No votes for me as dictator. I'm not sure whether to be happy or offended. I'll take it as a compliment.

I think I'm not getting any votes because I'm not ruthless. I think that me and Eli have an absolutely gigantic advantage in the "pissing off the locals" category, though.

DinoDoc.

Hmm... I'm actually quite right-wing, I never thought about it at all. I support right-wing policies, I'm pro-American, I did believe that anti-war protesters were stupid, considering they didn't give any alternatives to an Iraqi war except for the already overused UN...

yep, I'd say I'm on the right side of the scale...

Check out the Government I'm putting togather on page two.

Incidently, the new officer uniforms will bear a stunning resemblance to that of Imperial Forces...

Did I win yet

When do I get to pack... I'm sure it'd be a great summer job. That'd look nice on a resume "Puppet Dictator of Iraq, Summer 2003".

What kind of Dictator would I be, if I didn't depose all the rest of you wannabes.

Maybe I'd keep Dino though, since he's the only one who knows the truth about substantive due process (inside joke).

Hey Lonestar, does it seem odd to you that the Lord Protector is a virtual-world personality named Lonestar but the Space Agency dude is a virtual-world personality named Mr. President?
