Ok, if you could rule over one country in the modern or historic world, which would it be? No made up ones.

BONUS!*~: Tell what you would do with it.

:rolleyes:

Imperial britain or modern britain....pretty much the same thing under my rule anyway :p

Ireland. I would reunite the country.

Ireland. I would reunite the country.

i would gladly give back ireland...in fact i would give you a bit of wales to go with it....

The Earth.

Ha! The Earth! Good joke.
No really, the Universe!

Ha! No, truely... Does the Commonwealth counts as a country?

i would gladly give back ireland...in fact i would give you a bit of wales to go with it....

Nope, I'll pass on Whales, but might consider taking Alba (Scotland). :D

no sorry i need them....for bagpipes, kilts etc...oh and highlanders...whats a british batttlefeild without highlanders i ask....how about.....i give you....the isle of man...as an offer of good will

This isnt a land claim people. And whole countries only.

I would rule the ancient Babylonian empire, but make it more spirtual and Jewish.

Ireland. I would reunite the country.

Even though the majority of NI people don't want it? Nice imperialist attitude there, hum har.

I'd probably take Britain. What'd I do with it? Try and improve it. Strike at the endless bureaucracy, make sure the funds to the NHS don't go astray, abolish tuition fees. I wouldn't try to run the armed forces, but leave planning to the military. Try harder to enforce any anti-discrimination laws with REAL punishments for breaching them.

I would like to rule Rome at the height of its empire. With hindsight I would invade Mongolia and wipe out Ghengis Khan in his homeland.

Er, U.S. I wanna see what happens if I flip off the Republicans in Congress and everyone in the U.N.

If I could rule over an entire nation?

The United States, of course. I'd abolish all religious practices for a year just to piss the idiots off.

After that, I'd write a new constitution. This document would get the government out of people's lives almost completely (total civil liberty), completely separate church and state (NO religious references on government and public property, or in schools, for that matter), and would abolish the position of President.

Before destroying my position as dictator, I would set an iron law for taxation, based on level of income. The more you make, the more you pay. I would nationalise basic industries (this includes agriculture) and all utilities (I consider television and phone service utilities), and I would nationalise healthcare. I would also pass a law that eliminates the electoral college, and all elected officials have a term of one year, with the option to run for four more. And last, but not least, I would pass a bill that makes these laws unchangeable (what's the use of passing such laws if they're to be crushed when I step down?).

There's more, but I figure this is a good showing of what I would do in such a position.

wasnt it the vandals and visi-goths which had the biggist impact?...i am probably wrong

Japan in the 30s. I would make peace with the Americans. Probably convince a war against the USSR.

Mediaeval Moorish Spain - I'd make sure I was never surprised by the Spanish Inquisition

I would like to rule Rome at the height of its empire. With hindsight I would invade Mongolia and wipe out Ghengis Khan in his homeland.

1: Rome was at the height of its power from 128 A.D. to 180 A.D.

2: Ghengis Khan was from Medieval times.

3: If you're going to do something drastic as leader of Rome, send all your legions to Germania, along with hundreds of thousands of settlers.

well gee

tahiti

why not live in paradise? i dont know what their current problems are but i bet i could help them out with them.

wasnt it the vandals and visi-goths which had the biggist impact?...i am probably wrong

Your right. Genghis Khan didn’t come about until long after the Western Roman Empire had fallen. Also, the Vandals and Goths only began their movement westward because of the movements of Attila the Hun, who may or may not have been from central Asia.

Anyway I would want to rule the Byzantine Empire. I would forgo my own personal luxuries and give all my wealth to the people. They would love me so much for the unprecedented show of altruism that they would that only a complete moron would dare assassinate me. I would use my influence to severely curtail the rampant corruption of Constantinople, and would go to great lengths to keep the people informed.

When the West declares the Crusades I would not join them, as happened in real history, until the fourth that is, but would chastise them for pursuing war in the name of God. I would ally with the Muslims and as part of the alliance would get the, to agree to allow Christian pilgrims to visit their holy sights in the area. Once that is concluded, and the West continues its war effort, my well informed people will recognize this and pressure me to go to war against the cursed Latins. I would humbly adhere to the people‘s wishes.

