordinary Tea Drinkers
Submitted by tonytlwu - Taking pictures of hot beverages into the third dimension with style.
Submitted by nicklockey - An imaginative use of perspective and pirates.
Candidate nyami overcomes a fear of wasps for this extraordinary beverage.
Take these valiant, inventive submissions as your inspiration, go forth, and continue the good work! I await your responses with pleasure.
I am, as ever, your supervisor and servant,
Charlton Rice-Laurie.
