So... Let me get this clear. The guardians are people who nominate themselves and are elected into the position of power to do whatever they want?

So if one were to want to take over, would that mean they would have to take them out in order to do so?

Absolutely not. The Guardians are people who are in charge of protecting their respective city, and all of Genessia when the situation calls for it. They don't get to "do whatever they want." It's a position of responsibility, not a position of power.

[At least that's how she looks at it.]

"Someone already tried recently, in some fashion. It didn't turn out too well for him."

[It was a disaster.]

[schrodingersghost]

Wow, that's not suspicious at all.

I won't vote for you!

...I actually, don't know. But that's messed up if it works that way. Glad I am not in politics.

Unfortunately, it is not that simple. If it were, I'm sure this place would have frequent battles for the Guardian's position. Which would certainly make this place more interesting.

yes

it is literally that simple

i suggest you try it immediately

hop to it, now

[icyheart]

Yes, but in that logic they 'do whatever they want' in terms of protection. Think outside the box instead of what they spoon feed you. If they thought it was for 'protection' they would be able to do it no questions asked.

Face it, it is a form of power they have over everyone here.

Well sadly, they weren't me.

[icyheart]

Was I trying to not be suspicious?

Didn't say I would nominate myself.

But the word guardian is probably just a pretty word for something else. Like dictator. They decide if your protected or not after all. They could decide one day that they don't want to help and it would be considered okay.

Well I guess it will be a fun test of my powers then.

I am confident though that I would win, so I wouldn't be worried at all.

I will try. Just not stupid enough to go head first.

Planning is key.

[azaleafae]

I can already tell that you are planning to abuse that power. The Guardians are not immune to punishment for that.

Do be careful. It would a shame if you were to fail just as that Cinder woman from the last paper did.

[There's probably some sarcasm in that text. Just a bit.]

I really haven't been here long enough to know. I don't think dictators have elections though I could be wrong - and wouldn't people just kick them out of office if they did a bad job?

"Well, if you think you can fare better than the last guy, go for it. It's preferable if you didn't, though. For your own benefit."

[schrodingersghost]

Most people try to be just a little less obvious than that.

Cinder who?

No and no.

Also I wouldn't advise any hostile takeovers.

Well they had to be once in order to get the power in the first place. It's just afterwards when they won't let go.

Unless they killed everyone else and forced themselves into power, which would be impressive. But never the less s dictator once in power is hard to get out of power.

[icyheart]

And do you think I care that people do? They are probably cowards who know they can't do anything.

[icyheart]

If you say so, I won't.

Please note I was being sarcastic.

[icyheart]

Abuse, claim what is rightfully theirs. Same thing just put in a pretty package.

Or what?

[azaleafae]

They are not the same, and you're too deluded for me to even explain why.
