Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

To everyone voting to spare the queen, know this: It has been (mathematically) proven that advantage provides better results than a +1, and furthermore the extended bonus (+1 to a prototype roll at the cost of 2 dice) is even more worthless, since two revisions have a much greater effect than a +1.

Yeah but we're still not murderers, so we'll give the queen a chance/some mercy.

It's not like we can't go back and kill it later if it betrays us, sheesh.

I am abstaining from plan A at the moment. I would like to see a windrider dedicated to patroling our exposed flank. Last turn it performed admirably, supporting demispire defenses.

edit: also, not going to kill spidey. She seems cool and unlike the Master, no signs of being the slightest bit of evil yet. even if the initial deal isn't good, we can figure something out at a later date. Plus I want to hear some of those stories from the past.

We’re literally in cahoots with a giant spider now?
Just how much ammunition do you want to give the Kasgyre propaganda machine?

It's not like we can't go back and kill it later if it betrays us, sheesh.
That’s what we said about the Master, and guess what he blew up a spire.

We're likely not going to use her advantage, though. Just show some mercy.

You know what is better than mercy with no advantage? No heresy, more silk.
Spiders are tresspassers upon the righteous domain of man. This was our very first piece of lore.

We are literally fighting a war against spiders, and you guys want to spare one when it will cost us a useful bonus? WTH are you thinking? Are you thinking?

Also, name a single piece of fiction where the heroes have fought their way to the big bad, they’ve gone “fair cop. You win. Spare me”, the heroes have done that and it has worked out for them?

The problem here is that miss spider has no evil acts on her record. She lost a war we didn't even know we were fighting. From her point of view she was invaded, while we thought we were doing pest control.

Do you really think the spire was empty when she moved in?
This spider is undoubtedly (if even deserving of being treated like a sapient being) guilty of an incredible string of war crimes culminating in the losses of our very own soldiers which were doing nothing but attempting to resettle somewhere our forefathers had been driven up into by her very generation and subsequently culled by her very brood.

Yeah but we're still not murderers.
We are very much murderers. Or have you forgotten?

Dude, did you even read her backstory? She was created by humans, and co-existed with them for some time. And I'm pretty sure TC was never extensively colonised, or there'd be some remains of civilisation.
Seriously, you can't just fabricate :warcrimes: in order to justify murder.
