Two guys were working for him ( chat? ) and they are now staffmembers, because of dethlord.

That's just faulty logic. I made the chat staff junior staff. DethLord had nothing to do with it. Well, he did, but it wasn't a cause-and-effect thing.

Let's say that Mikey goes through high school as a mediocre member of society. Then once he leaves home, he is hired by The Greatest Company In The World, and starts making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

But his father keeps saying it was solely his doing that Mikey got into the Company; after all, if the father wasn't present at Mikey's conception, Mikey would have never been born and would never have gotten the job.

That's just insane. Yes, the father certainly *helped* Mikey get into the Company by being the father, but wasn't active in the process.

Its like if I tell my brother to go to the store, and he finds a hundred dollar bill on the street while going there. I proclaim that I am almighty because I led my brother to find the hundred dollar bill, even though I had no knowledge of its whereabouts beforehand.

Its just taking credit for things that you had absolutely no idea were going to happen, and no involvement while they were happening. Its stupid.
