Title: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: Andrew the Great on October 27, 2009, 01:09:15 AM
Ok, here we are, the final showdown between our two candidates for Hero of Ages. This is the place to cast your vote. The candidate who receives the most votes will be inaugurated by myself on November 1st. Then they will take over as the Hero of Ages.

The Candidate who receives the second-greatest number of votes will be considered the runner-up Hero of Ages, to do what I am currently doing (filling in as Temporary Hero of Ages) in the event that something should happen to the Hero (Like assassination or impeachment).

If the candidates have anything they would like to say to convince the voters of TWG that they should be the new Hero of Ages, now is the time to do it.

You have 6 days from the time I posted this. Go. (I know, that was a pretty dramatic way to end my awesome speech)

Umm... My avatar's a PNG with transparency, so you can see the forum behind the silhouette. Also, South American rainforests have some of the largest ants in the world. Africa also has some large ants, and other crazy-big insects. That is why you should vote for me.

Good enough for me!

Acctually i voted you in so that next year i will have impeached both Chaos and Chance....

You should vote for me so you won't have to impeach me. I will eventually abdicate my situation of power, so as to save you all the hassle of impeachment.....Yes, I am considerate like that. :)

On another note, remember not to read Ee's post with an Asian accent. Especially not the last sentence.

Kaz, whose adversary are you? All life's? Those who wish for anti-squishy-dirt-under-the-grass legislation?

Abdicator! That's just several letters away from "bad dictator"...
I support this view wholeheartedly.

You make it seem like this is something new, but since you're the one who said it in the first place, this comes as no surprise to me....unless you changed your mind there for a bit. Are you a flip-flopper? Can't figure out where you stand on the important issues? Hmm?

Come to my side. We have slush funs. Imaginary Slurpees all around!

Well, my side has cookies. And cake. And everyone knows cake is better than slurpees...and pie. :) Although, I suppose if someone on my side really wants pie, that can be arranged too. I'm all for giving people options for delicious goodness. It's better than giving them only one choice, like slurpees (note that I am not bashing slurpees, it's just that I don't know many people who are always in the mood for slurpees so being on Sort's side doesn't really sound like much fun. Only slurpees? Meh).

I make my mind up every day. It's an essential part of my daily hygiene routine. Sometimes, when I'm feeling extra-super lazy, I stick with the previous day's mind, but it was made up as well. Just not as recently. What I'm trying to say is that my mind is completely made up.

I find the debate for this election hilarious. Especially when you compare it to the way Chaos and I were debating last year. We both had these huge long posts in which we'd basically twist anything and everything the other had ever said to mean something bad. Here..... it's kind of the same thing, but on a totally different level.
Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: little wilson on October 29, 2009, 01:47:11 AM

Yes. This is the level of the short posts. Much better. We're obviously more considerate candidates because we have the voter's interests at heart. Who really wants to read a super-lengthy post bashing the other candidate when they can read a short post twisting the other candidate's words? I'll take the latter any day. Hence, I write the latter. Speaking of which:

Ah, so you admit to being lazy. I admit to no such thing. My platform is always at the forefront of my thoughts, and I make no excuses putting off my decisions for it til later. Also, it sounds like you don't really get very far in your ideas, since you wake up every morning thinking, "Am I right? Should I change my mind from what I thought yesterday?" My ideas progress because I don't have to rethink them. I know I am right and can therefore further my thoughts.

