Golems that can't move tend to work poorly.
And then we're getting closer to "animate object" than "inanimate object".

The soil of the gravesite seem to not have been recently disturbed, so if her corpse was dug up and removed it must have been several years ago at least.Or, the body might have rotted. Believe it or not, a well-made, varnished, and otherwise not-just-a-plywood-box-you-shoved-Grandma-into coffin can easily last longer than any fragments of body recognizable as such.
I saw the Lego Movie. It was interesting...it was a bit like a cross between Toy Story and Darkseed. And it had a plot, too, but I'm just trying to figure out how the two worlds meshed together because that's more interesting than contemplating any aspect of the plot.
It was amusing. Lots of jokes were drawn too far out, though.

A robot is, however, a much more complex inanimate object than any we've Bloodshaped. Sure, some fire lasers, but those are easy if you add magic to the mix. It's just a beam of coherent light! Moving parts? Lots of moving parts? Microchips? Those are tough, more complex to even envision.
It would be easy to give it laser vision, though.

There are some problems with that analogy.
1. When did she lie? Did I miss a scene where she stated that she was only 20?
2. The lack of information in question was utterly meaningless. "I am immortal" is kinda less important than "I am a spy".
3. There are many other explanations for why she hadn't told. She might not have thought it was important. She might not have thought it was appropriate to mention. She might have expected us to disbelieve her. She might have been waiting for a chance to mention it without coming off like "Hey, I'm over 100 gaiz, so yeah that's cool". She might not have known. She might not actually be that old, and the obituary you saw was simply someone with the same name or a similar appearance. And yet you assume the one thing that gives you an excuse to be a horrible person to Rose, who ICARUS is known not to like.
4. Will. If Rose was hiding something that big, he really should have noticed. Moreover, you could have spent two minutes alerting Will to the oddities and having him try to figure out what was up.
5. Military bases have a much higher sensitive material:local firepower ratio than the castle, between its lack of strategic value and the fact that it's crawling with magical people.
6. Most importantly, spies at military bases are given trials before they're declared guilty!
More Harald, the game's approaching its end. I decided to start working towards a scientific victory. In the meantime, Darius of Persia convinces me to attack Alexander the Allegedly-Great. I captured a few of his cities and attempted to offer him decent surrender terms (the army was taxing my economy and the puppet-cities were pushing me back into unhappiness), but he didn't even let me negotiate. Idiot. I just took one of his biggest cities, he only has a couple left, and my army's still on his doorstep.
Before all that, though, Korea declared war on me for some reason. Not much has come of that. They sent ships to screw with my most isolated city, also a major production capital and pretty much undefended at the time; I sent some ships, defeated their fleet, and began bombarding their mainland army. Once I resolve the Alexander situation one way or another, I'll be bringing my full might to bear on Korea. Unless they've surrendered by then.
Darius doesn't seem to be doing much in this war. Neither did Kamehameha, when he was independently at war with Greece. The AI doesn't seem to like invasions very much.

So. A person shows up to the castle and doesn't share everything about who she is (the details left out being ones that are probably completely safe to do so). Therefore she must be up to something.

1. I thought you said there were 5. My bad.
2. Why? I'm not saying you play omnicidalists every game, jsut that you do it more than other people.
3. By specifying "the past couple of months," you've guaranteed that I can't because (unless you count ER) I haven't played any games with you in that time period. Or many at all, really.

Which is still a hell of a lot more than anyone else.
And you also go omnicidal more often when playing minimalist games than most people.

Well, brief me on what the hell is going on with Rose and why ICARUS doesn't want anyone to know. From what I know, it looks like she's suspecting her of doing something for no good reason and is trying to force a confession out of her and/or find evidence.

Once they get close, use my teleportation abilities (which I've used and no one complained about) to go to the opposite side of the arena from the people trying to kill me.
Use Magic Dope Slap technique on the people trying to kill me.

1861. A revolution sweeps through the Danish Isles. A revolution of Order, and of equality. No longer will the far-flung islands be such a burden upon the leaders of the land, nor will they burden the common man. For a brief time, a wave of obedience and optimism, unheard of since before the Anglos, swept the Danish isles. Then the news came that the English cities and the Anglo-blooded citizens of the isles were to become treated as any other would be, and disorder began to set in once more...
TL;DR: I entered the Industrial Era and adopted the Order policy. I was glad that my happiness--which had just managed to reach 1--was up to 13! I promptly started annexing the English cities, hoping that the bonus Happiness from Order would soften the blow of adopting Order. I think that the puppet cities already counted, though. Current Happiness: -3.
Other notes: Darius convinced me to declare war on long-time ally but minor nation (competing for the bottom with the glorified city-state of London) China. I didn't do much with this before being offered a peace treaty, but during the war he overtook me in score. I'm not sure if it was from the war or if my struggle with unhappiness dragged me down, but either way...urgh.
Also, the islands south of me are kinda like Greece--they're full of city-states. Speaking of which, I discovered that Lhasa--dragged into war against me by England--was still at war with me despite the subsequent peace treaty and then England stopping being its ally. I...wow.
Also, I haven't been paying all that much attention to things. If something catches my eye, I respond; if not, I don't and will probably forget about it.
Has anyone else noticed that the original reasons that people didn't like magic are being ignored, genericizing them into anti-magic bigots?
It's supposed to be more this than this plus bigotry. In other words, magic and magicians are a danger and that's why we hate it.

((and Will does not respond to messages when the bracelet of those talking has been turned off))Which conveniently prevents her from taking any consequences for her actions.
