Yeah, it's really gone downhill since then...

Yeah.. Ohnar went so down that she actually came up on the other side.

I really hope Morgan trying to be the voice of reason doesn't actually convince anyone to be reasonable.

Actually, he hopes it doesn't convince anyone, either, which is why he's being somewhat half-hearted about it.

Why even do it?

Pft! Like /his/ words are going to stop Sorraine. Instead, they've given us useful tactical information, as we can definitely expect their armies coming up north. Hopefully Cathay can be recreated a.s.a.p. Wouldn't be a real world war without the guy in the middle.
The adherents of different religions in a realm should compete for power, influence, and fresh converts. They don't even have to be killing each other to do so. I wish people promoted the prosperity of their religions the same way they promoted the growth and prosperity of their realms. - Geronus

...soon as Galiard's done convincing the bureaucrats that he's "familiar enough with Anacan" to secede!

To keep up appearances.  And because it's in character for him to at least make some attempt.

There's too many people trying to huddle in the middle and not show their hands for a real war to break out. Arella's trying to do what she used to do oh so well- force people to polarize so the haze becomes clearer.

It's better than before, when no one really cared about much to do with anything.

Yeah, but... look who you elected as ruler... embarrassing.

Oh dear, should I be bailing Galen out just so Zonasa has priests to fight back with?

Yes.


By arresting him you've just effectively killed everything remotely fun or interesting in Zonasa....  :-\


Back to silence and half starving cities. *sigh* why does Zonasa run off every single interesting character?

Not to mention that was the biggest sham of a boring trial I've ever seen in BM; in retrospect I'm not even sure why we bothered with the drawn out charade.

Right, because there's no chance of anything else coming along once we put this whole sordid affair behind us.

Sadly I did not log on in time to stop the arrest, I was rather hoping that you might take Haul to Toupellon or something and give us a good cause for war . . . well, and Morgan just didn't want that sort of disorder, but it seems like it was not to be avoided.

*shrug* Sure, but I was there quite a while before this whole thing with not much action...

Even if I was planning on that, I would've at least waited until the damn trial ended! Feels like the whole Tribunal was a freaking waste of time now since they just up and arrested me before the thing was even over. Didn't even get a chance to deliver my closing defense!
