Funny, I missed that metaphor. Good I didn't reply, it would've looked bad.

Remind me to chop both your heads off when I'm Prime minister

Actually, under Councillor Sanguinarius Mendax' Lex merda taurorum, you can't become prime minister unless you chop of your own head.

Well, I'll have to find a magical way to keep on going.

Demilich Wallen for PM, anyone?

They say that nobles have no heart; why not vote for the one that literally has no heart?

They said he was a soulless *******.

They were wrong about the soulless part, after he ripped it from their flesh and absorved it.

Now they are his main supporters.

Go PM Wallen and his Undead friends from Gleamers!!!

Dude. If I lose (WHEN I lose, as a begginer I don't expect to win), and if there ever is a Broken City 2, I'm SO coming back as Demilich Wallen.

Demilich Wallen: The only man with a permanent solution for feeding the poor.

Demilich Wallen: Because the right to vote doesn't die with your body.

Demilich Wallen: I'm going to live forever, you sons of bitches.

Pedal power? really? So many "trample" and "step on" metaphors there

I kind of lost track.
7 factions make up the council: The Ram Revolution, the Lodstom Party (headed by Lord Wallen), The EBSA, the Champions of Sovereignty, The Wardens, The Merchants, Dr. Vassari, and the Merchant's Guild. The vote to create the council, and on it's members, took place on pages ~7-12 of the IC.

What else are council members for, but to serve the citizens of their city?

Dekan O'vail reads Heladuit Courts response to ongoing propaganda... twitches in irritation.

That was... FUN to read.

Well, it's always good to have at least one faction of unrepentant Reactionaries/Revolutionaries to frame yourself as "reasonable moderates" against/paint as being the entire other side.

In one day I have been able to deliver brief lectures on both law and coinage in a fantasy world and read a public debate as to the place of nobility in society. Not really what I expected to be doing when I started running a game called Total War, but entertaining nonetheless.

oblivion6, you never gave me a reply, unless I missed it.

And yes, random worldbuilding is the best part of total War

Although now I'm kind of regretting playing a politically agnostic/quietist faction. Ah well, it's kind of fun roleplaying a guy desperate for results so the boss doesn't string him up when he comes out of the factory and learns what's been promised.

and I suppose I'll be getting my NPC responses at some more sane hour?

Well already posted a response, because this is perversely far more interesting and easier then a creative writing assignment.

Well yeah, but I don't think I can just print a transcript of the thread and hand it in. Or at least not without somewhat hurting my mark

and wonderful then, glad we could work that out.
