Posters of ATT, it is time we choose a king. A king of ATT. But not a normal king. No, we, as ATT, must elect a king.
There will be no poll. People will simply throw in their votes.

Duties of the king of ATT:
Get elected.

Things the king of ATT gets to do:
Say he's the king of ATT.

That is all. Cast your votes. I vote for mrxak.

Kings aren't elected. They're appointed. By God. And ours was. And his name is Laguna.

But we're the ATT. We don't do things normally.

I say that trash can behind me should be king.

What does that make SA?

-Pufer

Ssssh. I'm trying to be an éminence grise.

Every King needs a Queen. Cast your votes.

Every king should have a jester. We should have jester elections!

We're all jesters, you fool!

Then the jesters should have a king. We should have king elections!

Great idea!

The "democratically" "elected" SA "government" is a front created to preserve the illusion of individual agency while maintaining the hierarchical systems of oppression that have shackled the denizens of ATT for the better part of the last decade. Only the naive believe that meaningful change can be effected through such a puppet.

Yes, but what if the puppet revolts?

Stop trying so hard. Please.

Sounds like puppet talk to me.

I always thought of SA and Laguna as the dictators that keep us in our place. Well, SA is more of a sheriff, holding to the rules. Laguna is simply more of an executioner.

Whatever our system is, it works.

It's a guillotine.

Yes, everything is making sense now...
We can't have a king unless the king has a guillotine! So we need to elect the guillotine first.

I nominate Laguna.

I move to break the sexism of monarchy and nominate myself.

-Veccy

I would stop if I were you.

ATT is like a villiage full of people more or less living at their own will within a kind of biosphere. What makes this interesting is that, outside that biosphere are the ever powerful spectres of SA and Laguna, and when they are not pleased by denziens of their artificial world, they strike with sound, loving justice to return order to their people.

But if were going to have a king, were going to need a castle.
Lets nominate a castle first.

I nominate this one.


I my first order of business will be to exile you. I kid, I kid. But, seriously. I don't think he knows who I am?

I don't know who he is, but at least he likes ReBoot, so he can't be all that bad. I think.

Excellent idea everyone. We do need a castle. And vecoriwen's find will work perfectly. But it must be reinforced and plated with steel and titanium. We must mount QLBT and EBT batteries on it. We will also need Hellhound missile and EMP torpedo silos. We will supply it with 5 Federation Carrier shield generators, 8 Rebel viper bays, and 4 Anaconda bays.
So it's perfect. That will be the castle.

But we also need a nearby garrison for the defense fleet in case someone attacks our biosphere...
Okay, our next order of business is to elect the garrison.

You don't know who Eragas is, or you don't know who I am?

We don't know Eragas. You're the guy that wants to solve smog with Ionic Breezes.

I think he's probably directing that post to Spongeyboy.

I nominate Bill Gates.

I nominate Taylor Vaughan. <3

Thanks babe.
But I'm really more of an anarchist than a monarchist.

I second this nomination!

No, no, no! We're electing the garrison first! And you don't nominate a king, you just vote for him! We can't be made orderly enough to nominate! That's not what ATT is about! (to my knowledge) That's why the grammar nazi elections were FAIL!

Why do we even need a frackin' king? The only denizens here are jesters anyway. I feel that establishing a monarchy is a step backward in the Land of Trash Talk and would be beyond pointless. We seem to be faring rather well on the system of anarchy that we have going here.

Besides, we already have The Squid.

YES!!!!! The SQUID!!!!

I had forgotten the SQUID!

*Gasp!*

The Squid is never forgotten! All Hail!

-Veccy

You don't get it, do you? How could we possibly take a step backwards in ATT? The king doesn't really have power. I made that perfectly clear. He/she just gets to claim to be the king (yes, if you are a she, you are still the king, if elected).

We don't need a king. But we don't need the extra text options either. But they are good for us, like chicken fingers. And a king will serve his insignificant purpose in ATT, and will represent the citizens of ATT (us) when dealing with the citizens of the other boards (also us). If we want to look significant in our eyes, we must have a king! And squids can not be kings! Octopuses, but not squids.

Now back to electing the garrison.

Get the ###### out of here right now. You've just insulted the squid and messed up the plural of octopus in the same post. I'm no veteran of ATT, but even I know when to stop.

Word to the wise - never mess with anything that has more arms than you do.

I nominate the duck! The famous CASTLE DUCK!

You do not nominate! You only vote!

And fine everyone, the squid can be a king. I would just prefer it be a member.

Sponge Tom, who the hell do you think you are?
Bargin' in here and telling everyone what to do...seriously.

*giggle*

I nominate Sponge Tom to be put in the stockade. And I nominate the rest of us to throw rotten produce at him.

-Veccy

I vote that we put Sponge Tom in the stockade.

Let's get him!

What is this thread still doing relatively close to the topic?





Octopuses, octopii, and octopodes are actually all acceptable plurals. I'm partial to octopodes, myself.

Spongey thinks he's the king! Get him!

That's it! We need to elect a stockade too! Ok, we'll get to that right after the garrison. I vote for this one. http://garrison-michigan.army.mil/sites/local/.
I just google searched army garrison and that was at the top.



I don't think I'm the king, I'm just maintaining disorder as we attempt to find one.

Disorder can handle itself just fine thank you.

Hah, he's trying to divert our attention to the stockade election, aye? I've already got a stockade, as it happens, and I'm a goin' to use it on him! Just keep 'im from squirmin' for a little bit, will ya?

Tehehe... Nice catch there.
