Right, so should I go defend the train or assault the bean counter, lest he goes unconvinced?

Bearing in mind I get one free surprise attack in any particular encounter, presumably.

They’re not disnecromantizing.

My plan was to shout at Gorwan, then head to the engine 'cause my guy doesn't have the Presence to convince him, probably, though I was considering arguing what I'm presently doing is a Wits thing since I'm making assumptions about Gorwan and his motivations based on what the narrative is telling me.

I was then going to go hit the bean counter, but again, no Presence and I'm not sure about the combat system even with my character's free combat round, so I'll totes just go get murdered by the bandits 'cause I'm the only one actually messing about in the engine car, presumably.

Some Scottish Presbyterian ministers saw the fanners as sins against God, for wind was a thing specially made by him and an artificial wind was a daring and impious attempt to usurp what belonged to God alone.

Sometimes, it's rather nice to remember that despite the many stupid things we've done and do, we have at least gotten beyond screaming HERESY at mechanical fans.

Actually, I've never been to Scotland, so maybe they still do that there.

Mostly it's just screaming HERESY at sports fans these days.

It’s not even that, it’s rival sports fans using religion and politics as an excuse to kick duck out each other.

Fakeedit: eh I’ll leave it, it’s more amusing that way anyway.

The biggest issue with the US for voter turnout is probably the electoral college. If they assigned electoral votes proportionally as opposed to the 50%+1 gets all the votes, I imagine more people would be inclined to vote, though that would require me to look at data ‘cause I know some states do it proportionally and I can’t be bothered looking that up right now.

I was going to be protecting the train, 'cause fuck the workers 'n that. Specifically the engine.

But that’s where the butter goes when it melts, you fucking heathen.

Bottom needs to be crispy though.

The issue with removing the barricade is that it allows the baddies to leave with the train if we fail to stop the train attack.

Hess speaks up. He raises a cogent point. Gorwan scratches his chin. 'I'm leaving four of my men out here to keep 'em occupied while we circle 'round. You think they're gonna charge down at us? They look plenty cozy up there to me.'

((torn between so many options apparently requiring presence aarrgghh))

Cormac pinches his nose, and takes a deep breath.

"They look cozy up there 'cause they ain't gonna come down any time soon. There ain't no waste in the Rime, sir; they's up there to keep us distracted from whatever their buddies are gonna do down here. That means the engine or the connectin' part between the coal wagon and the people wagon." he gestures toward the boulders on the track, "Heck, they know where the train's gonna stop, but they holed up on a hill nearby. Not much but acorns up there, and they don't burn so good.

That means them boys in the hill ain't what we should be worryin' 'bout... 'less o' course you wantin' to be known as the fool who got nobbled by a buncha country-boy bandits?"

Conflict isn't something that is easy to deal with, man, particularly with a stranger. You don't know how they'll respond, you don't know how you'll respond to that and it snowballs from there into a massive uncertainty vortex in which anything could happen! I do it myself, my neighbours are asshats, and I'm reasonably sure one of them is unhinged.

Anyway, unless you are actually going out and making your problems worse by pissing people off and then running away, you're just procrastinating on solving your issues :P which I do, all the goddamn time.

My own thing. I know it was cryptic and vaguebooking, for which I apologise, but it's personal and I'm odd about things like that.

It does, however, need to be expressed, lest I break something (probably myself) before I talk about it with the person that needs the talking, because I appear to be stupendously angry about it, which is bothersome in itself.

I do not understand how people can acknowledge, even regularly complain about problems they have, while simultaneously engaging in behaviours that actively make those problems worse.

My mind boggles.
