He's not gonna tell us THAT.
Sorry just I REALLY do not want to deal with whatever group believes Robby to be a martyr. I just want his damn influence to be dead and gone so we can move on.
I get it. Trust me, I feel exactly the same way.
Alright... @Magoose, I put 40 Points on the Death to Robespierre-Action and 10 more on the Influencing Napoleon about the Children of the Revolution-Action.
Everyone who has Omake-Bonuses, I highly implore you to pitch in on the other Options, especially with so many Mystery DC's in the Winning Plan.

I don't know why but I just cant bring myself to root against Rob
Yeah, I don't know why either you can't either. This asshat has done nothing but kill countless people, many of them innocent, destabilize the country, endanger the revolution and recently tried to murder babies.
There is ZERO symathy to be had for him by now. None whatsoever.

I think it's a disconnect, Therese Auclair and we as voters have every reason to hate the guy. From a third-person though he seemed personally fascinating to me, as someone who knows zilch of French history I don't know anything about the guy. He seemed pretty sane when he was doing his political moves when he gave us the cool suit. I don't know why he went behead-crazy or if he was insane from the start.

Three things happened:
1. Counter revolutionary stuff in the VEndee sent his paranoia into overdrive. And after he killed Marat for... Reasons of political ego and fear of counter-revolution, he started up a terror of royalist executions.
2. The Terror ended when Brian and Nappy couped his ass, gave him a trial and gave him very strong anger against the army, their politically motivated generals, and certain members of the Nappy B inner circle. Including us.
3. The straw that broke the camel's back was when we joined Nappy's coup and Empire the second time, and basically ended the war he wanted to have to save the Republic, sending him to exile, and now to his death.
I am vastly oversimplifying what happened, but the update is coming and I am about finished with it.

11.7 A Land Fit for Heroes; Une terre digne des héros
November 1st, 1796
You looked at the report that Napoleon made regarding the Children of the Revolution, and quietly set it down. "Exile?"
"They tried to murder our children, I belive that is a fitting enough punishment without having them killed like dogs." He replied.
"Are you forgetting what I talked about?" You replied, incredulous.
"No, I am merely exercising the will to bring criminals to justice." He stated.
"That will only make the problems that we may have prevented come back again, with words that we wish to stamp out the Revolution for our own gain. Is that what you wish?" You asked.
"I am protecting the Revolution, but I will not have it destroyed by those who think that murdering those who support us, or our family be done!" He said, raising his voice.
"Yet they have already surrendered, they have already serving sentences. If that is not love for France and the Revolution, especially with their confessions to cement Robespierre's death?" You replied. "We promised them clemency for their testimony, to publish them in the papers, to give us the moral high ground for him to die." You replied. "So be a man of your word."
Napoleon was quiet. "Why must you always be the angel on my shoulder that I must always bow to, why can't you be the devil I can always ignore." He said, trying his best to not hide his discomfort.
"Because if I were the devil you wouldn't have married me." You replied.
He looked at his papers. "Pierre, get me fresh papers, and ink. We have sentences to commune… or lessen."
"Yes sir." Pierre replied, as he gave a small bow. "I must also say to the Empress, that if you were the devil, you would have killed your husband after the twins were born."
Reward:
The Children of the Revolution have been deradicalized. Threat of possibly counter or continued Revolutionary coups or civil wars are lessened considerably.
Disaster roll increased by +10 for the turn.

THe British Government has refused to grant an audience or correspondence to the doctor who had developed a so called Small Pox Vaccine.
Mostly because their parliament launched their own investigation to see if it works, and think you are just using it to get an Agent into the Country.
And they won't let the Doctor leave the country because they think his Vaccine can be used as a weapon.
Failure:
The British Government is so paranoid of French infiltration or a French plot that they refuse a scientific expedition from one of your ministers to see the papers and the doctor himself.
You are going to lodge a very strong argument that this goes far beyond politics.
Giving men health is the closest one can get to divine power.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Therese,
I leave this letter to you and leave earlier than expected so that I can express all my feelings to you. You are a brilliant woman, one of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet, and I am so glad that I raised you well enough that you have not succumbed to the darkness that has surrounded you.
I have left for America, not only to sevre France, but… to handle a delicate matter.
The American continent is a powder keg, and I am the one that the American's trusted to be a neutral third party to see that it does not explode. Even the Spanish do not view me with the same Animosity as other ministers of france. The British will not know my presence, but I am making sure I do not make it known until after I arrive.
I trust you to do well Sister. And take care of Napoleon, I fear what he will do if he is without me for too long a period of time.
Brian.

Failure: Brian has left for America with his family to act as a neutral representative to stop the fighting between America and Spain.

To the Armies and the Soldier of France
Soldiers. Do you not remember the years we have spent fighting for the Republic, when we have stood by one another as we fought our enemies, the Perfidious Albion, the Prussians and Austrians.
And you see the repayment of this nation, and you see it not of a land of heroes, but a land where you see nothing but disgust and shame. You are lost and alone, with your brothers and sisters in arms drifting away.
But you should not drift into crime and villainy, when we have fought so hard for security and safety for ourselves and our families.
Remember what we fought for, for we have.
We will be able to go home.
Let us do so together.
Therese Auclair, Empress of France,
Comrade in Arms.

Reward: The crime wave that was starting dissipated, and the soldiers are reminded that they are remembered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blade fell.
The Head of a Traitor fell with it.
History would not be kind to Maximilian Robespierre, not if you were able to write it.
You admired him once.
Now, you hated him, for personal reasons, more than political ones.
Perhaps that is the warning you will make. Do not make choices of a revolution based on emotions… make them on what needs to be done. For the Security of the Nation.

Maybe.
Reward: Robespierre is dead… A Former Hero of the Revolution…
Now A Traitor to France and her people.
And not a single tear was shed.
Unknown Effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Decree you had given was something the world had never seen before.
You honestly believed that France could soon be a Land for her Heroes
(To Be Continued in: A Land Fit for Heroes)
AN: Enjoy.

Likely means not good time for Brian.
Great now I'm REALLY worried.
That is all.
Goodbye, Robespierre. You were a pain in our neck until the end, who dodged death more then he had any right to, but ultimately, the dice deserted you. As you deserved.
Burn in hell, Traitor.
Ladies and Gentlemen...this calls for another Superevent. I shall deliver shortly.
