I would drop out of college.

edited since the office space quote was already explained

and if I rule, I would ban water.

yeah, water sucks.

I would make one radio station that played continuous AC/DC music. No ads. And I would make one tv station that played continuous Simpsons episodes. With a brief interlude at the end of each for bathroom breaks if necessary.

First, I would unify and brainwash the entire population into one country, then kill all who resist and repay the people who join the cause willingly. Then I would create a massive army, and devote 60% of thw worlds funds and resources to creating space travel/ wepons research. The 40% would go to the citizens for civil services, entertainment, propoganda, and food. I would then use my space borne army to conquer our solar system, then devote funds to make me imortal, then conquer the galaxy.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

So free TV for everyone huh?

Every heard of a guy called Pol Pot? In case you haven't, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_pot
His plan was a lot like yours. It didn't work out so well.

So far, no one has contested humanity's claim to this solar syste. So I guess phase 1 is already complete huh.

then devote funds to make me imortal, then conquer the galaxy.

Ok, now we are talking. Those are some real goals.

If I were the ruler of the world, I would have ensured three things before even getting there: 1. complete loyalty to me of all world leaders (since what's the point of being the ruler of the world if you cannot order people around?)
2. ensure that de-facto state leaders, and leaders of all anti-global government forces were infiltrated and destroyed, or made friendly somehow, and
3. promote world-wide campaigns of religious and ethnic tolerance, since ethnic tensions are always bound to flare up without it.

What I would then do are as follows:
construct giant laser, carve name in moon (as Chairface Chippendale did),
Three! chicks at the same time,
Terraforming projects on the moon, then maybe later to mars.
Work on ending world poverty as best as physically possible,
make gladiatorial islands in the south pacific with pleanty of monitors, make it the new worldwide sport.
See if mecha are actually feasible weapons of war, and implement them in the gladiatorial islands,
Create a P-1000 ratte tank just for fun,
replace all coal powered plants with nuclear power plants, preferrably CANDU-based plants which would use thorium rather than uranium, and later upgrade all these to fusion power plants, or just make them fusion power plants instead.
and destroy venus using all of the earths nuclear weapons, in order to get raw materials later. Always be pragmatic.

thank god none of you will ever rule the world.

We have that already.

The callsign is "GITMO".

I would form an underground to assissinate myself, then fake my own death. Then I would laugh as I watched the world tear itself apart trying to fill the power vacuum.

Like Lordhat I would fund my own resistance group. Feed them with info and allow them to almost kill me only to pull the plug at the last moment.

Then I would kill the Hero, the Rebel guy, the funny Kid, the Gentle Big guy and the Chick in a very quick and fail proof way with no forced weddings or evil plan speeches and and let the other rebels go to try again if they want.

And if I go for the inmortality arc probably I´ll get myself a vasectomy to avoid stupid evil daughters falling in love with the hero.

I'd get Firefly back on TV

Once the gate-machine neared completion I would send entreaties to Our Lord who is the Commander of this Last Battlefield, the Angels are his Generals, and - for the Angels are so exquisite and terrible to look upon.

Like a strider atop the water I would be gifted with sight beyond the veil of this existence. I would peer down the murky depths of the eruclidean pools below me, and gaze in wonder horror at a billion times billion alien eyes locked and - for the lord shall peer upon the chattel tides and sup his fill blessing the dead with brilliance beyond magnificence.

Its also the AC/DC channel on satellite radio.

I'd make every day the last day of summer.

In the end I might even get myself overthrown so I can adopt the Coldpay song 'Viva La Vida' as my anthem

Also I would ban Zimbabwe

I would also set Geeks and Geneticists and Biologists and that working together so I can have a menagerie of no-longer-mythical creatures.

That would be cool.

If I was ruler of earth, wait that doesn't sound so good let's say "master of da Univerz" I would:

Make gaming a sport.
Give all companies who make games a trillion euros for each game they make which they MUST use to make newer better games.
Make wargaming a sport.
Give citadel miniatures 50 gazzilion euros for every miniature they make which MUST be used to make newer better models.
Burn everyone who says that wargaming is for nerts.
Burn everyone who says wargaming is the same as roleplaying games.
Collect the smartest people on earth and wire them in a machine which in turn is wired into my head, and transports all the things they know to my brain.
With this information I would make a giant ork army In which nobz play the role of gretchin, warbosses the role of boyz and even bigger orks the role of nobz and warbosses.
This army will ride giant dinosaurs which have gigantic guns attached to their bodies.
With this army I will declare war to the races of the Univerz who try to stop me.
My personal guard will be made of 500000000000 gazilion lizardmen with guns.
My personal guard and my ork army will have special chips in their heads with which they "google" all the new tactics from the internet.
All the orks and lizardmen who use this system to download porn will get a higher rank.

