the word "reign" has nothing to do with the torch or anything .. only "light / torch" has any relevance .. and even that its a horrible attempt at a concept

"reign has lost its light" can never actually work in quotations cus theres no such thing as rain/reign "losing light" .. it just wont ever work

i didnt post this to talk down to anyone who voted for him .. i didnt even realize you did .. you can explain if you want to though

'Reign' had to do with the situation in Egypt, and I think the overall point he was trying to make was to compare Askari's LetsBeef reign and his confrontation with X-Cal to the situation with the military in Egypt. I think he had some wording issues in trying to convey that point. "Up and out of power" was nowhere near being the smoothest wording he could have used. "Loosing light/torch" was veering away from/irrelevant to the central idea, but it still sort of worked if we take "loosing light" as a metaphor for losing power.
