My evil plot to create a monster, force someone to eat Sonic food, and then claim rulership of the universe is complete!
Don't blame me for my wild ambition! Haven't you once or twice dreamed of holding complete control of the universe? I have only chosen to take the life which is rightfully mine! Also, I may have been drinking a little.
As the new supreme rule of the universe, I have some edicts to make!
First, I solemnly swear not to set any of my loyal subjects on fire unless they really really really really really need it.
Second, all planned elections will continue as usual and all leaders will work autonomously unless I disagree with their decisions, in which case they'll be... uh... shot out of a cannon into the sun. I'm not a micromanager, but I do recognize quality work!
Third, there will at any time be at least five Brainiac 5 threads on the Legion World messageboards, possibly including series discussion, fanfiction, fanart, or polls. And I will respond to every single little bitty post, whether I have something to say or not! Unless it's, like, a Onevision, then I'll just PM in response to them all.
Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, cupcakes for everyone!!

Thanks for not setting me on fire. I'd hate to have scorched cupcakes. Posted by Mearl Dox on :
No problem!
Yes, there will be much enjoyment of non-scorched cupcakes with me as ruler.
Posted by dedman on :
what kind of cupcakes?......it makes a difference you know.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Well, what kind of cupcakes do you like? I'm a flexible supreme ruler.
Posted by dedman on :
chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate frosting on top
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
That can certainly be arranged!
Want any chocolate sprinkles on the frosting?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
This sounds like a Supreme Ruler agenda I could live with. Will there be ice cream with the cup cakes? I hope we don't have to paint our skin green. But December 31st (isn't that B5's birthday?) should definitely be a galactic holiday.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Oh, by the way, Madame Supreme Ruler - could you do something about global climate change and the impending economic collapse? Thanks so much.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
It's permitted to obtain ice cream to eat with your cupcakes if you so desire, but ice cream will not be officially provided.
Dying your skin green is also not required, but for those citizens who understandably desire to do so, large tubs of green dye will be set up in the center of most cities. Skinnydipping in them is encouraged. Cameras will be banned in the vicinity.
December 30th, actually! The holiday for this will be merged somewhat with the similar celebrations around that time of year for Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, and the Earth New Year.
It is hoped that this transition period towards my Supreme Rulership of All will go smoothly and not disturb the lifestyle of the average citizen of the Universe. Therefore, to avoid confusion and 'jarring' the local culture, I will allow you to continue your traditions of environmental destruction and shaky economic policy.
Posted by Yellow Kid on :
Sounds just peachy to me. You're not going to raise taxes on Supervillian accessory shops or anything like that are you? (not that we pay many taxes any way - supervillians are notorious for falsifying their tax returns)
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Certainly not, sir! After all, I suppose there might be those who call my mad grab for power "villainous"... of course, those people are fools! Fools who will be crushed under a sea of unbelievably delicious cupcakes and moderate policy!
Besides, yellow is just some blue away from being one of my favorite colors.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Why waste perfectly good cupcakes in that manner when you can just shoot people into the sun?
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
I hate to imply that my supreme overlordship might be lacking in funds, for this is certainly not the case. But baking cupcakes for people is a lot cheaper than shooting them into the sun. Therefore, as a gesture of respect to those governments who will be paying extremely nominal tithes to me, I will attempt to save money whenever possible, and the sun-shooting technique will only be used as a last resort.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Mearl, can you make a special cupcake that will be my heart's desire for cupcakes at whatever moment I decide to eat it? I mean, you are the smartest person in the universe, and you now rule it, so I don't think this should be a problem. But if it is, why not take some time to figure it out?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Cupcakes? I'm in!
I can also feed people to my lions if you so desire--my favorite thing to do during a coup d'tat!
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Ferroboy -- how about I just give you cupcakes laced with LSD? You'll soon find they're the cupcakes of your dreams! Also, your vivid flashbacks.
Cobalt Kid -- although I don't yet have anyone ready for lion-feeding, as soon as I find myself in possession of someone who needs to be fed to lions, you'll be the first person I come to for assistance!

Excellent! In the meantime, I'll just pull up a chair and eat cupcakes while you take over!

Yahoo! I'm sure pleased to hear that you won't be oppressing any of my...um...our supervillian clientel. That's a relief.
In your Supreme Rulership's honor I'll ask my good buddy Gay Green Giant to design a special memorial cupcake accessory pouch.
...umm..is it ok if the pouch explodes or shoots a death ray or grants one evil wish or eminates a mind control vibration or something equally villianous? 3G does have a reputation for superior quality in designer equipment to be used for nefarious purposes to maintain.
Just checking.

