I believe the axiom was "Great men do not seek power; they have power thrust upon them," not, "Great men give themselves titles in a hope to actually be great."
Perhaps, as you suggest, when I was 14 and thinking of a screen name, I wished for something to progress toward. Is it wrong to make my goals of greatness public? Is there any man who does not wish to be great at least one time in his life? In styling myself, "the Great," I did not wish to mislead anyone into believing that I am already great. Instead, I wished to inform them of my quest to be great. I also wished to illustrate my potential to be great, which I would fill as the Hero of Ages.
I mentioned nothing of my contract in my retort because I feel that I have already said all that needs to be said on the matter. Should you have further questions regarding the matter, feel free to bring them up an I will answer them if I am able.
I do not villify your bowing to the authority of Brenna. I myself would do the same. I do, however, condemn your oath of fealty to her. In making yourself her vassal, you simply set yourself up as a puppet. Those of you who support Chaos, know that you are not in fact supporting Chaos, but supporting Brenna as the Hero of Ages when you vote for him. While Brenna is a great person, she hasn't even been here to announce candidacy.
And (this comment is directed at My Opponent) who are you to say that I am competent in all-things mistborn, then turn around and say that I do not possess the judgment to hold the power? Who are you to accuse me of making things up as I go along? I have made nothing up, only proved my extensive knowledge.
I shall now proceed to answer the question directed at me in the debates thread.
