I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about something we can all relate to. Something that is, unquestionably, inescapably, something that is very relating to all of us. I am referring of course, to our great national pastime, fanstuff. Or so it had been. That’s right Wiki User Wiki, before we were devastated by The Great Purge, each user had their own fanstuff account. Imagine, a perfect, cloudless day, the sun is warm, welcoming. And on the horizon they appear. Like knights of yore, armed with a keyboard and a mouse. Their name, the Fanstuff Wiki Leaders, their purpose, to make you, dear Wiki User Wiki, revel in the joys of sport and sunshine. If only for an afternoon. Now, ask yourself this. What if the Fanstuff Wiki could live again? What if they could compete with different fan wikis? Put your faith in Lex, great Wiki User Wiki, and fanstuff will live again. Comfort, recreation, healthy competition. All will live again. This empire will live again. | I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about something we can all relate to.

Speech 1 – Let’s Talk About Government
Let's talk about government, shall we? Or more specifically, your government, dear Wiki User Wiki. The Empire. Just who is the Empire? Why, now that's simple, the Empire is you, Wiki User Wiki. The Empire is your sister, your aunt, your friend, your, your neighbor. And well yes, the Empire is me as well, heh heh, uh hah. As your emperor, it is my responsibility to preside over our great democracy. So, as your emperor, I am the voice, I am the heart, and soul of the Empire. That is to say, I am the voice, heart, and soul of Wiki User Wiki. But only together, together, can we hope to reach our full potential. The way we were before the purge. Whole. Beautiful. Powerful. One Empire, One Wiki User Wiki. Now and Forever. And now, dearest Wiki User Wiki, we must say farewell. For there is much work to be done, and the Empire never rests. Never.
Speech 2 - Fanstuff
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about something we can all relate to. Something that is, unquestionably, inescapably, something that is very relating to all of us. I am referring of course, to our great national pastime, fanstuff. Or so it had been. That’s right Wiki User Wiki, before we were devastated by The Great Purge, each user had their own fanstuff account. Imagine, a perfect, cloudless day, the sun is warm, welcoming. And on the horizon they appear. Like knights of yore, armed with a keyboard and a mouse. Their name, the Fanstuff Wiki Leaders, their purpose, to make you, dear Wiki User Wiki, revel in the joys of sport and sunshine. If only for an afternoon. Now, ask yourself this. What if the Fanstuff Wiki could live again? What if they could compete with different fan wikis? Put your faith in Lex, great Wiki User Wiki, and fanstuff will live again. Comfort, recreation, healthy competition. All will live again. This empire will live again.
Speech 3 - Rebuilding the Wiki User Wiki
We live in an age of poverty, greed, violence, destruction. Indeed the very heart of our community, The Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki, has been reduced to what is now known as the "Purged Zone". The Fanstuff Wiki, how did it come to this, Wiki User Wiki? How did your leaders allow one of the most beautiful parts of our community...to die? The answer is really quite simple. Incompetence. Incompetence at the highest echelons of power. We put our trust, our faith, in halfwits. Our intrepid leaders had everything they wanted; power, wealth, prestige. It made them lazy, Wiki User Wiki. Oh yes, and laziness breeds stupidity. Rest assured, I will not make the mistakes of my predecessors. When Lex builds a community, he builds it to last. The Right Way. Don’t you, my darling Wiki User Wiki, deserve that? Don’t you deserve a future free of flamewars, and fear, and terrible uncertainty? Of course you do. As the Emperor of this glorious community, you have my solemn pledge. That I will never rest, never rest, until we have what we deserve. A place to truly call… Home.