Play your cards right, ferroboy, and you could be the next Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Not that I'm suggesting a palace revolution or anything - but there may be term limits on Supreme Rulerness. It's always wise to be forward thinking.

You know what makes you feel better after a hard day of drinking and debauching? Cupcakes!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Methinks Mearl is setting herself up to run for LW leader, a position even more powerful than Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
The cupcakes/drinking & debuachery combo is one taught to me by the grandmaster of disorderly conduct himself, LardLad! Excellent suggestion Mearl, and another reason why you make a great supreme ruler!
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
The position of LW Leader is a vaunted and respectable one, but one has to actually campaign to get people to vote for you, and you don't get the right to shoot people into the sun if the situation seems to call for it.
Then again, it seems to take a lot less baking.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
As Supreme Ruler, can't you sub-contract the baking job?
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
I still like to wander through the bakeries to check on how the cupcakes are going, to monitor cleanliness standards, and to 'test' the product before it is unleashed on my adoring public.

Dear Supreme Ruler of the Universe,
As your omnipotence knows I live faraway from Legion World and visit on an ad hoc basis as my super crime fighting of space duties (and the commuter traffic) allows.
My super secret hideaway (or Horace as he likes to be called) has recently developed very bad indigestion which has led to a number of unfortunate incidents as he creates a few more interstellar gas clouds than the maps show. It seems as if he has been eating things that disagree with him, and upon further investigation (and let me tell you, you don’t want to go crawling around them Jeffries tubes without a full NCB suit) things which apparently disagree with you as well, like this small annoying white monkey which I am returning to you with pleasure.
Horace is now having a whale of a time playing fetch with all these rejects and is stopping them from landing in the sun. His jumping around is also making me spill my port which is most definitely not cricket old chap.
Can I please therefore ask you to re aim your cannon away from its current trajectory to point towards say the Orion arm of the Galaxy. This will allow me to gain some peace and quiet and stop the gaseous problems Horace is currently suffering from. Although I will admit the Koko’s Head Nebula is a rather attractive green colour
Must dash me little megalomaniac, worlds to save, place’s to be and all that.
Pip pip old chap.
Faraway Lad
PS Hope to finally meet you at the Ambassadors Christmas bash, I’ll be the one standing at the other end of the room tucking into the Figgie pudding.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
After much careful consideration, I've made the decision to alter the cannon-firing process. As a gesture of good-will to the space traffic in the busy near-Earth area, all future planned cannon-firees will be shipped to the Coluan system, and will be fired into Colu's sun, at times scheduled with the anticipated local traffic kept in mind. Although this will cause me to unfortunately miss the sight of the cannon firing, it will retain symbolic importance and I will still feel the event very close to my heart. All cannon firings will be recorded for my later viewing pleasure, and possibly to splice together into a "Best Of" video.
Also, Cobalt Kid, please feed the remains of Koko to your lions, or something.
Posted by dedman on :
Excuse me magnicifent one, but perhaps we could use Koko to lure the hero MONKEY-EATER LAD to our cause. I'm sure with such a delicious looking monkey as incentive he will come to join your cause as well. oh, ummm and any cupcakes left?

Now that Mearl has become Supreme Ruler of the Universe and everyone looks cuter, will they finally catch up to those of us with an uber-hot fashion sense?
*tee hee*
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Your leader has been trapped in a miasma of IRL. My apologies! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I have no intention of spreading out beyond cupcakes, as I feel that focusing on one thing and doing it really well is for the best. I built this empire on cupcakes, and I have no intention changing what worked! But white chocolate macadamia nut cupcakes are definitely available to those who wish them.
I won't stop you from wrestling each other nude in ice cream, of course. But it won't be a state-sponsored event. And please don't do it on my lawn.
As for my fellow Coluans, while I prefer a laissez-faire approach to the economics of the worlds I oversee, I guess I could donate some of my old equipment to those in need. After all, being a supreme leader is busy, and it's hard to find time to experiment.
And my dear Space Tart, you can be in my cabinet as the leader of the Department of Tartiness.

