If everybody decided to put up zero content posts dedicated solely to sniping and/or whining whenever their preferred option lost, this thread would become significantly more unpleasant to engage with. Moreover, he was previously told by the QM that this behavior was less than acceptable and he persisted in doing it.

There's plenty of reasons to be against any relationship in this quest and expressing those feelings in a productive manner is perfectly fine. Two words of whinging is the exactly opposite of productive.

...He has repeatadly, not just in this quest, reacted to any LGBTQA+ representation with paraphrased "Oh no the yuri is taking over my site". As a bisexual queer thats pretty damn hurtful to me and many others. So no he is hurting people when he acts like this.

And I thought it was just a disagreement. This is pretty unpleasant and absolutely does cause harm if it's a typical attitude. Yet more reason for him to cut this shit out.

BoneyM could over rule me but I believe so. The Empire is a very loose confederation and Electors are quite capable or setting their own foregin policy. For example Ostland can go to war with Kislev without pulling the entire empire into war and the states can war on each other with out censer. For example, the only way the Karl Franz could stop a war between Nordland and Hochland was by having Gelt use magic to degrade the coinage that the Elector Count of Nordland was going to use to pay his mercenary forces. Besides all that the empire's states are all individually larger than any Estalian kingdom or Tilean city-state.

That and any Elector Count can be voted Emperor which kinda makes then the defacto as well as dejure royalty.
 
So in essence to Roswita is the Wizard equivalent of a explosives expert.
sees and uses the value of them, but still knows and respects that there is not much she can do if one goes off in her hands.
 
I had some slight sympathy for him the first time he brought it up, lesbian quest protagonists are really common even in places where representation isn't somewhere people are concerned with like 4chan and while I've no issue with them sometimes variety is good, but he just never stops...

I like Roswita as a character but I do think it'd be uncomfortably weird to go for her after having the hots for her now-dead dad. Just seems in poor taste.

I don't agree, I think constantly bringing Abelheim into who Mathilde is allowed to be attracted to is pretty weird.

Also a crush she had several years ago really isn't something I think should factor into things.
 
I think that "goats for the goat throne" tag is new?

Also how do you do the blur effect instead of using a spoiler box? On my phone if that changes anything.

It's really not, the Skaven are a global power (perhaps the only trully global power besides the High Elves), the Empire are a regional power. It would not even be a contest.

It wouldn't be a contest if the Skaven were co-operating perfectly and willing to give up all the other battles they're currently engaged in.

Both things that just plain aren't true, and will never be true. The skaven are about as cohesive as a faction as the Dwarves+Humans+Elves "faction"

Oh, I'm not all-aboard the Roswita ship, but it's nice to have some variety around here.

If we'd taken a hand in raising her or were using her as a replacement for Abel, I'd agree, but neither is the case; we met her for the first time when she was an adult, and our relationship with her is very different from the one we had with her father. Neither wife husbandry nor replacement goldfish syndrome are in play.

Though with that said, I still prefer Kragg; I would have made the 'shipping intensifies' joke for any character who was revealed to have the 'Affinity for Wizards' trait.

I agree, and more to the point I trust the GM to write any romance options with Roswita tastefully.

That said I'm still holding out for a high elf. :V

No one is perfect. And no one goes throughout this world making a difference, alone.

Failure is sad, in that it lead here to these circumstances - but having identified the shape of the problem we can build a thing, an advisory council or such, to help mitigate it.

It think it's a worthwhile endevor to do so.

She tried and failed. Do you know what that means? It means she recognises there is a problem and we have a window in which to help

Edit:also, she is Stewardship advisor, but this is more along a Diplomatic Advisor lines, with stewardship leaning. I think, considering his role and traits, it would be a a very good idea to get Prince Kazrik involved as part of the action.

arguably all she has to do is hire a human or imperial dwarf as a subordinate in charge of this part of the job that gives her the cliff notes of what's needed and she can just give him monthly agendas.

she is the Stewardship advisor. getting minions to do the parts that you cant is part of the job.

She also seems to be a bit if micromanager who has no idea how to deal with things she can't predict. Which is fine when working with dwarves. Not so fine with humans.

It's a bit weird granted
But for me I never read her attraction as anything more than a crush, a silly little thing that never really went more than surface level deep
I've said that I didn't get more than a close friendship with mentor overtones between Mathilde and Abelhelm, I mean he's actually old enough to be her father after all
So I wouldn't be overly bothered if Roswita romance happened, that being said I don't see much romance there either, too much baggage
They're still tiptoeing at the precipice between mutual respect and tentative friendship,
