Here's something that's been troubling me for awhile, and maybe it's nothing, but why am I not a higher rank than I am?
I mean, I'm below Nolan and Damian! Not that I don't like them... it's just... ok, let me put it this way.
I joined the Overlords on Nolvember 5th, 2005 at approx. 11:25 AM. (I HAVE a documented record of who joined when, and what their names are, so don't think I'm making this shit up.) Omicron, was obviously the first to join. He, with me as a witness, initiacted Delta and Epsilon, and then I was initiated. Gamma joined the Overlords the next day around the same time.
Psi decided to join around the same time as Gamma, but took longer to decide his name, so it wasn't untill well into the afternoon he was a member. Another thing about Psi. He tried to betray us and quit two years ago! Even to this day, he denounces his association with the club.
Alpha, if you recall, wasn't a member untill that summer at the pool. Nearly 7 months after the Overlord's foundation.
So why should I, being loyal to the group, having recorded the club's history, AND being one of the elder members be below the two? An Elite? It even bothers me a little bit that I'm below Gamma, but at least he's commited and contributed to the group.
You can tell me that the club is a democracy, and that it was fairly voted on due to merits and seniority and contributions to the club, but if that was the case, dear Overlords, then should I not AT LEAST be a Cardnal? If not, a sub-leader like Jacob or Eli?
Is there something you do not like about me? Is it because I frighten you, annoy you... or is it... because I'm a woman?
I've never seen you as a sexist bunch. You hang around with me, Chelsea, Nina and Emily ok... but something must be up if you elected Nolan and Damian before I. And if nothing else, AT LEAST tell me why you did so, ergo my mind will be at ease for the time being.

Jake and I are the co-leaders simply because we were Cardinals 1 & 2 when Evan left school. Simple as that.

That's not my issue, though. MY problem is why was I voted at a lower rank than an overlord who doesn't even sit with us anymore and an overlord who renounces his own membership, when I am one of the founders and one of the most participary overlords?

Well, as for Damian's rank, it puzzles me to how he's so high up. I mean, he tied with me the first time there was a vote, and Evan just decided to pick me as the 3rd Cardinal, and technically HE should be the 1st Cardinal right now (not that I'm conplaining about my rank), because he technically beat me the last time there was a vote. Also, the only reason he doesn't sit with us is because (to be blunt) we ditched him to sit with Chelsea, Emily, and Thomas, and there is no room left where we currently sit for him. Otherwise he would be sitting with us.

But still, (and this is our fault too) has he EVER attended anything fun with us? Has he come to our parties? Is he in any extra-cirriculars with us? Does he ever make a point to participate in Overlordic matters?
I know the kid's shy, and we don't really give him a fair chance... but I came first, didn't I? And... I dunno. It just bothers me.

As for Nolan, the way I was told was that he was actually one of the co-founders of the Overlords. The way I was told was that Evan, Jac, and Nolan really first started it at some camp. So really (according to what I was told), he should rightfully have a higher rank than most for helping create our society. And the only reason he resented being an Overlord (and wanted to quit) was because he thought that our democracy was corupt because he would intimidate people to vote for what ever he voted for, which included letting any moron join. I too belive that it was corrupt the way it was. Since Evan has no influence over anybody (since he doesn't go to school) Nolan has no reason to resent being an Overlord anymore, and probably doesn't. Would he have left if he could. Yes, there's no getting around that, but he technically couldn't since we never voted him out.

Technically yes, you did come first, but there's no getting around what is. It bothered me to how he beat me in the second vote, but I delt with it. It's just one of those things we have to deal with. Maybe you'll get a higher rank next vote.

As for myself, I don't know how I got this high. Well, actually I do, Eli and Jac decided that I should be 1st Cardinal, Damian be 2nd, and Nolan 3rd, but that's not my point. To be truthfully honest, I don't know why I've always had such a high rank (though I wouldn't be surprised if it was because some people are intimidated by me (not that I threatend anybody to vote for me)). All I can do is be grateful for my rank.

In our present situation, probably (since Damian doesn't sit with us at the same table anymore), but I can't say for certain.

I see. Well, who knows? As for myself, I don't know how I got this high. Well, actually I do, To be truthfully honest, I don't know why I've always had such a high rank (though I wouldn't be surprised if it was because some people are intimidated by me (not that I threatend anybody to vote for me)). All I can do is be grateful for my rank. You've always struck me as a vain young man, Gamma. I'm glad you hold yourself in such high esteem. (Course, that's easy to do when people actually vote for you.)

You take pride in your messy hair. Geoff, there are many kinds of vanity, and you ARE vain. I'm sorry.

I don't see how that's the classic text-book style form of vainity. Last time I checked, taking pride in something wouldn't be vain, just having pride. Sure, we all have SOME vainity in us, but I still don't see how I am "beyond average" vain.

Well... like... it's not a BAD kind of vain. You just take pride in what you do and love it when people praise it. I'm the same way... and you're somewhat egotistical.
I dunno. It's probably nothing.

Though being any kind of vain is usually negative, ya, it's probably nothing.

The reason being for your place so low is that Omicron had a lot of points to vote with, and just chose randomly to whom he would give those points. This, of course, was after he chose his friends that have been with him the longest. That is why Delta, Gamma, and myself are so high up. We've been his friends since 1st grade, whilst you, at the time, had only known him for about 2-3 years about? Us being his friends for about 6 years made him think of us first. That is my deduction on why you are where you are in the rankings.

Yes, that does make sense, but doesn't really explain Damian though.
