You probably have viewing options set to only show each user's sig once per page.

That is exactly the case. It looks as if this is a new set of options, the 'Stuff to view' ones.

Yeah, you could use an unpopular leader to minimize the number of people calling for your head. Some users would likely consider you a useless troll in any case, though. It's a harsh world, alas.

Heehee, well remember, at that point I would just be trying to get banned though, so I could pick a popular world leader with high approval ratings. Wait, I forgot. There aren't any of those of which I know...

There's some interesting stuff going on there. The Epic of Gilgamesh was a good read, as is info about the Sumerians and the Akkadians, Sargon and such, and how the JudeoChristian "Guy out of the River" story was stolen right out of Akkadian legend of their great king.

Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa were fascinating Indus Valley city-states, what with their advanced plumbing and stuff. Amazing!

I'm amazed I followed any of that...

It's quite hard to be an evil idiot. Or, rather, it's quite hard to be a nevil idiot for long...

Depends on how competent your advisors are and whether you tend to force-choke those who displease you.

Neville Chamberlain was very close to being a "Nevil idiot" as you say. Oh come on, "Let's just give him the Sudetenland. I'm sure he'll stop if we just let him have the things he took that we told him not to, making it look like we're afraid. Appeasement is the answer!"

Just because he's evil doesn't mean he doesn't have preferences. Maybe he'd rather have puppy.

But it's the eating of the kitten that proves he's evil. If he wants, he could wait until the evil requirement was changed to puppy. Perhaps by lobbying. See, in my day, if you were really evil, you'd go up to some guy and smack him in the head.

I thought you wanted people to think it was funny, though.

Dammit, I thought you said you studied Mesopotamia!?!?

That's just the beneficial side-effect

Hey, I linked to a website that says nasty things about a political leader and the thread didn't close. Hurray!
