*realizes he's far below in 12th place*If the quantity of one's arguments equated to their quality, then I would still reign above you; I may be the weakest of the four heavenly thread kings, and those thrones ever shifting as the days turn, save for BoneyM's unreachable and constant star, but I still wield that dreadful power.
I'm reasonably sure that Veekie is actually an extremely advanced AI that hasn't conquered humanity yet only because all these quests keep distracting him. It's the only reasonable explanation.
Personal thoughts so far are:
not strictly true.
Fuel and morale, I'd imagine. They trade a complex chemical substance that requires special handling for a tub of water and an enchantment, and the sometimes lesser damage gives the poor soul longer to let all his friends know how horrible their death was, in a system where your formation breaking means you're done for.
Regimand, to discuss all the weird stuff that's going on? We saw gods doing their thing, and had to stare every one of our victims in the face; he's the only one I could think to talk to about it. I'd imagine he'd be awfully proud of how cool we are in every aspect of our lives, but also supportive.Personal thoughts so far are:
-Algard - Headpats for Waaaghbane! We're not addicted, we can stop any time.
-Belegar - Thorgrim Confrontation? Or does he want to mull over what to do there before he commits?
-Kragg- The Eye of Gazul - Already did it.
-Gunnar- The Eye of Gazul - Already did it.
-Ulrikadrin - So what about the Ar Ulric business?
-Anton - Is the factory opening this turn or the next?
-Johann - So...that was a big beehive we kicked over huh? Also punching greenskins in boiling soil, what does it feel like?
-Hubert - You have found glory at the Gates, what now? Will your Journey move on or will you seek something new?
-Gretel- Death gods, Morr or less. Already did it.
-Panoramia - So...about using the Eye of Gazul for agriculture...I went and did it
-Fransesco- How do you find your spot as leader of the Undumgi now that Eight Peaks is taken? Think we did this already.
I think the idea is that you BLUFF, but not CHEAT. The odds are sacred. Your opponent's judgement is shit.
Yeah, Ruprecht is definitely fairly interesting and someone I'm going to vote for. Talking to the Al-Ulric is definitely going to lead to a vote of whether we want to do whatever the Al-Ulric wants or not.
I look forward to accidentally terrifying him again by starting our conversation off with "so the Ar-Ulric asked me to come talk to him".
if we are allowed to talk to Ruprecht first we can go 'so I have a meeting with the Al-Ulric in a few weeks... anything you want to get your side of things said before then?'
Yeah. I mean, it does make sense that Math would go to him. They're not friends, but certainly friendly and he knows a lot about Ulric's cult.
Unless it comes up at the next council meeting, Mathilde had no way to see or hear what those reactions would be.
.... it says so much about Mathys social skills that 'guy who is terrified about us deciding he should die' is 'certainly friendly'.
we should get that rumor mill next turn, it's really starting to matter.
Please merge double posts.
all ready did
Water is more available and less hazardous than flamethrower oil.
Actually we knew this one. We even had an EIC option to pre-empt it.
The point is still good though, the rumor mill-tree option will let us know what is most important to build.
Also to elaborate on this: Keep in mind they don't have significant sources of petroleum or mineral oil in general. A lot of fuel oil is going to be extracted from lard, tar pits, wood distillation, etc. Which means that flow consistency is a major concern, organic oils tend to congeal at lower temperatures, and keeps poorly because the impurities means its an ongoing breakdown process.
The ghost of Mathilde Weber, standing behind Belegar IV, shouted, "Not my fault this time! It just pays to be friends with the Jades, okay?"
Well thats true, but I'd note that the threat is well known in general, just that people once again applied modern sensibilities to a medieval/renaissance period environment, it was argued and quite solidly.
Those options are popular now. In the quests time period, gambling usually happens between players with very portable dice or cards, instead of against a casino with bulky and complicated paraphernalia.
