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 dare to ask the question…
Should Gargantua become a moderator at AA.org? ;)
-
Can you say bull in a china shop? :evil:
-
Gar with that power! :-o
This site will be a lot more interesting
-
I’d rather be playing on Garg’s team than on the one against him.
So if you can’t beat 'em…
You’d better make sure your fighting on the same side! :-D
I would give you my vote but the poll is locked…
-
Thought I had been asleep for 5 weeks and it was Christmas!
Why not, you are reasonable. Hope it’s true. -
Censorship! :x

It wasn’t bait… it was FUN!
:(
1 yes vote in each column was all i needed for victory…
-
It seems 100% of voters want you in.
-
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

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 !
