I'm sorry that this dumb Lion divination has become the deciding factor in everyone's vote.

I also think it's pointless to do, but on the other hand I think that Nurgle has better choices for every other difference between the plans.
 
can we have the personal action be put towards sounding out BOTH onplanet AND offplanet partys?

both sides of that particular difference have good reasons honestly.

it makes sense that on-planet parties would be invested and the ones we really talk to.....but off-planet parties would be where we can learn some lessons from their failings....which is kind of a avernite thing to do right?

why not do both?

Because we have a limited number of actions per turn and might try and sound out some planetside groups later, after we've checked with the groups which are on our scale.
 
I am still waiting to hear back from Durin on the questions add but I hope it's not too late. I think we should do the Automate another action so we can get enough Mobile research facilities to explore and not risk the army as soon as possible. I want to do these so we can meet the penguins for so many reasons. Also by doing the automate region and putting off the huge AM force till next turn these turn we can expand another forge hive to a huge forge hive.

I just don't see any reason that action can't be both tho...."investigate succession options: involved parties and historical lessions" or something like that. its not like we are not already doing a write-in and it doesn't seem like it should take up a entire time-slot to read up on history or ask people about this.

ask JUST our people and we might end up making the same mistakes our allies made and/or missing out on good ideas on how to make this work with the trust's culture/history/beliefs.

look at JUST our allied succession methods and we might end up angering our people and/or missing out on good ideas on how to make this work with Avernus's culture/history/beliefs.

maybe it makes both less effective by having spent less time on both, but I'd say thats fine cas saying either is better then the other is likely false. the best decision here is the most informed one which requires the whole picture....not just a jagged, half-one.

if nothing else we can at least say we TRIED to make it work with info and thoughts pulled from all relevant parties/sources.

Could we please see about taking some of our defensive admin options like the defense slits or illusionary pines over the timeskip?

Once we get the Bloom Bees up and running we should look into exporting Illusion Pines and Carniflowers to other Trust worlds.
Agri-world biotitans and Hive-world tyranid swarms.
 
So a random Epileptic Tree that came up on Discord:

This was Chaos Quest all along. The details were there but we never saw them.

First. Tzeentch.

Tranth. Tormod. Turoq. T.

Tranth constantly brings hope by inventing new stuff, which also an aspect of change. His lucridous success rate is easily put down to daemonic sorcery help - Did you really think upgrading ancient technology in a decade or so is a thing that happens in WH40k? Nope, didn't think so.

Tormod. All his luck is a remarkable major blessing by Tzeentch, so blindingly obvious. Next.

Hell, look at Surt - Or should I say, Trus? He pulled a a Vlad by flipping his name (Gods this is a major recurring theme). Look at how he bamboozled the Council into thinking he was incompetent random warrior when he actually has awesomegrade stats across the board!

Did you really think Jane killed the Changeling? What's more likely: She did, or the Changeling did so and replaced her, before proceeding to ram that massive lie through the proverbial gates of disbelief? After Changeling defeated Jane, it just spun a tale about how it was itself defeated. And we all bought it.

/

Next. Nurgle. Holy number 7.

Rotbart.

Rot-Bart. Rot. ROT. It's even in the name, holy crap. There's even a medical issue called 'Bart Syndrome'. We just need to eye Skewfiend again as to how he managed to push this through along with Dalv=Vlad revelation. Rotbart even has 7 letters in it - Nurgle's holy number. And what else has 7 letters in it? Avernus. Helheim. Both names for the planet. Both 7 letters.

It is no coincidence that Rotbart could flourish as a general here, and what is in truth a Nurgle Daemon World. And it is also no surprise there were so many plague outbreaks among the population, or how Nurgle is one of the top contenders of Chaos worship on Avernus. And it is no surprise again when Rotbart and Tormod have their great conflict with how Tormod should be the next governor - Being Tzeentchian, Tormod utterly disliked Rotbart. Being a Nurglite, Rotbart unconditionally loved his son. Nurgle had the domain of familial love, after all.

And all the cultists we catch on Avernus? Who's to say they were just executed? The Changeling, in disguise as Jane, has been secretly trying to overthrow Rotbart for centuries now. Ever notice how we have yet to have a Nurgle or Tzeentch Daemonic Incursion? No? The planet is in a constant, massive duel between Nurgle and Tzeentch! The other incursions are just sideshows. We just never notice the eternal duel between them.

Do you think Turoq's attack on the Trust was a coincidence? Tzeentch vs Nurgle. No coincidences.

There's further suspects, Jacob, said to have been catapulted into the Caverns by a rogue psyker, such fools we were. He was also said to have made friends with a Nynye queen, Lulana. Nynye are defined by their totalitarian social ladders and their lowest rungs of society being populated by mindless drones, a likely favoured aspect of them for the Abomination! Jacob was mever sent to the caverns, he was replaced by another Abomination demon, explaining his new powers, alongside Lulana, also an Abomination demon, both of whom are HIDING in a DOUBLE BLUFF pretending to be ignorant of the Nurgle/Tzeentch war while being IMPLANTED SPIES FOR TJAPA! The augmentation was never an augmention, it was a ruse to let Jacob reveal his full power! And his name is five letters, Tjapa's favoured number! The pieces fall into place!
 
Addendum: Rotbart reversed is Trabtor, also 1 letter away from Traitor.

PC is a Dual-Ascended Daemon Prince of Tzeentch/Nurgle. With the former explaining his Paragon martial trait.
 
I'm just waiting for the panic when Durin reacts to this post as insightful.
It is only fitting we discover the horrifying Truth (oh look another T) on Halloween. Our PC's True Name is Trabtor Rotbart, Trabtor for Tzeentch and Rotbart for Nurgle. He goes by the more affable Frederick when conversing with other mortals. Also explains the lack of Tzeentch/Nurgle incursions rather disturbingly well.

But are you sure he hasn't fallen to Khorne as well? He happens to have armor suspiciously Khornate in effect. Weakening psykers? What does that sound like? ;)

Frederick (9 Letters) Rotbart (7 Letters)
9 + 7 = 8 * 2 = 16
