And on the pedestal these words appear...
[x] My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings
 
[X] Seven Seals, Seven Rings, Seven Brides for the Scarlet King

Come the seventh, full unwinding, and all the bells will ring...

[X] My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings

We're Proud, with a capital P, and we might just end up with all seven of the 'Sins' under our dominion, to fuel our rise to the main antagonist of the planet, but the thing about those seven traits is... that they aren't, technically speaking, sins.

As in, you could have all seven of them, and still follow the laws, even their spirits. If you were strong enough.

I want to be able to say that even though we're a Daemon, we aren't evil. Because the looks on the faces of the protagonists would be hilarious, and also because there's very little difference between benevolence and sufficiently advanced pragmatism, so being the best ruler in existence actually entails being the best ruler.

Ozymandias seems like the fate we'd like to avoid.
 
Does PMMM exist as an anime here? If it does, we should consider talking about it in class and see who is the most upset/irate at the thought of the force creating magical girls being evil.

Edit: You know with us being a blonde kid symbolizing Pride, I can't help but be reminded of Lucemon. Is crowning ourself with all 7 deadly sins possible? Obviously Pride will remain as the main crown.

Crowning yourself with all seven Sins is not only possible, but necessary if you want to ascend into a deitic form as Side Character and Stardust were suggesting.

We cannot be Slothful. We're proud of our diligence.

You can actually hold both the Sin and the corresponding Virtue simultaneously, it just takes some very interesting mental gymnastics. TO be slothful and diligent, for example, you might avoid work if it was unnecessary but pursue it with complete and utter dedication if it was necessary. The only Virtue you would never be able to pursue, no matter the circumstance, would be Humility.In fact, if you were powerful enough, an entity of Humility equal to you might be spontaneously generated just to balance out the sheer impossibility of your effect on reality.

Well, evil is very often a question of perspective. Nobody is ever empirically evil in their own opinion. The Native Americans and the Colonists both thought the other side was certainly not good, but we certainly don't call either of them evil. If you do decide to become a benevolent dictator, the question will then become whether everyone needs to concern themselves with your benevolence or your dictatorship. That'll be...interesting.

Assume that all modern media either exists or has a similar enough analog to be recognizable. It makes it easier for me to include pop culture references.

Currently, we have a tie between OZYMANDIAS and SCP-231-7, at 10 votes each. I'll lock the vote in roughly six hours. If there's still a tie, I'll just roll dice to pick one.

I'd rather not be inspired by the rape-dude of superevil. He got a lot closer to beating literally everything, sure, but he lost the moment he had to give up the high road (so pretty much instantly :V ). If you're not strong enough to rule the world without taking the easy way out of things, what's the point?

[/blatantly going for Lawful Neutral King of Everything]

Hmm? All the material I've ever read implies that his victory is inevitable, and all anyone can ever do is try to delay it.

Like Lord English, he is already there. Waiting for all existence to fall into his maw, as it inevitably will.

He screws over everything, sure, but there are some things that just aren't there for him to screw over any more.

Which I suppose is his point. He's not a ruler, he's an... antiruler. He actively unrules things so that the net balance of the universe will eventually be 0.

If we kill the universe, we're screwed too. In point of fact, increasing everybody else's quality of life would be the quickest way to make ours more luxurious in the long run.
 
You know what, let's run with this. I wanna see what happens if we have the moral high ground relative to the 'heroes'.

True, but an antiruler could be considered to be the opposite of a ruler in the same way antimatter is the opposite of matter. Rather than try to exert our will upon this universe, it's far easier to simply... start over, and be there right from the beginning so that all - past, present, and future - may kneel.

And sure, it can be an effectively identical universe, with the single, minuscule change that we are its absolute god, as is right and proper.

Except he explicitly hates existing, so him winning means that he dies too.
I just write said:

Yes, come over to the Lawful Neutral side. We have square doughnuts, which contain roughly 33% more doughnut than circular doughnuts.