Yeah, I'm pulling ahead with my new slogan. Somebody told me that people prefer "issues", "actual discussion", and "sane candidates", not a campaign made entirely of non-sequiturs. As Winston Churchill once said,"."
Ah, so you admit to being lazy. I admit to no such thing.
Sometimes he gets lazy too.
My platform is always at the forefront of my thoughts...
I prefer my platforms underneath and sometimes to the back of me, depending on whether we're talking about public speaking or shoes.
...and I make no excuses putting off my decisions for it til later.
Well, I'm glad you don't make excuses for that. If you did, we'd already be on page five of this thread, Queen of Excuses.
Also, it sounds like you don't really get very far in your ideas, since you wake up every morning thinking, "Am I right? Should I change my mind from what I thought yesterday?"
What you describe truly sounds horrendous. I can't imagine how awful the world would be if people questioned their views every once in a while.
I know I am right and can therefore further my thoughts.
Indeed. DaVinci, for example, was never wrong. He managed great things because he realized at a young age, like most children, that everything was his. "Mine," toddler DaVinci would say. "No, Leonardo, that's mommy's," his mother would say. But he would have nothing of that. He knew until the day he died that he owned everything ever because self-ownership was the first concept of ownership he learned. It's too bad he didn't ignore society completely and never learn to do anything but breathe, cry, and drink milk, because the world would have been a Utopia by now (if not by the time he died). The thought of DaVinci admitting fault, and adjusting his work accordingly, once in his career makes me shudder. Imagining him making multiple mistakes makes me cry like a child who never learned to smile or even eat in their blessedly short life that was totally ruined by their eviction from their comfortable home inside their mother.

Now, Andrew, don't be discriminatory. What about the left person? Technically, a left person could be voted in...

And Sort, now you're just being sarcastic.

And yes, I am the Queen of Excuses. I hold off using my excuses for things more worthwhile than procrastinating decision-making. But I suppose it should come as no surprise to me that you, lazy and lonely person that you are, don't hold to such standards.

Post by: Andrew the Great on November 02, 2009, 01:22:21 AM
Hmm... I'm ok with this plan. As long as wilson agrees to be Preservation. If not, then we'll have to have a duel or something to determine who gets to be HoA. Oh, and in order to actually make any decisions, you would both have to agree. Unless it's particularly chaos oriented or order-oriented. You know?

So in 11 months time who is up for impeaching Sortitus on the grounds of being a rightous A & Wilson for being a pansy (hey we need grounds & preservation is kinda pansyish...)?
Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: Andrew the Great on November 03, 2009, 12:17:47 AM
So it has been determined that either sortitus or wilson will be Ruin, and the other will be Preservation. They will inform us when they come to a decision on who will be which.

In the meantime, I'll go write an inauguration speech. Which will, of course, be merely a formality. After all, when I say, "I confer on you the powers of Ruin and/or Preservation" I'm not actually conferring said powers. Those powers transfer on their own the moment the election is decided. Otherwise, Chaos would still be ruling us all tyrannically. Honestly.

It'll be a good speech, I promise.

*Everyone gathers together in a large, virtual room. All goes silent as someone toward the front of the room says "All rise as for the (temporary) Hero of Ages, Andrew the Great!" (Yes the parentheses are included in the dialog). Andrew enters the room, and walks slowly toward the microphone. Tension builds, as everyone watches him approach sortitus and little wilson. Then .... *

Ahem. *looks at sort* Upon thee, sortitus, I do confer the powers of the being known as Ruin. You do, in accepting these powers, agree to use them as they were meant to be used, and to not kill me. You do also agree to confer these powers upon your democratically elected successor. Should you not accept these terms, you will receive only a portion of these powers, and you will be limited by the power itself.

*looks at wilson* Upon thee, little wilson, I do confer the powers of the being known as Preservation. You do, in accepting these powers, agree to use them as they were meant to be used, and to not kill me. You do also agree to confer these powers upon your democratically elected successor. Should you not accept these terms, you will receive only a portion of these powers, and you will be limited by the power itself.

What happens if we--together--think of a different set of semi-shardly names? Can we use the powers of those (as they were meant to be used)? Whatever they may be? As long as we don't kill you?

If the answer is yes, then I have no complaints whatsoever to the way I was just sworn in....
Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: sortitus on November 03, 2009, 06:14:39 AM
I do hereby accept my power, and declare today a day of feasting!

As my first act, I release my power to be used by Preservation without restriction except in matters of direct attack against my person or powers and the further release of my powers to other individuals.

Now where is my slave, the Inquisitor?

If you act together, you can do whatever the heck you want. Power of creation and all that.

However, disagreement = no power of creation, so you have to agree in order to do anything not explicitly defined in your powers as Ruin and Preservation, respectively.

