The Campaign Begins

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

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…

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

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

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

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

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.

A Small Setback…

September 29th, 2012

So, as much I hate to admit it, I think I’m lost. I got hit by a twister yesterday and got thrown off course, and to add insult to injury my broom has stopped working.

I’m in some weird territory that I’ve never seen before. It’s far too dry and the people are too tall for it to be Munchkin Land, so where in Oz am I? I ran from the site where I inelegantly dropped from the sky, so even knowing where I was won’t help me now.

I have decided to begin chronicling my journey in this foreign land. It may prove useful for interacting with you, the native populace, and for tracking down my location.

If anyone knows where I am, I command you to leave me a message! I will consider you among my faithful followers when I take over Oz.
