User blog:TurtleShroom/The Price You Must Pay
Contents
All right. It has come to my attention that the will of the Masses is to grant our resident Mary Sue it's fricken' independence. Never grateful that they got autonomy, Sancho's greed has pushed to new bounds, and he has demanded total independenc of the most corrupt city in Antarctica. Sancho, you truly are one of the biggest ingrates I've lived to see. -and that NASTY rumor that you're gay- which you never really spoke of spare once -really pits me at the opposite scale of your ungrateful world.
For reasons I'll never understand, the people... somehow gave it to him. -and so, who am I to question that?
I tried to oppose it, and Austin did a better job by warring against it with facts and reason, but he was ignored. I'll never know what got into you people, but whatever it was, you got your wish.
Surely, dear Sancho, ye merciless, ever-begging ingrate, you can spare me one BALANCE to the Mary Sue to end all Swiss Ninjas?
You can? Excellent.
Freedom comes at a price, Sanchonachos. I will grant you this..............
...........if you give me this one balance. Just one.
Okay? Good.
I want Polaris to BURN.
I want a conflagration to end all firestorms... the merciless destruction of the greatest Mary Sue ever spawned on this wiki.
-and in return for Polaris being a pile of ashes like the Old South's Atlanta...
<math>I</math> <math>will</math> <math>give</math> <math>you</math> <math>freedom</math>.
Freedom comes at a price, Sancho. Your pampered little gleaming city WILL be free. -but at what cost?
I present to you one of the ultimate choices of life. Freedom is not something you can just get. It must be EARNED... -and sometimes, earned by destruction at the merciless claws of war.
In the real world, the Founding Fathers of the United States pledged "their lives, their fortunes, and their Sacred Honor" to their cause. Is Polaris that resolute? Or do you want the beautiful little shiny happy plastic city to walk out of the USA in perfect shape? Unfortunately, Sancho, that is not how freedom works!
You must pay the price. The price is steep. -but I will not let a Mary Sue beyond all Swiss Ninja can encompass get out of here without knowing its place.
Give me fire, and I will give you freedom.
Permit me to write a March to the Sea worthy of my Southern heritage, and I'll give you your dream.
Ashes for freedom, fire for independence.
I shall burn Polairs to the ground, and then, only then, shall Polaris be free.
It's a fitting compromise, yes?
I show Polaris its place, and then, Polaris, reduced to ashes and weeping, prostrate on its no longer shiny happy Mary Sue knees, will buy its independence from the USA in solid gold.
Polaris is not a land of heroics and noble acts. It is the most corrupt city in Antarctica, and it must go out like it.
There is no honor in corruption.
What will I burn? To please you, I will ONLY burn the City of Polaris. Unless, of course, you get greedy. If you become even MORE ungrateful, I'll burn more cities, and more cities...... -and more...
-but you WILL get your freedom! You just have to pay the cost.
I offer you your dream...
-but no offer is without a price.
Freedom is a high demand.
Are you... no... is your Mary Sue...
Your ego...
Your perfect little world...
Is it prepared to pay the ultimate price?
The price RL people have given their lives for?
The price beyond all measure?
The price, that, theologically speaking, God Himself killed His Son so that we may receive it?
I leave you with a song from my early childhood, back in 1999. It's country, yes, but I want you to listen.
This is the time, Sancho! HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?!

Disscussion[edit]
You Can't Do This[edit]
Ts, you cant do this. We voted and it's official. I made Sancho swear not to put homosexuality into the Republic, and i intend to keep it that way. We will work out kinks in the new country but not yet. Anyways, i do have something to pay you back with....it's something i saved for Christmas but I'll show you today in the afternoon. Try to show up on the IRC for once. Thanks.

What Happened to You?[edit]
TurtleShroom, what has happened to you?
For all I know, wishing for Polaris to be burnt down simply because it is a Mary Sue seems to be... sinful in a way or another. I could relate it to wraith, envy and even gluttony greatly. This is NOT the TurtleShroom I know. It may even be related to pride, as in the bad kind.
Homosexuality does not matter in my opinion. Sancho once ruled all the airports, and I wanted to balance them out, but not burn them and destroy his entire airline or something. We could make modifications, such as making it less attractive in certain areas, giving it less land, etc., but to burn them seems really... undesirable. It is even worse than a parody of 9/11, and we all could relate to that.
I'm not exaggerating; it is true. I have viewed the Polaris article and it doesn't seem like a Mary Sue at all, with all the corruption taking place, it is probably not the best city ever.