Using my Muslim allies and my own fanatically devoted population, I would re-forge the Roman Empire in Europe. Italy, central Europe, France, Britain, all would fall to my armies. Spain, I would allow the Muslims to take. I would then continue to forge good relations with the Muslims, recognizing that that is the only way to continue my Empire forever. My last action before my death, would be do reorganize the Empire into a representative Democracy with a bill of rights and written constitution, as only I have enough foresight and wisdom to rule the huge Empire myself.

PS: I have no life.

no sorry i need them....for bagpipes, kilts etc...oh and highlanders...whats a british batttlefeild without highlanders i ask....how about.....i give you....the isle of man...as an offer of good will

Agreed. We have a pact, and I promise a reunited Ireland and the Isle of Man will not invade any British territory.

wasnt it the vandals and visi-goths which had the biggist impact?...i am probably wrong

You have it correct.

Even though the majority of NI people don't want it? Nice imperialist attitude there, hum har.

Sure, my rules remember. After all, I would be the Ard Re of Ireland.

(Game Geek)

I would like to rule the Roman Empire, preferably during Diocletianus' rule. I would slowly make it a republic again, abolish slavery, attempt to close the gap between rich and poor and try to make the conquered true citizens of Rome to make them more loyal to Rome. Of course I would also end the persecution of Christians and end the worshipping of dead emperors as gods.

I wouldn't divide the empire into 2 like Diocletianus did, but keep it completely intact and try to stop it from collapsing. Perhaps I would be able to recruit more troops by allowing the poor to join the army without having to pay for their own equipment. Once Rome is stable and fairly out of danger again, provided I can actually get that done, I would continue the conquest of the world.

Like, you mean, after you'd totally changed your military system to one capable of overruning the Germans during their semi-nomadic agricultural phase, then driven all the way through the countless Slav tribes, and the various Turco-Mongolian populations of Central Asia, and then the Yakouts and their ilk, and then the Chinese, and then you'd have to find a way of conquering nomads with no attachment whatsoever to the land-all that to prevent some guy being born 700 years after your empire would otherwise collapse? wow.

Its so refreshing to meet someone with a great knowledge of Byzantium. If you are referring to the Byzantine empire of the time of the Crusades, you would have had to join them, as it was the Emperor Alexius I who called on the pope for them. They would not have occured without the Byzantines.
Of course, there were instances when the Byzantines used crusading forces to their own advantage, as they did during the siege of Nicaea. By the time of the crusades also, the empire was not especially big, but was quite powerful. At the time of the crusades, the corruption in the city was not as much of a problem as it was, say, at the time of Justinian or Anastasius I, when the chariot-racing factions controlled the city.

I would be emperor of the Hittites, and win the Cold War against Egypt.

No, I said I would like to take control of Rome at the height of power. Then go to Mongolia(Steppes) to crush them before they even get a chance to get going. Ghengis Khan was from approx the 4th century. Which in my opinion wasnt the Medievel times. The Eastren and Westren Roman Empires were still around when Ghengis made his first forays into Eastren Europe.

The Germania solution you suggested. Yes that would be one of the things I did.

No Ghengis was not around in the 4th century. I'm not sure where you heard that. Perhaps you mean Attila the Hun? He was

It wouldn't be to bad to rule the US and well, make it "my little perfect world":)

If you want to march on Mongolia, you have to go through Eastern Gauls (Pontus Euxinus), many German tribes, Huns, and Chinese protectorates.

No. I think the most fascinating thing would have been a cold war between Rome and China. There's enough distance between both empires for a cold war to develop.

Historical records show a puzzling account: contact has been made between imperial Rome and imperial China, briefly, during the 3rd century. But none of the empires thought much of the other, so they just didn't establish anything serious. They probably both thought that the other empire was a puny barbarian state of some sorts; they didn't have a clue about the rest of the world, because they were too self-centered (Rome was basically conquering the Mediterranea; China thought it was the center of the world).

History went in a differently direction, however: Rome went into a long and protracted war agains Persia, that lasted centuries, and it drained lots of resources on both sides. Roman emperor Valerian was even captured by the Persians. Not very good for the morale of the troops.

No Ghengis was not around in the 4th century. I'm not sure where you heard that. Perhaps you mean Attila the Hun? He was

Sorry thats who i was thinking of. My mistake.

Sorry thats who i was thinking of. My mistake.

