Do you have not-main-character vikings under your command, Olaf-the-Bald? Does Omar?
Do you have to recruit your own subordinates? Are they actually vikings? Do you have to be born viking to be a viking, or can you turn people into vikings, like vampires turn people into vampires or werewolfs turn people into werewolfs?
Also, are they partially fish-sticks?
He then posted this comment right underneath it:
Are you allergic to your fish-stick-flavoured subordinates?
Now, despite the fact that good ol' Firey has been a die-hard fan since day 17*, he obviously hasn't been paying attention. There are eight main characters in this blog: Me, Omar the Bold, Erik the Noisy, Lulu the Loud, Phil the Conceited, George the Yellow, Soren the Hard-of-Hearing Scribe, and our chieftain Gregory the Hairy. Now, every single one of those main characters report to the eighth main character, Gregory, and Gregory has around forty other vikings who report to him. The rest of us? We just putter along and somehow survive every single bad thing that happens to the rest of the non-main character vikings. Its like Pirates of the Carribean, man!
The only TRUE subordinate I have is Archon the Cat; remember him? From, like, the first twenty posts? And for all those who have cats, you know that a cat is a subordinate to NO ONE. I mean, if he was starving to death, and I asked him to eat some food, he would not eat JUST because I told him to. He stays alive after every encounter, too, though I never mention him, since he usually doesn't show up until two weeks afterward, soaking wet and meowing like the world is ending.
That is all.
Olaf the BAAAAALD!

The reason I asked was because a lot of the time, high ranked but not captain-ranked people in an organization (or disorganization or any amalgam of the two)have their own staff/squad/whatever. Often-times a lieutenant will have at least one helper, or another fairly skilled person (such as yourself) will lead some sort of elite squad on the captain's orders.
I'd also like to point out that you never answered my question as to whether the people you recruit to fill up those non-main-character slots on your crew are vikings to begin with, or do they have to undergo some sort of viking boot camp or other means of specialized training to become such. Another possibility is that, like vampires and werewolves, vikings turn people into them by some means (such as biting, or whacking them over the head with the hammer of thor(the way knights are knighted by their king/queen/ruler) or some other viking-relater object/their WoC).