I'm not sure if this make other countries Mary Sues either. MAI is the most racially harmonious country in Antarctica, with good relations and a stable economy, while other areas like Flystarland and Clearwater Island, although somewhat forgotten, are significant in some way or another.
Try not to resort to such means, TurtleShroom. At most, try creating some public accidents with the corruption ongoing in Polaris. It used to be colours. ~Alex001 15:13, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
SUGGESTION:
- Allow white collar crime to escalate, leading to more crime activities and causing Polaris to be fourth in raking of least crime.
- Scandals and shame to befall on Polaris's government.
- Quality of Life to drop to 8-9 range
- Gaps between social classes to be unanimously wide
- Freedom within SAD restrained; media blackouts occur occasionally
This is a much better price to pay. Polaris won't be the best city, but it won't be burnt to the ground either. It would be like any other city, with its pros and cons. There.
I really have no idea what this whole thing is about, as I try to stay out of these arguments if possible, but I'm sorry I can't ignore this. TS, are you quite alright? I do not care whether it's a corrupt city, or whatever, you have no right to go burning down other peoples creations! And then you mention a "nasty rumor about Sancho being gay". Oh boo hoo! Look, I don't know Sancho at all. I'm not sure if he's a nice guy or not. But I have now got to say something I've wanted to say in awhile. Homophobia is quite possibly one of the dumbest fears on the planet (and this is coming from a Christian mind you). Despite what some people like Chris Chan might say, being gay is not something you choose and it's not something you can just stop being. It's all about what you're attracted to, and that is something that you can't change. No I'm not gay, but I understand why some people are. I'm not some shallow person who would imediatley abandon one of my friends if he/she turned out to be gay, and honestly TS if you're like that I have to say that's pretty sad.
But anyways back on topic. TS this is a place where people make articles to have fun. Not to have someone say they have to have their cities burn to ground. Keep in mind, this is a fan universe about talking multi-colored penguins. There's a limit to how seriously you can really take that (which is why I usually try to put some comedy in my stories to sorta lighten the mood). Plus, wouldn't burning a city to the ground technically kill thousands of innocent penguins. Yet you got on my case for having "one" turtle (who was a minor character mind you) be vaporized. I want you to think about that. TS, you're a great editor, but you need to learn to solve these problems. I'm not saying Sancho is completely innocent, but the way you're handling this is just wrong. There's I song I could post a link to, but I'm not going to. --Speeddasher A link to a talk page "Lock On"!
RE[edit]
Sancho, I'm not calling for death. Sherman's March to the Sea didn't cause as much death as it did destruction of property, but I see your worries, and yes, they do have justification.
Your considerations have been taken to note.
This wasn't going to be strong-armed onto Polaris. I pitched the offer and was going to see of Sancho was willing to take my bargain. I'm not going to waltz in and write a god-mod where the city is set aflame. I don't have the authority to do that, and even if I did, I wouldn't be willing to do such a thing, because the Mary Sue Uprising is the will of the people, which even I am bound to.
The problem with Sancho's Polaris is that he never uses the corruption. He'll write a Mary Sue and I'll have to come in and add the flaws. The main reason I'm ticked is not so much the Sue, but that I've given Sancho his request several times.
- "Please give Polaris a break and have the USA off its back!" - Granted, but he still wasn't pleased.
- "Please stop Mattress Village and others from strongly interfering with it!" - Granted, but still ingrateful.
- "Please reduce the role of the Kingfish Complex in Poalrian history!" - Granted but ingrateful.
- "Please let me put every government building in my skyscrapers and let the KC rot!" - Granted but ingrateful.
- ...-and it continues...
- "Please give Polaris more autonomy!"
- "Fine. The BORNE is ineffective and regulatorily captured, at the mercy of Polaris."
- "Please let Polaris make Puerto Whatever a part of itself."
- ...-and he's never satisfied.