No its an easy mistake to make. Very similar civilisations

France, during the renaissance bien sûr. :p

The US, obviously, since they're the most powerful.

I would rename the country "Republic of America" and change it from a federation to a unitary State, change the outdated common law to civil law. The entire law, including the new Constitution, would be codified in one book (the lean Code of the Republic as opposed to the gargantuan USC). The law would be simple and hard to change so that people would know it and feel secure about it. People who testify will take the oath on a copy of the Code and (along with treason) perjury will be the only offense punishable by death. Maybe a Church of America will be created based on the Mormons, with the President of the Republic also being President of the Church. That would rock.

I would reinstate the draft in order to have the manpower necessary for an imperialistic policy, based on destroying totalitarian regimes wherever they may be: the oil monarchies, Iran, North Korea, and furthering American interests abroad with politics and "the continuation of politics by other means." American citizens would feel secure all over the world because rapid intervention groups would be on watch all over the world to rescue them if they were attacked/held hostage (see Operation Entebbe (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Entebbe)) Like in the ancient Meditteranean world where anyone who said "civus romanus sum" was feared and respected, all over the world anyone who says "I am an American citizen" will be.

Welcome to the third millenium.

Canada, because it's a big nation and I can speak one of the two main languages.

Once ruler of Canada, I'm stealing Alaska and then making the US my bitch.

erin and alba before the romans came. the celts were cool.

Really? Hmm. Didn’t know that, but I bet the greed of the Italian merchants would have gotten the better of them eventually. If not, good relations with the Muslims, including religious tolerance, would probably have allowed Byzantium to last much longer than it did. Oh yeah, I forgot to add, that shortly after my rule was instated I would slowly distance the civil government from the Eastern Orthodox Church. Some of those Patriarchs would have never allowed religious tolerance of any kind.

Maybe a Church of America will be created based on the Mormons, with the President of the Republic also being President of the Church. That would rock.

:eek: *Runs away and hides.*

Russia or China.

A lot of stuff for "ethically challenged scientific researchers" to do in those places.

I'd wanna be a Samurai Lord in Fuedal Japan

Canada. I'd give all the American corporations the boot, tear up all trade agreements, strengthen the military by a thousandfold and concetrate on protection/defense, especially of our natural resources. When the US complained, I'd just cut the electricity and water supply to the eastern and western seaboards of the US. If yopu can't play nice, you can't share our resources.

I'd make all natural resources a public concern, with every citizen a shareholder and having a proportional vote to decide how best to use our precious natural resources. I'd tell Quebec Seperatists they have only two choices: Complete Soverienity and Independence, no shared currenmcy or ANYTHING, and they'd have to take on their share of the national debt. Their other choice: Shut the fuck up and start working with us rather than against us. A full referendum on the issue would be held, and it would be the final word on this issue until the end of time. I'd also fiecely protect all our Nautical borders. Any American or Soviet sub or military ship traversing the Arctic Ocean without permission would be blown out of the water..no warning shots, no just shoot first and ask questions later.

Any Non-Canadian ship found to be illegaly fishing in Canada's waters or even close to them would be boarded and scuttled, the crews sent packing back home. Any resistance would be met with zero tolkerance. Bomb the boats and feed the fish.

Once soveriegnity had been strongly established in terms of borders and national resorces, I would begin a program where Canada would share its vast natural wealth with less advantaged countries, gratis, and set-up a fair trading facility whereby devolpoed nations would share each each others resorces on an exchange basis of both raw materials and manufactured goods.

Oh, and I'd kidnap Stephen Harper and have the word LOSER tattooed in big letters all over his body, just in case there are people who haven't already figured that out for themselves. I'd aslo tell the Royals to get stuffed.

Yes, I'm sick of living in wimpy fucking country that has NO good reason to be so.

Before destroying my position as dictator, I would set an iron law for taxation, based on level of income. The more you make, the more you pay. I would nationalise basic industries (this includes agriculture) and all utilities (I consider television and phone service utilities), and I would nationalise healthcare. I would also pass a law that eliminates the electoral college, and all elected officials have a term of one year, with the option to run for four more. And last, but not least, I would pass a bill that makes these laws unchangeable (what's the use of passing such laws if they're to be crushed when I step down?).

There's more, but I figure this is a good showing of what I would do in such a position.



um i think they tried a good number of those things in the USSR....and that turned out so well...thank you Joseph Stallin Jr.

