- A man stands on a nondescript floor in a nondescript plane of existence. You don’t know who he is or what he’s up to, but his armor bears the colors of the Godmodder Coalition of Convenience: Grey boots, blue leggings, and a cyan chestplate bearing a dark brown piece of metal in the shape of the Roman numerals “XXV”. That makes him your enemy.
- Time to **Destroy a Godmodder**.
- Godmodder: 10/10 HP
- {Carleah22}
- i slap bad god man. the sheer unoriginality of this materializes, and slaps me, sending me flying into him at extremely high speeds.
- {Update}
- [responding to Carleah]
- The Godmodder slaps you, sending you flying away from him!
- Godmodder: 10/10 HP
- {Splashcat}
- I shoot a Rocket launcher at the Godmodder, pelting him with heavily armed high speed raccoons.
- {Update}
- [responding to Splashcat]
- The attack's subversion of expectations blindsides the Godmodder! 1 damage!
- Godmodder: 9/10 HP
- {Nedben}
- The floor reveals itself to be working for the Inconvenient Alliance, and shoots the Godmodder with the planar ceiling at incredible high crushing speed!
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- Space bends and warps in an incredibly confusing way, and the Godmodder takes 1 damage before he reverts it to its original state!
- Godmodder: 8/10 HP
- {Nedben}
- Hm.
- The floor unleashes the power of a bicycle pump to overinflate a tire, and then drops the tire on the Godmodder to see how they counter it.
- {Splashcat}
- Congratulations, Godmodder! You've won a free stunt double experience from Action Movie Films! With this all-inclusive mandatory offer, you too can fall off cliffs, be lit on fire, crash cars, and jump out of airplanes! Protective equipment not included.
- {Karpinsky}
- I attempt to summon Chuck Norris, but...
- Then Gandalf the gray, and Gandalf the white
- And Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight
- And Benito Mussolini, and the Blue Meanie
- And Cowboy Curtis, and Jambi The Genie
- Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
- Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
- Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan
- Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
- all come out of nowhere lightning fast
- But I didn't actually finish summoning Chuck Norris, so they just all kick the Godmodder's butt instead.
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- The Godmodder makes the tire tired. Tired of falling. It hangs suspended in the air, like a tire swing. The Godmodder also starts hovering, because he no longer trusts the floor.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- The Godmodder says not to worry, he brought his own protective equipment! (See the opening post) With that and the help of his hovering, he goes through the first part of the stunt double experience unharmed, but...
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- In the second part, the numerous movie characters beat him up with their various powers! 1 damage!
- Godmodder: 7/10 HP (hovering)
- {Nedben}
- The floor gives the tire coffee. This is a horrible decision, as the tire proceeds to go super saiyan and spill coffee upside down, causing it to fly up and hit the Godmodder with unnecessarily hot coffee.
- {Karpinsky}
- I take an "o" and stick it in the Godmodder's status effect so that he is now hoovering.
- {Splashcat}
- I summon Franklin Delano Rosevelt to run against the now-hoovering Godmodder. As in 1932, FDR defeats Hoover in a landslide, burying him under tons of rock.
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- The Godmodder's future self arrives to counter this attack by vacuuming up the coffee, and then returns to the future.
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- The Godmodder does not counter this post, and instead uses it to travel back into the past and counter Nedben's attack.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- The Godmodder returns from the past, and gasps. He's already accepted the status effect "hoovering" - he can't reject it now! 1 damage!
- Godmodder: 6/10 HP (hoovering/Hoovering)
- {Carleah22}
- I kachow.
- {Nedben}
- The floor grabs a pickaxe and mines all the tons of rock into various generic ground ores, and uses it to build a giant robot that fights the vacuum cleaner effect.
- {Splashcat}
- I add artificial flavoring to the Godmodder's time loop, turning it into a froot loop. He gets mobbed by hungry toucans.
- {Karpinsky}
- The Godmodder's new vacuum abilities, derived from the hoovering status effect, were exactly what I expected! You see, the coffee was actually Klatchian coffee, and the Godmodder has just drank far too much of it. His entire body is now vibrating so fast that if he doesn't expend enough energy quickly, he'll go critical and explode!
- And by "quickly," I mean "within five seconds after drinking the coffee." As a standard round, under D&D rules, is six seconds, and since a round has passed since he drank the coffee, the Godmodder has failed to expend the energy in time. Also, there was the little time travel thing which made the Godmodder take even more time!
- {Update}
- [responding to Carleah22]
- Nondescriptly kachowing is not sufficient to damage the Godmodder!
- [responding to Nedben]
- The Godmodder allows his vaccuum cleaner effect to be destroyed. He has plans for revenge that won't work if he, in addition to being a Godmodder, is also Herbert Hoover.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- Ah, but the froot loop is in the past! Therefore, he has already taken whatever amount of damage the attack dealt (presumably 0)!
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- The Godmodder gasps again, and then starts running in a circle with his coffee-fueled energy in a desperate attempt to use it up. He breaks the sound barrier... the light barrier... *the time barrier! The Godmodder has travelled back in time!*
- You suddenly develop memories of seeing a future version of the Godmodder arrive from the future and immediately get mobbed by toucans that also arrive from the future. Right after the present Godmodder breaks the time barrier, the future Godmodder traps the toucans in their own time loop.
- However, the Klatchian coffee and the toucans dealt 1 damage!
- Half health. Time for the Godmodder to start using his actions. He announces his campaign for the 1936 Republican presidential primary.
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP (running in 1936 Republican presidential primary)
- {Karpinsky}
- I ask the Godmodder about his opinions on the folks over in Germany, it being 1936.
- Wrong answers will result in judgement from the electorate, which is for some reason made up of people from 2020.
- {Nedben}
- The super saiyan tire from before begins an extremely confusing voter mobilization program!
- {Splashcat}
- A primary run? I call out the Godmodder's shocking neglect for people of secondary color.
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- I point out that the XXV is 25, but they only have 10 HP, causing enough shame to result in physical damage
- {Update}
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- The Godmodder blinks nervously. "I have nothing but respect for the German people." He awaits the judgement of the electorate.
- [responding to Nedben]
- Voter turnout will be higher!
- [responding to Splashcat]
- The Godmodder doesn't even... doesn't even... what? He loses 1 advantage for his inability to rebut an illogical attack against him.
- [responding to Alastair Dragovich]
- The Godmodder smiles, unashamed. Yes, XXV is 25. Thank you for noticing.
- The Godmodder frowns. Fine. Fight illogic with illogic. Both other candidates are soon facing the same attack.
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP

