Quote: Claire, May 2012Ah, but that was my work. Hence, as the builder of your belovedness and creator of the ETHOS, I SHOULD WIN. Face it, I could just ban you all right now and post away to myself in this thread for all eternity, but I don't. That's got to warrant some sort of reward, right?
You'd think so, but I'm incredibly persistent when it comes to things which don't really matter. Besides which, I started the thread and made clear that mod abilities are not allowed. As such, if you closed the thread or banned us all, your post would be invalidated and the person who posted right before you would be the winner.
And just to add to this, there are probably some rules to this game that I've forgotten. Therefore, if it looks like I'm going to lose, I will probably remember a rule that allows me to win.
Nobody can beat me at my own game. I will win. Straws may have 50,000 posts, Claire may have mod powers, Lisa may have magical editing skillz, The Doc may have the uncanny ability to revive the thread after months of inactivity... But I have something none of you have.... Something none of you will ever have....
Patience.
I am the man who spent months accumulating points on a Subway Card, not even registering for triple points... and when I had enough points, I cut up the card and destroyed it. That's how dedicated I can be to a cause.
You will not beat me. You can not beat me. You will not beat me. I know that was a repetition of the first one, but the point still stands.
Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.