I'd make Washington State it's own Country. Then I would make sure that it's a 100% Christian Nation.

Switzerland, Bavaria, Norway and West Germany would be other places I wouldn't mind running either..... under a Christian Theocracy, of course.

Modern France.

Historical nation? I'd probably say Rome. Prevent it from falling, wait a few thousand years, and laugh at everyone else. Conquer America for a private backyard, and use the Pacific as my own personal paddling pool.

Ok, if you could rule over one country in the modern or historic world, which would it be? No made up ones.

BONUS!*~: Tell what you would do with it.

:rolleyes:
USSR, conqure the fucking world of course. Then make it illegal to make stupid fucking threads about homosexuality. That and enstate marital law and make the death penalty the only punishment for hanis crime, no four year waiting period, nope, 7 days that's how long, one week, then your dead.

Terraform mars and colonize it, than terraform titan (one of jupiters moons) and colonize it. Hell colonize every possible planet and create thousands of space colonies. Yep those are my plans, and I'll be remembered as the Unifier, Explorer, and the Colonizer. Yep oh and have one son and three daughters. I always wanted three daighters and one son.

The USA. First week in office would be spent on withdrawing all the US forces and allies out of the middle east, warning Israel of Imminent nuclear attack, so all their citizens can get protected etc
then firing nukes at Syria, Iran, Arabia, Jordan, Libya and Eygpt.
Then nukes at North Korea, and Japan, after warning South Korea and China.
Then more nukes at any Islamic republics in former Soviet Union, then nukes on Haiti, Cuba and Colombia.
The rest of the year would be spent giving aid to casulties amongst our allies, or neutral countrys, and mopping up any Islamic reistance world wide with all non nuclear force.
Also would declare open season for a year on all homosexuals and other deviants, with a bounty of $50 ahead.
God bless America.

I would rule the ancient Babylonian empire, but make it more spirtual and Jewish.

What was Jewish about the ancient Babylonian empire??
Perhaps you mean the ancient Kingdom of Israel?

I wouldn't mind Poland, as it would be easier to force my authoritarian, repressive ideals upon the people… but it's not very powerful. Imperial Britain would be nice, I could run the fuzzy-wuzzies… I mean empire… properly. Of course, I could always go back to the early Irish years, and fortify them against the evil English… choices, choices!

God bless America. Truly is it said "he who wishes to rule the world is unsuited to the job".

God bless Poland, Ireland and Britain.

As someone else said eariler, I too would take over Rome in the time of Diocleatian. First I would probably pass some of the same reforms he did such as making all goods have one universail and permanet price, I would still divide the Empire into Western and Eastern Empires but with the Western Roman Empire as the primary Empire(the one I would rule from) and I would set my brother in the east fo manegment pourpeses(although I would still, be the supreme ruler). As for the army, I would rebiuld the mighty leigons to their former glory, and I would reinforce hadirians wall in Brition, and amass an army to invade Germania to finish them once and for all. After finishing Germania I would work on the social side of things, I would eliminate taxes on the poor and solders, and massively increase taxes on the rich and clergy, thus gaining major support among the people, but loseing support among the rich. Also, I would end slavery, but condemed prisioners would have to become gladiors instead of just being executed. As for economics I would slowly strive tward a communist economy(in which people do their jobs in exchange for others doing theirs, there is no money). As for politics I would COMPLETLEY seprate church and state and make religious institutions pay taxes, and I would have some reforms that would be enacted upon my death includeing Emperors would be elected by the people to serve life-long terms(evert time one died thered be an election) and senators would be elected every 5 years. But before I dies I would erect a MASSIVE(but not to big) monument in Rome dedicated to all those who served, or currenrly derved in the service of the Roman Empire. Then when I died I would heve my ashes placed in a large crypt(kind of like Napoleon's tomb) in Rome, for all to see.

Imperial Brittain, or the USSR(I just love the KGB).

I would encourage science in order to be de most advanced country(I mean, Empire) in the world. Education should be a must(like in Cuba). People will live freely but the political affairs will be only mine, because I'm the Government.

Natural "drugs" like alcohol, marijuana and mushrooms will be allowed on small dosages, however, anyone who gets caught using Artificial drugs lik ecocain or heroine will be executed. Police enforcement will be at it's best(thanks to our science) and justice will be the rule.

