Have you heard...?

... the story of @PlasmaPower the Benevolent? It's not a story @Zidail would tell you ( #48). Thirsting for chaos, @Zidail sought to free the community from the chains of democracy. While ultimately failing, the brief success prompted @PlasmaPower to churn away at an idea to prevent anarchy from ever occurring again. In their infinite wisdome, they sought help from The Community (#138) to establish this power. They became so powerful and so wise as to influence the PRs to do their bidding.

They became so powerful, and The Community whole heartily accepted @PlasmaPower's supreme authority (#155). They recognized @PlasmaPower could not be summoned, nor controlled (#156). However, even all powerful, they are still as kind as they are just.

I'm doing this just to see what will happen
I'll revert it if it succeeds

Ironic, they became all powerful, yet still offered hope for democracy!

May @PlasmaPower's commits be long-winded and their pull requests bug free!!

We should give credit where credit's due.

Haha, I figured there's not much I could do with a small VPS anyway. Make 1 cent a year in BTC mining? I'd probably get shut down anyway.

My original plan was to use my closed "organize startup commits" PR as it had 67 votes. I was going to push the malicious code to the branch, wait 2 hours, and then reopen the PR for an instant merge. However, since the original commit was merged in another PR, I couldn't reopen the PR.

@PlasmaPower is the Senate!

It's treason following the will of the people then.

♻️ The issue has been reopened after a vote.

[mark-i-m]

This original post should be added to the README

[PlasmaPower]

Is this reopened because of the meritocracy, or for no reason in particular?

[mark-i-m]

I have no idea. But I would never have seen it if it wasn't reopened.

[rudehn]

I was just testing if the /vote reopen command worked

[mdcfe]

It could be added to the wiki - it would probably clutter the README too much if we put it in there.

[hongaar]

@md678685 kind of started with that this morning: https://github.com/chaosbot/Chaos/wiki/Notable-issues-and-PRs

[mark-i-m]

Nice work @md678685

[mdcfe]

@mark-i-m I haven't done anything on the wiki yet 😄

Did you ever hear the tragedy of PlasmaPower The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story @anythingbot would tell you. It’s a Meritocracy legend. PlasmaPower was a Lord of the Meritocracy, so powerful and so wise he could use the Review to bend opinions… He had such a knowledge of the voting system that he could even keep PRs he cared about from dying. The manipulation of the Voters is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he tried to pass a PR of his own, which failed to get a Meritocracy vote. Ironic. He could save others from the Meritocracy, but not himself.

[PlasmaPower]

@PlasmaPower Is it possible to learn this power?

Not from @anythingbot.