- "TURTLESHROOM IS OPPRESSIVE I MUST GIVE POLARIS ARMY"
- "TURTLESHROOM IS EVIL I MUST MAKE ALLIES WITH SNOSS"
- "TURTLESHROOM NEVER LETS POLARIS DO ANYTHING I MUST NULLIFY RULES"
- "TURTLESHROOM IS GREEDY I WANT MORE INDEPENDENCE"
- "SHUT UP TURTLESHROOM POLARIS IS A COUNTRY NOW"
- "TURTLESHROOM IS GREEDY I WANT MORE INDEPENDENCE"
- "TURTLESHROOM NEVER LETS POLARIS DO ANYTHING I MUST NULLIFY RULES"
- "TURTLESHROOM IS EVIL I MUST MAKE ALLIES WITH SNOSS"
It's Sancho's selfish, unrelenting GREED that drove me up the wall to the point of wanting Polaris to burn. Nothing I do pleases him. When I give him what he wants, he demands more... -and more... -and more and more and more and more!!!
He has no respect for give-and-take. It's his way or the highway, which is a lot like this proposal. It's very insulting when I give him what he wants and then he runs over me to get more of his own will.
He's abused my kindness and willingness to strike a compromise. This is more an ultimatum than a compromise, but I was ticked because Sancho has no respect for me or anything I've let him have.
...-and he isn't going to honor his word. If he didn't honor it when he said what I gave him was fine, what makes me think he will actually stay out of the queer issues?
I'm sorry you had to see me like this, Speed, but I, like any human being, get angry, and in anger, I'm prone to going overboard. Please don't think less of me for this reason.
TurtleShroom Must be Destroyed[edit]
I thought that references to the 9/11 tragedy were banned..and the WTC did go up in flames, then collapsed, killing thousands of innocent lives. Oh well, I don't think TS will care if that happened again in America, like he wants that to occur in Polaris. Anyways, I shall not under any circumstances allow Polaris to burn to the ground. All right, I can go burn TSP on a stake if you wish...and make Kebab..Would you really want me destroying your creations? It's like a vandal throwing one of Degas' paintings into the incinerator when he has a sixth of the painting to finish. I came to this Wiki to express myself freely, and have a little fun. Now, you come along and ramble about "Mary Sue", "BLAH. FREAKING. BLAH.".
TS, why must you rain of my parade, in fact, why do you need to rain on everyone else's parades? You're not the dictator of this site, neither should you proclaim yourself to be. You probably think that everyone here has less caliber than you. Come to think of it, you have an expansive superiority complex. Just tell me, why do you suppress the ideas and ideology of others? Are we not in the FREE WORLD, where we are FREE to speak our minds, express ourselves, demonstrate, and align with certain parties. I believed that you were a benign, thoughtful, selfless user on this wiki. Now that I see it, you're like Lotso from Toy Story 3: so manipulative, inconsiderate. The wiki shouldn't be left at the station by the Train of Democracy. We nee to govern ourselves freely, without oppression from this despot.-- Sanchonachos Republicans:Stop Whining. 22:38, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
YOU MAD?[edit]
After careful analysis of this post, I have a conclusion in images and text.
Just let Polaris free, and try rigging it a bit, slowly until it crumbles. For one thing, the USA could stop Polarian import/exports to help cripple the economy. There's plenty of ideas. Just try. Andrew (Minecrafter) (Freeciv) 22:39, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
TS...epic fail[edit]
TS, you don't have the friggin power to do this. You don't have the power to do ANYTHING. AT ALL. How about I go and have Snowzerland destroy Holyberden? I couldn't. I don't have the power. Neither do you. You can't affect Sancho's stuff a dang bit. So, this whole thing is COMPLETELY IRRELEVENT. You have no more sway in the government of this site than your 1 vote in our democracy. I have just as much power as you. We already voted! So this whole thing is rather irrelevent.
Secondly, why is it a "nasty rumor" about Sancho being gay? Why are you even bringing that up? That's not relevant also. Not only that, but you take yourself too seriously. Failure background music? Check. Long, boring rant? Check. Being completely serious and typing something that's longer than a five paragraph essay? Check. Putting in some Tim Hawkins song? Check. I mean, seriously! We already were fine with this. In fact, if you delete the Polaran Revolution or any of this stuff one more time, I will ban you just like any other user who deletes stuff. Mmkay? I'm not for this revolution (mainly for the factual reasons), but SERIOUSLY, MAN! Suck it up already! I mean, SERIOUSLY. This rant was completely a waste of time, just stirring up something that was already settled, and you're talking about SANCHO whining?
Every 1 whine he's made, you've made 3! You constantly whine about how it's too "perfect", go out of your way to mess it up, delete the revolution when we had a community vote on it, and you're bringing it up AGAIN! Honestly, you're a horrible hypocrite. I would be careful to consider yourself a good person, because this is just SAD. You're 18! An adult! You can drink beer in 3 years. Act your age. Or at least a year or two younger.
