Well, I voted for Shorlen. Simply because I know him the best and have heard him talk about really wanting it... though I have joked about the good it would do to have Kaervas ascend - no more having to fight him! Yay! And no one comment on my weird choice for ascension... I doubt my support would do anyone any good, so 
and let there be peace... until, you know... all the random slaughter in contest for the staff.

Estarra said when I talked to her about all this that you'd only get limited mob possession occasionally for things you need for your plots and RP. (Though it'd increase as they trusted you more.)
Well, that makes sense. They wouldn't want someone who was in a basicly experimental position digging mobs into positions they shouldn't be in story-wise. But... once you proved you weren't the goof-off sort, you'd get more access.
But there'd be so many completely awesome things one could do as a God even without that! I mean... really! If they ever do it again... maybe by then I won't be so completely hopeless!

As far as I understand it, it's like you start off as like a level -100 admin god and slowly work your way up to being at the level of the admins as they trust you more. (Sarapis posted somewhere once about admin levels, I can't remember what he said exactly though.)
I'm packing as I type this- my fiance and I have had a major family emergency this morning (it's 8:30am here now), and I will not be attending the challenge or the ceremony. I'd actually be very much surprised if I'm here at all for the next few days, since we're leaving to drive across the state in about an hour. I wanted very, very much to participate... After all, I think very few people would not want the opportunity to take up a position purely devoted to roleplaying, and I was (am) no exception. It would not have been difficult for me to give up a character I'd played only for a brief time, but I know that the victor will be a worthy and competent Ascended God. I hope, as others have already mentioned, that the winner does not simply tire of their position and fade into obscurity, but remains a vital part of the game. All of the contestants have made their mark on the world already, and anything they do today will only add to their accolades. You all have my best wishes- Good luck saving the world!
I apologize profusely, and those who so very generously donated their credits to me will be repaid in full if I have to spend all my time weeviling to do so.

Maybe Mag will finally get a new leader I won' be able to attend, but I'll be interested in seeing who gets it in the end.

Old Kethuru was hopping around
The Basin of Life like a big playground
when suddenly Shorlen burst from the black
and hit Kethuru with a cudgel whack
Kethuru got pissed and began to troll
but didn't expect to be blocked by Soll
who proceeded to open up a can of guildhop
when Raja Exarius came out of his shop
and he started beating up Shorlen Mes'ard
then they both got flattened by the novice bard
but before she could make it back to the Bardcave
Daevos Feyranti popped out of his grave
and took an AK47 out from under his hat
and blew Hallen away with a rat-a-tat-tat
but he ran out of bullets and he ran away
because Shamarah came to save the day
this is the Ultimate Votedown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Votedown of Ultimate Destiny
Kethuru took a bite out of Shamarah's leg
like Kalas Ixion took a sip of his "keg"
old Keggy himself tried to attack
but Exarius jumped out and landed on his back
and Hallen was injured, and trying to get steady
when Daevos Feyranti came back with a machete
but suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped
Forren took him out with his aethership
then he saw Kethuru sneaking up from behind
and he reached for his staff which he just couldn't find
'cause Hallen stole it and he shot and he missed
and Kaervas deflected it with his fist
then he jumped in the air and did a somersault
while Daevos Feyranti tried to pole vault
onto Shamarah's head, but they collided in the air
then they both got hit by Amarysse's ly-air, oooh
this is the Ultimate Votedown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Votedown...
everyone gasped, pointed, and went "Dude!"
down from the heavens descended Roark in the nude
who delivered a kick which could shatter the code
into the crotch of Estarra for making him program the Ascension....mode
who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
as Shorlen gibbered and foamed, insane
but Someone saw this clever RP
and sent down a an evil duck zombie
then Viravain the Sickeningly Sweet and Viravain the Mad and
the Vernal Princess Marilynth's undead dad and
the Estelbar furrikin Yojimbo and
Xenthos and "Xenthos" and Marcalo
Ixion, Amaru, and Bakulao
Noola, Reiha, and every single alt of Bau
Narsrim and Munsia a team again
Ardak, Miakoda, Meleris, Brennan
all came out of no where lightning fast
and they kicked poor Roark and his naked ass
it was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw
with civilians looking on total awe
and the fight raged on for a century
many lives were claimed, but eventually
the champion stood, feared by Celest:
Ialie alone - truly the best!
this is the Ultimate Votedown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Votedown...
this is the Ultimate Votedown...
this is the Ultimate Votedown...
of Ultimate Destiny
*pant* The "Pwners of Chuck Norris" part was hard. >_<
Omg! I just saw that. That was awesome!

Yeah, I don't know if I didn't read that the first time or if I just forgot about it, but reading that (again or otherwise) was fun, gj Vix. 
umm, I'm changing my vote to Soll, for no particular reason