Awesome and Awesomer

...Not really. Our true names, which are not Ruin and Preservation, will remain a secret. They are so amazing that letting you know them would Ruin our grand plans. However, if you want to refer to us by Awesome and Awesomer, sort is Awesome. I'm Awesomer. :P

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: sortitus on November 03, 2009, 08:35:08 PM
Our titles are both lowercase. Because we're the hoa, switches. We will always refer to each other sneakily within our fabulous posts (when we do refer to each other, that is), just so you can go through them agonizingly trying to determine what our names are. Ironically enough, I don't use wilson's name in this post (except for right there :P), which is saying how we will sneakily refer to each other. Interesting, wot? Perhaps I will start next post. So now you all have a hint. And another hint: wilson has not said either of our true names yet.

It's like the digging you normally do in book theory threads, but with less words to pick apart! What could possibly go wrong?

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: The Jade Knight on November 04, 2009, 06:41:34 AM
Actually, Dwin, it doesn't.  Dwin implies that you're a Gog and you don't have the faintest clue about literary usage.  But the fact that you wouldn't be Dwin if you weren't a Gog automatically ensures that you CAN'T be omnipotent.

And it sounds funny, too.

Chaos, being omniscient, merely has to get a single surprise attack to land and you'll be dead. He also knows exactly when and how it can be done. You merely have the means to stop what you are aware of. Oh, and the power to kill any of us you like at any time. Including Chaos. Oops.

But could you live with yourself after destroying all knowledge? There are far better things to do with omnipotence. Like making a paradise for Chaos to live in where you can visit him and ask him all about stuff. Or, you know, you could always make yourself omniscient.

/assuming that you are all-powerful

I'm waiting for that paradise for opening your eyes to the fact that you can give yourself any power you wish. Or do you need the knowledge Chaos has in order to use your skills effectively? Man, being a god is hard. I feel for ya, buddy.

Wow. Not having internet for 6 days results in missing a lot of discussion. And yes, miyabi, this will likely become a yearly event, though it's not for sure. Basically, we plan on impeaching the HoA every October just because we can.

Kaz proposed this one, and I seconded it. We just managed to impeach Chaos, and then we held elections again.

Honestly, it makes a great yearly event.

And if we're getting desperate enough to rely on Chaos and Kaz, the world's in bad shape. Much better to rely on our new Hero(es) of Ages, sort and wilson.

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: Andrew the Great on December 13, 2009, 07:29:04 AM
I'm ok with it. As long as Ruin and Preservation, who apparently have other names as well, which they do not want to share with us, are also ok with it, anyway. Not that my opinion even matters anymore, since I'm no longer Hero of Ages.
Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: little wilson on December 13, 2009, 08:31:25 AM
I, as my codename Preservation, am perfectly content with Zas's running for Hoid. In fact, I say he doesn't even have to run. I'm all for his simply getting the title, ironically....Don't ask me why this is ironic. I have no idea. I just felt like using that word. It's a fun word, eh? Ironic?...Anyway. sort may disagree. He's a disagreeable fellow, but I would hope he would chose not to create such discord among our followers, especially when we have Hoid here....Hoid does enough to our brains as it is.

Let us await sort's response to make sure. But know that you have 1/2 a vote...

Hoid is the possessor of a shard he must prove he holds the shard then he may call himself whatever he wishes... even if it's Swahili and we can never spell it correctly!  ::)

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: little wilson on December 15, 2009, 08:33:19 PM
I think it actually qualifies him more than disqualifies him....It puts him at least a little bit closer to the shard-holder (Brandon.....who I suppose in this case we could refer to as Adonalsium...or something), and all the more likely to have a shard himself. Making him more like Hoid. And therefore more qualified to be Hoid....Yes.

i'm going to have to disagree. And not because your logic is wrong or anything, but mainly because i feel like being disagreeable at the moment.


Take, for example, this perfectly logical counter argument.

Shard, which hoid has, rhymes with bard, which hoid sort of is, because of his storytelling and all. Hoid also rhymes with void, which is what space is. This is because Hoid is all over space like a mo' fo'.

