Durandal. He's like a mini-Wong, and even though we don't see totally eye-to-eye politically, he's in favor of leagalizing marijuana and abolishing the income tax, which is enough for me. Plus, I figure if I support him for Emperor, I'll be part of his inner circle, and I can get some of his castoff poontang.

Yeah really. To be honest my second choice is a toss up between him and Stormbringer. And Durandal will havve LOTS of cast off poontang(not only is he the richest most powerful man in the world, but he also has te benifit of being DAMN sexy) :D

I still vote for Wong, minus the over-sized fanatic rants.

P.S. W00TAGE! JEDI COUNCIL MEMBER! To all those who thought I couldn't make it:

Look at me now sucka foo's! Soon enough I'll have a custom title, modship (Let me have my dreams, jackass!), and full flung control of the board.

Its only a matter of time I assure you, Da Gnomer shall cleanse this land of tall folk! Only the Gnomish Hordes shall triumph! Hail Gnomage! Hail Gnomage! HAIL! HAIL!!!

The Dutchess will give you six hour State of the Empire addresses, half of which would be in Latin and full of references to dead guys nobody's ever heard of. I'll give you cheap, abundant booze, drugs, hookers, firearms and lesbian porn. I think the choice is pretty clear.

:shock: :shock:


AAIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!



Anyway, to help Zaia, I would want to see the following as her advisors:


Wong - General advisor and head of Military R&D

Rob Wilson and Sea Skimmer - Military advisors

Alyrium Denryle, Durandal, and Duchess of Zeon - Chief Ambassadors

(The guy whose tax-handling office got burned down, forgot his name) - Treasurer

Yosemite Bear, Stormbringer, and His Divine Shadow - Public security

The Four Horsemen - Military Intelligence
What's her bust size!?

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!

I'll say. That and your self-slurping will provide for hours of entertainment. 8)

Who doesn't want a sexy emperor like me?
By the way, Shinova, I'd make a bad ambassador. As Mike once pointed out, my nickname is a ground-penetrating bomb.

By the way, Zaia wouldn't fill the "Emperor" role. She'd be an Empress. I think the best solution would be to have her and me split the role. Emperor Durandal and Empress Zaia.

Mmmmm...Empress Zaia has such a lovely ring to it. :twisted:

I'm not sure I'd be any good at that sort of thing, though. I'd be too busy helping people out instead of ruling with an iron fist or whatever.

Maybe it would be best to pair up with someone...*strokes chin* Hmmm... :wink: :D

Here's a question: If the ruling individual's spouse was of the same sex, what would that person be called? Emperor/Empress Consort?

I think I should point out now that the word "Imperator" is the Latin root of "Emperor". Just one more of my obvious qualifications.

It's also a class of Star Destroyers. You'll be a grand admiral if I'm Emperor.

That sounds like a nice consolation prize. I'll make you Minister of Public Morality if I'm Emperor.

The question remains of who's going to be Vice Emperor ... the guy who waits for the Emperor to die. :)

There shall be nine of them, and by law the remaining eight shall be put to death when one ascends to the throne. This should keep them stabbing each other rather than me.

Its jsut as well no one otes for me as I despise responsibility inherent with leadership. I think i'd rather have a cozy spot like Vader did, except trade in his ambition in exchange for a bigger flagship.
