So let's say that this board takes over the world

And all the users who posted here at least semi regularly become part of a new world government.

The countries of the world are split evenly among the mods and notable posters.

Those who posted frequently in other boards, but not Yack Fest, form a rebellion aimed straight at the heart of the new regime.

What would your role in this hypothetical world be, where YF and it's members reign supreme over humanity? Will you uphold their rule, or defect to the opposing side? What are your plans or the world?

I know this is a stupid idea, but I'm bored and I have nowhere else to put it so yeah. OVERDRAMATIC

Hmm... I doubt that I post in this sub-forum often enough to be considered a notable poster here, but do post in other sub-fora, and do regularly read various threads here, so I'm not sure... perhaps a spy for the resistance? Or, if country size is related to degree of notability or volume of posts, then perhaps overlord of a small nation somewhere...

As for my plans... How seriously are we taking this? If not seriously at all, then:

WORLD DOMINATION!

... And then likely abdication to some likely candidate shortly after achieving that goal—should I ever achieve it—likely: ruling the world looks like less fun than conquering the world...

(In the case in which I'm part of the rebellion, I might go with it long enough to topple the Yack World Order—only to turn and use the chaos to set up my own reign on the ashen wreckage of the previous order. Plus that would give me some interesting nemeses already in-place to fight! :D)

I'm less active as a poster on Yack Fest than I am on Forum Games, and I seem to be getting a bit more notable over there so... I guess, I'm a squad captain of the rebellion? Not super notable, but not a Red Shirt either...

I'm relatively regular here.... as in, the only other place I post is the covens, and sometimes the forum games. But most of my time is spent here.

I've been here since Last year, but well... I'm pretty unknown. I'll be a mauve shirt on the Yack fest order's side.

I balance my time pretty evenly between Yack Fest and the media boards, with a slight edge to the latter, so I'd probably be the Plutarch Heavensbee of this scenario: a confidant of the higher-ups, but also working for the rebels.

You are wonderful.

I for one, welcome our new Yack Fest Overlords.

I post here all the time.

I thus present myself as Supreme First Minister of the United Earthic Communities.

I will make everything good. Yes.

I would snicker to myself and wait for the inevitable destruction of the universe that will come when Sicon112 seizes his chance to break reality over his knee.

Yes.

Do your plans involve taking revenge on your exes?

Please, Rossy. I'm not Senses Fail, but yes.

So you'll make everything good, except for with your exes.

I'm not that mean!

I'll just send them fruit or something.

I haven't planned anything out, really.

Since I pretty much post everywhere (except for some maintenance areas like the Trope Talk section, Trope Repair Shop, etc.) and since I'm a herald, I'd probably be heading or helping govern a neutral territory. Probably helping make sure that people calm the eff down.

In board meetings I'd sit quietly and take various notes for reasons unknown to many, except those other government members who find them too vague and unimportant to be a threat.

Believing in the power of prayer may help a bit if WE ever took over things.

Not that it would do much good...

Well, given that I only post here and OTC, I guess I'll be an ambassador?

With a sword. As a Dalek.

You're Secretary for Defence, done. Mwahaha.

I'm Commander of Space Expansion operations and military research with Tueful as my arguing buddy XO.

Major Tom: "I say we need to employ a battle rifle caliber weapon for our troops going to Mars."
Tuffel: "No, we need something lighter and more controllable."
Major Tom: "Damnit Marine! We need better!"

Well I'm not really a notable poster so, that makes me a random conquered person doesn't it?

I guess if I had to pick a specific position, maybe a member of the Department of Relations. I also call Canada.

Maybe you can head a faction of rebels or something?

If we did take over the world, I'd personally put myself in charge of the entire country of Japan.

Can I be in charge of the space program?

@Explosivo Maybe you shouldn't have suggested it though since apparently you're in charge of my country
