I declare this an octocracy

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:11 pm

There can be only 8 octocrats, obviously. I’m one. Who are the other 7?

(It’s first come first served, that’s a key rule in this octocracy.)

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:11 pm

Clearly me as well

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:12 pm

Lol no time wasted

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:16 pm

It is the most pressing of matters! Yes even more than fluffing

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:24 pm

2 seats of the octocracy are filled. Who are the remaining 6??

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:27 pm

Are there even six active people?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:42 pm

Look do you want to be an octocrat or don’t you

Vibing_V · Post by **Vibing_V** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:56 pm

I will join so long as I can be lazy and not do anything.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 7:36 pm

You sound like an ideal octocrat, welcome!

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 12:53 am

Now that I have made arrangements to insulate my investments from the impact of decisions made I look forward to our future works.

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 12:57 am

oh, and i claim the eight seat, regardless of ordering. as per my birthright.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:18 am

Welcome, octocrat eightman.

Half of our seats are now octopied.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:00 am

I'm definitely an octocrat. Eightman is clearly our chief.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:22 am

I'll be the 9th member.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:07 pm

You’ve joined as our 6th member but will carry the honorary title of 9th member.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:59 pm

Just hand him the 6 placard upside down. Only one more. Unless there's actually 9. Who will it be? RDM, Mitsurugi, Dude_Man, or an unforeseen dark horse?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 3:21 pm

No there are two more, Cid hasn’t joined. Better get on that, Cid!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 3:50 pm

To be clear, the octocrats so far:

1. Fei Ayanami
2. WaWard
3. Vibing_V
8. eightman
4. Lord Golbez
9. Damien
5.
7.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:18 pm

Ah. He has to actively declare himself.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:25 pm

Wait how is Damien an octocrat? He’s super anti octo!

This octocracy is a sham!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:26 pm

Every ruling body needs someone specifically there to throw a monkey wrench in making any kind of progress. That's Damien. He's so subversive to the octocrat way, he doesn't even go by a proper octo base number.

Dude_Man · Post by **Dude_Man** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:08 pm

WELP. I'm here.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:10 pm

We've established that such ambiguous statements are insufficient to join the octocracy.

Dude_Man · Post by **Dude_Man** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:17 pm

LET ME INTO THE OCTOCRACY DAMMIT

Not like there's a ton of options.

Dude_Man · Post by **Dude_Man** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:18 pm

In fact, I should probably be the 5th and 7th members, since I'm T H I C C

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:28 pm

u good Dude_Man, but only as one octocrat.

Who’s the last???

Dude_Man · Post by **Dude_Man** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:44 pm

You could just choose someone you'll definitely never hear from and assign their power to yourself. I nominate BioCrimson, something something FEAR and HATE.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 5:46 pm

Screw BioCrimson, he can come here himself if he wants to be an octocrat!

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:35 pm

does that undo the screw? or does the screw remain even upon joining?

Damien needs a couple more sixes. Otherwise the pizza boy will be confused.

I suppose he's a pizza man now. the times keep changing.

thanks grampa. i've always looked up to you and the way you've navigated the twisty corridors of time travel. you've shown me that the walls are only strong as the deficiency of your will.

That was precisely the lesson I meant for you to take away, I can die of covid in peace now

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:17 pm

GRANDFATHER NOOOOO.

No seriously don't. You need to go back and bone grandma.

Or bone grandma and send her back. You've never really explained how that was sorted.
