>The New Face Challenge Contest Winner

I think it is safe to say that the winner by popularity is Bongmaster’s picture! Congratulations Bong! I’ll be sure to put it to great use!

However, though you may have won by popularity. There is still the Overlord’s personal choice award.

The winner is,

EVERYONE!!!!!!

In this community run by an overlord such as myself, we are all equal in every way. Therefore this makes you all winners in my book, and each of your entries will have a special place.

Thank you for your participation.

>A New Year!!!

There was much fun in 08. I went to Honolulu, got legally sloshed, became the Overlord I never thought I was, and met one of my best minions in person. Wow… I have come a long way, now 09 is here! Let us move forward into another year of proper dictatorship and finding ways of controlling open source.

As a side note, the new face challenge is now over. After some polling is done at the Slackers forum I will get back to you on who wins. In the meantime feel free to see the contributions by my minions:

>The new face challenge!

Hello, this is your overlord speaking.

Quite a few of you read my blog (I hope) I am Uru and so can you. And those of you who frequent my blog know what my profile picture looks like:

It’s high time that I go for something new. But being the slackerish overlord that I am, I decided that I want to hold a contest in my own honor!

This is open to anyone. All you need to do is find a picture of me, and photoshop a face over it. That’s it, and then submit it to me on either my blog or at the Slackers Forum. The winner gets to see their winning picture of me being used on my blog. Smile

The contest ends January 1st 12:00am PST. Good luck!

>About me: Part 2

Now I know I made a blog post awhile back called “About me”, but looking back, I don’t think I talked about myself nearly as much as I should have. Hence why I am presenting you with About me: PART II!!!!

A couple years ago it was brought to my attention that if you translated my name into D’ni, you would see “Place of coming” or “Place of gathering” if you will (sorry, the coming part sounds too disgusting). That alone proves that I am the chosen one. And as chosen one I’d better get what I want dammit.

Why, as far as I’ve been able to recall I have been one to gather around. Face it, it makes me, me. Other people are just upset that they don’t have the gift that I possess.

It is my fate, my destiny. To tell everyone how to behave in the community, what to post, what forum to join, who you can and can’t pal around with, what time to go to the bathroom and what you can and cannot eat.

But even then I have to remember, I’m only as darling as my peers cut me out to be. I am a version of myself that I never even knew existed and without various people that part of me never would have woken up to smell the coffee (which for some reason smelled like hazelnuts).

I am Uru and so can you!

>New Blog Rule

I have enabled comment moderation. Someone in my last blog entry decided to make a post, then delete it.

While I admire how people in the community take it upon themselves to rewrite history. I’m just a control freak, if you’re going to rewrite history then please, let me help rewrite it for you.

I will accept all comments made. Even the ones that go against me, because even I need someone to chew on and ridicule.

>About me

You might ask yourself, “My great Overlord, why? Why do you express things the way you do?”

Well, like a lot of other dictators, there is one persons opinion that I value above all others. Mine. And community, I have a lot of opinions, I have overwhelmed my ability to document myself, so much that I use all the forums I take over as my personal file cabinet. I thought having my own minions of the “Slacker Army” would well… Cut some slack. But here’s a little secret. When the post’s are submitted, I’m still typing and talking. And right now all that opinion is going to waste. Well no MORE (sorry couldn’t resist). It’s time to impregnate this community with my mind.

I’m not afraid to come out and say something. This blog is my truth and my truth alone. I deliver my truth hot and hard. Fast and furious. So either accept my way of thinking or get the hell out of the way, because somebody might get hurt and it sure as hell ain’t gonna be me (it’s gonna be you).

Think you can handle it?

Pink Gerbils are the 12th sign of the apocalypse.

BAM! That’s me off the cuff. Blunt and to the point. No editing (unless it’s someone disagreeing with my thinking pattern), I think it, and I say it, sometimes I skip the first step and just say it. In the end I always win.

Bean bag chairs are jealous of potato sacks because they are easier to eat.

See? I’m a loose canon when I wanna be. I tell it like it is. Get used to it or change to another webpage (don’t change to another webpage). Because this blog is for Uru’s Heroes. And who are the Heroes? The people who read this blog.

Just because I haven’t put a lot of thought into this blog, doesn’t mean you don’t have to put much thought into my blog either. I want you to read my entries carefully. Savor my ideas. Memorize pertinent passages. Eat with it, sleep with it, go to the bathroom with it, let nature take it’s course.

Because what I have dictated is nothing less than a Constitution for the Tomalaladingdong Nation. And, like quite a few of my fellow MOUL board posters, I hold my truths to be self evident, which is why I do absolutely no research behind what I post anywhere.

I don’t need to. The only research I need everyday is a long hard look in the mirror. For this blog is my story, and as such, it’s an Uruite’s story.

I read this quote recently.

“I celebrate myself, and sing with myself,
And what I assume, you shall assume.”

And who was that “I” in the quote? It’s me.

Bottom line: Read this blog. Be me.

I am Uru and so can you!

>Friday Night Open Thread

Have I told you lately that I love me?

I remember a time when I could talk to myself and have the best conversations. I always knew what to say to impress myself. Maybe someday I’ll setup a debate. I’m what you call a formidable opponent. A Master debater if you will.

That reminds me. I wonder when my fanclub T Shirts will come out. The limited edition ones that have my real face on them are currently available in the meter room. As my face is too amazing to post everywhere. Looking directly at it may blind you. Sadly they are not available to people who aren’t in the meter room. But I am working on public iron outs you can download for free. One with a picture of me in Uru pointing at you with the words “I’ll be modding you” under it. Maybe a “I kissed Tomala’s ass and all I got was this lousy T Shirt” as the official GOGU shirt. But that’s a work in progress.