Now space, obviousl rhymes with mace, which women use to protect themselves. Now, this all may be well and good, and if we left it at this, zas would be prefectly qualified, however, we haven't yet considered that a mace can ALSO be a type of weapon! That's right! Look it up!

Obviously, a weapon can be used to harm and kille people. People also kind of rhymes with feeble, which clearly, IN NO WAY, rhymes with Zas.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the offense rests its case.

Post by: zas678 on December 16, 2009, 06:03:31 AM
Not a tyrant. Just an annoying little storyteller/beggar/informant/Terrisman/anything else I want  ;)

(and Karen's cousin, just to be clear)

Oh! and Feeble rhymes with Evil, which backwards is Live, which rhymes with give, which describes Santa, who gives presents to the masses, and mass rhymes with Zas!  ( I know it's a stretch, but hey! who said Hoid has to be concise. In fact I think, if anything, Hoid has a responsibility to be long-winded)
Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: Andrew the Great on December 16, 2009, 06:08:38 AM
Well if we're going entirely on long-windedness, Chaos should probably be Hoid. Not that we want to open that can of worms up again....

No, let's not open that can of worms. I'm not in a worm-eating mood....More like a fudge-eating mood, and worms would just kill that craving....

So is it final? Is Zas Hoid? I vote yes, and since I am a co-Hero of Ages, my vote counts as...a lot. Like 200. Or something big....Yes. So unless sort disagrees with me, Zas is officially the unofficial Hoid. :P

Did I just hear someone call for a savior? Why do you need to call for one, as if you don't already have a Hero of Ages? In fact, you have two. Don't be getting greedy now. We, in our respective positions of authority and titles and control and such, can take Chaos down. Any long-windedness (or worms) that Chaos may throw out will be defeated by the short, succinct posts that sort and i are so good at (and if he throws worms, we have lots of birds....Yes. We do. And these birds don't just eat worms. These birds are Birds. You know the Hitchcock movie The Birds? Yeah....Chaos should run in fear from our pets).

Plus, Chaos has a capital letter in his name. This alone makes him inferior to us. And numbers. Psh....Who resorts to numbers? lame.... :P

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: little wilson on December 21, 2009, 07:45:58 PM
No, Kaz. We are two people who are powerful, and with that power combined as it is, we are so much stronger than your feeble arm-swings. We blast you with Uzi's. Or we would if we had Uzi's but we don't. Because our weapons are so much cooler. Our weapons are our brains.....And our Birds...But the emphasis is on the Brains.

Anyway, your statement of us being less powerful is an outright lie. You are inferior also because of your many capital letters. And also because you don't know our true names, which if you were truly stronger than us, you would know. Because of your supposed 'omnipotence' or whatever it was....

And Chaos, it doesn't matter if you had more votes. You were deposed. Because you are tyrant, and you even admitted to being a tyrant. Plus, sort and i are cooler, because we don't feel the need to have capital letters in our names, lording it over everyone else. We are humble, because of all of our small letters. Yes. It is true. Humility abounds with us.

Nope I'm Omnipotent Not Omniscient (That's Chaos) And Capital Letters Signify Importance And I am Important Therefore I Am Capitalizing All Of My Words! And Chaos Was Only Deposed Because I Thought It A Funny Practical Joke! All Dieties are Tyrants! The Fact That You Are Not Proves Your Lack Of Power!

Wow. This is sad.

Oh, and wilson, please stop talking about your true names. It makes me think of Eragon, which is not a pleasant thing to think about.

Besides, I'm officially throwing my lot in for Zas, and since I also have divine powers by virtue of being awesome (I'm not omniscient or omnipotent, Kaz, but I have something even better - see if Chaos in his "Omniscience" can figure that one out...), my vote tips the scale in favor of Zas over Chaos, who only ever really had one vote anyway (Yes, himself. His mother might have voted for him if she were a forum-going type person...which i say with absolutely no knowledge of his mother except that she's not on TWG, so far as I am aware), which can hardly count as real competition.

So even if sort comes back and votes against Zas, he still has a majority and therefore wins.

