Of course I knew.

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

You are not the only one who can “follow a digital trail,” Sicon. I do background checks on all my minions… especially when they are accusing each other of fraud. So I found your little hangout. I only skimmed a few threads, enough to discover your planned deception, but seeing how it seems to be a base of operations, it made sense to direct people that way.

I haven’t taken greater action because it didn’t seem important. Talking about deceiving me is desirably evil. Actually attempting to follow through with such deception, however, is foolish. 

Needless to say I will be keeping tabs on all your efforts. Despite your talk of deception, I see real action being taken, and that pleases me. Much more that some of the other things in this world are, right now…

Promotion

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

It seems I was right in my choice– my new campaign managers are already setting our evil in motion. Since a large part of their plan seems to involve posters, I have decided to workshop a sample of what I would like to see.

If you believe in my cause, you may use it to promote my campaign. You may also use it as a basis for inspiration if you are artistically inclined. Either way, my message will be spread across this wretched land, and I trust you will all be on my side when I become Wizard!

The Campaign Begins

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012

I have read through countless applications – some of which showed promising evil aptitude, some of which proved disappointing – and I have finally come to my decision.

My new campaign manager is Sarah T. Her connections and ideas have convinced me that she is the candidate who will help me ascend to the top of this mess you call the Democratic Process.

She will be aided by Andrew and Greg S., two men who I am confident will be the best right and left hands a campaign manager could ask for.

Now. It is time we begin brainstorming. Failure is not an option – this world is too chaotic and must be made to conform for simplicity’s sake. It falls to the hands of my campaign management team, who I’m certain would not enjoy seeing what I do should we lose.

 

Earthquakes

Monday, October 8th, 2012

So I was watching the news, and they said something about an “earthquake”. I didn’t know what that meant, so I looked it up. Turns out an earthquake is exactly what it sounds like. When everything breaks. Cities get torn down in minutes. Huge waves swamp entire towns. One happened in a place called Haiti not too long ago, another in Japan.

Who caused it? No one caused it. It just kind of happened. I have caused destruction like this – heck, I’ve caused destruction exactly like this before – but I’ve always done it with a purpose in mind. A goal. And there was a way that it all seemed to build up into…I don’t know. A story.

I don’t know where I fit into all of this. What is the point in being wicked if evil things happen without me lifting a finger? Maybe when I am Wizard, I will have the ability to channel this chaos more effectively. Now, it just all feels… wrong.

One thing’s for sure, I need to get this campaign underway. I will be selecting my manager soon.

Hmmm…

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

Apparently none of you were cursed. I suppose I have to be in your general area, or something. Pity.

For the record, I will actually want my campaign manager to do things. If you are not serious about networking, or making posters… I recommend you withdraw now, before I DO figure out how to curse you.

Curses

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

Some of you really don’t see yourselves as my followers, do you? A few of the messages I have been receiving are quite… rude.

Do you people not know who I am? I know you do, but allow me to repeat it: I am the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST! You all are supposed to fear me! Why, even just the sight of my skin strikes fear into all of Oz.

I have searched my memory for my favorite spells – they were faithfully earmarked in my grimmoire back home. I have recalled a few, and have cursed some of you. Comment and let me know when they work.

For those of you who were more respectful, I appreciate your time.  I need to do some more research into this world, to figure out how to best go about this, but I will get back to you shortly.

Applicants

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

So, I have decided to launch my own campaign for Wizard, though I need someone who is more familiar with this world to assist me. To that end, I placed an ad in several newspapers, calling for a “Campaign Manager.”

Today the first round of applications came in. A wide selection of minion candidates, many of which were interesting and warrant further review. I had to curse a few of them, however, for insolence or other forms of deception.

On Monkeys and Wizards

Thursday, October 4th, 2012

So, I did my research. There are no flying monkeys in this world, which means my original takeover plan is not a possibility. If I am to take my proper place as the prime terror in this world, I am going to have to find a different route towards rule. A less properly evil route, perhaps, but adaptations are sometimes necessary.

I saw an image of the current Wizard on a mechanical box yesterday, arguing with someone who wishes to replace him. Our Wizard may have been a cowering lout,  but he would have performed better than either of them did — neither of them even employed giant heads or bursts of flame. It was pathetic.

Maybe I could beat the rulers of this new world at their own game. I will look into this.

A new world

Monday, October 1st, 2012

Okay, it’s quite clear that I’m not in Oz anymore. That’s lovely. Do you know what that means for me?

A whole new world to terrorize! Remember this post well, for it is the beginning of my new reign! Truly it was brilliant foresight on my part to decide to chronicle my progress.

Only, I seem to have run into a bit of a hitch. I told someone I needed to speak to your Wizard today, and he said he had no idea what I was talking about. He said: “We elect our leaders here.” You elect them?! That’s ridiculous. How can you people ever expect to get anything done?

A leader must rule through fear and flying monkeys, not through popular support. I will fix this when I rule.
