Hmm... Sam, does this counteract your earlier theory about when Stephen turned evil? This comes later than those posts did... Of course, I'll have to keep reading the Forum to find out if the Stephen declared to be from an alternate universe was actually the REAL Stephen, and this one was from an alternate universe and confused about his origins...

Other notes: Later in this thread, some discussion about other stories (one featuring Gestald and Garandel which intrigues me greatly) takes place. I am confident that "The War III" is dead by now because of obsolescence (is that a word?) but I would like to know about the others... Any more recent news?

Finally, I have not completely stopped thinking about following in Stephen's footsteps. Let it also be noted that my first thoughts on dictatorship came up in a thread which started BEFORE Stephen declared his rulership, and through some convoluted logic which I do not wish to explain to lesser beings, I can use this as evidence that my rise to power precedes Stephen's. I will continue to be the good little Monkey while I read through some more old Forum posts and make my decision, but that part of me may soon be cast away.
