So it seems as though David Watson — Iolo, to those familiar with his Ultima persona — hit a bit of a milestone on Twitter recently:

Gack! I've got 141 followers. I hope you guys don't expect me to say something clever.. in 140 characters!

Which gave Richard Garriott an idea:

@DavidRWatson2 I know there are many more who would! How about we commission a second song for #LBSotA if you cross 500?

The idea took off amongst a handful of Shroud of the Avatar backers who follow Lord British on Twitter, including Holt Ironfell of the Poets’ Circle guild. Iolo, however, seems to have been caught rather off-guard by the whole thing:

@RichardGarriott @einsteinsarcade @holtironfell Whuuut? Iolo

At any rate…do follow Iolo on Twitter, would you? Because hey, he’s Iolo. And if Shroud of the Avatar gets another song out of it, more’s the better.
