The Lightning Star

Hear ye hear ye, one and all! Now, you may think that this is just some sort of prank or whatnot, but I assure you it is not. Here is the truth, plain and simple: I am better than all of you. What's that you say? I am nothing but a lying communist freak? Ah, but that is where you are wrong. I am the best living human on Earth.

Why is that you say? Well, I have come up with a list for this very purpose:

List of reasons why The Lightning Star is the best
1. Because his name ownz
2. Because his REAL name ownz.
3. Because he's related to Jan III Sobieski, the savior of Western Civilization(Mr. Sobieski's mother has the same last-name. And Danilowicz isn't a common Polish name.)
4. Because he has an IQ of like... big number!
5. Because he says so.
6. Because he's been to more countries in the last 13 years than most of you have ever gone in your lives.
7. Because he is immensly popular.
8. Because he has conquered the world in Rise of Nations. 26 times.
9. Because he knows good music.
10. Because he speaks 2 languages (three if you count leet speak)
11. Because he has read The Lord of the Rings series, The Silmarillion, The Book of Unfinished Tales, the Book of Lost Tales I, the Book of Lost Tales II, every book in the Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow series, all but 3 books in the Redwall series, and alot of other book for people more than 2x his age.
12. Because he has a larger vocabulary than 70% of the people on these forums.
13. Because he can tell you the name of prominent Panamanian Politicians.
14. Because he can speak Panamanian Slang.
15. Because he's a rich, imperialistic gringo.
16. Because he plays Final Fantasy XI: Online and he ownz.
17. Because he can name every country in the world, and at least 90% of the worlds capitals.
18. Because when he grows up he's gonna be an ambassador and then a senator and then President of the United States.
19. Because when he's president he'll finally finish what Ethan Allen couldn't : Conquer Canada.
20. Because he likes pie.
21. Because he's better than Colodia.
22. He isn't named after a sucky day of the week.
23. He's very modest.
24. He is very charismatic.
25. He is a good politician.
26. He can whip a simple group of people into a frenzy with his voice and his vocabulary.
...

And the list goes on and on.

List of reasons why you should get over it:
1. It will make youe life easier to get used to.
2. It will make sure that when he becomes Empero--President of the United State's he will make your life a world of pain.
3. Because if you don't he shall smite you when he takes over heaven.
4. Because if you don't he'll bomb your house with Napalm when he becomes President of the United States.
5. Because the pie tells you so.

But movies don't start until I arrive, and start when I arrive and I always get a good seat no matter what the movie or the showing.

And weather almost always performs to my advantage. Even so much so that when I travel the weather where I go is just like the weather from where I've been until I've adjusted.

Certainly this puts me on par, since the whim and the whimsy of the world works for my benifit?

Ah, Tuche. But...

My voice can whip the average, unmotivated Joe into a frenzy. I can harness the power of the Human Spirit to overcome seemingly impossible odds. In less than 2 minutes, a can change the sway of an election with a single speech.

This puts me ahead, seeing how the Human Spirit seems to back me no matter what.

But-
I can lead people down illogical and illconcieved paths, even if I've done it to them before. People who otherwise are rational and reliable people will follow me no matter how stupid or ill planned my idea is. And inspire followings in people I've only met tangetially.

And cats, who are notoriously standoffish and self absorbed, love me.

HOWEVER- I can pit 60 Carthaginian Infantry agains 2300 British Warbands in Rome: Total War. And Win.. I can also create the perfect city in Sim City 4, as well as storm a nazi fortress singlehandedly in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: Breakthrough.

Think about this. The Sun is a star. Without the Sun, life on Earth would cease to exist. Why? Because without the Sun there is no light. No light, no plants. No plants, no oxygen. No Oxygen, no ozone. No ozone, no water. No water, no life. Will life go on without Tuesday? Yes.

