The First Word becomes the Last Word.
This is the opposite of the other thread. The first word of this following sentence MUST be the final word of the sentence you write, and so on. Just 'cause I'm a curmudeon!
Oligarchy, corrupt and self-serving, is essentially what the Council of Twelve has become, don't you think?

Heavens to Mergatroy, I should get royalites for this thread, or perhaps file a lawsuit like George Lucas did against Glen Larson, for making a sci-fi film slightly similar, ect. But aside from that, I do not think I can participate in this thread for I have no clue the definition of the word oligarchy.

I mused for a while as to what to put into a game thread, and this poor offering is what came out of the well.

It is not a poor offering! I like it but it's more challenging than the other way around! like trying to come up with a sentence that ends with I?!

Figures you would take that as a complement! I'm impressed that you are starting and ending your sentences with the same word that's even trickier, now that you have started this trend are you intending to keep it up? Hats off to you!

"Nah" is just one of those slang words that throws everything into confusion, but, then, that figures.

Can you think of uses for words like am, are and as?

If I was not correct, we are left with a great "what if?"
