Unquestioned Ruler of the World

GrandMasterTerwynn · Post by **GrandMasterTerwynn** » 2003-11-05 05:41pm

Here's the scenario. One morning, you are awakened by a squad of men in black suits. They present you with a question that will affect the world for the next thirty years.

They want you to nominate any person to be the unquestioned ruler of Earth. It could be a historical figure, it could be a denizen of SD.net, it could even be you. The only catch being that you have to explain why you made the choice you did. Depending on the interest in the thread, the most popular nominees may or may not be voted on in a future poll.

Can it be a fictional person?

Me, of course.

I would nominate myself. I don't know the limitations of other people, but I do know those of myself. I would delegate all tasks to those who I felt were qualified, and I would have plenty of time to make those decisions. However, since this is a snap decision, I'd go for myself.

Based on the threads I've read so far, from SD.net I'd nominate Duchess of Zeon. She seems schooled in the classics, and has the will to straiten out many complicated problems. She seems to be pro-western civ. and not a societal/cultural relativist in political respects.

I'd choose myself, of course, but the first words out of my mouth would probably be something along the lines of 'Jesus Christ!'...

How do you figure that person will be 'unquestioned?' That's an extremely questionable situation, no matter who you nominate.

I'd pick me. Then I'd order everyone to go home and drink anti-freeze. Natural selection and its best.

As a sick, twisted sadist who desires to bring the maximum amount of suffering to the maximum amount of people, I would pick Shep.

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2003-11-05 08:49pm

Well, i would choose me, i just wouldn't trust anyone else with that kind of power.

VOTE SHEP FOR RULER OF THE WORLD!!!

Thomas Jefferson or George Washington. If it has to be someone alive, I'd pick me. Like Rye, I don't trust anyone else with that much power.

SyntaxVorlon · Post by **SyntaxVorlon** » 2003-11-05 09:33pm

If I had to choose between Shep and Cthulhu, I would say... Shep!
Ask me why.

Lord AKIRA the Enlightened, along with his lieutenant, Master Tetsuo Shima.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll remind us all how blacks prefer to have sex with whites, and apes prefer to have sex with blacks.

Keep the ivory-tower agrarian partisan racist prick out of world power, thank you.

Definitely not, having my penis hacked off does not appeal to me. I suggest doing a search for her policies on male castration, it ain't pretty. Don't know who I'd nominate, but it definitely won't be me unless I get to pick myself a small council and delegate everything to them. That way I'd only have to make a few token guest appearances a year and spend the rest of my time doing whatever I feel like doing.

I'm sorry, when did he say that?
