However, it's somewhat diverged from the Aisleventure formula in that there are running plot points. It's actually more of a free-for-all now--you can suggest silly one-off endings, continue an existing plot thread, or even spawn off a new plot thread from what normally would've been a silly one-off ending. Plot threads are many and many are confusingly meta, such as a thread in which one player tries to "kill" the other players and anyone he gets starts suggesting as some form of undead.
As an aisleventure, all suggestions lead to an "ending". These endings can be completely distinct, not having to fit into any kind of continuity with each other, but a sort of meta-continuity has been formed by many anyways. As a general rule I respond to every suggestion, as long as you only post one suggestion per round of endings. That's the only rule you, the audience, are expected to obey. Not counting, like, forum rules and school filters and stuff I don't control.
So the big man upstairs thinks he can just push people like you around, huh? We're all just bugs under his mighty heel? Well not anymore!
Today is your day. Today is the day you're going to get the last laugh. You'll show him!
Umm, what were you going to do again?

And more??? (Yes)
The above powers have been earned for use in all endings, anytime you want them. Heck, you even have them if they weren't mentioned in your post! Other powers, of course, come and go as appropriate for each ending. But in general you don't have them*.

Reason: Retitled to be a little more honest
You attempt to do this. In response, God smites you with lightning to establish superiority. His is slightly more successful.
***Huh, lightning. There's GOTTA be something you can do about that, right?***

You're right in the middle of pulling down your nemesis's pants when the watch grinds to a halt. You really should have wound up your time stopper at regular increments while time was stopped.
His bodyguard is not amused.
***At least he doesn't confiscate the pocketwatch! Or should I say, the pocket full of broken springs and cogs that managed to hurt the guy's fist just enough to make him really angry.***

"Well? Did the cat make it there in one piece?"
"So that was you. Yes, the cat is here and is in perfectly good health. It's lapping up a bowl of milk right now. But professor..."
"Finally! He didn't think it would work, he told me it was a waste of funding and a mockery of science, but I showed him, didn't I?"
"Professor, he finished his own teleporter last week."
"WHAT?"
"Have you not left your lab all week? It's been all over the news! A working eco-friendly teleporter. He's already been given tenure at seven different universities and the Nobel Prize in two categories."
God damn it, not again!
***Wait, did he say eco-friendly? Because the one you used drained an entire city's power grid. Crap, how are you going to afford that electric bill?***

He cannot hope to beat you at a prank-off. You are simply the best there is.

Your timing is top-notch. You get about three lines in before he calls security, but by the time they get there you're already to the part of the song where you should be getting dragged away by the guards. Your string of perfect timing continues and you are dumped out on the street juuuuuust as you reach the last line.

Alright, after weeks of work you've retrieved the secret sword from the secret cave. Everything in the game falls like flies before this sword and its obscure Ether element, since virtually nothing resists it. Surely you'll be able to kill the final boss.
***I think you see where this one's going.***

You have to go on crazy and dangerous escapades through the sky with a motley assortment of rogues led by John Malkovich, who is wise to your heroic nature and pure heart. They tether a grumpy police man's awesome car to the plane and smash it, and then later they crash into some casinos. You get out of the wreckage and hug your family.
***Somewhere within that mess of a film I believe you also kill at least half of the villains on that plane, but John didn't seem to think that was worth mentioning.***

Sadly the boss has massive Spell Resistance and your stasis spell fails to take hold. You have comparatively little Physical Resistance and his boot-up-the-ass non-spell works just fine.
***Next time get a strategy guide.***

Having seen this gag before, you are very careful not to slip on your own banana peel. Unfortunately, when the boss comes out and slips on it you're still standing at the bottom of the stairs.
***Although it is statistically probable that you would still hurt him more than you hurt yourself, probability is a funny thing and he just happened to permanently shatter numerous key bones within your body.***

Knock over the domino and set off the contraption that would make the combined might of Escher and Rube Goldberg cry out in gibbering terror.
Just as the row of dominos are nearing the tripwire to set the ball rolling, someone slams a door somewhere else in the building and five different parts of the contraption go off by themselves. You thus have significantly less time to evacuate the area than you planned for and are caught in the blast radius.
***This always happens.***

He notes that SOMEONE has certainly been cashing the checks he's been making out, and either that somebody is the landlady or that somebody is about to get sued to kingdom come for identity fraud. That someone then very discreetly returns the money.
***Seriously, does anybody pay for things in cash anymore? Any hands at all?***

Unfortunately, when you go online to obtain the virus which you will put on your boss's computer, you make the amateur mistake of actually obtaining a copy of that virus to give him. Ironically it renders your electronic devices incapable of being used to transfer any files.
***Leave the cyberwarfare to the professionals. Or, failing that, to the amateurs who've been doing it long enough that they should be professionals.***