Wife? Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Supreme Ruler, will you be hosting (hostessing?) a holiday open house for all your devoted subjects? And what kind of house does a Supreme Ruler inhabit?
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
An ongoing celebration for both the holidays and my new rule sounds like a splendid idea! Since Chanukah has already begun, the celebrations will begin immediately, and not cease until the day of the Earth New Year has ended!
There will be mildly alcoholic beverages, mostly wines and fruit-flavored concoctions. Naturally, plenty of kono juice will be available! A variety of cupcakes will be provided, and just for this holiday, I will also obtain some ice cream and a few pies! Most notably lemon, pecan, blueberry, apple, pluberry, and chocolate. Please do not wrestle in the ice cream or the pies while on the premises.
For those who desire more savoury fare, there will be jalapeno poppers. You know, those little half-jalapenos filled with cheese and covered in batter and fried. I love those things. Ranch, blue cheese, and sweet raspberry dipping sauces will be available for those. You can also use the dipping sauces for the cupcakes if you like, but I strongly recommend against it!
However, this will be held on my lawn, not inside my house. The interior of my house itself is too splendid to be described, but the outside is done in the finest tradition of Coluan architecture--shiny, shiny metal, with a few Coluan females in robes sculpted into the sides. It's huge. In the suburbs outside of Metropolis. It's at 15505 Supreme Ruler Lane. You can't miss it.
I'm thinking of commanding a band to play for some of the days of the celebration. Any requests?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I once had a flat on Supreme Ruler Lane, when I helped Lash take over the world two months ago. They're very nice!
For the band--how about something indie rock, like "My third body got killed by a robot in Touston" or "Holy Supergirl Robot!" I love those bands!
Wine coolers will be fine, but I'll probably add some grain alcohol and spanish fly in mine...

The term "robot" is offensive to those of us who are Alternatively Sentient.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I was unaware of this culturally taboo. I wonder if the band "Holy Supergirl Robot!" knows this? They do like to push the boundaries and might be intentionally trying to upset the public.
Since I'm currently involved in a serious relationship with my own Supergirl robot (with Spacey!), I'm concerned about these things...

Be more careful in the future, flesh monkey. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Ironically, flesh monkey is *not* offensive to us Ggrrggrians. The more sensitive sissy-boys, like the Earthlings, might find this offensive.

Supreme Ruler, I can't help but notice that the landscaping around your abode is quite exotic. Was this set up by that botanist ancestor of yours, or is it something more recent?
Not often we get to see a Ggrrggrian Barbed Wire Tree, in full bloom yet! Most impressive.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
It was mostly here when I moved in. I thought it was pretty nice, and did have an air of 'supreme ruler' about it, so I decided not to bulldoze it.
I suppose I should have an official gardener, though...
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
I think Dedman would fill the bill.
He talks a lot about lighting up weeds so he must know something about gardening.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
What if he tries smoking up the plants in my garden?
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
No cupcakes for him, then.
On the plus side, you'll find out how exotic those plants really are.
Posted by dedman on :
Legionworld Gardener eh?...well that would be interesting.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Although I do now own all worlds in a sense, I was thinking more of gardening just the patch of land my palace sits on.
Very well! You will be my gardener, but be careful, some of the plants may be toxic or man-eating.
Posted by ferroboy on :
That's what makes this the perfect job for dedman! He tends to resurrect. OTOH, he'd be perfect as cannon fodder in the event of a rebellion.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
So maybe we should clone him a few hundred times so he can double as the Palace Guard.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
I'm not sure I want to have dedman (or clones of dedman) as my palace guard if he's going to be eating the LSD-laced cupcakes and smoking things he finds on the palace grounds.
Besides, I already have a palace guard. Robots! Giant, invisible robots which shoot invisible flames from their mouths.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
OK.
So maybe we clone him a few hundred times just for kicks.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
.... well, this is supposed to be a time of partying...
Dedman! Present yourself for cloning! Bring your DNA with you!
Posted by ferroboy on :
He he he! See, this is why I'm part of Mearl's cabinet!

I'm not saying they're Giant Invisible Robotic Lesbian Supergirl Robots that shoot invisible flames from their mouths, but I'm not saying they aren't, either.
I went ahead and got the cloning vats all ready, and dedman's wussing out on me?! Oh well. Anyone else want some clones done?

