Anonymous Prodigy,
By showing your utter contempt and disrespect for the well-being of fellow members of CobraCards including the Chosen Ones,
By ruling as a despot, awarding promotions and ranks to those of the Chosen Ones whom you choose without consultation with other members of the Chosen Ones,
By revealing the secret vote of members (namely, elf lvr and myself), on including new members in the Chosen Ones, thus eliminating our right to a secret ballot,
By giving yourself veto power on the joining of new members, an issue decided by the Chosen Ones, a democracy not to be overrode by the Aftokrator,
By restricting the right to vote to those who have attained rank in the Chosen Ones, said rank being chosen by you, as aforementioned,
By demanding that the Chosen Ones mark themselves with a badge that all may know their rank or lack thereof, and thus using up room in the signature which could be put to better use,
By shutting down the Chosen Ones discussion thread where all can have their voices heard, and ordering all suggestions go through you,
You, Anonymous Prodigy have set yourself up as a tyrant, a despot of the Chosen Ones, one who puts his ideals before the ideals of the Chosen Ones, I, NBarden, Komis of the Chosen Ones, do hereby declare that as a tyrant, you have been removed of your position, lose the powers of Aftokrator and I hereby declare an election for a new Aftokrator,
One that will distribute promotions on a fair basis,
One that will keep our right to secret ballot,
One that does not abuse his veto power in the acceptance of new members,
One that allows the right to vote to all members of the Chosen Ones, by allowing all members the right to promotion,
One that gives the freedom of devoting their signature to other pursuits besides that of the Chosen Ones,
One that will allow the free discussion of matters concerning the Chosen Ones,
Thus said, I hereby nominate Dain Ironfoot for Aftokrator of the Chosen Ones, and call the Chosen Ones to vote to support my nomination.
So says Count NBarden, Defender of the Chosen Ones.
Long Live the Chosen Ones! |

A [solo] mutiny!
Hmmm... let us examine these claims, NB.

Given all of your reasons below, I guess I can see where you are coming from. Let’s keep going, though.

I got input from Dain a few times. Input is welcome from other members, though. Don’t be afraid of PMing me!

Ah, I admit my fault. I should not have done that, and I apologize.

Oh, do you mean having to be a Varonos to vote? That amendment was accepted by the Chosen Ones.

I agree with you here. That isn’t really necessary, and I shouldn’t be demanding something like that. Feel free to change your sig!

It was becoming filled with spam. Several times I asked something like, Let’s keep the spam in this thread to a minimum, shall we? and my requests were basically ignored. The thread was becoming a huge spam thread, rather than a business thread for the Chosen Ones.

According to Amendment 2, which was accepted by the Chosen Ones...
Amendment 2
The current Aftokrator may be removed from his office only by his resignation; or, by the unanimous vote of every member against his remaining the Aftokrator.
Hence, every member must be in favor of my removal from office for it to take place.

Like I said, the vote for me to be removed from office must be unanimous.

I like your spirit, NB.
Give me some feedback, members? Firstly, should I be removed from office? Secondly, what should I change? I highly value your opinion, so let me know!  |

Ah...man. It didn’t work.
It was a prank. SoP, Dain, and I were going to stage a coup and set up Dain Ironfoot as Aftokrator while you were gone and see your reaction when you came back. But it didn’t work...
Ask SoP. He thought of it. Why couldn’t you have been gone a little longer?
Still, some of the suggestions were legitimate. I think that all Chosen Ones should be able to vote, but new and untried CC members should be given a trial period in which they are not a Chosen Ones member, after the trial period, a vote is held, and if they join, they can vote. I was a little irritated by putting my name out as voting for giving Thranduil a trial period. Also, the rule that the Aftokrator can only be deposed by unanimity kinda shoots the whole thing in the foot. That means you can vote to keep yourself in. I think it should be 2/3 majority (in case you do do something very wrong).
IMO.
But anyway, it was just a prank. To bad you caught it before anyone else could post. |

My reaction? What was I supposed to do?
Alrighty, I’ll go ahead and state these things:
If you think somebody (besides yourself) deserves a promotion, please let me know.
All voters’ names will be kept secret.
If you don’t want your title in your sig, then by all means, remove it!
I will also edit Amendment 2 to say that a 2/3 majority must be required for me to be removed from office.
And NB, SoP, and Dain are demoted to Lower Than Mud (Lower Than Mud) for making me think I was going to be mutinied upon.
Good one, guys. Good one. Y’all had me worried...  |

If the members want it, the members shall get it.

Maybe we should set up a new rank system. Any thoughts?

IF NB is serious, I gladly accept. Not sure what other members would think about that, though. I wouldn’t say I’ve earned it more than anyone else.... |
