Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

"Sir, we have discovered rumors that Eval may harbor nationalistic separatist sentiment and that this may pose some problems with regard to their overall obedience to the Empire's authority."

"Sir, we have discovered rumors that Eval may harbor nationalistic separatist sentiment and that this may pose some problems with regard to their overall obedience to the Empire's authority."

That's too good for the spymaster.

I'm guessing something more like "Sir, we have word that two or more powerful nations in the area might have some sort of hostilities with each other. We're working on tracking down exactly what nations these might be and how hostile they actually are with each other."

A Here's hopin' for some good news.

 when talking with damdamians we should try to convince their diplomats that the first one was an idiot (or our father wasn't the best with the words) and was giving wrong info to their troops, or just cover that they are meddling with a casus bellis where they weren't invited

[Haspen]

You decide to meet with the Spymaster first.

In the side corridor, he leans to your ear.

"Sire, the Evalians have managed to rout the Damdamian force that tried to establish themselves in that region, causing them thousands of casualties and capturing lots of supplies and even few dozen Fireblood machines. They are currently chasing some wayward Lametanian raider groups across the countryside of their province. My agents met with these Evalian 'patriots'; they expect to be rewarded for their efforts with independence or autonomy of some sort."

"Is that all?"

He nods, and with knowledge that Damdamians lost one of their objectives, you return to the audience room and let the diplomat in along with his dozen of guards.

"Emperor Houlandin II!" He begins with angry tone. "Your father has begun, and you are continuing, an unlawful and barbaric assault upon the fatherland of our friends, Lametanians. We possess advantage both in numbers, supplies and weaponry. But the casualties are mounting, and they include the previous Emperor of Methiant. Therefore, Crown Prince Lupus Onigirus Rucus offers a treaty, which copy I've brought to you." He takes out a scroll from beneath his robes and unfolds it.

"The Emperor of Methiant will issue formal apology to the peoples of Rucus and Lametania for causing this war. Empire of Methiant will send its yearly quantity of silver and gemstones to repay the peoples of Rucus and Lametania for their lost sons and fathers. Furthermore, the province of Eval will be released from Methiantese Empire, allowing peoples of Eval to choose whether they will remain a separate nation or if they shall return to Kingdom of Lametania." He folds the scroll and looks at you.

"Crown Prince however has noted certain 'qualities' of Methiantese leaders both modern and previous, and therefore I was given the right to negotiate on the Prince's behalf."

You decide to...

A) Accept all these conditions, as they're somewhat generous.
B) Attempt to negotiate some better deal. After all, they expect us to!
C) Throw the insolent diplomat into the dungeon and resume the war.

[Harry Baldman]

B - they are definitely reaching with the Eval bit, but the reparations and apology are reasonable. We're an enlightened monarch, after all, unlike our father! Surely there can be some compromise between our peoples in the interest of a lasting peace.

Should definitely reward the Evalians though, they've done good. Maybe upgrade them to vassal status or something.

[mightymushroom]

We are continuing? Whose army is attacking on whose soil?

B

Actually, we can use the Evalian autonomy thing, since it looks like we'd be doing that anyway for our friends the "patriots." If we're quick we can get something from both sides on that count.

[milo christiansen]

Yeah, they get to be an imperial client state rather than a direct territory after this. We still rule, but they get some more wiggle room for local laws and such.

Anyway, B, certainly NOT A

May go c if they don't move well.