Oooh. As long as you're already got the vat out could you whip up one of me so it can go to work and I can stay here and post?!? I've always wanted my own worker-drone.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Maybe we should clone my collection of lions, in case we ever feel the need to execute more prisoners?
Just a thought...
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
I'd be happy to, Loser Lad, but he'd probably have the same work ethic as you. You'd have to arm wrestle each other to decide who has to go to work.
Well... having a few spare lions around can't hurt!
Posted by Loser Lad on :
If he's my clone I'm sure it wouldn't take too long to come up with enough incriminating photographic evidence to compel him to go to work every night like a good little worker-drone...
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
I'm just saying, you wanna make sure you don't want to give your clone reason to rise against you. Eventually you two will be locked in a death struggle, and Cobie'll be off to the side with a blaster going "I don't know which one to shoot! They look the same!!!" and we'll have to try to come up with a question only the REAL Loser Lad would know, not realizing the clone obviously would know it too if he's implanted with all your memories... and you'll have to finally both be killed by being stamped to death by a giant invisible guard robot, so your evil clone won't be able to take over the whole universe or anything eeeevil like that. *cough*
So, I'll give you your clone! But please take turns with him or something, lest we have to stomp you to death with robots.
Posted by Loser Lad on :
Hmmm. Never thought about the whole "clone uprising against his master" scenario. Being stamped to death by a giant invisible guard robot *would* suck, but on the other hand I wouldn't mind getting a few nights off of work. I guess I'll have to learn to take turns.
Promise not to let my evil clone try to take over the Universe. At least not until you're done with it your Highness!
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Me?!
He's your genetic offspring! You're responsible for him!
But if he does try to conquer the universe or something evil, I assure you, he will be stopped!

Oh believe me, I take full responsibility for my clone. I'm just saying that should you ever relinquish control of the Universe (not that any of us ever wish for that, but maybe some day you'll grow bored with it or something), who am I to stand in my evil clone's way should he try to step in and assume Supreme Rulership.
Until then, I and my clone promise to be good, loyal subjects (so long as the cupcakes hold out).
Posted by Lad Boy on :
Do clones get a full ration of cupcakes?
Posted by ferroboy on :
No, because clones are expendable. Cupcakes are only for the important Legionnaires! As a member of Mearl's cabinet, I have a full supply. Posted by ferroboy on :
Mearl, I'll have some clones, but I want *programmable memories*. I don't want anyone else thinking my thoughts. How else can I use them as decoys for assassination attempts?

Sure thing, Lad Boy. In fact, I'll give it some "personal" programming. Then again, you never know if you're getting the clone or the real thing.
Oh, and don't listen to Viv. I'm one of a kind - which is why my clones will have to settle for being second best.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Hey hey hey! Ferroboy, I give cupcakes to all my subjects, including the clones! If you treat your clones as expendable, they may rise up against you and take your place... better keep them sedated and slow with cupcakes!
Posted by ferroboy on :
Are the cupcakes what I use to program them? Remember, I want them subservient to me. Clones (at least mine) should NOT be equals!
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Hey, man, what you do with your clones is up to you!
I'm just warning you, I've seen it happen before. You think you've got your clone under control, when wham! Disaster strikes!
And, uh, I can include the programming in the cupcakes, but be careful not to eat those particular cupcakes in that case.

Gotcha, Mearl! But if I do go around acting like a bizarro, you'll know why.

Great idea, Cobie! In fact, this is clearly a matter of national security and is therefore our job to make happen. Let's get to it! Just make sure the clone lions also get the chip. You never know when those lions will form a pride to turn against their masters.

I've always heard it credited to Asimov too. Funny stuff.

The Supreme Ruler marketplace appears to be expanding. Did you get yourself trademarked? And what about a copyright on that cupcake recipe? I sure wouldn't want to be munching on any black market baked goods!
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
I haven't trademarked myself. Actually, most of all I've done is declare myself Supreme Ruler and shoot people into suns. I suppose that other people might attempt to do the same, but they will fail, since they are not the Supreme Ruler and I clearly am.
And there's a variety of cupcake recipes being utilized at the moment. Since the cupcakes are distributed for free, there's little motivation for anyone to attempt to steal the recipes and sell them.

As Supreme Ruler, I order you all to have a merry Christmas! Or other holiday celebration, if you prefer.

Mearl, I'm a little shocked that we haven't invented a new December holiday in over 1000 years! We've got Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and Kwanzaa, but that's only four days! (Yeah, some of them are technically more than one day, but we'll just stick with the prime day.) That leaves 27 days of December untouched by holidays! Sure, there's "Bill of Rights" day, but being US-centric, it's likely not around when the US is no longer its own nation. What holidays would have been invented in the 1000 Year Gap? We could always move the celebration of your birthday to December. After all, it worked for the Christians!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Martin Van Buren Day is December 5.
St. Nicholas Day is December 6.
December 10 is Mearl Dox Day.
December 26 is Boxing Day, for those Brits among us.
December 31, besides being NYE, is also Caroline's birthday, if memory serves.
That still leaves 22 days for ferro to plot new holidays.

