[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Is anyone going to post in the other thread? Is there something you are waiting for from me that I'm missing?
 
Sorry, I was kinda waiting to see how Rose's thread develop before I post, since the movement of the troops is gonna take about 3 months, maybe she comes back with some valuable information that will influence my next move.
 
I understand. Just wanted to make sure that everyone else is not being left out of the game.
 
No problem man, I'm actually enjoying reading Mnemon's scene.


So who are we missing to convince to join us? The Silver Pact and some other Lunar Elders? I guess once Chejop hears about the Demonic Empress he might rethink his stance on us Solars, at least temporarily.


@Esbilon do you have any charms that can increase virtues, particularly compassion? We better make sure that we shape up Mnemon to be a decent ruler (and less of a bitch) if we're gonna go through with this alliance, giving her intimacies for us Solars and what we represent is all good, but we also need to make her more likeable for the general population.
 
I'm more or less on the same page as Leafar. His character is our Circle's general, so I was going to be taking my cues from him.

I do not have the virtue-training charm, but I meet all prereqs so if that's what we want done, it's only 8 xp away.


That said, likeability and competence as an Empress is largely unrelated to compassion. Unless someone is actively sadistic (or stupid or self-centered), they are not going to harm their own people, as these people are the basis for their rule. Compassion is more about saving individual lives, we want someone who sees the big picture, but values human life. Someone who can throw away a million lives to save a billion, not a bleeding heart.


As for making the people love her, well, that's just a few application of Solar Socialize cheese, and they'll love her (and us) for ever and ever. Or at least until another solar socializer comes by.


Mmm, for treating people well, I think changing the policies of the Imperial Bureaucracy would actually be more effective. And that again, is Socialize.
 
We'll keep that thread alive for a while, since I have some Evil Planstm for you to deal with.
 
Will the sightseeing be significant, or should we skip ahead a bit? Rose will take the opportunity to start influencing people for Wise-Eyed Courtier's Method, and be generally appreciative and admiring. Or she'll pretend to anyway. It really is an insignificant little hovel next to Meru where she was just a few subjectve months ago.
 
We can gloss over the sightseeing of the Imperial City. My Evil Planstm will take place later on in the evening.
 
Cool. That's the plan then. If we have a chance to interact with members of the Greater Chamber of the Deliberative (or Senate if you insist), Rose will try making them believe that Mnemon should be supported as Empress. Mechanically, this works by using first Understanding the Court, and then Wise-Eyed Courtier Method. It will take a few hours, but it's possible. If we don't have that amount of access to them, she'll do the same with the people.
 
Yeah, ok, so I made a typo. Minus xp for pointing out the errors of the ST!
 
Sorry for my recent absence, I had a few busy days but I should be back on regular schedule.


A bit of a delayed reaction, but what a douchebag Chejop turned out to be, trying to kill us as we're moving to war against the MoW, annihilating not only us, but the whole population of Metagalpa, any allied forces near (which could include the Realm army and Lookshy, not counting any supernatural forces like the Aerial Legion and Ahlat and his brides), the jungle tribes, the population of Rathess, including all the recently awakened Dragon Kings, who am I missing?


Seriously, when Aurora finds about this, it will be the last straw that changes her mind against the old man, he just made himself an enemy of Creation in her eyes, so he better be ready because he's next after MoW.
 
I think that the whole mess of Thanksgiving and Black Friday has put a few people off their regular posting schedule. And I'm glad that I have done my job well with keeping ol' Chejop in the loop as a going concern.
 
I don't want to tell you I told you so....


But I goddamn TOLD you so!


EDIT: also, finally got around to moving those dodge points/charms in to Social/martial arts points/charms.

It's all good :tongue:


More seriously, I thinkTiger should be the one to handle the Kejak. I now have the social chops to try and talk him down, and the kung-fu needed to put him down if worse comes to worse.
