Didn't you leave of your own accord?

Katayanna would have but was rebelled on before she could. Katayanna still has a claim for that reason.

lol, if you want I can try and take a poll of how much people care about Brom. I'm pretty sure it would mostly result in people saying, "Who is Brom?"

Sucks to be you guys then. Knowledge is power, and you'd think people would do some background checks on new arrivals, especially high profile ones like Brom. But by all means, keep thinking Brom is a nobody. More fun for the rest of us...

He's only as powerful as you choose to make him. If we all ignore him, he's weak. If we all pay attention, he's strong. It's that simple. Sure, Kabrinskia pays attention to him, maybe: because, for now, he has the Aegis. Maybe they'll continue to pay attention in the future. Doesn't matter much. He has no special superpowers.

No, he certainly has no special superpowers.

But you have to be careful with this part:

QuoteIf we all ignore him, he's weak.

Strictly speaking, it's true. However, you have to watch out for who the "we" is.

Yes, you can ignore him, and Sacha can ignore him, and Dustole can ignore him, and all the people you tell about him can ignore him.

But that's still not everyone in the game, or even everyone in the 'moot.

And just because certain people tell you they're ignoring him doesn't mean it's true.

This is exactly the kind of mistake I made with Alanna one too many times.

Shhh....

How am I supposed to manipulate the Kabrinskia vs. Terran war if you keep telling people to ignore me.

Although, regardless of what people want to say about it. Even if it is attempted to ignore my character, you don't suddenly eliminate all of his friendly contacts that he already has in your realm. He's a member of many guilds and a few secret societies and now the biggest religion.

Alas, I can't compete with Katayanna though, who misspells her own character's name.

Perhaps I will regret asking this question, but it seems like without the answer I am a bit lost on this thread.

Who the $%#& is Brom, and why is there even a debate as to why we should care who he is?

Apparently he's the most important thing to talk about in this war. Don't happen to agree that much myself, as I think the terrible military tactics by each side is more interesting, but Brom was the one who brought the Aegis of the Zuma to Kabrinskia and thus gave Kabrinskia their choice in favors...which could theoretically affect the war effort.
