)The Plot
Butler had friends in the press and Congress, so he could not be ignored when he came forward in late 1934 with a tale of conspiracy against President Roosevelt, in which he had been asked to take a leading role. At first glance, Butler seems an unlikely candidate for such a position. While Butler was a Republican, in 1932 he campaigned for Roosevelt, calling himself a "Republican-for-Ex-President Hoover." (Butler had a poor relationship with Hoover going back to their time together during the Boxer Rebellion.)
But there were good reasons why someone seeking to overthrow the U.S. government would have wanted Butler involved. Butler was a powerful symbol to many American soldiers and veterans - an enlisted man's general, one that spoke out for their interests while on active duty, and after retirement. Butler would have attracted men to his cause that would not otherwise have participated in a march on Washington.
Butler would have been a good choice also because of his military skills. His personal courage and tactical skill would have made him a powerful commander of an irregular army. Finally, his ties of friendship to many officers still on active duty might have undermined military opposition to his force, as friends and colleagues sought to avoid a direct confrontation with him.
Ha...my brother and I used to do similar things...though we didn't usually call ourselves "gods".Merrypaws wrote:Aah, people claiming themselves as overlords of nonexcistant things... this bring back memories...
No, seriously.
When I was a kid and played with my toy animals, I came up with these stories they acted out, and in those stories I myself always played the role of Maya, a great, all-powerful goddess-like being.
I was a weird child.

As I said, I think wanting to be big and powerful is just a human thing.
I, ofcource, was always the goddess of my stuffed animals. To me, more stuffed animals not only meant I could cover my self up more when I sleep, but because I'd then have yet more worshippers!
Though because we are talking about what games we played when we were younger. I used to pretend to be a wolf in a fantasy Role Play with others. I also with the same people pretended we were in the Army (which is a very big step back from being Goddess.) and we'd all play with Army Men inside and then beat each other up outside. I never fought with someone we did not agree apon, we would agree to fight and then get started. I was a tough girl, though I could pack a good punch for my age then, I can't stand to punch anyone now, agreed on it or not.
He he, I can just see where sometimes that want to be a ruler, and for some people an animal, doesn't seem to stop. I just love my toys too much that any toy animal thrown away breaks my heart.
You don't need a paper with Stats on them or pretending to be a King, Queen, Knight, Wizard or Elf to be role playing. I really doubt you've never pretended, whether in your mind or with some friends, to be someone else. Role Playing all in all is just playing pretend.Figarou wrote: I never role played my entire life. Even if I did, it wouldn't be a god or an alpha. I'm used to taking orders, not giving them. (Unless I'm at a restaurant.) The character I created is fairly new, and an odd one at that. Now who else would create a crazy werewolf that loves to toss duckies at other werewolves.
As for my characters name, it closely matches my real last name.

Do you copy and paste the thingy like this?