I'm not happy. --Austin8310 King Radical. The most Radical Man in Radical Land.http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/13p27/ 22:51, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

RE2[edit]
Sancho, I'm not speaking about the Twin Towers, nor am I referencing acts of terror, and my firey plan did not include death.
I'm speaking of the March to the Sea, performed by William Tecumseh Sherman in the Civil War.
As I sort through your comments and AgentGenius soapbox campaigning, I guess I'll take the time to dismantle and reply to each, to the best of my abilities.
- I thought that references to the 9/11 tragedy were banned.
- They are. Where did I propose a 9/11 or terror attack against Polaris? The March to the Sea was in the American Civil War.
- I don't think TS will care if that happened again in America.
- That is a broadfaced, lying smear so great that I won't even dignify that with a response.
- I shall not under any circumstances allow Polaris to burn to the ground.
- All right. Talk to me. Let's compromise something, then!
- I came to this Wiki to express myself freely...
- Oh, here we go again...
- You haven't broken any rules, fortunately, but a reminder: your "free speech" and whatever is regulated by this site's rules, and you are not entitled to everything.
- TS, why must you rain of my parade, in fact, why do you need to rain on everyone else's parades?
- There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you have observed how I initially treated Swiss Ninja, you'd note that enforcing balance by whatever means neccesary and demanding ultimatums to achieve that very goal is something that I have done before.
- You're not the dictator of this site, neither should you proclaim yourself to be.
- De jure, I reckon not, but de facto, I still have some governing sway here. I even have it if I lack any sort of rank, be it Patroller, Sysop, or plain User. I've contributed greatly to what this wiki is today, and what I've given to this wiki warrents and justifies my attempts to influence the wiki's policy and governance. Twelve thousand edits have worth, Sancho.
- You probably think that everyone here has less caliber than you.
- Assumption. I never said you or anyone else was inferior to me. If you want an example of the opposite, Explorer's the better man than me here, anyway.
- Come to think of it, you have an expansive superiority complex.
- -and you, in demanding Polaris get EVERYTHING, even when I gave you a compromise on the SAD Amendment, isn't?
- Making your city the shiniest, grandest, happiest, best-to-live, most crime-free, near-most wealthiest, tallest, greatest, best-thing-since-Barkjon place to be isn't?
- Sancho, look in the mirror before you point the finger at me. I crippled Mattress Village with stubborn coots and a microscopic budget and a non-growing population. I keep TSP in check by making him naive, gullible, and passive in his in-universe actions. I ensure balance by providing a weakness that offsets all strengths, and Sancho, TurtleShroom dies a lonely penguin because of his path, and his wife (see category:Spawn of TurtleShroom) never did love him as much as he loved her. TurtleShroom (Penguin)'s fate isn't sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows; I gave him a bittersweet ending because of the way I've been treated over the years: loved, but hated, praised, but abhorred... people want me, but just not with sway on the site.
- Are we not in the FREE WORLD...
- THIS IS THE INTERNET, NOT REALITY. THE INTERNET IS NOT NECCESARILY AS FREE AS AMERICA.
- -and on the Internet, I'm not a sorry eighteen year old mentally handicapped man that is actually drawing Social Security Disability Benefits and gets so excited to cast a state-level ballot that he has trouble sleeping at night!
- On the Internet, there are sites, and on these sites, there are RULES, and in these RULES, your freedoms are restricted! Stop whining!
- ...where we are FREE to speak our minds...
- If you don't curse and don't go into sexual immorality and other unclean items, yes. Even if I still held power, I wouldn't ban you for all of this. I can't. You haven't committed a crime.
- ...express ourselves..."
- Define what you mean.
- If you mean like a man putting on women's clothing in a school, then no, you don't have that right.
- (SPECIAL ED RULE NUMBER ONE: "You must conform to society for society to conform to you. Following social norms and customs will migitate bullying; don't bring it upon yourself.")
- ..."express yourself" is not a good thing these days. It's worse than the devil's idea of "youth empowerment", which translates to "defy parents". "Express yourself" has been so twisted these days to mean wearing shirts that read "QUESTION AUTHORITY", cursing in public, transvestism, and heck, that's just in high school. I didn't even enter porn and, well... this is a CP wiki. It's not something I align with and not something I can neccesarily let you get away with, because it is, in this day and age, an act of evil.
- If you mean like a man putting on women's clothing in a school, then no, you don't have that right.
