I'm trying to come up w/ a joke involving the panama canal but can't. Do you know of any?
.....why the panama canal?
Ahem, Panama City, FLORIDA. I live in the panhandle halfway between Pensacola and Tallahassee
sweet saints below, I am sorry.
The town of Hollywood, Maryland is about a mile away from California, Maryland. Both are in the same county as Middle Earth, Maryland.
Eh, I just shrug and move on. Names are names.
...oh, fuck.
Considering that British town names are like "glendale" "green dell" "[french]" "[vaguely gaelic but it is of course denied to be such]" idk.
the lower classes, actually. In 99% of cases, the victims. A police action to restore order is just gonna cement the corrupt guys. fuck.
The idea that the wealthy and influential might use their wealth and influence to redirect the purge elsewhere, toward the impoverished and foreign, is something that I had considered, yes.
So all we need to do is [] [Main] Burn Sacrifices [] [Secondary] Burn Sacrifices [] [Secondary] Burn Sacrifices x2 and then all the rich people will be poor along w/ everyone else. It looks like that one guy was right all along. If we burn enough of our economy we will be united in poverty.
sarcasm is a delicate garment, my dude. its appreciated by a discerning eye, but it tears in casual company.
The issue is we have zero ways of reducing hierarchy, while we can always reduce cent by creating a new province. So we're stuck treating the symptoms until we get such an ability.
I don't do pure sarcasm, pure jokes, or pure sincerity. Nearly everything I say is to some degree sincere and to some degree not.
Then why are you voting on the police crackdown which gives 0.5 stability average (with a ~25% chance of -1 stability) instead of the festival which guarantees 1 stability?
Not really. We've got a civilization type which depends upon low centralization but can still support high hierarchy. Can you point to any quote that suspiciously hint that? Low hierarchy would probably make the problem even worse since there would be less systems in place and it'd be even more ad hoc than it currently is.
Corruption is disharmonious. We HAVE to restore harmony. its in our traits.
Then can I ask you to do the same and not ignore mechanics for narrative? Projects have certain benefits for a reason. The -1 initial fee is nothing to scoff at and has the potential of making the situation worse.
