After that I will disable control over the rebel faction and do not plan on taking control of them again. When and if they finally assault the settlements, it will be intiated by the AI, not me, so it will be a proper defensive battle for you to fight. I promise that nothing I do will force an autoresolve on a player, though I reserve the right to personally obliterate Captain-led armies in future Events by commanding the enemy attack myself.

Okay, this sounds good, I'll check out the army size but I'm gonna vote yes anyway, I'd rather have interesting expansion than an unstoppable blitz.

It might help to make clear that the event2 poll is OOC. I don't want Bananabob, or anyone else thinking they have to vote how I do.

IC however I will DEMAND OBEDIANCE! Bow you peasants!!! BOW!!!!!! Bow and scrape! Lick my boots and use your voting cards to pick the gravel out from between the treads!

For those people worried about expansion, Event 3 is already in the planning stage and it will almost certainly actively encourage expansion.

Far from my mind from calling a stop to Event #2, though I feel responsible for the whole ****load coming our way...

Though I could deal with Randolph and a half stack... A full stack is truly a nightmarish sight...

wait a minute...

We're in danger of losing Hypatos Hypatios!?!

Then the event must be called off!

I was counting on that title providing me years of entertainment.

It sounds like I need to pull out my KotR monologue on gaming philosophy.

I remember a long and detailed post in which I expounded on the virtues of "struggle" and the feeling of "accomplishment" rather than settle for the easy route of total domination and meta gaming.

Should I go find that and give it another shot?

Bah! Young wippersnappers, complaining about a single full-stack. Back in my day, I faced half-stacks of triple-silver and triple-gold chevron enemies. And the only reward for beating them was the knowledge that another one was going to take it's place next term! Kids today...