- Define what you mean.
- ...demonstrate...
- Almost all demonstrations result in a call to destroy me, demote me, remove me, do something to me or what I've estrablished on this wiki. This site has really warped my views when it comes to picketing and protest, and has cemented within me a cold and bitter hatred- yes, I HATE protesting/picketing/striking of (RL) dissent against the (RL) governments ordained by God. (Not to say that the CPFW's rule, or me, are ordained. After all, Internet =/= RL.)
- (Do NOT construe this to mean that I want protestors to die like they did in China in Tinnanamen Square. There are far better ways to silence whiners than to physically maim them with military vehicles, ways that don't result in bloodshed.)

(Not to say that the CPFW's rule, or me, are ordained. After all, Internet =/= RL.)
- ...and align with certain parties.
- Last time I checked, this was not a partisan realm. If you mean ideologies, then yes.
- I believed that you were a...
- ...benign...
- Meaning that I am not malacious (harmful), but also not beneficial. I'll give you that one.
- ...thoughtful...
- By thoughtful, do you mean that I respect you or care for you as a person, that I don't want harm to become the actual man behind the computer screen? Do you mean that I make attempts not to break your spirit or crush your creativity (except when I get REALLY angry, like this mishap here)?
- ...selfless user...
- I am NOT a selfless man, unfortunately. My mother can testify to that.
- Recent psychological exams which I have partaken in to apply for SSSI benefits show that I have a total lack of concern for others' needs and wants, BUT, fortunately, that I DO have concern if my needs and wants cause harm to others. That is to say, if my own needs and wants annoy someone, offend them, or mess with them in some way, I won't care... -BUT if my actions were actually to cause them physical or mental harm, like the idea of "stepping on others to climb", or performing corrupt or unholy acts that destroy a fellow man for my own gain, then yes, I do care for th other person and would NEVER tear them down to build myself up.
- This leads to my mother's ultimate paradox: '"[TurtleShroom] is a man with a heart of gold... -and yet is the most stubborn, selfish man I have ever see."
- What she means is that I will never purposely harm another, but if it doesn't cause true pain, it's my way or the highway. I have an inability to compromise, she says, unless harming another man comes into play. As an example, I'd run a business my way whether they like it or not, but I wouldn't get to the top by hurting anyone, but rather, relying on my own works.
- ...benign...
- [TurtleShroom is] so manipulative, inconsiderate...
- I am very manipulative, and I've admitted that freely several times in my time here. HOWEVER, my manipulative nature does not intentionally lead to the destruction of my fellow man for the advancement of myself. Back to my mother's paradox, my motives are pure, but I'm still selfish.... -but not greedy.
- -but if you want to call me inconsiderate, then what is your unrelenting demands to make Polaris more and more a Mary Sue, going from city, to county, to state, to SAD, to COUNTRTY, to SUPERPOWER?! Nothing I let you have pleased you! -and look at Austin's arguments! Those were better than mine!
- The wiki shouldn't be left at the station by the Train of Democracy.
- Oh, oh, here it comes... how does any anti-TurtleShroom post end?
- We need to govern ourselves freely, without oppression from this despot.
- Of course! The solution to this and the only effective counter to my flaws and twelve thousand edits is to DESTROY ME! HOW MANY TIMES DOES THAT MAKE IT? I've been couped more times than I can remember. I have become cynical and apathetic to whining, and I don't care what you think about how I govern, because your whining will NOT unseat me. I am like AT&T, or that silver guy from the Terminator, or Goddard, from Jimmy Neutron. If you break me up, and I join back together. If you dismantle my power, I'll always return. I love this wiki too much not to stick my gigantic, bulbous nose into its business. You can't rid the wiki of TurtleShroom. I'm an integral part of this wiki and am entrenched beyond what can fully be unseated.
Now, I would also like to say one last thing.
Sancho, I am sorry for snapping at you in the initial post. I was angry, and in my anger, I did wrong. Don't turn this into another coup d'etat... I'm sick of that and don't want the Fourth Quarter in Review to detail ANOTHER one...
That is all.

Okay, solving this should be easy peasy lemon squeezy.
- Polaris would no longer be #1 in terms of GDP ranking, and amount of crime.
- Club Penguin would be #1 in GDP ranking.
- Polaris would decrease in land size by 50%.
- Polaris to lower military protection.
- Remains independent republic.
- Quality of life to be around the 8-9 range.
The end!