Also, Lightning is a HUGE jolt of power. If you are hit by lightning, more likely than not you will fry. Will you fry if you are at the height of your work-week? Not unless you have a medical disorder or you commit suicide or someone kills you. Which isn't very often.

Now think of this: I have combined Pure power with the giver of life to us all, and thus have come up with the perfect name for my powerful nation.

Interesting....

I have defended whoeverthehellitwas I was supposed to be defending in Aero Fighters 2 with Steve and the Ninja and have seen the homerotic ending (I'm not kidding. It's worth the quarter drain to see it, you have to go through twice, but oh man) and have won the Anglo-American Cup in GT1 with the Aston Martin (I assure you that's a feat). I can play Ms. Pac Man with zenlike intensity. My Grand Theft Auto riots have been described as the 'Stuff of Legend.'

I once defended the honor of old school arcade etiquette by wiping five dollars in quarters from a kid on Samurai Showdown.

Like a living dowsers wand, I can discover the location of a burrito bar with pinpoint accuracy.

People I have never met remember me.

I have enslaved other gods with my great people in Black & White. I have beaten Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. I have beaten Paper Mario, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX. If you look up my real name on google. You will find at least 6 matches. To my father.

I should be King Of Everything.
As a matter of fact, I should be crowned King Of Everything right now.
But the fact is that it isn’t so.
Many of you will be asking “Why?”
Because the world is stupid, wont let me be a King Of Everything, something to do with democracy…
Oh, why should I be King Of Everything?
Why didn’t you just say that?!?

Well, here’s why.
And yes, I do realise almost everything I write is a list… shut up.

1. I am me.
2. I’m great.
3. I know everything. If I’m wrong about something, chances are that the thing is wrong in its place in the universe. Scum of a thing.
4. I have direction. I have purpose. I wont let little things like “human rights” or “human lives” or “the Geneva Convention” stand in my way of getting this world right.
5. I am the only person who really appreciates the idea of such power.
6. I’m great.
7. I know what is best for the world. Sure, some children might die or go blind or be maimed in the construction of my temp… er opulently appointed pala… er house and parliament thingy, but who cares? Damn kids, it’ll be good for them to learn the true meaning of hard work. And it would help toward the whole over population thing…

Need I say more?
Of course, yes, it’s never enough for you bastards, is it?
In being King Of Everything, I don’t mean anything in a sacrilegious way. God is the last person I want to write my name on his enemy list…. Who wants to mess with omnipotence? An idiot, that’s who.
Moving along, I would just want to be a King Of Everything in the regard of this puny little planet and its inhabitants. Ruling the world in a fair, humane and democratic order would be good… but it wouldn’t last forever, because undoubtedly some people would view my views as biased toward something or other somehow.
How to avoid this: become supreme ruler of the Earth, and despise and crush everyone under my might equally.
Christians: Have a church. Just don’t sing crummy old songs near my house. Oh, and I will tax an oppress you.
Muslims: Have a whatever you have thingy. Just don’t blow me up. I will tax an oppress you.
Jews: Have your Synagogue. Just don’t use Yiddish around me. It’s creepy, and I’ll know you’re mocking me. I will tax an oppress you.
Atheists: Have whatever. Your AA meetings for all I care, just don’t give me that high and mighty skeptic thing, because I am better than you, and it is irritating. I will tax an oppress you.
Agnostics: Be confused. Just shut the hell up. I will tax an oppress you.
Whatever else: Do stuff. Don’t do things that annoy me. I will tax an oppress you.

See? I am impartial in my oppression and unfair taking.
So, cast your votes, tell me you think I should be King Of Everything. And if you do something for me, or you can provide service, or you amuse me, just maybe I will favour you…
Just kidding, I will tax and oppress you.

. . . oops! That's not me. . .

You'll excuse me as I had to move to my 'secure location' as I am most assuredly considered a potential threat by the FBI (or so I believe) which is why I 'have no name'...and certainly if I am a threat there is the potentiality of greaterness.