I would hole up in a secret, stockpiled, & well provisioned fortress.

Then, I would pull the plug on every government program.

I would then cut all public services/utilities and watch until mankind turns back into a self-sufficient, self-reliant, responsible for their own actions species able to live without luxuries.(Oh did I mention the hunter teams that will round up all of the lawyers for the gladitorial games)

Then and only then would I go forth to restore order. The strong that took control in their areas would become my distric govenors.

A truer form of capitalism would be established with coorporations and stock markets out-lawed.

The barter system will be a constitutional gaurantee.
Taxation will be a constitutionally mandated 10% of the gross earnings.

Each individual will be gaurranteed the right to do watever the heck they want with their bodies but if stupid about such that there will be no recourse to civil action or law-suits.(If your stupid and end up in a ditch somewhere because of your own stupidity, ya can't blame other people for it.)

Political parties and lobbyists will be out-lawed but everyone will have the right to free unregulated speech.(The right to pop someone in the mouth for exercising said right will be purely on a distict-state by district-state basis)

The governments job will be to prevent open warfare between the district-states. (Unless the Economy needs a boost.)

Guarantee personal freedom to do whatever the heck you want just as long as it doesn't infringe on anybody else right to do such.

To insure the right of the individual district-state to operate it's legal system as it sees fit without interference as long as it doesn't intefere with another distric-states right to do so.

Distric-states teaming up to unfairly bully another one economically will not be tollerated.

There will be an option for a scheduled, equally armed revolution every 50 years.


Repeat the first four items evry 200 years.

i would make homework a class A drug

also i would pay to have a 1:1 scale land raider, terminator amour that works and fits me, and i would protect GW from economic crisis

oh wait, if im world leader, then technically i don't have to pay for anythings!!
>:-)

I can tell you from personal experience none of these ideas work!

I've tried each one at least twice, you "humans" aren't fit to be my Space Marines!

Wow, and I just wanted a little extra butter on my popcorn. Looking back I should have went for more salt as well...

I'm so old school, that unless it's on FM/AM, it doesn't count. And I still own LPs and a record player.

And my car gets 4 hogsheads to the furlong, and I like it that way!

Dude, BatManuel was the gak.

JohnHwangDD wrote:If I were king of the world?

I guess I'd ban religion in favor of a couple simple rules
- be honest & faithful
- try not to kill anyone

I think that's how all Religions start out

Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:Regardless. You are King of the entire planet.

Why bother with only two women at the same time?

I'd actually push through cloning, that I might have an Angelina Jolie and a Milla Jovovich for every room in all my palaces.

But then you could never walk out of a room with Angelina on one arm and Milla on the other to impress your guests without getting a very awkward situation out of it.

The T-virus?

There are lots of animals in cities, and some of them fly. Those massive swarms of T-virus infected Pigeons are going to be a real containment problem.

Also, the Rats...

I think humanity loses in the end.

Just like in the movie.

I would make people forget the Resident Evil movie trilogy ever happened

What if the hero had a dog? Or a twin? Or a younger version which came from the past to save the future?


When I get to be ruler of the world I will...
- End world hunger
- Establish free Internet for everyone, everywhere
- Rename the golden rasberries into "Uwe Boll Award."
- get everyone of those pesky scientists, critics and politicans who try to ban videogames in one room and tell them to get the over it. Then I invite a few head programmers of the gaming industry and throw them a feast like they have never seen before. The people mentioned before will have to watch of course. And them I will do my best to get the programmers work together more closly to get the following games out of it:
-A Star Wars fighting game based on Soul Calibur.
-A Jak and Ratchet game.
-A Final Fantasy VII remake.
-A new Super Smash Bros.. Because there's always room for more characters
- Give Michael Bay his own Island and a bigger budget
- Give my full support to stem cell research. Then tell those religious nuts to get the over it.
- Go to Marvel and tell Joe Quesada to clear up his desk for what he did to Spider-Man
- Retcon every single issue of "Brand New Day". One more day will end with Spidey beating the out of Mephisto.
- Make sure Christopher Nolan gets all the time and money he needs to make another Batman movie. Or a dozen.
- Pay scientists to explore the possiblity of phase shifting, so that Israel and Palastine can coexist in the same place.
- Pay scientists to build ray guns to fight the interdimensional invaders which have come to earth through phase shifting experiment
- Invite my friends for dinner...

Cartoon was infinitely better.

Worst name change ever. His name is Die Fledermaus and should have stayed that way.

You know, I've watched the show as a kid and I never knew why Die Fledermaus was so funny as a name for a a superhero. Until I saw it on English and realised he had the same name as in German

I guess i dont remember much of the cartoon specifically. I just know i bought the live action episodes on DVD and still love them.