Simple answer to this one folks. wor Lizzie (HRH QE II for the uninitated) has two birthdays, her real one and an official one when all the pomp and ceremony takes place. Merle can simply decree a date in December to be her offical birthdy and all us loyal subjects will celebrate with out usual excess. Posted by ferroboy on :
Kent has informed us that December 10 is Mearl Dox Day, so I guess that will do the trick. Hmm...I'm going to have to spend some time filling out at least a few of the remaining 22 days.
Perhaps 12/29 could be Legion Reborn Day?

If she says, "don't jump in the lake," (in "Do not do this," the "this" equates to "jump in the lake"), and you DON'T jump in the lake ( "this" is not done - to do "this" you would jump in the lake), you get rewards.
But no reward if you DO "this" and jump in the lake.

But no reward if you DO "this" and jump in the lake.
But the deed must be done in order to get to the "do not do this" stage, as we saw with the example you set earlier.
Technically, she is not saying "do not do this", but "do not do this anymore". Big difference, and one that can lead to extreme donutty goodness.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
All of those who obey the rules can have donuts, cupcakes, but those who do not obey the rules can not have donuts and cupcakes because they will be busy with the sun/lions/etc. Whether or not the citizen of the Universe previously did something which I later decree against is irrelevent. If you jumped into the lake before I gave the order not to jump into the lake, you won't be penalized for it, and your status will be equivalent to that of the citizens who did not jump into the lake (donut and cupcake acceptable.) But you will not gain some bonus for jumping into the lake, having guessed what my next decree would be before I gave it--other than being in a lake, I guess.

Essentially, just follow orders and don't get too creative trying to second guess Supreme Ruler- that's pretty straightforward. But do we get some sort of badge to show that we're "donut and cupcake acceptable"?

Supreme Ruler,
I'm unsure of what to have for lunch today. Any suggestions? Pizza, Chinese food, or a deli sandwich?
Sincerely,
Your admiring subject Cobalt Kid
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Well, you're welcome to make your own badges if you like.
And deli sandwich, if it's not too late. It sounds healthier.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
I like a Supreme Ruler who lets her subjects dabble in free will.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Hey, as much fun as firing people into the sun can be, I don't wanna have to spend all my time at it...

thats what underlings, minnions and henchmen are for Mearl and i'm sure you can find one or two on Legion World up for a good Hench every now and then.
Even Supreme Rulers need to understand how to delegate.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Sharing responsibility for the sun cannon just seems like it could lead to, well... cannon abuse...
I would hate for my reign over the universe to be remembered as one which led to unjust cannon launchings.
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
But as supreme ruler you simply retroactively declare any perceived unjust launchings to be just. And as willing servants of the supreme ruler we would accept this. (of course I would also declare an extra weekend and double cupcakes just to be safe)

Did you ever shoot anyone into the moon? Seems to me that would be a really wicked punishment. People probably burn up before they actually reach the sun but with the moon, it's just... well, *splat*.

They have longer to ponder on their trangressions.

My own ponderings concerning the moon seem to catching on!

But there's no air - so we can't hear them go *Splat!*
And you're right - the sun's corona is actually hotter than the sun itself - they'd be fried millions of miles out
There's something quite satisfying about sending people into the sun... the screams and whimpers, and you get to pretend they're 'sunspots' if anyone wanders by while you're listeneing to their last gasps on the radio.

Maybe he can shoot a barrage of parachute-cupcakes out over all your loyal subjects?
That way he gets to fire it - but not in a punative way.
Posted by Mearl Dox on :
Hey, nobody else gets to fire the cannon! That sacred and heavy responsibility is mine and mine alone.
I am selling some "Best Of" holovid recordings of my cannon firings, though.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Care to name any names - rich and famous who got the cannon treatment?
(Or may I say, cannonized?)

If George Lucas had listened to this, he would not be a multi-millionaire today.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
It's been too long since we've had awesome cupcakes and space-cannon firings!
Hey, maybe the cannon can be fired at Pluto instead? We get to hear people scream for much longer!
Posted by Ghost Girl on :
I miss Mearl. I hope she is well, wherever she is.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
I never really got to interact with her. Posted by Ghost Girl on :
you missed out. She was mega-kewl. you know when some people just show up, and feel like they've always been here? Like so many of the now-'classic' posters who have joined in the last few years did when they were newbies?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
She lurked / posted sporadically for awhile and one night during the Sadie Hawkims thread dance thread she just showed up and rocked out! Great intro!
