With all this talk of wars, politics, and diplomacy, the community has been making me feel very nostalgic these past few months. Even as a soldier of the Vatican, I don't do a great deal of fighting - at least, not the sort of fighting I used to do in the past. And I'm certainly not a politician here, or on Lisa's Earth.

In April, I asked how many of you remember my world. Not many of you did, of course; it's been a long time. Today, though, I have a different question: how many of you would consider yourselves to be a leader of something?

Are you not a leader because you recognize that you wouldn't be a good one, or is it just that nobody has allowed you into a position of power?

Bit of Column A, a little of Column B. I'd rather not lead anyone if I can help it, and no one is stupid enough to let me do so.

So thus, stalemate.

[embersandashes]

... You have more self-awareness than I would have expected.

[of_many_treasures]

I might act like a moron, but that's mostly to throw people off.

[embersandashes]

Are you trying to gain some sort of advantage over them, then?

[of_many_treasures]

Depends on the situation. Maybe sometimes, yes, but others I just throw people off their stride.

[embersandashes]

People call that "trolling".

[of_many_treasures]

Well yeah. That's basically what I do.