- 1936 Republican presidential primary:
- Serious candidates: William Borah (-1), Alfred Landon (-1), the Godmodder (-1)
- Status: Primary elections not yet started
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- I RUN FOR Democratic office just to grind the winner under my metaphorical bootheels.
- {Karpinsky}
- alastair no!
- I turn Alastair’s application into a Republican president primary candidacy so he doesn’t get steamrolled by FDR
- {Nedben}
- The Floor ensures that there won't be any particular cheating on the votecount itself by getting a votecount program started in advance! Election judges sign up in droves.
- {Splashcat}
- I legally change the Godmodder's name to Edgar J. Hoover, hurting his reputation by association with the Hoover who recently botched the economy
- {Update}
- [responding to Alastair Dragovich and Karpinsky]
- Thanks to Karpinsky saving you from a catastrophic error, you are now in the Republican presidential primary. It will be an uphill battle, however.
- [responding to Nedben]
- Non-supernatural election tampering is now more difficult, thanks to your harnessing of the civic-mindedness of Americans.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- The Godmodder uses his previous Hooverness to use the Curse of Repetitiveness to protect his name and reputation.
- The Godmodder makes a resolute face. He wanted to see his personal opponent crushed in a landslide worse than the 1932 presidential election, but it seems that he will have to cause that himself. Because America is a country of hard work! YEAH! +1 support.
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP
- All voters turnout +1, non-supernatural election tampering difficulty +1
- 1936 Republican presidential primary:

- Date: March 1936 (New Hampshire primary)
- {Karpinsky}
- I combine William Borah, Alfred Landon, and Alastair Dragovich in an alchemical process that results in ... Alastair Dragovich.
- {Nedben}
- Reality realizes that the electorate being from 2020 despite this being the 1936 Republican presidential primary is concerning, and prepares to manifest Caster-class Servant Helena Blavatsky to monitor the situation by UFO. Since she is Russian, she proceeds to...not vote in the election, and begin investigating what's going on!
- {Splashcat}
- I spread memetic hazards through American newspapers, causing people to remember Alastair Dragovich as having a vague yet illustrious political career.
- {Carleah22}
- I become Alastair’s running mate.
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- I proceed to come up with a stunning, flashy political campaign with a period appropriate - but future friendly - political platform!
- {Update}
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- William Borah and Alfred Landon disappear under mysterious circumstances. Their bodies are never found, much to the despair of their families. Suspicion soon falls on the Godmodder, although nothing can be proven. -2 support to him. +3 support to Alastair due to him gaining their politician experience.
- [responding to Nedben]
- Helena Blavatsky discovers that Borah and Landon were not murdered by the Godmodder in an attempt to eliminate his rivals, and instead were forcibly subsumed into an up-and-coming candidate by the name of Alastair Dragovich. What does she do?
- [responding to Splashcat]
- You do so. +1 support to Alastair.
- [responding to Carleah22]
- You endorse Dragovich, with an implied request to be named the Vice Presidential nominee. Alastair will have to decide who deserves that nomination himself. However, due to your obscurity, your endorsement matters little. +0 support.
- [responding to Alastair Dragovich]
- Your campaign, untainted by scandal, increases in popularity. +1 support.
- The Godmodder cooperates with the investigation into him, and publicly expresses his regret for the (presumed) deaths of Borah and Landon. +1 support.
- Somehow, the Godmodder is neck and neck with a formerly-obscure politician named Alastair Dragovich. And then Dragovich pulls ahead.
- "DRAGOVICH WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE"
- - The front page of the New York Times, March 11, 1936
- (The Godmodder's eye twitches. "Blavatsky. You've got one month to break the news about Borah and Landon as gently as you can, or I come out swinging.")
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP
- All voters turnout +1, non-supernatural election tampering difficulty +1
- 1936 Republican presidential primary:
- Serious candidates: The Godmodder (-1, won 0), Alastair Dragovich (+0, won 1)
- Date: April 1936 (Primaries: Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania)
- {Nedben}
- Helena opts to not interfere in foreign elections and instead goes to a local library to read some publicly available history books, trying to see if there's any divergence between it and known history. Additionally, she reads some newspapers to see if anyone mentions the Godmodder's backstory. Is he running as an American native, or as a United States Resident at the time of the Constitution's ratification (a legal possibility, given time travel)? Is he claiming home state advantage anywhere?
- (Secondarily, Blavatsky opts to let the de-alchemized candidates break the news or drop themselves. They'll come in swinging automatically!)
- {Carleah22}
- I realize that Alastair just consumed two candidates, and attempt to save them!
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- In an out of the way place I proceed to unsubsume the candidates, since this was done without my consent. I make sure that they're okay, unharmed, and do not remember the experience for both trauma prevention and secrecy purposes. I also put it on my to do list to fix every pothole in New Hampshire as thanks for their turnout and votes.
- Wait, I haven't tested the Actin limit! I do so by attempting to fix every Pothole in New Hampshire
- {Karpinsky}
- I produce the now unsubsumed candidates at a major press conference in which they both endorse Alastair Dragovich. They then go back to whatever they were doing before the election.
- {Splashcat}
- I give Alastair supplements of a new charisma-boosting drug called Elect. Then I remove its electrons, granting him an infusion of pure Elect ions. He can't lose now!
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- There appears to be exactly one primary divergence between this history and "baseline" history: The Godmodder. Supposedly born in Georgia under the name of "Orwell Olaf" (undoubtedly not his real name), he has risen from mayor to state-level representative to one of Georgia's Senators, and is now making a bid for the Presidency. One of the newspapers Helena reads mentions that Herbert Hoover and Olaf were seen together on November 9, 1932 (the day after the election).
- [responding to Carleah22 and Alastair Dragovich]
- Alastair de-subsumes the candidates. Fortunately, they appear none the worse for wear. GODMODDER ACTION INTERRUPT However, before he can erase their memories, the Godmodder teleports in (wearing his armor instead of the suit he's wore for the last few months), grabs Borah and Landon while denouncing Dragovich as a "would-be tyrant just like your ilk", and teleports out. -3 support to Alastair due to him losing their political experience.
- (The Godmodder does not use mind-control or outright lie to them. He claims that he and Dragovich are from 84 years in the future, possessing technology so advanced it seems undistinguishable from magic, and that Dragovich is running for the nomination solely for the purpose of stopping him. He claims that Dragovich is assisted by another half dozen or so people from the future. He claims that if he had not travelled back in time, millions would have been killed by tyrants by 1945. He certainly misrepresents the truth, however. And he is good at that.)
- Also, the action limit is 1 per turn. Good idea checking, though.
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- Borah and Landon do, in fact, appear at a press conference. It is one organized by the Godmodder, however, and they endorse him. They talk of being kidnapped, and blindfolds, and male voices with German accents. +2 support to the Godmodder. +1 support to the Godmodder due to his name being cleared.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- You do so. +1 support to Alastair.
- (The Godmodder: "You're lucky I hate Roosevelt more than I hate you, Dragovich. If I only cared about the primaries, "Dragovich was deranged; kidnapped Borah and Landon for occult ritual" would be at the top of every newspaper in the country. You'd have reached that critical mass of hate where people fabricate every allegation they can think of. You'd have been lucky to win an election for dogcatcher if you were the only candidate and millions of rabid dogs were terrorizing the city.")
- Even without that, the public's opinion has swung sharply against Dragovich. He loses all five states.
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP
- All voters turnout +1, non-supernatural election tampering difficulty +1
- 1936 Republican presidential primary:
- Serious candidates: The Godmodder (+2, won 5), Alastair Dragovich (-2, won 1)
- Date: May 1936 (Final primaries: California, South Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia, Oregon, New Jersey)
- {Nedben}
- The millions of rabid dogs hypothetically terrorizing the city suddenly become not-rabid and also materialize! Millions of not-rabid dogs flee militarily and begin building Theosophist UFOs in the wilderness from magical ether. Blavatsky is believed responsible due to accidentally de-hypotheticalizing them in a magecraft experiment, but due to being an independently operating Servant who just sort of appeared there's no real monitoring of her. Why are the dogs building FTL spacecraft from magic? That's a surprise, as even the dogs are unsure why they're preparing the fleet.
- {Karpinsky}
- I reveal the Godmodder’s voting record! He’s secretly a Democrat running in the Republican primary to ruin any actual candidate’s chances of challenging FDR!
- {Splashcat}
- I summon a crack team of Russian hackers. Their skillz are so 1337 that they can hack newspapers, insinuating targeted ads into classified pages and suppressing the Godmodder's own publicity campaign.
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- In a freak incident, millions of dogs arrive in a city from seemingly nowhere, and then depart just as suddenly. You (plural) and the Godmodder are the only ones who know why, and you (singular) are the only one who knows what the spacecraft will be used for once they're done.
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- It's certainly suspicious how both Borah and Landon were outright kidnapped, and Olaf's voting record isn't as party-line as some would like... but there's nothing outright damning. Still, -1 support.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- They do so, and the Godmodder's campaign suffers due to a decreased media presence. -1 support.
- But even so, the Godmodder is significantly ahead in the polls, and by the end of May, it seems likely that he will receive the nomination.
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP

- 1936 Republican presidential primary:
- Serious candidates: The Godmodder (+0, won 11), Alastair Dragovich (-2, won 1)
- Date: June 1936 (Nomination soon to be awarded)
- {Nedben}
- The UFO construction proceeds. The UFO mothership, the Shambhala, is now underway, using the Holy Grail and the Sanat Kumara as core production utilities. The dogs prepare to launch...evacuation missions! That's right, in case the world gets destroyed, they'll have the population flee through theosophic chains of being to escape whatever the problem, be it war, Death Star, or universe collapse! Take that, potential collateral damage!
- {Splashcat}
- In a masterstroke of "investigstive journalism", I reveal the Godmodder's fake identity for what it is! The Godmodder, being from the future, does not have legal US citizen papers circa the 1930s, certainly not ones that match his age. Thus, he is ineligible to run for President!
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- I, meanwhile, have my legal US citizen papers circa 1930s! I secretly am surprised, but I take it in stride and promote the fact that I am pure, 100% verifiable American! However, out of my distaste for mudslinging, I refrain from defaming the Godmodder for it - if I am to win the election, my own efforts will be honest and self promoting! Apparently this won't stop others from dragging the Godmodder down, but since it's not directly on my campaign trail I'm not going to deride them for it.
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- The spaceship and preemptive evacuation preparations will be complete relatively soon - the dogs aren't sure how many months it'll take, but they'll be ready before they're needed.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- It was established in the May 1936 update that the Godmodder, better known as Orwell Olaf, was, as far as anyone knows, born in Georgia! Therefore, due to the precise phrasing you used, your "investigstive(sic) journalism" is ineffective. -0 support.
- [responding to Alastair Dragovich]
- Your display of patriotism is moderately effective, but ultimately futile. +1 support.
- On June 12, 1936, Orwell Olaf (the Godmodder) is awarded the 1936 Republican presidential nomination, and chooses Frank Knox as his running mate.
- With no serious opposition, Franklin Delano Roosevelt becomes the 1936 Democratic presidential nominee on June 27, and chooses John Nance Garner as his running mate.
- The Godmodder is no longer seen as one candidate among many - instead, he is one of the two men who will become President in a little over four months (5 updates). +3 support.
- Godmodder: 5/10 HP

