RB City, the Pest Control Company of Roach-Busters

Today, Generalissimo J.L. has announced, in a controversial, unexpected, hotly-debated, highly publicized statement that he is uncertain whether he should retain his trademark title of 'Generalissimo,' or adopt a new one. When inquired as to what other options there were, Generalissimo J.L. proposed the following ideas:

Shah
King
Emperor
Lord
Sultan

"Or," he added, with a vague shrug and a peculiar smile, "I could always go back to being called 'President,' and pretend I run a democracy."

Hearty, hysterical laughter ensued after his remark.

Meanwhile, millions rush to the polls to determine what their deeply revered leader will be called.

I'd go with Lord. That why, the Shoobans will be able to properly address their national leader.

OOC: I was wondering how J.L. got out...I thought he was caught or something...can I be filled in...I have trouble following it all. I know that I am not a part of it, but I would like to know whats up..please.

(OOC: The whole charade was cancelled. Long, long story.)

(OOC: And yes, the poll results will determine the outcome.)

Titles are irrelevant. It is what one does with the power one wields which determines how they will be looked upon in history.

OOC: Who, pray tell, has ignored the war? Sarzonia may have done, but I most certainly have not, nor have Artitsa, Hamptonshire or Pacitalia to my knowledge.

OOC: Lord! Go for Lord.

OOC: I have.
OOC: Then, assuming no one else in the RP has, the war still exists. Sarzonia just doesnt recognise it.

Anyway, I picked Other: The late JL.

You should take up "Grand Master" and change the official name of your country to "Ordo Roach-Busterus". That way, your leader can introduce himself as "J.L., Grand Master of the Ordo Roach-Busterus". Wouldnt that be cool?

P.S. what does J.L. stand for?

OOC: Then, assuming no one else in the RP has, the war still exists. Sarzonia just doesnt recognise it.

Anyway, I picked Other: The late JL.OOC: Pacitalia is pretty close to ignoring it as well.

I'd say Shah or Shahanshah (King of Kings) I use both titles.

-Shah Khosru III

Emperor! Because.... Because emperors are cool? Heh.

-Foreign Affairs



OOC: So, the war was cancelled because Sarzonia is ignoring it?

We wouldn't have it any other way than Generalissimo. Keep it, or RABIDDONKEYSWILLKICKURARSEKKTHXBAI

aw come on, go with Grand Master! Its so commanding, nobody would dare have different opinions than you!

J.L. should keep the title Generalissimo.

Keep Generalissimo, as a nation who has helped you through so much, I COMMAND IT!!!

-Chancellor Licinius/The late emperor Bhalk

Titles mean nothing in your case. You are still a cold, heartless, oppressive, misogynist dinosaur relic of the age of the dynasty, and your views and leadership are not needed in a progressive world such as we have today. I vote Other, and say President, but I would rather see you not leading your country as it is today.

Nikos Karagounis
Prime Minister of Pacitalia

OOC: Pacitalia is pretty close to ignoring it as well.

OOC: Well, since it was locked, I have no choice anyway - I was planning on ignoring it though, so no big deal.

The Council of Twelve has vote to keep your title at Generalissimo. And we wish to trade embassy with the your great nation.

OOC: I have to say that Im bloody annoyed with RB and his incessant "pushing the envelope" of what we will allow until he gets himself ignored and ruins an RP that both Generic Empire and I hoped would become an enjoyable ongoing storyline. If RB has ignored the war too, RB gets to be the first nation I add to my Jolt Ignore List.

P.S. what does J.L. stand for?

My initials, Josh Latimer.

Please keep your OOC rants out of my thread. Thanks.

Praetonia, I just warned you here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8457666&postcount=16). In addition to your comments there, posting about adding someone to your ignore list is also considered flaming. It's time to end this, now.

(OOC: You should name him President or keep the current name. The others are too royal for J.L. :P)

Well, it looks like the people have spoken. I shall retain the title Generalissimo.

The Council of Twelve wishs to trade embassies with the your great nation. You can have your embassy built in Bucharest. Get back to us ASAP.

That would be excellent. I would be delighted to exchange embassies, my friend.

That’s good. An embassy is waiting for your people on Embassy Avenue. A picture on it is being sent with this message. It has 50 rooms and a huge meeting hall. A helipad in the back yard and it sits on 20 acres of land. Send your people ASAP. We will have a group on the next plane to R-B in a little bit.

They're on their way as we speak.

How about...
Asshole-who-should-be-killed? He's a pawn of the Occupying Forces in our opinion. We don't think highly of him.

-Generalissimo J.L.

Good. They will be treated better than a VIP.

GS, you need to keep up. The war never happened and the Occupying Powers are no longer in RB.

Oh. Okay, then. That clears up a LOT of things. I still think he should be removed, though.

I support him, so don't bother.

I don't like dictators that much. Too hard to work with. Now, one way a dictatorship WOULD work is if you had kind of like a binary system. Have a regualr democracy be working on its own and have a dictator have teh final say. If they do something he doesn't like, he can denounce it.

And don't tell me what to think.

OOC: Karagounis agrees. Former Prime Minister Ell and J.L. were amazingly good friends, but Karagounis doesn't trust him one bit, and is racist in that he doesn't really like Roach-Busterians.

Generalissimo was a cool title. The one thing wrong with it is that 'issimo' always seemed to me to mean 'little' as in 'little general.' Maybe it does. Maybe it's just me. Probably it's just me.

On the other hand, King, Emperor, etc...don't sound right. I'd stick with Generalissimo. We all know you that way, unless you really want to change it.


You are still a cold, heartless, oppressive, misogynist dinosaur relic of the age of the dynasty,

Dude, what the heck are you talking about? Have you seen his wife, man?

Congrats, Generalissimo.....keep the name, there aren't enough these days.

OOC: If you see, I actually posted that before you warned me the first time, but ok, I'll stop and just quietly ignore him (note that this, like my other posts I've been warned for, isn't intended to flame, just to make a point / state a fact - I'll edit this and the other posts if you want).
