I'd have to write a post...I do have something in mind

We'll see if the juices flow. If they do, maybe I'll consider a little harder

I'm just imagining everyone seeing the seat belonging to some sort of universally hated incumbent and then all running there whilst Taylor crushes them all in the polls thanks to his new powers of not being overly inflammatory or stupid.

At this rate, even President Reed will consider running in the special election.

Off topic, I just took the philosophical dichomity test and I somehow got Objectivism. I disagree with Rand on nearly everything, but I guess Bioshock is the world for me.

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

I honestly regret having so many. It’s just so busy. I’m hyperfocusing on Lane, Rhodes, Mayfield, Albano, and Torres, keeping these as my core five. I’m doing something with Hookstraten soon, but that’s an excursion.

Well, it's never too late to create an underwater or floating city. Though, seeing how most of our IC characters are all over the political spectrum, most of them can apply to being citizens in Columbia.

Wouldn’t be a bad ol’ RP. But honestly I would be very entertained if Hookstraten was in Columbia. He would be right at home.

Speaking of Hook, where is he? It's been a while. A return is a must. Cox needs him to help kill Jared in the perfect crime.

I’m planning rally around the site of a former confederate statue with several prominent far-right figures in Virginia. Coming in with a bang. Soon.

Attempting to kill Jared also needs to occur, that could be very fun.

That also reminds me that I was planning an invasion of the US with another character. I need to finish that arc.

Yes! She was last in the Middle East dropping off funds and fake passports to Ferdinand’s Islamic army with the goal of going to Mexico and sneaking across the border to commit terrorist acts.

You do realize that every Libertarian wants her prosecuted for being the one who destroyed their party. Is she even aware that she's mainly responsible for what happened?