- The Presidency is a noticeable aberration. Someone more willing to do election interference is necessary. The Counter Force that enters the World opts to summon...Assassin-class John Wilkes Booth, who has a special affinity for assassinating presidents! He sets to work hiring a bunch of assassins to harass the Godmodder's presidential campaign by assaulting him with disposable time-traveling assassins retasked from the WW2 vortex around Godzilla! The onslaught of assassins getting killed by the Godmodder's automatic counters to the assassination attempts proceeds to mess with his publicity!
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- In the meantime, I finally fix all of the potholes in New Hampshire and use it to vouch for and support Franklin Roosevelt's presidency campaign!
- {Splashcat}
- I start a grassroots campaign in support of FDR, animating lawns the country over to go out and fetch FDR campaign signs to put on themselves.
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- The numerous assassination attempts on the Godmodder only serve to increase his popularity due to sympathy! +1 support to him.
- [responding to Alastair Dragovich]
- Your generous acts and your status as one of the two serious candidates for the Republican nomination mark you as a person to be listened to. When you endorse FDR, people listen. +2 support to FDR.

- The amount of FDR lawn signs increases. +1 support to FDR.

- I Proceed to hire a FULL BLOODED AMERICAN campaign team FOR AMERICANS since this is an AMERICAN CAMPAIGN by the AMERICAN PEOPLE for the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Because AMERICA!
- The Patriotism Campaign team is then gifted to FDR while I prepare my next publicity stunt
- {Nedben}
- John Wilkes Booth hires Avenger Antonio Salieri to go around playing sad dramatic piano and sad dramatic piono at the Godmodder's campaign events, always creating annoying unfavorable tension before he's chased off. Also the pionos get loose and get into convoluted sword-mastery questing, but that's probably not relevant to the presidency.

- {Carleah22}
- I work with FDR, fixing problems and campaigning across America!
- {Karpinsky}
- I reveal that the Godmodder was born, not in the US state of Georgia, but in the Republic of Georgia, in the Caucasus. This means he was not only not born a US citizen, but shares a nationality with Josef Stalin! He is completely ineligible to run for president!

- In the May 1936 update, it was established that the Godmodder was "one of Georgia's Senators"! I've spent a few minutes on Wikipedia and I can't find any evidence that there has ever been a position named "Senator" in the country of Georgia, so therefore the Godmodder must have been born in the state of Georgia.

- It is not too late: I threaten that my famous and widespread munchy crunchies (cereals laced with cocaine) will stop being produced if I can't win the election to legalize them. There gotta be a lot of people interested in my goals.
- (of course I would never stop producing those even if I did not get elected but they don't know that)

- FDR will bring aid to this country! The Godmodder, who I acknowledge as a worthy opponent, is challenged to a debate! It'll be televised across the country.

- I stick adjectives onto FDR's campaign team, making it a super duper mega extra awesome double expert very professional elite campaign team of destiny! Now it's definitely better than the Godmodder's!
- {Nedben}
- Antonio Salieri realizes this is a Destroy the Godmodder game! He channels all the killing intent this ultimately is for into "Dio Santissimo Misericordia de mi", which with the power of grammatically incorrect Italian...decreases the Godmodder's resistance to Arts cards for 3 turns! That's right, he's reducing the Godmodder's ability to counter setup techniques!

- You arrange for a debate between Orwell Olaf and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Congratulations, you've somehow discovered a way to stretch this out even more.
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- Orwell Olaf respectfully declines, due to the fact that almost everyone in the electorate (because they're from 2020 due to a player action) knows what the Emoluments clause, also known as the Title of Nobility clause, is!

- The Godmodder quickly ropes FDR into the Uno game so as not to look like a complete buffoon. He deals seven cards to FDR and Salieri, but keeps the two he already has. FDR, Salieri, and the Godmodder are now playing a game of Uno before the debate starts. We are officially three levels (fighting a Godmodder -> 1936 presidential election -> an October 29 presidential debate -> an Uno game between the two candidates and Antonio Salieri) of distraction deep.

- I point out that the Godmodder cannot actually end on a wild. Everyone knows that, come on!
- After he's drawn the cards as penalty for that, I call out the Godmodder for not saying Uno when he got down to one card! Now he has to draw even more cards as penalty!

