User blog:Shadowmaster/A Tragic Departure

Some of my more dedicated fans may be aware that, in late 2015, I made a declaration that my reign on this wiki would never end. Unfortunately, while I am a being of indisputable magnificence - at least on par with most powerful gods of Greek mythos - I am not a fortune teller, and fittingly, that has proven to be my downfall. Even had I tried to attain an even more glorious form, it still would not have given me the clairvoyance to foresee my true fate - to be deposed by a rowdy gang of rambunctious ruffians. Alas, my fate has been sealed - the battle was long, and in the end, democracy stands tall above the rubble as the most stalwart of the world's powers.

I accept my fate. I have been defeated, and accordingly, I shall make my departure from these sacred lands forever, or at least until the world is once again ready to accept me for the sublime and pure being that I am. However, I will not simply allow this wiki to fall into the gritty claws of those nefarious reprobates who would eschew absolute magnificence in favor of free choice and equal representation. Nay, I will not leave this wiki to crumble without making one final sacrifice to save it from the darkness of liberty and autonomy.

Yes, I may have fallen, but this momentous address is not all of regrettable news. Calling upon the authority vested in me by official wiki policy, I shall make my resignation, but I shall also call upon six trusted and capable individuals to take my place. Indeed, I have fallen - but they will rise, like six phoenixes from the ashes of one, better phoenix. Who are they, you might ask? I would be delighted to introduce them to you.

! ! ! ! ! And, last but possibly not least, the fabled veteran ! Together, these brave men - in the flesh - will determine the fate of the wiki. I trust that they will govern you well and justly. May their reign last long, and may they leave a legacy almost as great as mine.

This is Shadowmaster, making a tragic departure. I will be missed.
