@777 (nice number :D):
She is no longer fit to rule and there are few months since she is sick. The Council promised us that we should have found the elixir which could heal Her Majesty. Lies! Now, we are promised that she will recover as soon as we defeat the demons. What's next? Maybe she is a Dark Witch trying to weaken us for her faction to get over the Empire. She decreased our wages, she increased the general costs of living in this Empire. Now, she brought us two wars. Her and Her Council. I say, we are not slaves! I say, we demand to be treated with respect! I say, to arms for a better Empire! |
"777" was the title of a book by Aleister Crowley...a warlock from another dimension that I visited in my youth...I am surprised anyone here knows of it....
however...I do see a disturbing logic in what you say. The issue is complex....and yet one simple fact stands out... Do you expect better treatment under the rule of these rogue Demons?
I know not what to think....and so I will take the simple way...and fight these rogue Demons because not to do so is to rob us of a chance to address these issues you talk of later. |
Do you expect better treatment under the rule of these rogue Demons?
No, I didn't mean that. I meant we need to take over the Empire and to select a new ruler. We will fight on both fronts. If we postpone our goal, we will never get out of wars because everyone will attack us continuously. We need to stretch our limits in these dreadful times, but we will be well rewarded after with a little bit of peace and prosperity when we will be able to prepare ourselves for expansion. |
Indeed, we don't know what a change in leadership would bring us but I'd like to think it can only change for the better.
The council has had the chance after our war with the venomancers, but instead of adressing general problems they organized a festival to keep the people happy and ignorant and fill their coffers. Because do not doubt it, even with a 15% discount on buildings they tempted a lot of people into changing faction who otherwise would never have. However what they didn't know is that in doing so they unleached the wrath of the underworld.
I for one would like to welcome my demon bretheren if only they wouldn't be too stubborn to hear me and keep on attacking. Nonetheless I will keep trying to make my intentions clear to these newcommers and pledge my allegiance to them whenever I get the chance. Down with this rotten empire and its empress! |
And as a proof this leadership needs to be changed, let's have a look at the Councilor Feurlis' transfer log:
12-14-10 14:40: Received 606800 Gold 123 Gems 123 Crystals 143 Sulfur 283 Mercury 394 Ore 369 Wood from Empire : Defend the Detention block at all cost.
10-18-10 22:00: Received item(s): 'Ruby gladius' [62/70] from Empire
And that is when our living costs were increased and our wages were decreased. That's the way our Empress and Her Council wants us: slaves for their fills.
In addition, naviron was right. I don't deny the help Arctic brought to us, but the rules are the rules. Nevertheless, our rules do not apply to our Gods. But as long as he is not appointed as one, he must obey the rules that everyone respects. |

I am too meditating on this issue. Is fighting for our Empress while questioning Her every order a contradiction? To terminate (or at least suspend) my allegiance to Her would be an act of courage (as I am following my sense of righteousness and not Her commands), or is keeping that allegiance in sight the only thing ensuring my sanity?
I am very troubled by what happened to Lord naviron. After proving to be Her most loyal subject, he falls in disgrace. Is that what expects every follower of our demented Empress?
Demons attack... not easy to meditate while enemies stand to crush me. |
Alas Lords,these attacks have stopped your Brain from thinking clearly..
Naviron was faithful to the Demon who possessed Thy Highness..but in his ignorance.
The Demon to hide his presence..reduced his control over Highness,and when a bit out of control she did all she could..but in hurry and without proper understanding.She thought Naviron to be a Demon's colonel and after that you all know what happened.
Or so I think :p |
| Lady sry you have the right of it I think. But as Lord Syrian says...it is hard to mediate whilst being fried to a scrunge every half an hour. |
for Rilin:
That is well true,Lady Rilin =/ |
| We are loyal to the empress, not the demon contolling her. We shall destroy as may demons as we must and the councilors will lead the empire until he demon can be banished. I am sure Arabat Flamesoul the 4th and Bilir are working on a solution. |
@791:
...as they were working during the Unholy Wars? |
| We do need advice from Lord Arabat Flamesoul for certain Lord Narbarian-Fishy |
@791. Something I heard Jedi-Knight say once, I think applies here. I find your lack of faith...... disturbing.
I have seen Concilor Feurlis, Councilor Bilir, and Councilor Arabat Flamesoul the 4th questioned on very flimsy pretexts, and it has turned out that there was no wrongdoing. Ther are demonic gates appearing in the empire from the Demons Arabat Flamesoul the 4th was banished from, and still people question the councilors?
It was right to question the Empress as her actions were wrong. It was wrong to raise arms against her, when we were offered a peaceful solution, and that is why I said the rebellion was wrong. Show me some meaningful reason to doubt the concilors, not just some nebulous belief that they should have found a cure. |
for Barbarian-Fishy:
I find your lack of faith...... disturbing. (Star Wars, ep. 4, Darth Vader's line to defend the belief in the dark side of the Force)
Ther are demonic gates appearing in the empire from the Demons Arabat Flamesoul the 4th was banished from, and still people question the councilors?
Yes, I do. Who accepted the demon festival? Councilor Arabat Flamesoul the 4th just proposed it. But who had the power to accept it?
It was wrong to raise arms against her, when we were offered a peaceful solution
Which was... the duels between a councilor who had full support of the Empire treasury while his opponents worked hard even with half of their salaries? How fair was that? Even with that, we proved we are good warriors. Don't we deserve more for that?
Show me some meaningful reason to doubt the concilors, not just some nebulous belief that they should have found a cure.
Wow! Show me the sun in a sunny day! :D Sorry for my mocking tone, but read my posts once again. I gave you the most painful decisions our "dear" councilors took.
Also, read again what I proposed, not what you think I proposed. |
we need to take over the Empire and to select a new ruler
Show us how that is even remotely possible (sounds like pure madness to me). And who the new ruler should be?
Let us discuss this as an academic possibility... "High Treason" is not a crime I wish to commit |
| You want more of the leadership lies? Here is one many don't know or forgot: they promised us during the Dragon War that we would have factories with higher wages. Where are they? 208 the highest not considering the diamond mine. And there are 2 years in which they increased our costs of living gradually and decreased the hourly salary to half. What more meaningful meaning you want? |
Show us how that is even remotely possible (sounds like pure madness to me).
Everything is possible in this fantasy world, don't you think?
And who the new ruler should be?
I haven't proposed any, have I? There are a lot of good warriors in this "world". More than that, there are far better options than a sick Empress. ;)
Let us discuss this as an academic possibility... "High Treason" is not a crime I wish to commit
"High Treason" depends on which side comes out victorious. If a revolution is successful, then its leaders are heroes, otherwise, just traitors. Think about! |
Well CGS I think you took syrian wrong.How is it possible for us to change the ruler huh ? We can't do any polls since this is a monarchy..so no use.
Even if we raise againts Empire,how would you think we would be able to execute our plans and not have ourselves executed ?
You must pity Thy Highness b'coz she can't do anything.. |
// to all:
okay guys, since the competition of bag'o'boney is over should I lock this thread and you could create a separate one to have those discussions on the current events and/or your plans or will it be more convinient to you guys if I leave this one open so you can keep those discussions here? |
