Sterbelicht - One Sacrifice At A Time Against The Galaxy (40K)

[X] The Offer Was Accepted

On one hand the Eldar are the sort to sacrifice billions of human lives if it saves a thousand of their own kind. On the other they aren't trying to micromanage us and just giving us a general objective to focus on. An objective we were already strongly considering.

Ultimately I say accept but be wary of further requests. At the very least their battleship will save naval assets in the short term. Though it is good they'll have more air support with the troop-ship...

You have been doing the wrong things for too long for them to not take notice,

I am personally betting we didn't ramp up enough military strength. We probably would've exhausted our naval strength in this recent battle if they hadn't intervene or worse case we would've lost.

.. if this is doing it Wrong, I'm not sure what would be Right. As it stands, it feels like we're barely staying ahead of all of these existential threats.

On the other hand, the Imperium would gleefully sacrifice billions of human lives to kill a few Xenos. And most of the humans Eldar fuck over are Imperials that in many other circumstances would want them exterminated for the crime of existing.

Not to say they won't fuck us over, but there's the possibility they won't. Question is, what Craftworld do they hail from?

That was not an observation from me, but from the perspective of the Eldar. From my perspective you are doing fine.

Pretty sure it's "wrong things not to get noticed", not "wrong things (you're objectively bad at the game)".

Basically, we're not acting like generic, boring Imperials, so the Eldar are coming to look what's going on.

I still called the full attack and the subsequent opening we got out of repulsing it, the Battleship just made it bloodless and cheap, but the broad outline fits my projections, which is why I take credit for calling the timeline and preparing to exploit the opening.

Click to shrink...

I'm not sure that opening would exist if the eldar hadn't intervened.

Without eldar intervention, we'd have taken far more losses here, and would take even more trying to invade the system. Most likely, that damage and risk would have been enough to cause players to vote against any kind of invasion.

Yeah, that spoke to me more of that we could have avoided notice if we tried being a bit more subtle, but we didn't bother with staying hidden that much, especially in the past few decades, so the Eldar took notice of us.

Ah, so the Space Elfs are doing a Funny and see a Chance, but on a meta level, we're doing well, that's good.

We haven't been ruthlessly purging every alien on sight, hence we are open to manipulation by the Eldar.

Even moreso when the Council was informed by the assigned Kil'drabi liason Dreamer of Bright Paths that Farseer Farruin had contacted them too and offered words of warning against allying with humans and sticking around for longer than they absolutely must.

Click to shrink...

Similarly, for all we know this is a Cunning Eldar Plan to make the Kil'drabi stick with us because they know the Kil'drabi will be distrustful of the Eldar's motives for telling them this and deciding to stick around out of spite. Who the fuck knows what any given Farseer is cooking up at any given point in time.

I consider anything that isn't outright bad to be good, given how awful this setting is and how you're not pulling punches with it.

Only reason I would refuse the Eldar is if we suspected they are a Deldar party pretending to be Craftworld trying to trick us into opening up for a backstab. But that's probably unlikely since a Deldar party finding and figuring out we're worth trolling to death is unlikely compared to a Farseer seeing all the shit we get up to and deciding to mess around.

At the absolute worst moving with the Eldar timetable could do is maybe 'coincidently' right when we leave to go on the attack our system gets hit by behind from Orks taking the system behind us but that's a bit of a reach

by a "Farseer Farruin,"

May I just say even though I chose to accept the agreement since we were going to do this anyway, this Farseer has a very sketch name. Who names their kid Far Ruin?

To be fair he wasn't wrong.

You have been doing the wrong things for too long for them to not take notice, and for a Farseer to not take advantage of.
