I agree. I am surprised that Zonasa has not tried harder to portray Arcaea as standing in the way of justice and all that. I would think that they would be doing their best to outline this as an attack by Arcaea and try to get people on board. Sending investigators sounds so silly to me!

Morgan is extremely anti-confrontational. Almost absurdly so.

For him to suddenly flip and start declaring that Arcaea is a brazen imperialist bent on world domination or something would be a huge departure for him.

Which is why Zonasa should elect Baranion Ruler, instead! ;D

I am new to the Far East and have a lot to learn. At the same time, I was not even going that far. Something like "An agent of Arcaea tried to kill me and Arcaea is obstructing due justice. They are responsible for the actions of their nobles at the least and this wanton obstruction only makes them more bad. Please join me into pressuring those bastards into giving me the infils head on a platter." sounds like a minimum to me... Can a Cathayan vote for this Baranion dude?

I understand that there are only one or two of those people left.

Not sure, myself.  Most of them were Arcaeans, for the obvious reasons.  I know there are at least two left, and those two are in a good enough position to stop Jenred should he do something as insane as declaring himself God-Emperor.

@Bedwyr: so, the lesson is Jenred is crazy?

Yes.  I've been saying it for years.  I don't know why no one believes me...

Perhaps because Jenred has been the kind of crazy that gets !@#$ done?

I suppose so, yes.  Doesn't mean he's not nuts.

Um, this has gone extremely off topic. Perhaps if you want to discuss this, split the thread into a new topic?