Rapists, however, will be castrated as soon as they are found guilty.

The Isle of Man.

The USA. First week in office would be spent on withdrawing all the US forces and allies out of the middle east, warning Israel of Imminent nuclear attack, so all their citizens can get protected etc

God bless America.

where do i sign to vote you into dicatator-for-life??!! finally someone who understands we need to annihlate those animals in the middle east and take all their oil

You people dont realize its not countries anymore, just corporations.

I would be the Grand PooPah of Microsoft, then buy McDonalds, then buy Pepsi. Then I would rule as a god-on-Earth.

Romania,before the EU, beacuse i would be the richest

Rule Qing China right after the great Kangxi emperor. Reform the entire Confucian government, economic and social system and modernise before the Brits come do it for us with guns.

where do i sign to vote you into dicatator-for-life??!! finally someone who understands we need to annihlate those animals in the middle east and take all their oil

How would you take their oil if you just nuked it?

Imperial China (that's after the Mongols)

alright what country would i run? the USA of course!

as soon as i got into office i would change the constitution so i would have a life long term. next i owuld install a universal draft for men AND women, and men AND women would be sent to the front lines in a war and men AND women would die on the front lines. no more af this feminist bullsh!t about wanting equality in the military but when it gets to the point when they might die they suddendly dont want equality. next i would build a 50 ft high wall all around our borders, set up 24 hour snipers on it, and place landmines all around the border. lets see the illegals get through that. next i would find the illegals in our country, strip them of all the non existant rights the liberals gave to them and deport their asses to siberia. next i would ban the use of any language but english, and roman catholicism is the national religion (although their is a seperation of church and state). all forms of protestism are outlawed. no excptions. islam is outlawed. jews are the only other religion allowed in the nation. socialism, anarc!sm, communism, libertarianism, and syndicalism are outlawed. atheism is outlawed and punishable by 5 years in jail and $10,000 fine. soccr is the national sport, football is outlawed. next congress and the supreme court will be eliminated, and all power comes to me. social security and all forms of welfare are eliminated. the free market economy is only allowed inside of the government, meaning extremely heavy State involvment in the economy. almost everything is nationalized except for healthcare. if you can afford higher healthcare, then its all yours, if you cant afford a basic dental plan, too bad for you, dont breath on me with your bad breath. the State gives every citizen a test to decide where they will work for the rest of their lives. all colleges and universities are influenced by the government and no longer teach liberalism to our students, but teach unbiased pro-State in their fields. pop, rap, opera, and country music are outlawed, replaced instead by heavy metal. hollywood is destroyed. the clintons, the kennedys, mike moore, everyone in hollywood, everyone in the ACLU, everyone in the NAACP, and everyone in the NOW or in groups like these are hung for treason and their groups outlawed. all members of are castr@ted and then burned alive for their despicable acts against yound children. all abortion is outlawed, and anyone found administering or recieving it is shot. affirmative action is outlawed and punishable by $500,000 fine. all groups such as the Klan and the Black Panthers are outlawed. their will be equality in my nation.

there is more, but i think you get the idea. my country would be a pure, equal nation. liberalism will be shown to be the mental disorder it is and eliminated like the pestulance it is. ALL POWER TO THE STATE!!

Imperial China (that's after the Mongols)

The Ming Dynasty?

How would you take their oil if you just nuked it?

you go in with the entire military shoved into one country. you destroy everything in sight. take all the oil. eliminated all who try and stop you, both in that country, in outher countries, and at home. once all the oil is ours, then we nuke them back to the stone age...which now that i think about it would be an upgrade for most of them. oh how i detest the vermin in the middle east who call themselves human.

erin and alba before the romans came. the celts were cool.
Ah, the dittoness.

Though I'd rather live there in that time than rule. And I'm thinking more Cornwall than up-country. It's like France, but better.

Or if I couldn't have Cornwall, I'd have Northern France in the same era. Yay for Gaul!

The Ming Dynasty?