- I hold a speech scripted by some author I hired. It is portraying me as the sympathic underdog trying to keep up with two giants who are result of their super comptent teams while I am the lone fighter for the common man.

- I begin a debate training montage for FDR. We seek the mystics of the Political Mountains, the wisdom of the Texan Gunpeople, the wise words of the Webster-Merriam Dictionary (Yes, it existed back then.), and the detailed debate scrolls of the monks of the ancient, lost art of "X-Box Live", whatever that could be.

- The Godmodder still can't end on a wild card, dangit!
- Also, I mentally project the words "I lost The Game" into his mind.
- Under the rules of The Game, the Godmodder must now announce that he has lost The Game out loud, for all to hear.
- But the judges of the Uno game think he's talking about the Uno game, and interpret it as him conceding! The Godmodder is no longer in the game of Uno!

- [responding to Karpinsky]
- The Godmodder seizes on the first sentence of your message. He certainly doesn't plan to end on a wild card. But to play a wild card, something that he is currently doing? That's perfectly acceptable. A major facet of Godmodding is finding one hole in an attack and slipping out through it. And so he does. "Also, Uno."

- {Franciacorta}
- I vote for the Green Party (which the Godmodder is decidedly not a member of) in the election. Of course, as I am Split's daughter and at the time wearing the family heirloom that are his glasses, every party is green. The paradoxicality of this brings reality to a grinding halt for approximately seven seconds, before it restructures itself so that the Godmodder is not part of any party at all, losing him many potential voters and allies.

He's also hooked to a Descendant Brand polygraph, so he cannot lie in any of these questions - he must tell the truth or decline the question. The latter of which will absolutely look bad for him.

It turns out that he was running for President as well, and in a double super secret player-arranged Republican meeting, has stolen the nomination from the Godmodder. How did he do this? Simple. The Republicans don't like it when their nominee plays Uno during a debate.

- I ask the Godmodder "What is the answer to a question which is not answerable within the formal system of your platform?" Either he can't answer, meaning his platform is incomplete and he loses popularity, or he answers, in which case his platform is inconsistent, causing him to again lose popularity.
- {Karpinsky}
- I play a yellow 3.
- {Nedben}
- Salieri does in fact play the yellow five anyway...
- Only for John Wilkes Booth to attack the godmodder with a question that's an attack! He'll probably just answer defensively to block it, but hey who knows what happens with word-based assassination attempts in the middle of a debate.
- {Karpinsky}
- Lindbergh's airplane suddenly falls out of the ceiling and lands on the Godmodder, not hurting or even touching anyone else.
- How did that happen? Well, it might be because I stretched the Godmodder out so he'd make a nice canopy, then poked holes in him so we could still see the sky. It might be because I personally steered the plane down so it'd hit him. Or it might just be that the Godmodder's unlucky.
- Either way, he's just been hit by a plane; he clearly needs medical attention and isn't up for any further debating.

