Logging on today and seeing that a 27yr old got Mayor. Haven't been around in... forever.. But still..
Unless it's an alt. Then that explains everything. Which still makes me sad.

You know, on the past 40 posts I think that Gregori has posted twice that he's that alt

Because IC age is definitely the most clear indication of who's not an idiot.

Case in point, definately not an idiot. Right?



RIGHT?

Because IC age is IC age and would be a general indicator of political savvy, experience in a leadership position, etc., would be my guess. Given the wet t-shirt contest, thought provoking shouts, and the Fantastic Four-esque cries of "Flame On!", I'd say things are as could be expected.

Yup, things are as could be expected... Awesome!
Somaria2010-01-18 16:36:36
Yes, Urazial, and no, I don't mean that age should be the main determining factor.

It's more like.. I wouldn't elect a 15yr old to be president of the United States. I expect someone with background and leadership experience within their own territory to be elected into such a position...

And I can't be bothered to catch up on the latest gossip of who's who in Lusty.

Those don't exist in Gaudiguch and Hallifax anymore, though. The only two qualifying have been lost beyond time and space again.
Shaddus2010-01-18 16:51:12
I dunno, Kalin and Ixchilgal have been basically the leaders while Scuchi was gone. I'd say they have as much experience as anyone.

You people astonish me on a daily basis with how far your heads are up your asses. You just keep topping yourselves - it's remarkable! I haven't negatively impacted the game for so much as one individual, and yet all you sanctimonious sadists sit hunched over your keyboards drooling at every opportunity to drive me permanently from it.

Uh, and? Then I'd get camped there. At least here I can duck into a manse to refill the vials I keep emptying to fend off this karma curse.

Oh, you see what he did there?
Gregori2010-01-18 17:38:21
We were basically the only two leaders when Scuchi was around too. She listened to our advice quite often on things.

Kalin also set up the city defense clan, talked with Serenwilde about non-agression/trade, completed the epic quest and proceeded to help others and teach others...

The other three... I think they may have brought in 50 power at some time.

So yes, Kalin is young, but Kalin is also the only one who was actively and visibly working for the city.

... and it just dawned on me... why the hell am I justifying my character to SOMARIA???

why not commit Gregori to Gaudiguch? I know you are Vernal and all, but, that would also require a lot of balls and show that you were willing to exchange that for Gaudi

Because Gregori flat out hates the cities and on an OOC level I would feel like complete crap taking 1 million power from them like that. Going dormant on Gregori gives me the option of one day going back to him and playing again.


Edit:: I was also reminded that my name is not Talkan.
Unknown2010-01-18 20:32:32
I'm sure you felt like you were being a great 'leader' IC, and I'm sure plenty of others felt you were another alt butting in at every possible moment for attention. That's usually how those things pan out.

And you guys try playing a rogue Blacktalon with zero power and see how easy it is to kick ass. Call me a 'coward' all you want - Shuyin couldn't hurt the fly with the abilities I have at my disposal.
