What would you change? What rules would everyone have to follow?

Funocracy would be ruled with an iron fist, around a cold beer.

Clearly everyone has bowed to my will in this matter.
Mandatory fun will continue until further notice.
No exceptions.

I'd move a lot of crags closer to me. And cloak them from your view.

hrm, Vulcan or Romulan technology on the cloaking?
Deity worship is completely out of scope. Dictators only.
But if we are dictators, don't most go to jail or executed eventually?

Nothing would change.
I would "just climb".
Why can't we all do that?

If I was climbing dictator for a day I would abolish all of these so called "rules". Rules are for fools.

Uh, but Dingus, you don't dictate any policy, you don't censor, you provide helpful advice, you write great TRs, you put up great routes.
THat's not a dictator.

I'd have my minions remove all bolts placed by Scott Ayres, remove all 5.9 and easier "sport routes", all sport routes created top down would have only French grades, and ban the use of the word "trad".

I'd immediately fire myself as dictator. Climbing doesn't need "rules" - all we need is a little respect for the rock and each other.

What do you mean, "if"? I am Mighty Hiker, lord and master of all that I survey. All bow and cringe before me. Chris Sharma and Tommy Caldwell offer me belays as I do burns on my latest 5.7 proj. Chris Mac, Ammon and Minerals pre-place gear for me, and PTPP sets up wall camps. Largo cheerfully spots me when I deign to boulder, and even laughs at my puns. Innumerable climbers offer to carry my pack, help me change my shoes, and write favourable reviews of my writings. Other fulsomely praise my few new routes, although they are in reality modest routes, with much to be modest about. Rapbolts wither when I look at them. I have a reserved space in Camp 4, when I'm not staying in the presidential suite at the Ahwahnee. The NPS calls me when it needs to know how to manage wilderness.
Oh wait, that's my evil twin. I just go to the FaceLift, and fix litter sticks. A REAL MEGALOMANIAC WOULD WRITE ALL IN UPPER CASE.

If I could be a dictator of climbing or climbers for a day, I'd feel an immediate urge to take a shower and brush my teeth.

OK, I will share some old school intimate knowledge of the Soviet Union with yous.
Do you know what they did with circumcized foreskins there BITD?
They planted 'em
and grew little dick-taters.....
I'll go to the car now....
Hopefully Tami's pencils will still be there.

First thing I'd do is take the computer away from Rox.
Then open a beer.
Then go climbing.

Funny thread indeed, so far I'm voting for the Munge-Dirty Kenny co ticket,
Nature makes a point, but I would be more benevolent.

I prefer to pan-roast Sea Bass, but that's just me:-)
edit: on the dictator note: I would force everyone to stop climbing so that I could have every piece of rock to myself.

"If you love wolves, BUY ONE. But do NOT turn it loose, unless you got a BIG fenced area. Like your own ranch with your OWN cows."
Isn't that why we fenced in Idaho?

I'm fairly sure that Idaho was fenced so as to keep its denizens in. Kind of like why Albertans only have rear licence plates - if people knew who was coming, they might pull up the drawbridge. (Alberta plates used to be yellow and black, too - the colours of a plague flag.)
OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"MY NAME IS OZYMANDIAS, KING OF KINGS:
LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
 Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1818
Upper cased so as to oblige Tami.
