And here we are
existing for all time.

Witnessing across passage of the ages,
Eternal morality plays,
Lyrical standards,
Timeless stories.

And over the centuries, we have told and retold those tales.
Mixed-them-up.
Made call-backs jokes.
Remixed our stories.

Memes have existed
from the morning of the world
and shall exist until
the last star falls
from the night.

Although I have taken the form of
Pontius Pilate,
Memes are of all persons,
as well of no-persons,
and thus immortal:
as a god.

And so, I do submit, a new badass meme for the ages…

I’ll need to suspend the game until Mon Dec 11.

This “news”
hath been faked.
Sad!

Badass Dragoons of the Highlands - Turn 1 - Avignon (c.1310)

It all came to a head in the late 20th century…or the 56th century, or the 46th century, or in the 13th century. Honestly, it depends on how you choose to mark time. Time makes its mark on humankind - and we attempt to do the same in return. But I’m getting ahead of myself

If we recount the better part of a millennia, I sincerely hope that 48 hours is well within the margin of error of the larger narrative. That having been said…

…we resume our story at the very moment that Mr. Collins (@David_Falkayn) and Zero Demos (@daneel) have brought the story to within a hair of its own conclusion.

At long last, the final conflict will be joined as Mr. Collins faces his own personal nemesis in the figure of Zero Demos. On the rooftops of the city, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as the ancient representatives of Minoa and Egypt contest to the very last.

Immortals - please supply to me via PM your respective stances for Round 1. Let the final battle be joined.

Mr Demos,

Our conversation, begun so long ago in Alexandria, resumes.

However this turns out, we will be conversational partners for eternity.

I couldn’t be more delighted!

[Myf467]

Go, ye heroes, go to glory,
Though you die in combat gory,
Ye shall live in song and story.
Go to immortality!
Go to death, and go to slaughter;
Die, and every Cornish daughter
With her tears your grave shall water.
Go, ye heroes, go and die!

[David_Falkayn]

μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Διαδήλωση…

Sorry, Homer, that’s the best I can do with these impoverished scripts. You have no idea how poorly modern communication captures Classical Grace.

But at least your timeless opening line fit into a tweet.

– Yours in Truth,

Mr. Collins

[teknocholer]

Classical… [?!!]

Surely you meant to say “Homeric”, Mr. Collins (although all but the most hidebound would probably accept “Ionic”).

I know I speak for all the residents when I say that we respect your eagerness to engage the foe. However, allowing your frenzied battle-rage to affect your normally punctilious scholarship could prove to be your Achilles’ heel.
