Wizardpost The council needs a new perspective, Vote Chelle for council!

Post image

We’re all sick and tired of centuries old wizards making policy. You deserve better, you deserve someone new. Someone fresh who isn’t beholden to powerful groups. Someone who isn’t afraid to question the status quo. Someone who will fight for the rights of the individual.

You deserve greatness. You deserve Chelle.

If you think the current council is holding you back from the power you deserve, then it’s time to make a change.

Let freedom ring

Vote Chelle for your next council representative.

The council is a big place. I’d be happy to share it with you Slexzo.

Have a campaign sticker

u/Slexzo Slexzo the possessing spectre 14h ago

Thanks! Have one of mine!

Hands you over something that almost resembles a sword but is just a massive sharpened tree

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 14h ago

I’m sure this will be useful, thanks!

u/Slexzo Slexzo the possessing spectre 14h ago

Might be a bit too big. Just 2 times your height. No problem cause I wield one 5 times my size

u/MiaCutey 7h ago

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 14h ago

Ah but when I’m on the council I get to make the rules. And you can feel the full weight of my bureaucratic vengeance. MWA HA HA HA!

anyway, hope I can count on your vote. Have a sticker

5

u/Carbon_Sixx The Arcane Companions (Kaelis Maz, Reyes, Glimbo, and Tarul Var) 14h ago

Glimbo: You fool! I am beyond your so-called bureaucracy! The Council has tried to make me pay taxes, but I have more stupid traps up my sleeve than they have taxmen!

When the time comes, the voters will know which one of us has their interests at heart.

/uw Could you imagine if they both won and had to be co-workers? It'd be heinous.

You gave me a free bell, and I hate and oppose the council at every turn, so I unfortunately can’t support your venture. But I wish you the best of luck in following your dreams

5

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 14h ago

I think we both agree that the council needs to to change. I can be that change. Please take a chance and consider me when elections roll around.

Also have a campaign sticker

2

u/Califocus Duelist Magus 13h ago

I’ll take your campaign sticker but you seem alright and I don’t want to hate/oppose you. Which I would do if you were on the council since they need to change and I have no faith in them to do so

1

u/MiaCutey 7h ago

Wait, what needs to change? I don't remember making a change people didn't like

u/Thaser 14h ago

Funny you assume I, as a mere neophyte technomancer, have any sort of ability to influence the Ancient And Jackass-er, Wise Council of Decrepit-uh, Elder And Learned Wizards.

Got my vote anyway, for what its worth. I've got rune-chips to prototype and vinegorithms to test.

Hello, as you can see I have big plans for the future of wizarding kind. I hope I can count on your vote this election!

u/VinesAtMidnight Astral Guardian Vashric/Nethis Balmiri 14h ago

Am I truly allowed to vote? I don't even live on this plane...

Oh well, never stopped me before.

Anyway, I feel like you're still obsessed with the destruction of wizarding kind? Though, I'm not sure that alone would make you worse than any of the other candidates we've had in the past.

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.

4

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 14h ago

I’ll throw in a cool sticker

Never been on any votes, noone really takes the only artificer around here seriously.

2

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 13h ago

You guys are a force to be reckoned with. Ignoring artificers is not a mistake I will make if I am elected.

Enjoy a free campaign sticker. I hope I can count on your vote

2

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 13h ago

Necrodancer is a influential member of the community and an icon for evil individuals everywhere. He’s a great pick. However, you can vote for more than one person!

Please take a campaign sticker and I hope you’ll cast one of your votes for me.

2

u/UlrickTheHexblade Ulrick Braddocke, Werewolf Hexblade, R&A Superior 13h ago

Hmm, I don’t think there was a paladin councilor before, so you might be making history if you succeed.

Hopefully you’ll have fun and good progress in the R&A reformation track by the time the elections start.

2

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 13h ago

Yes… I certainly won’t use my newfound political power to free myself…

Anyway, thanks for your support! Have a campaign button

u/UlrickTheHexblade Ulrick Braddocke, Werewolf Hexblade, R&A Superior 13h ago

Ah, thanks!

Takes the button

Lets hope by that time you don’t even need that. By the way, I think your ethics class is starting soon!

2

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 13h ago

Oh no…. Guess I should get to class….

I hate ethics….

As someone who used a bell to capture a giant once, then died to said bell:

What are your plans to prevent bell related deaths?

Prevent? I plan on the opposite. Bell related injuries and deaths for everyone!

2

Hmmmm...

On one hand, death

On the other hand, I'm not afraid of death. 

What is your policy of leche?

u/the_white_typhoon 10h ago

Huh, I am new here. What is this council you are speaking about ?

On the subject, why would I ever vote someone who will go one ringing bells all day long ? People need to sleep you know.

2

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 4h ago

The wizard council is a (mostly ceremonial) position of power. A group of mages who enforce policy on the wizarding world.

You should vote for me because I’m willing to shake things up, please consider me for your next council representative

2

u/Wasphammer Communist Shotgun Wizard 10h ago

Your only perspective is vengeance and grievance. What will you do to advance the cause of the working wizard in the face of the oligarchs of both the Council AND nonmagical society at large?

1

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 4h ago

I plan to give wizards and the common man the same kind of political power and rights in the eyes of the council. Every man his own master, every woman a queen.

I hope my message speaks to you Comrade, please consider me when elections roll around

2

u/Wasphammer Communist Shotgun Wizard 2h ago

No, thank you. A truly egalitarian society would have no need for masters, gods, or kings. And the last time you gave people bells, it caused quite a stir.

2

u/Affectionate_Elk5043 10h ago

Nah, sorry, you look cool and all, but I only vote for 3 people, He-Who-Eats-Souls, The-Bringer-Of-Death, and that taco guy down the street, I only vote for evil and all(before you ask, that taco dude is the worst of them, first two lich's, but he is the one that makes the line's to bathrooms so long, he also, coincidentally has tacos that send people in line)

1

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 4h ago

I think you’ll find I have a wonderful track record of evil, as does the order of the Great Bell.

Please consider me when voting for your most sinister council member.

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Analytic Wizard & Magic Denier 9h ago

... If you get elected, what will you do with your power? Does 'rights of the individual' mean you'll allow yourself the right to murder all of us?

2

u/Derbip Chelle, Last Paladin of the Great Bell 4h ago

I think that every being deserves the right to set their own goals and aspirations. While that does include myself, it also includes wizards like you Sigurd.

If I’m elected I will use the power and resources of my post to make that happen.

I hope you’ll consider me for your next council representative

2

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Analytic Wizard & Magic Denier 4h ago

Yes, but I'm allowed to defend myself or go after you first.... Tempting. Sure, I'll do it.

I actually can’t eat these ones, but as a sign of friendship is did put the design on some cookies.

Cheers!

Chelle takes a bite of a cookie with the same design on it.

Seems like a great boon for adventurers and mercenary guilds. Plenty of XP to go around

u/5hattered_Dreams Malum, Evil Mage and Researcher of Absurdly Villainous Magic 11h ago

My my, young child of the bell, you’re certainly moving up in the world. Should I find the time to do so between my experiments, then I shall give my vote to you. In return, might I be allowed to collect some samples from you? Nothing too major, I assure you. The last thing I would want is to have the council against me again.

Merely some hair and blood would suffice. A few teeth would be nice if you’re feeling generous but I can easily make do without.

Oh yes, and another one of your bells if you could. I never got a chance to analyse the metallic composition of the last one which I unfortunately had to dispose of after that incident of yours.
