Napoleon abdicated today, the 11th April, 1814. He had been ruler of 70 million people, 30 million of them French, the rest Spanish, Belgian, Dutch, some Italian and German. He had also ruled parts of Poland and Yugoslavia. Then he attacked Russia. After the disaster that was Russia he was outnumbered two to one by a coalition of Austrian, Prussian, Russians and Swedes at the battle of Leipzig, losing this battle. This too had come after the loss of Spain to Wellington(June 1813).
On the 31st March 1814 the Allies entered Paris. His Generals persuaded him to abdicate in favour of his 3 year old son. His 10 year Empire had come to a close.
He tried to poison himself on the 12th, but ended up vomiting and not dying. On the 29th he was on his way to exile on Elba.
He would return.
*BELLS RINGING* THE TIME HAS COME!

I would love to see you as a Mod Garg. As for the poll being bait…… I can see how it could be viewed as that. But not as much baiting as a poll ranking of existing personal.
Actually, I’d love to be a moderator myself. Conversely, I am one lazy SOB and probably would not be as proactive as I should be.
-
I wasn’t referring to the poll, I was referring to the edit on Canuck’s post… The poll is fine.

-
If the poll is fine - why is it locked?!?! :P
-
No idea. Unlocked now, will check though. Might be a reason I am unaware of…

Well, Gar has been here a lot longer than most of us, he has lots of posts.
I think he should
-
1 yes vote in each column was all i needed for victory…
Survey says……Garg is in!
-
Nothing says victory than a 3 way tie for YES! :P
-
Looks like a 3 way tie for not enough electoral votes. Lucky for us you’re Canadian. Not only are you the PM but also the honourable opposition.
-
Yes won 3 times
When is going to be crowned? lol
-
Nothing, I don’t expect to be crowned :(
The 1% forever reserves the right to continue to ignore the masses at AA.org! lol…
-
Hmm….seems that “yes” is clearly ahead of “yes” in this poll…That means a lot !
-
when are you going to be promoted?
-
As soon as you each individually send Djensen a letter I’m sure!

Garg,
I respectfully abstained from voting as you yourself can check, “to protect the names and lives of the innocent”, and I simultaneously invoke the 5th amendment. And anything else I can, too.
I must admit, though,…you’re definately my favorite “villain”, and would probably be a great moderator. I’m only concerned that the job might either “mellow” you and you’re unusual since of humor(?),…or lead to your encarceration in Federal Prison for 2nd degree murder of some gamer asking a stupid question once too often(Grin).
I’ve come to recognize your “brand” of humor(?) when I see it, and I must say I look forward to it. Maybe I need to see a Doctor?

Well, since you like to fight the power, if you became the power, does that mean you’d have to fight yourself?

U-505,

I could be wrong, but Garg has probably been “fighting” the voices in his head for several years now(Grin).

I don’t doubt that. :lol: I think he likes to argue just for the sake of arguing. In all honesty, I can’t see this ending well.
-
U-505,
Ending? I hope not. I (almost) depend on Garg and his ideas/theories/opinions to ENTERTAIN me. I feel sorry for anyone who mistakenly might ever take Garg seriously in anything he says(Grin). I can only hope that this statement invites an encitefull retort by our favorite “villain”.
A&A FUN for everyone!

After meeting Garg in person, I can assure you he is a dichotomy, and a great dude. Certainly not the image one could mistakenly create after only reading a few of his posts without the greater context of that which is “Villainy”!
Do make me start creating new accounts so I can multi-vote. “Win if you can, lose if you must, but ALWAYS cheat!”. Always got a chuckle from that saying……
-
You wouldn’t be the first to set up a second account so as to vote for yourself.
Who is the real Lucas McCain?
Childish really.
Is dicktummy a Canadian word MrMalachiCrunch? (Wish your name were shorter!)
