Mythic CN John Wilkes Booth's page

I don't see what the problem with making an entire avatar for the Mythic Evil Lincoln thread is...

...except perhaps that he isn't posting as often, lately, making me waste a perfectly great joke alias.

*quietly waits in the shadows for Mythic Evil Lincoln to show up*

In case you haven't figured it out yet, I like making parody aliases of other people's names.

I sent you some theater tickets as my little way of saying congratulations. Balcony seats.

I exist only to contradict you! Also, why haven't you returned my calls? Mythic LE Ulysses S. Grant says you're not going to be joining us for the Mythic Contradictory Alignment Famous People of the 1800s Potluck next week. Mythic Good Robert E. Lee is bringing his famous potato salad! How can you miss that? Important date at the theater? ZING!

How come I never get invited to these things?

Did Mythic LG Lovecraft not pass on the message? I told him to tell you about it. That jerk was probably just mad because I told him he wasn't technically famous in the 1800s, even if he was alive then.

Honestly, it's not even about the timing of his celebrity. I was just tired of him bringing calamari to every damn event. Really getting sick of his tentacle fetish. Even Mythic Unaligned Meiji the Great said it was offensive and in poor taste.

Which brings us to another forum meme:

Pop-up reasoned debates in threads where they don't belong!

The problem here is that, without a flame-bait title, the participants tend to be quite reasonable, and the debate of high quality... which makes it that much worse that it must be quashed for being off topic, or moved to its own thread which will inevitably have a flame-bait title. And that will be a magnet for trolls, which ruins the quality of the discussion!

For example, the last few posts could be wrangled into a spinoff thread entitled "NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE BLORCH" and well, would it be as comparatively polite as it was here?

There are ways to phrase such a discussion without being flame bait. Especially since sex before marriage is only a piece of the "sex - too in your face, or not in your face enough" discussion sidetrack that occurred here.

I exist only to contradict you! Also, why haven't you returned my calls? Mythic LE Ulysses S. Grant says you're not going to be joining us for the Mythic Contradictory Alignment Famous People of the 1800s Potluck next week. Mythic Good Robert E. Lee is bringing his famous potato salad!

You were warned this day would come. I completed my first trial and ascended to greatness.

Your day will come.

This is not a bump of your thread because I'm bored with nothing to do and enjoy reading AMA threads due to their nonsensical tangentials and/or I really want to get some mileage out of this alias, and I feel bumping this thread will get me the most opportunities to extend this joke beyond one post...short of spamming every thread you post in with nonsequiters, obviously...

Nope, that's not what this post is at all...just an announcement of my ascension, is all.

First.

Not according to your "something something" thread. There you said Mythic TOZ beat you to it.

I exist only to counter your every move!

Oh, no, that's not the case at all.

The whole thing started with me ragging on the Epic rules for being just the normal options with the word "Epic" prepended to them.

I pledged that I would mock the Mythic rules terribly if they did the same thing. They did.

At the exact moment of the Mythic release, I ascended.

Since I was the first, I have obtained the highest Mythic Rank of any of the Mythic Posters. Which is how I have thwarted all of your pathetic attempts on my life.

How dare you contradict me! Sic semper tyrannus!

I will destroy you one day, Mark my words... unless, you know, I get bored and change my mind, being chaotic neutral and all...

Gonna be honest here, it's pretty hard to sustain this nemesis state considering I agree with so many of your posts. Nevertheless, it's a point of pride. I do have to destroy you. My acting career has taken a bit of a Nick Cage turn of late, and I gotta get the tabloids talking again. You understand.

First.

EDIT - Nevermind what I might've incorrectly remembered earlier...

...But not the last!

I exist only to counter your every move!
