Maybe. The covered with metal plates could be armor, but it sounds more like a robot to me.

« on: April 19, 2013, 06:25:13 pm »...True, hopefully, because I seem to be the only one against violent action.Trouble can go over Arthur's head, though. Are we good enough friends with the Duke that he'll assume this invasion was just?If we mobilise an army, call allies, wave our banners in the wind and march en masse, it looks like an invasion, true. If we go with fifty retainers and the old Marshal, get the city guard and populace to toss Owen out themselves, re-establish the old status quo ante with the same old guard put back into power, it looks like justice done to an interloper and a murderer.
Any ideas on how to get the nobles to see it as such without the time to make the riots and such being taken?

When I mentioned Arthur remembering us, I mean we will still get preferred treatment if we hang back in the crowd now and let others feel as though they are moving this forward. As in Uriel.Good idea.

*crosses fingers*QuoteAnd I'm still not convinced that we can make this look like we aren't rebellious traitors. A rebellious traitor.I'm not convinced that anyone accepts Owen as lord. In fact, all signs point to the contrary. Behind Uriel, the screen is even more secure.

What a shocker. From my end, at least, given that 97% of what I know about Warhamer 40,000 is from TV Tropes, 1% from the 40k Wiki, and 2% from skimming a few books at the local game shop.

I hadn't come to the conclusion that the turn was eaten, in part because that was mentioned in the turn the last couple of times that happened.

...The female figure. We must build her. She's a robot, probably. Surely more interesting than a necklace or a drawing, and cheaper than the former.
Look closely at the cut-away, too.

« on: April 19, 2013, 05:54:25 pm »Which leaves all the guards, plus of course the diplomatic losses from killing a delegate to a diplomatic meeting.Who just so happens to not only be in power armour, but also has guards in power armour too.Bringing a handgun to a peaceful diplomatic meeting? Yeah, I'm sure that would go over well. And besides, a quick, forceful twist of a head should ignore any armor, because the spine is only so strong.
That, and handgun beats fist.
And, of course, you might just twist the helmet around the head, or even be trying to twist a mechanical swiveling thingy, depending on how the powered armor is designed.
But please, you're not going to beat a Tau player in one-upmanship.Tyranids?

There is a murmur of assent from the Sky Lords' monitor.
"It's official: It was a good idea to not come in person. Just like I said...Yes I did, shut up!"

What will we do, how will we "spin" this so we aren't the dangerous rebel trying to get cronies in positions of power or something like that?Reward a good portion of the old guard with their old positions, and have people like Uriel Lope doing the talking now. Arthur is not going to forget our role in setting this in motion, no matter who is doing the pointless babbling and strutting about during the action. That's why we defer to Uriel now.

Also, don't underestimate those rumours that we floated. They won't lose power after Owen is deposed. Rather, they become even more open and accepted after his disgrace.That's a possibility. Another one is that some important people or their advisors will consider the possibility that they were planted, due to the suspicious timing of the rumors' start and the deposition of the Count. There's even the possibility that the King won't make his decision based on rumors!
Not bad, but I've seen better. And I'm still not convinced that we can make this look like we aren't rebellious traitors. A rebellious traitor. (Man, this pronouney stuff is tough with suggestion-game characters.)

How about everyone not trying to stop you? Seriously, from what I'm reading everyone listening to you has very good cause to compare you to various supervillains.