- [responding to hungry visitor]
- +1 support to you, due to... whatever it is you did.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- The Godmodder: "Speaking informally: Yeah. That is one such answer."
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- You do so.
- [responding to Nedben]
- You do so.
- The Godmodder parries the attack with the rhetorical rapier that is his sharp wit. Something like that. Yes. Totally.
- [responding to Karpinsky]
- As the plane falls on the Godmodder, with your Player-tier reflexes, you see the barest hint of a smile on his face.
- GODMODDER ACTION+SACRIFICE 1 HP: Why yes, he does need medical attention! It's a good thing he wasn't severely injured and will be well enough for public appearances in a few days! Without the Godmodder, there's obviously no reason to continue the debate; Lindbergh and Lidenbergh honestly have no chance, and neither does the CEO of Muncy Crunchys Inc. Oh, and that Uno game? Also gone. In retrospect, it was ahead of its time. Also, I am pivoting to the center. Vote for me. +4 support to the Godmodder. Let's get this election over with already.
- End-of-turn things occur.
- The Godmodder: Wait. I'm neck and neck with FDR? How is he this good?!
- Godmodder: 4/10 HP
- 1936 presidential election:
- All voters turnout +1, non-supernatural election tampering difficulty +1
- Serious candidates: The Godmodder (+15, elite campaign team: +2 support per campaign turn), Franklin Delano Roosevelt (+15, super duper mega extra awesome double expert very professional elite campaign team of destiny: +2 support per campaign turn, Rogue of Hope: +1 support per campaign turn, italian sentence-induced reduction in counter ability), hungry visitor (+5), Charles Lindbergh (+0), Carl Lidenbergh (+3)
- ELECTION IN 1 UPDATE
- {Nedben}
- Salieri, Booth, and Blavatsky form an election night commentary panel, monitoring the votecount releases as advance voting begins and stuff like that while advertising voter registration. Let's get ready to ELECT! A! PRESIDEEEEENT!
- {hungry visitor}
- Damnit, it all went so well and it still wasn't good enough... I need to do something more drastic. Or else I won't be able to rule the world...
- I prepare my men for the great day, buying weaponry from shady people.
- {Splashcat}
- I enter five more people with the same name as the Godmodder in the race, confusinf people and causing thrm to split the vote!
- {Alastair Dragovich}
- I proceed to legally get the 'Crunchy Munchies' cereal company under FDR's name, thus transferring all of those voters to him!
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- They do so. +1 voter turnout.
- [responding to hungry visitor]
- You do so. You now have a miniscule armed following.
- [responding to Splashcat]
- Unfortunately, ballot access laws prevent candidates from being entered onto the ballot this close to an election.
- [responding to Alastair Dragovich]
- You do so. -1 support to hungry visitor. +1 support to FDR. FDR will later divest himself from the company, but the association has been planted in people's minds.
- The Godmodder uses his action to run last-minute attack ads against FDR, but they are not targeted towards the 2020 electorate, which cancels out the bonus from the Italian sentence. -2 support to FDR.
- Orwell Olaf: "Alright. I've pulled ahead. Good."
- End-of-turn things occur.
- Orwell Olaf: "What? No."
- Godmodder: 4/10 HP
- 1936 presidential election:
- All voters turnout +2, non-supernatural election tampering difficulty +1
- Serious candidates: The Godmodder (+17, elite campaign team: +2 support per campaign turn), Franklin Delano Roosevelt (+17, super duper mega extra awesome double expert very professional elite campaign team of destiny: +2 support per campaign turn, Rogue of Hope: +1 support per campaign turn, italian sentence-induced reduction in counter ability)
- Orwell Olaf: “*No.*”
- TIEBREAKER ANALYSIS: FDR
- **1936 United States presidential election**
- *From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For related races, see 1936 United States elections.*
- > The 1936 United States presidential election was the 38th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 3, 1936. In the midst of the Great Depression, incumbent Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Republican Senator Orwell Olaf of Georgia.
- The Godmodder: "AAAAAARGHH!"
- The Godmodder takes 2 damage!
- THE GODMODDER, AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT: "Fine. Fine. I'll crush you, and then we'll see how Roosevelt does without his little supernatural campaign team."
- You are back on the featureless plane.
- The Godmodder is inside a giant, hovering, metallic, heavily armed, tie.
- The Godmodder: 2/10 HP
- Tie [PG-Boss]: 10/10 HP, 3 A
- (Base Player HP: 6)
- The Godmodder: "Fun fact: This game has entities. The campaign teams were technically entities. I mean, they weren't formatted like entities, but... anyway, that's not the point!"
- The Godmodder starts pressing buttons on a control panel, and the tie opens fire on... rolls dice... @Splashcat .
- The Godmodder: "Huh. Would you look at that, this game has free-action countering. Should've expected that."
- {Splashcat}
- I close fire. Poof, no more fire.
- {King_Fuffy}
- I throw cheese [this part was edited] at the tie. The tie's HP bar turns into fondue.
- {Nedben}
- Now that the Godmodder is back on the featureless plane, the Floor can resume shooting him! The Floor uses a tie breaker (like a jawbreaker, but for ties) to untie the tie, reducing its armor!
