We don't control the king, we control the kingdom. If we really want something to happen that the king doesn't want, events IC will conspire to force the events in the direction we want.
The only way we could stop the king from not doing DL in this case is civil war.
A civil war against the King.
No we
control the king and through him the kingdom, we never controlled forces outside of him, at most we
supported and
were supported by forces outside of him, which of course made us act on their advice/knowledge, that however never meant that we controlled them
During the war we aren't involved in the battles as the actual commander, we only decide of much men we wish to commit, which is the King's decision
During science projects we are rarely involved in the acutal process and only if we have to decide between two science types, most of the time however we aren't part of the science team, we simple decide how much rescources are to be spent, which again is the Kings decision
During social unrest we only decide where the focus should lie, which is also the King deciding IC where the problem might come from, we are in no way involved in the actual process, such as organizing the social wellfare as a clerk, or taking care of the patients as a priest
Our decisions on the budget and the midturn are represented by him, they are the Kings decisions on where to spent how much
That is my actual point, no matter how much they didn't make sense IC our actions where still done and represented by the king and were at least simple justified with the King being the one who makes the decisions
And the fact that this is no longer the case, is what I consider unfair,
In fact why even offer us the possibility of a civil war if we have no chance at winning at all,
I mean honestly if it is like that AN could have just forced us and be done with it
That way at least we would have been just bitter about our past decision, instead of being salty and tearing at each other throats
..................oh for fucks sake, our king is not a god, he can't go against the entirety of the kingdom just because. If it's basically suicide to do an action, doing it will rightfully get a king replaced, hero or not.
First please chill out or if you can't,
log out, at least until you are chilled, we were just unlocked and you were called in by the GM for your behavior
Second my point was not him not winning against the kingdom, but him not only not siding with us but actively against us depite being the current PC, which never happened is this quest and goes kinda goes against the idea of this quest
This is not about optimizing minutiae, but about choosing the structures and ideals of a people, culture, and civilization over time as various challenges rear their head.
