Allison's Eulogies

[cenrae]

You should have sided against her and stopped that one...

I couldn't I was leaving Alaska to go hunting with no known internet via phone at that time. Also I made a point way back in Xinhai that Khari would value loyalty above all. She viewed loyalty to Allison and the rest is history.

THat's because Terran went into psychotic mode and everyone started flaming her like wild jackals.

Other realms didn't care about her taking shortcuts due to typing on a mobile device, only Terran did.

She DID plot against us like forever...

Other people skip the titles occasionally, and they are not jumped upon. So it was just random flamefest mode that occasionally went on in Terran.

Not really, no. It was a reoccurring thing with her, and the player was asked politely to use them and then refused and became upset that we would request that.

Well Aurvandil is happy. That is all.

My only interaction with Allison was her trying to get me to vote a certain way for consul election and karibash said "what in the world could you offer me" and she never responded.

Never really understood how Allison convinced so many nobles to do so many things.

Same way Brom did. Time, Effort, and a 'Forceful' personality.

Edit: I forgot good looks.

[Lefanis]

Or maybe Mordaunt is grasping at straws because he doesn't like the Farronites?

He doesn't like them or dislike them per se, but perceives them as opportunists who care more about political clout than the church itself.

Its not like she never bribed people either though.

What do you think forceful meant?

Allison has always been a polarizing figure. You either loved her or hated her. Eventually both, more often than not.

I always enjoyed having Allison around. She was an exceptionally useful lightning rod. Difficult or impossible to control, yes, but it was possible to channel her efforts to an extent, and she would always end up taking all or most of the heat for anything controversial. Rowan was able to get a lot of dirty deeds done just by letting Allison be Allison and keeping everyone else out of her way when she was after something that furthered his interests. Allison would do all the dirty work and get all the accolades (and infamy) for it, and Rowan got to keep the high ground.

There are very few people who probably had any idea of just how ruthlessly pragmatic Rowan Geronus really was at times. I look back at what I did with him and suspect that his impact on Dwilight is probably under-appreciated.

How someone else's eulogy can be about you!

Yeah, that was just great.

Allison was given credit or blame for many things over the years that she had nothing to do with or even had no idea what people were talking about.  She took credit for stuff she didn't do simply because it made her seem bigger than she was.


She was the one who started calling people "Brother" or "Sister"  in SA.  that kinda stuck.  Also, she got SA to be founded in Caiyun instead of Zhongyuan.  Mathurin was Lord of the rural region and was about to found SA and she made sure it had a good founding.  That gold is part of what gave the church a leg up in the beginning. 


There was a rebel way back in the day in Morek.  I wish I could remember his name...   Well,  alleged rebel.  She was judge of Morek and was in the underground to keep an eye out for traitors.  I had it narrowed down to who I /thought/ was in the underground.  I asked them to place their unit as militia and then come to Donghaiwei and I would give them more gold to recruit a better unit.  When they got there I had an infil attack them and then banned them.  By the time they recovered from their wounds the ban had gone into effect and they were arrested in Donghai trying to flee the realm.  She executed them a couple days later. 

I did some ruthless stuff and I wish I could remember it all.  There are lots of good stories associated with Allison.