Oh, and apparently Hoid was there when Andonalsium was shattered, so I'm not really sure that the Shards have all that much influence on who is Hoid anyway (since he did come before them - also, I think you might have just elected your own competition (Hoid seems to be bound to a shard) which is pretty ironic).

You got me. My mom is actually Kaz.

....Well. That explains a lot.

Also, Andrew. Yes. It is ironic. It's also ironic that you should use that word to describe the situation....But the irony doesn't matter...Not really anyway. What does matter is that Hoid being probably Shard-bound won't be able to do anything to us if he doesn't know our true names ( :P ). At least, probably. Because he won't know what to do to us, since he won't know where our powers lie, and what our strengths (and there's a lot of them) and weaknesses (but not so many of these) are. And when our powers are combined, we are practically undefeatable.

You'll just have to take my word for that, since none of you know our real names (although it really wouldn't be too difficult to figure it out. You'd just have to search our posts...We have laid enough clues thus far that I think some of you more astute individuals could piece the puzzle together...). However, if you don't want to search, you can still refer to us by either of our codenames--Awesome (sort) and Awesomer (me) or Ruin and Preservation. Take your pick, but don't mix us up....

Since everyone appears to have divine powers around here, doesn't that mean there's no one to worship them, which also means that being divine is normal, in addition, with no worshippers, doesn't that generally mean your powers run dry and you run out, since many forms of religion and fantasy and such proclaim that faith in the being is what fuels their powers?

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: little wilson on December 24, 2009, 03:58:46 AM
I'm Awesomest.

Actually, Jade already claimed that title....

And Kaz, true names are actually pretty useful. For example, if my true name was Invisibility, said shooter wouldn't be able to see me, and thus wouldn't hit me. If my name were Tardiness, I would arrive late to the bullet (and perhaps I would change my name to Leavenworth....). Or perhaps if my name were Dissension, or something of the like, I would sow dissent in the vehicle, thereby distracting both driver and shooter and making the shooter miss, because of both his distraction and the driver's inattentive driving. Or better yet, if my name was Irony, the bullets would miss me (or hit my bullet-proof vest that I always wear...either way) and ricochet back, hitting the driver square in the head and causing an accident that kills everyone in the vehicle.

Oh, I rather like Irony's outcome. Sounds like fun. :)

I hate to tell you but if you are named Stonecrusher that DOESN'T give you the ability to crush stone barehanded and neither to any of the other bull crap names. Your power is to preserve and when combined with Ruin's create I however can create AND destroy and it is limitless! You see omnipotence is an awesome ability b/c i can do anything!

Title: Re: Final Elections for the New Hero of Ages
Post by: little wilson on December 24, 2009, 07:09:56 AM
No. My power is not to Preserve. That is Preservation's power, however, I am not Preservation, nor is sort Ruin. Perhaps we were Ruin and Preservation when we were first elected, but such is not the case now. You see, we used our powers of creation to adorn ourselves with new names and new powers. Andrew gave this idea his approval. Blame him if you're in disagreement with it.

So basically, we have limitless power in the powers that we have given ourselves which are SO much more Awesome than Ruin and Preservation....In some ways. Even if we've lost our ability to create. At least we can't really destroy either. We can just do loads of awesome....which is awesome.

Therefore, since you cannot control us nor our loads of awesome, you are not omnipotent. Nor are we, but at least you are not either. And since you have referred to yourself as omnipotent many times, and it has now been proven you are liar, I think we can safely assume that you are a deceiver. Perhaps the Great Deceiver, and since you and Chaos have both admitted to being related in some way, shape, or form, he has your evilness as well. Of course, this was a given, since he's a tyrant, but.....whatever. No more will you deceive us. We will not abide it. sort and i will stand against you, striking you down as the heroes of ages we are....

We were running for Heroes of Ages. Not Ruin and Preservation. Our new powers and names do not hinder the duty for which we were elected. They simply give us a different way to carry out that duty. However, do not let this explanation concern you overly much. Our new powers and names have nothing to do with tyranny, nor will we ever abuse our powers like that....Hence, there are no grounds for impeachment, unlike there was for you, my dear tyrant.
