This isnât my best writing but I hope I can capture the dramatic nature of it
Itâs december 2021. I recently moved discord accounts, previously only being in the server for the emotes I rejoined on my new account 3 months prior. A month later, in my boredom, I decide to start talking in the server.
At the time, the server was rather simple. The admins were appointed because they were the first 5 people to join the server. One of these people, wasnât happy with his amount of power in the server. He wanted more. He pushed the owner to give him power over all the admins. Not very willing to do this, the owner instead decides that there will be an ELECTION. A random selection of people who wanted to be president, and a few of the admins, are put into the race.
Iâve been here for a few weeks now and Iâve established myself like I do. I, by chance, am one of the people up for election. Having befriended the core chatters in the server, I assembled them into my party, as well as forming a coalition with my biggest rival.
At the time there was kind of a sister server, with a user from that server happening to be in the elections. I happen to be friends with the owner of that server, where they reveal that theyâre organising the members of that server to attempt to rig the election. I saw their plan for presidency. They just wanted to cause chaos. It was dishonorable, and I knew that if I became president, not only would I stop the destruction of the server, I could build it greater than before. But these people, they were inviting people to the server to shift the votes in the favor. I had to do something. I went to the owner with my evidence and they were struck down. I was back in the lead.
My running mate and I⌠we were having some differing opinons, and I didnât trust him. Relations started to break down and I cut him off. THIS WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT LATER. MAJOR ANTAGONIST FORESHADOWING.
I win the election. By landslide. The admin, who has failed to gain his throne, now goes to the owner saying âWe canât just give anyone power over the server!â and convinces him to put the presidency below the admins, and take away most its power. I bargain with the owner, pointing towards my plans and, definitely not just because he thought I was hot, he gives in and gives me power. Significant power. My running mate, he was like the admin. All he wanted was power. So now he goes to the owner and says âI can help you do some work on the server, I could make your life much easier if you give me admin.â and IT WORKS. Suddenly the dynamics are flipped. However, I see this and know this is my chance to bargain. I point this out to the owner, how I won the popular vote and now the loser is above me, and the presidency became the one all powerful role in the server.
I could definitely tell this story much better. For sure. I think its one you had to be there for honestly
