The first goal is to get the candidates down to a reasonable number, then deal with a voting change. The one I suggested was one up/one down vote, but the 1 up-2 down could work. We've got some time before we get to that point, though.

Competition is tough... and perhaps not always entirely above-board?

I was just talking to my parents about a certain American politician with presidential ambitions who was born in Canada. Eligibility laws are weird and much more complicated than most realize. He's not a demon, though, unless you count all politicians as evil.

I notice Lucy wasn't included - but then, I don't think she's ever been invited to the island, and she's not tyled to the lodge - nor is Jacquie.....

Following Atsali's leadership seems to result in explosions, plummeting, runaway nuclear reactions, and ice cream. Three of those four items might be best left off of the island.

They went after a baby. Did you think going after a teenager would be above them? :roll: :P

This teenager is seven feet tall and has fully-functional wings. She's often going to be above us.

And, given her history for inducing mayhem, having her as the ruler of the Island Cafe is clearly a sub-optimal strategy for all involved. We're already short one sand-bar, one island, a mine, a cliff dwelling, and an underground cyberlibrary. The Wapsi community really shouldn't be deprived of a second island so quickly.

Now, having her act as the ruler's secret enforcer-agent e.g. sending her out as an exchange student and then watching the results from a safe distance... now that could be an interesting strategy.

I still see the Sage of the Forest as the best leadership in the mix. But who's the worst is really debatable...