Yep. :)

Although the Qing dynasty wasn't too bad early, then went downhill after a few good emperors.

modern china
after having transfered all money from dollars to euros money in the us will have lost its power and there will be a giant crisis in that mothaf* country. With all the military power the middle east will be taken and its oil for the industries in china, money will be illegal after all in the chinese empire, and every person that can work will work for the use of society. religion will be free to use if people like i will not care ;) anyway every intolerant person (doesnt matter if racist or religional fanatic) will be executed.people will have the right to inform their selfs and to "buy" anything they like even drugs, muslimic man wont take more than one woman and none muslimic woman will be opressed (women and men are equal), the enviroment will be protected as it has to be. every nation that choses to join the chinese empire will be recognized as a full member(people have to choose not the goverment). after all nations joined the empire will be called peoples world :)

you go in with the entire military shoved into one country. you destroy everything in sight. take all the oil. eliminated all who try and stop you, both in that country, in outher countries, and at home. once all the oil is ours, then we nuke them back to the stone age...which now that i think about it would be an upgrade for most of them. oh how i detest the vermin in the middle east who call themselves human.

"Once the oil is ours"

That'll be a couple hundred years then... during which time you'll have to contend with insurgents wanting their country back, and neighbours with nuclear weapons and a target within range...

I think it'd be far easier to develop an anti-arab biological agent and release it secretly, that way noone can blame you for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people and come searching for your head.

I bet the US already has an anti-arab virus.

Yep. :)

Although the Qing dynasty wasn't too bad early, then went downhill after a few good emperors.

I may have been descended from the Ming emperors! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

So happy to know!

Qatar/Bahrain/UAE. Mainly cos I've always wanted a money fight.

I would have most wanted to rule the Soviet Union at any point after the war and would have attempted to develop it into a modern democratic socialist nation free from the Stalinist bureaucracy and state control which was ultimately responsible for its collapse.

Brazil

No need to justify really is there. The babes, the beaches, the food, the weather, the resources.

What would I do. Get rid of the government (too corrupt) change from roman law to British style common law (That would straighten a lot out). Tax the banks and major companies and invest in infrastructure and education. Normally I am opposed to taxation, but there is some payback due for the excessive corporate welfare that has ruled here for the last century.

Aztec Empire,
considering that I know better, I would have Coranado killed as soon as he landed!

I'd rule the USSR after Lenin and then make the Congress of Soviets a democratically elected legislative body and keep it that way.

And Stalin would be the one with an ice-pick in his head, not Trotsky.

Napoleonic France or the Soviet Union after krushchev

I'd rule the USSR after Lenin and then make the Congress of Soviets a democratically elected legislative body and keep it that way.

And Stalin would be the one with an ice-pick in his head, not Trotsky. I've wanted to do that many a time… can I join the legislative body and vie for leadership?

I would rule the US, now. What would I do. Well for my first action I would spin around in the chair in the oval office for a full day. Than at night I would prank call world leaders.

Than getting serious I would start trade with Cuba again. And as my hero shot, I would be shaking hands with Fidel Castro while smoking a fine Cuban cigar. Than the red states would flame me for being a commie until I reminded them that they were in fact RED states. Than Id be an even bigger hero when I would convince castro to stop being communist. Than together Castro and I would prank call every leader in world. I would than write a book titled "Castro & Me!" Which would be a childrens novel about how even YOU can stop a flaring communist.

Brazil

No need to justify really is there. The babes, the beaches, the food, the weather, the resources.

What would I do. Get rid of the government (too corrupt) change from roman law to British style common law (That would straighten a lot out). Tax the banks and major companies and invest in infrastructure and education. Normally I am opposed to taxation, but there is some payback due for the excessive corporate welfare that has ruled here for the last century.

Could you send Castro and me some Marbel from Uba Tuba? I here Brazilian marbel from Uba Tuba is excellent. And if you would so please, Brazil, Cuba, and the US would form a powerful triple alliance to show the world that all the Americas can rule everything!

See the above post #74 on how Castro would work with us.

I would rule over the Holy Roman Empire at the time of Charles V.

The U.S. in 1945. I'd nuke the Soviets.

Provided that your bombers could reach any signifigant targets before being taken down by soviet airforces? Provided you could nuke them enough before they took over all of western europe, and left you with no air bases except africa and britain?

It annoys me when people think they could magically get away with things if they became ruler of a nation.

The country of the future, The US and the UK united with a very conservative governemnt, then we would take over "Europe"

UK and US as... One country..? *twitchity twitch twitch twich* NOT IN MY LIFETIME!
