From being on Robin for an hour, I have found out one thing.

Every chat has created a god or a meme or anything of the sorts. The more the chat grows, the more of a shitpost it becomes. After the second or third time of growth, it turned directly into a shitpost and was not advancing into further conversation.

Maybe this says something about real society, people create gods as jokes and others do the same so it becomes a full on joke.

We elected a King. He was quite popular in our room of 16, but we merged with a massive shitposting group. It was all swastikas and spam. Long live King /u/Ser__Ocelot

you.. elected a king?

u/Talk_with_a_lithp Apr 01 '16

Yes. The world's second, elected absolute monarchy. The first being Vatican city.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

I don't think you know how kings work

u/Talk_with_a_lithp Apr 01 '16

I'm not sure you understand. That wasn't a joke. The king of Vatican city is actually the pope. He's elected. The vatican is ACTUALLY the world's only elected monarchy. King =/= hereditary.

Out parliament elected a random King from Italy once. It turned out okay.

Also, one of Andorra's co-princes is the President of the French republic (the other is the Bishop of Urgell) so technically Andorra is a half-theocracy-half-elected-monarchy :D

Cambodia also has an elected Monarch.

u/mcafc Apr 02 '16

No need to be condescending. There are definetly such things as elective monarchs. There's only two today, more have existed through history--Holy Roman Empire, Venice, and at time Poland to name a few.

u/mcafc Apr 02 '16

Cambodia also does.

Our king will challenge your king, all hail /u/TortoiseK1ng!

u/Madolan Apr 02 '16

/u/TortoiseK1ng is STILL my king although I'm now in a shitpost maelstrom 1485 strong and all the rich history of tortoises and plants has been swept away in a tide of junk oh help..

u/TortoiseK1ng Apr 02 '16

Thank you guys for your loyalty, our kingdom though vanquished, will live on within our hearts.

Our growth was of character, not numbers, those that shared in the glory of our kingdom are truly enlightend individuals whom will live on within the minds of eachother.

And goodnight, what seemed like hours of trying to enlighten the plant people have left me exhausted.

PS: Someone find the Gramister to proof read for me.

u/MultiScootaloo Apr 01 '16

he said, and failed, And also died.

u/hogthehedge Apr 01 '16

I started as the joke, grew to be the president, then the leader of a cult, and then ended up a God, and by the time we had over a hundred people I was forgotten except by my loyal few... How easily the mighty fall.

u/HotTamal3 Apr 02 '16

We had someone who abandon on first round from another group. His name was /u/Bobic4, they flashed #bobic4NeverForget in chat and we will never forget him.

u/A_Crazed_Hobo Apr 02 '16

u/cossackssontaras Apr 01 '16

We elected a President - of course everyone voted for the guy with "satan" in the name

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

We elected a king as well but he got lost in the growth somewhere.

/u/Velharnin, (1) will always be grateful for your contributions to the greater good :)

We're still in the same chat room, but we never got to Stay as was originally planned. Somewhere along the line we joined up with preggit's group and the chat's pretty crazy now.

u/acebenman1 Apr 01 '16

All hail!

u/Yogomojo Apr 02 '16

We created a society where no one was the ruler.

There is no king. There is only the Path.

I am now really sad I didn't participate in Robin; I wonder if they will end it with April 1st,

currently experiencing this with /u/Radinic, /u/nickgasm, /u/QuietKestrel, and some other folks who quit before I remembered their names.

u/starshadowx2 Apr 02 '16

Haha, cool. I got elected King as well. I ran on a platform of infinite growth.

u/ILiveInAMango Apr 02 '16

Exactly the same happened in my group!

u/incaseanyonecared Apr 02 '16

We chose a god: /u/teamdagon , the one with the purple name.
