  Villian Campaign!

  I've just started up this really neat idea in the Story Union. We are hosting the first ever, multi-union election! Confused? Don't worry! I'll explain!

  What we are doing is selecting a number of villians (e.g. Vader, Voldemort, Sauron, Cthulu, etc.) and selecting volunteers to act as their "Campaign Manager." The Campaign Manager (CM for short) has to go around Gamespot (or TV.com or MP3.com) and get as many people as they can to vote for their villian. To vote the people just send the referee, currently me, a PM with the subject title being who they are voting for and the referee just marks down how many voted for a certain character. The coolest trick of all is that this election (game?) takes place all over Gamespot so that it affects all unions!

  An example of this: I am the Campaign Manager for Cthulu. I let the people in charge at the Story Union know that I am entering Cthulu into the race and that I will be the CM for him. I then go to the Main Forum board and post an ad telling people about what the union is doing and how Cthulu is the best villian around. I also post in my blog what we are doing and ask people to vote for him by telling them to PM Wheezal, the referee. I then go to the other unions that I am a part of, (The Halo Wars Union, The Star Wars Expanded Universe Union, just to name a few.) and post a topic telling people of what I am trying to do and asking them to vote for Cthulu. I ask meetroid8, a tagger I know, to make a Cthulu tag that links to my blog or post explaining what I'm doing. I ask Kellymae if she or I can tell people about this in her blog. While I'm posting about my idea at the Unifying Force Union, I run into Xaphi1 or Darth_Arbiter, my opponents in this campaign, and we talk about our characters in a debate topic, comparing what the villians have done, would do, or just how they are. Finally, after a month or two of campaigning, Wheezal, the referee, declares the campaign over and tallies the score. After tallying the score, he posts a message on the Story Union's main page, telling everyone the winner. I tell everyone who contributed to my effort who won, and we celebrate or plot for the next election. (There is also a possibility that, if I remain the referee, I will PM everyone who voted, telling them who won.)

  What do you think? If you're interested, join the Story Union and sign up to be a Villian's Campaign Manager. If you don't want to do that, then just keep your eyes open for someone campaigning for your favorite villian.

  Happy Hanukah, er... Christmas!

  Happy Holidays!

  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to celebrate my holidays with my family very much due to being spred out. In case ya'll didn't know, I'm Jewish, so I've already started my holidays. In the meantime, we traded out gifts and have been celebrating. My brother and sister have come down and will be visiting for 10 days till my mom comes to visit and the family will be reunited again. However, due to the holidays, I will NOT be online as much and will be missing for large amounts of time unfortunately.

  I also want to remind people that January 3rd, 8:00 PM GMT is Perihelion 2007. So don't forget to welcome back the sun, no matter where you are.

  Til then, Peace, Death, and World Domination...

  To return to life!!!

  Jeez! It's been a long time since I really did much on Gamespot! I found this Star Wars RPG recently called the Star Wars Combine. It's pretty cool, but it's also real time, making doing certain stuff, rather difficult.

  My family got together for Thanksgiving. Because my mom is such a Destroy All Humans fan, we rented the sequel for her. We also rented the Lego Star Wars game for my brother and I, though I played the Destroy All Humans2! game more. Actually, right before we returned it, I defeated the Destroy All Humans! sequel. It was really cute.

  Otherwise, I actually don't know what to say, so till next time.

  Peace, Destruction, and World Domination.
