Very nice of him.Ah.GM NOTE: The King appears to believe that a Knight should have a sword. He rightly surmised that you lacked the means to purchase one. Consider it a "housewarming" present.
Why were we given a sword? Badge/Symbol of office?
respawn with scuba gear.You're actually alive.
I plan on bringin a world into a age of science and reason. I'm not saying which one.Which world or which age?
War weakens as it allows for theoretically greater strength; science only weakens if it more than makes up for it.War keeps everyone strong, science (in excess) makes us weak. To have everything done for us *cough* magic *cough* then we will become weak. We can have these things, but not to where it exerts power over us instead of the other way around.Will the future be born of Strength, war, and change or will it be born of science, weakness, and stagnation? Either way, My goal is to get Humanity into space.Wait, why is Science associated with weakness and stagnation, but War with strength?
War weakens, Science strengthens.
Ah.Sure. Although, if we saved the king's life in battle, we probably know how to use the sword. We shouldn't, but we can.GM NOTE: You fought with a cudgel on that day. It was a small detail in one of the early posts, easy to miss.
Also, if the local lord doesn't tax people, that's less taxes than those paid by someone living somewhere where the lord does tax them.Wouldn't they already be taxed? Lots of the tax money is sent to the king, and I doubt tax collectors would care if there was a lord or not. W just need to take our share.GM NOTE: You get the feeling that this area hasn't been very well managed recently. As in, the tax collector rarely if ever visits. These people live in a quite, forgotten part of the kingdom (at the moment).
How come Xantalo's respawned?He respawned BEFORE Persus destroyed the ship. Or, rather, sent it to be flooded at the bottom of the ocean. I'm not respawning anyone until they can get out of the ship without drowning.
Wait, who made the Bloodthirsters?Oh god, Bucket is making a society of morality, cleanliness, and kindnessIt'll be fine as long as the infection is contained. If it can't then yes, we will have to send in the Plague Marines and the Bloodthirsters.
We need some disease ridden, immoral barbarians to march right in there eventually
And a devil/god of darkness
I think 10% of food produced is a nice starting tax. We should request something that not spoil fast. We may sell that in the town for useful stuffOr something like that.
That, and 10 hours a week work for our projects
Tax free land. Interesting option, surely that will make us popular among peasants. We may go that route, but that will mean no money... And still we need to force them working on our projectsWell, we could still sell them the land, but--oh, you mean a realm that is tax-free. Yeah, should attract immigrants.
Give them an option, be taxed or give work hours to our projects.Better idea: Require each citizen to give a certain amount of "Credits." These "Credits" can be given in cash, labor, or certain goods.
They've been willing to work for us, and feed us for some bizarre reason, why do we need to start forcing them to do more things for us :3Agreed--this is longer-term.
The best way to consolidate our power is to let them see that their day-to-day existence improves with our guidance. And if they actually refuse the "tax or work hours" thing, what could we do? It's not like we know how to use the sword. Let's just go slowly, calmly and peacefully until we have any way to apply leverage on them, alright?Sure. Although, if we saved the king's life in battle, we probably know how to use the sword. We shouldn't, but we can.
...Dying is undesired?And your point iiiiiiiissss?sneak around towards its hind leg, and then climb up towards its eyes to EAT THEM and go inside the dragon.No, that's suicidal.
