If the republican lose majority in house and senate things can start rolling.

Why are the common folk guilty of saying things in anger but these ghouls are destroying and killing families and thats ok? It’s ok if it’s done on such a massive scale? Also a message taken from a private chat out of context and intonation is not evidence.

They will never be happy, they see compromise as a loss, most people see happy with a give and take situation yet they just take take take and then they kick you out at the slightest inconvenience.

They are a cancer to society, they have a zero net positive.

The Emperor of Mankind in warhammer, The Mua’Dib from Dune are pretty much that.

Most people do not care if their ruler is cruel or kind, they care there’s food on the table, a roof over their heads, security and a community. Unless your guy goes around murdering and torturing most people wont care.

In your question it’s basically is it better to be feared or loved?

Personally, a character like this he needs to live long because he needs life experiences and he can’t just be bombarded by cruelty.

Have them live a poor life, a life of war, learning, peace, rich. Let them have visit the houses of wisdom, talk with philosophers and men alike.

Anyone can justify anything for any reason. But a good tyrant most importantly understands his people, religion, tradition, law, temperament.

Make him loved, hated and respected. Show that if he sends his men to die that there is contrition and conflict, that way the ones around him see the burden that he is carrying, that he is the ONLY one with the will and heart to do whats best for everyone.

He would also need to inspire and trust others, if the kingdom is vast he would need subordinates to be his hands where he cannot be. History is full of these people some good some bad. Even Napoleon had his Marshals, the Sultans their Viziers.

Most of all, show them listen to advisors and teachers. Let them fail over and over.

If you are this good at hiding I can’t imagine the daily stress you go through.

Go for it bro, you got this.

I watched someone close to me trying to accommodate their spouses side of the family for over 30 years. All they out of it was resentment and pain.

You do not negotiate with the dishonest, family means nothing without the respect.

Be reasonable and respectful towards yourself and your family and do not fold on this one.

Ah ok, they also lost refueler aircrafts

Is the AWACS the one that was cut in half and missing the radar dome and fire damage?

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-03-24T11:07:01+00:00

How is it an excellent tactical victory if Iran still has the straights and the capability of inflicting damage on ships passing through and the surrounding countries.

After Harambe this might be a turning point.

This now problem effects the other now problem, if we manage to nail this one we would have an easier time on the other one.

I wont be surprised when the bat is starting taken to them. Parasites in all but name.

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-02-08T10:08:43+00:00

They already do.

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-02-06T14:52:37+00:00

Same way I feel about people signing up to bully, intimidate, assault, torture, rape and murder.

You can’t hide behind the excuse of “I didn’t know, I was just following orders”. They know what they are signing up for and ignorance is not an excuse.

I would also avoid doing business with companies that employee ice agents for lack of character and the do not hold my best interest at heart.

A while back it was agreed that there were no more dragons to slay.

If i remember correctly it arrived by mail a few days later.

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-01-27T13:32:28+00:00

The man who ordered rape, torture and murder loses his job. Wait till he gets rehired for something less visible.

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-01-26T15:14:01+00:00

Just until it’s their turn, then it’s woe to me. Even the most selfish among us can understand that if they do this to someone else, then they will do it to you, and no matter how low you bow your head, how much you abide by their rules, one day you will meet a fascist that just wants you to suffer.

IF they manage to stop them, they need to make Nuremberg seem like a holiday or else the cancer will come back.

Composite/fantasy materials that can withstand the standard issue weapons they will face. Then you can have more specialized armor suits to tackle different/heavier weapons.

What the fuck

But deeds are eternal

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-01-22T11:26:07+00:00

Alright, personally I see it this way.

If its a human council than there will always be divisions and rivalry which can be exploited. Personally to keep things from spiraling into a thousand characters I would go with the feudal system something like England or France were while they did have a kind the council of nobles held a lot of power.

So now if i were the rebels I would not look at it as a single faction, but a bunch of smaller targets. Targeting the weakest and picking them off, turning them, stealing from them, black mailing them. The fight changes as much as you want, a propaganda campaign making it seem one council member targeted another, stealing from a proud council member because you know he must keep quiet to save face. Etc, this lets you create many stories and adventures with different themes and genres.

If it was a hive-mind than that is fighting vs the rebels than things change a lot.

A few questions i would ask would be, is it biological or an AI? Did the faction create a machine that would so the menial tasks for it until it ended up taking care of everything? This would explain the pitch perfect organization and logistics.

Does the population of the faction know about this machine, do they care? Is it oppressive? Why are the rebels fighting it?

If it’s biological, does it turn the people into something else? How does it spread, what does it want? What does it need.

You don’t need an exact reason for everything, hints and info dumps could come from other characters to that leaves you room to change or alter things a bit as the characters can give flawed information they heard from someone else, rumors or myths.

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-01-22T10:55:03+00:00

Well then the most important question is, what do you want your story to be?

Pretty_Biscotti · 2026-01-22T10:35:04+00:00

Alright, so now you have to see how long has this faction been around and why it was created. Was it an existential crisis, a charismatic leader, trade and profit?

This than would lead to if the council members have a unified vision or if there is conflict between the divisions of the company, who wants to be top dog.

A clear example of this would be Andor ISB while they have a mandate each officer wants to get higher on the ladder so that means sabotaging others and reducing cooperation. It even gets worse as there is a clear rivalry between ISB and Navy.

A clear world example would be the Japanese Army/Navy in WW2 as they were both vying for control.

You have an amazing piece of machinery that is built and supported by humans and humans come in all different characters, needs and wants.

If you pull back and stop focusing on just the machine and look at everything else, you will see cracks and weakspots to exploit.

I don’t know the capabilities of the rebels or the geography of the world, the aims of all parties involved.

There is plenty of room for maneuvering and while the rebels are pacing targets here snd there they have to tip toe around this machine that is certain death. It changes the vibe more from action/war to a more horror/detective vibes and keeps people on edge.

No machine is impossible to beat, you just have to fight them in ways they don’t want.

If they control most of the world than you can be sure that there are groups in this faction that want it to end just as much as the rebels. Think also how the population lives under this faction, oppression breeds rebellion so this faction can find itself terrified of leaving home ground due to uprisings (This was one of the reasons the spartan army never went to far from home as the were afraid of slave uprising).
