“A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, WAR, WORKPLACE THEFT, AND TEXTING WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE EVERY CITIZEN'S VOICE SHOULD BE HEARD IN EVERY MOVIE THEATER IN THE COUNTRY. IF ELECTED, I VOW TO PUT AN END TO THE OLYMPICS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

MY ADMINISTRATION WILL RAISE TAXES ON SMALL BUSINE55 AND USE THE MONEY TO INSTALL A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE IN EVERY LIFEGUARD CHAIR IN THE COUNTRY. WE WILL MANUFACTURE AND SELL CRYSTAL METH, AND USE THE PROCEEDS TO GIVE TAX CREDITS TO ANYONE WHO PRACTICES MEDICINE WITHOUT A LICENSE. WE WILL ENGAGE IN MONEY-LAUNDERING, BUT ONLY TO SUPPORT TERRORISM.

EVERY DECISION IN MY ADMINISTRATION WILL BE MADE BY MAGIC EIGHT BALL. IF OUR COUNTRY IS INVADED, I WILL SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY.

VOTE FOR ME IF YOU LOVE HUNGER. VOTE FOR ME IF YOU HATE YOUR FRIENDS. AND IF YOU VOTE FOR ME, I PROMISE YOU THIS: EVERY ONE OF YOU WILL BE TWICE AS ATTRACTIVE AND HALF AS SMART.”

@Thaidakar the Ghostblood, you never did explain  why you nominated me that one time.

I did? 

I probably did it because I consider you a reasonable fellow with more smarts than I have, so you were, of course, the logical choice. Above that, you're a great guy.

Hm.

I don't know if I want to run, though...It seems like a lot of responsibility to be king of a thread.

*Shrug* A lot of responsibility? Doubt that, but you could make it that, all things considered, thus making it a bigger deal. All you have to do as king would be to sit around and say "Hey, guess what, I'm da king." and that's it.

lol

I wasn't say that is what I would do, there are plenty of things I would do. Namely, appoint people to do the more fulfilling part of the work for me, make the decisions I want to and tell people that they're free to do what they like.

yes. how do we do this brilliant plan? Is anyone we know going to the Spoiler Q&A at Dragonsteel instead of Shardblade duel?

I know how...

We send an email to the Intentionally blank email and give them one of those fake links. We can say it's one of the most brilliant food heists in the history of food heists.

or... if we have someone go to Spoiler Q&A then pull out their Ipad or phone and say something like, "I have the exact wording written down, it's important," then start the video. OR BOTH!

heheheh, I'm tempted to do it in a YouTube stream...

I'll like create a random google account to send the email and comment on the streams. I don't want my personal email being advertised.

'Sides, if they know my name, they may realize, in the future, when I hopefully publish someday, that a certain writer is the same person who rickrolled them long ago.

Like, if I arrive at a con as a writer on a panel with one of them (this is very presumptuous on my part, as you may realize) I'll be like "Hey... do you remember that one time someone sent you a rickroll on Intentionally Blank?"

Yes, yes it would be, and the Shard would be the first to hear of that ever happening. Even if I haven't been on in years, I'll hop on, ping you, and be like "Y'aaaaaall, I did it."
