Besides, I'm a depressed scholar. Remember what happened with the Lord Ruler? He was succeeded by a depressed scholar....

Elend wasn't depressed, he was far too innocent for that.

Monsta, wilson has no practical political experience. Me? I was elected god.

I ...

was going to correct you, and then I realized that doing so would probably be considered a spoiler. ::)

So, you've totally been corrected. Just, not out loud. In my HEAD.

Yeah well you weren't elected god by me so don't worry about me missing church. Secondly I'm not sure if your aware but wilson seems to be a fairly "good" politician. I'm going to go with the "good" representing her competency at being a politician and leave it at that.

To be honest Chaos, your campain for HoA left something to be desired.

Everyone's a critic.

Besides, I'm a famous mercenary now. See? Famous.

I still claim that Elend is depressed. Just not right when he takes the throne.

And I don't know, but I'd rather have the victorious mercenary on my side than the famous one....Fame doesn't do much good if you're dead.....

That's debatable. We could always find out how "victorious" I really am if you want.

The Lord Ruler was also Famously Immortal. And look at how that turned out. Not actually immortal after all, eh? Besides, you were elected to be the  Hero of Ages, not to be God. There is no inherent divinity in the title Hero of Ages. Just because certain individuals happened to become gods in the process of saving the world does not mean that the title bestows godhood. Nor does it bestow immortality. Let's make this clear.

Now, I guess you could claim Divine Right. But that's about as far as it goes.

Of course, he can't claim that his Divine Right was democratically bestowed upon him, because that is a blatant untruth...But he's famous. Who cares if he lies?

However, your fame really doesn't grant you immortality. Plenty of famous people have died in the past. Just look at Julius Caesar, who I think is a brilliant model in this case. I mean, he was betrayed by someone he considered to be a friend--and you consider (or considered...whatever) Andrew to be a friend. That gives him power, power to overthrow you and stab you in the back right when you're not looking (which makes sense, if he stabs you in the back...unless you have eyes in the back of your head...which would just be creepy...).

And I resent that remark about my political experience. When have you ever had a title like mine? Never. Hero of Ages doesn't count. It was just a position you were elected to, and you can just as easily be unelected, with either Andrew's or Monsta's help. Me, however. My political experience is so much a part of me, that I don't need to be elected to office to be a politician. It's who I am. That makes me pretty good. Obviously...Since I'm a 'Good Politician' and all...

Me? I haven't deprived anyone of their rights.....I promise. Now, I won't make any promises as to the future, but up til now, there has been no deprivation. ;)

And fine. You can be my apprentice. I suppose. But just so you know, if you're my apprentice, you can't complain if I "deprive you of your rights." As my apprentice, your rights are mine to deprive you of....:P