- {Splashcat}
- Then I prepare a detailed dress code for Destroy A Godmodder and point out how the tie violates it, on grounds such as "too shiny", "didn't check your weapons at the door", "no oversized items", "doesn't have a passport", "doesn't have a hunting license", "no clothing that completely encloses the wearer", "no electronics", "no electrons", "too baryonic", and "no nouns." After such a faux pas, the tie is completely ostracized from polite society and the upper echelons of business.
- {Update}
- [responding to Splashcat]
- Your counter is moderately successful! Only 1 damage to you!
- [responding to King_Fuffy]
- (In response to the version of your post where you said "the cheese"): The Godmodder: "Wait, which cheese? Where?" The Godmodder gets distracted looking for previous mentions of cheese, and the fondue deals 1.5 damage to the tie before the Godmodder returns the HP bar to normal!
- [responding to Nedben]
- The Godmodder: “*Not another tiebreaker!*” 1.5 tie breaker damage!
- [responding to Splashcat]
- 1 reputational damage!
- The tie launches a barrage of missiles at... rolls dice @Nedben but more Nedben .
- The Godmodder: 2/10 HP
- Tie [PG-Boss]: 6/10 HP, 3 A
- {Nedben}
- The Floor opens up to reveal missile launcher launchers, which shoot missile launchers that steal the barrage of missiles and shoot them back at the Tie!
- {Carleah22}
- I punch my way in!
- Then I unleash my Texas gun! Channeling pure Texan and American powers, I fire a round of pure liberty beams at the Tie?
- {Nedben}
- The Floor then tells everybody about the Godmodder's faux pas, allowing impolite society and the lower echelons of business to complain on social media, sparking class warfare that results in the Godmodder's reputation being further tarnished as the straw that broke the camel's back of the Staff Constructed Society of arbitrary reputational attacks! Rakshas wyldwide are enraged.
- {King_Fuffy}
- I stage a robbery. The Tie, as a bank teller, gets stage fright and is shot by my very real gun.
- {Update}
- [responding to Nedben]
- Your counter is moderately successful! Only 1 damage to you!
- [responding to Carleah22]
- 1 liberty damage!
- [responding to Nedben]
- The Godmodder, confused, makes you an offer you can't refuse: The attack deals 2 damage, and he never has to try to figure out what the second half of that post means. 2 backroom dealing damage!
- [responding to King_Fuffy]
- 1 gun damage!
- The tie fires dozens of lasers at... rolls dice @Carleah22 .
- The Godmodder: 2/10 HP
- Tie [PG-Boss]: 2/10 HP, 3 A
- {King_Fuffy}
- I use a shootgun. By that, I mean I shoot a gun that shoots a gun that shoots a gun and so on until there are 1000 guns. When that happens, all the guns aim at the Tie and shoot.
- {Carleah22}
- I counter, using LIBERTY to blast the s in laser into c, turning them into a army of ninja lacer’s! They uh, make lace. They run over to the AG side, weaving things of lace.
- Then, I proceed to grab a cannon, and fire out the homestuck epilogues, the canons firing from the cannon hitting the Tie, confusing everyone present!
- {Nedben}
- The floor heals by using Floor Repair Juice, the stuff of featureless planes that can get broken by attacks but the damage just seems to glitch away eventually.
- Since the Godmodder doesn't have to figure it out, the answer is that the Staff Grace (conviction-representing concept/bodypart/enchanted item) of a raksha from Exalted allows them to make attacks based on societal reputation in made-up societies. It is very confusing and generally used to open up attacks on other virtues in combat storytelling. Good luck with Graceful Wicked Masques or whatever.
- {Update}
- [responding to King_Fuffy]
- 1 multigun damage!
- [responding to Carleah22]
- Your counter is successful! No damage to you!
- 1 Homestuck damage!
- [responding to Nedben]
- You heal 1 HP!
- The tie is destroyed! The Godmodder takes 1 damage!
- The Godmodder: "No! This was supposed to be a big climactic battle! But then you spent three voidic days on 1936!"
- The Godmodder: 1/10 HP
- DELIVER FINAL ATTACK
- {King_Fuffy}
- I build a fondue shotgun. Then I use it on the Godmodder.
- {Nedben}
- Sword. Staff. Cup. Ring. Heart. The five graces composing the main section of floor (which was actually an enemy raksha!) reveal themselves, splitting the boundary between shape and unshaped and OH GOD THEY'RE FEEDING MAWS THEY'RE EATING THE DELICIOUS FONDUE-COVERED GODMODDER's emotional energy
- {Carleah22}
- I offer the Godmodder a chance to work together. They could become a good guy!
- If they accept, I deflect the other attacks.
- {Update}
- [responding to King_Fuffy]
- The Godmodder smashes your fondue shotgun to pieces before you can fire it. Unfortunately for him, this results in some of the fondue getting on him.
- [responding to Nedben]
- The Godmodder backs away from the knockoff Tarot suits, desperately throwing pieces of the tie at them. And then he falls into a "boundary between shape and unshaped".
- [responding to Carleah22]
- From very high up, you hear the Godmodder scream "NEVEEERRR!"
- And then the Godmodder falls out of the ceiling onto the floor, with several large chunks missing from his body. He staggers to his feet and tries to levitate off the ground, but fails.
- The Godmodder: 0/10 HP
- The Godmodder suddenly stiffens up, turns red, falls on his side, and vanishes in a puff of smoke.
- **VICTORY!**
