Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
ijuin replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
It is impossible for the top leader to personally inspect and audit everything, so he has to delegate it to subordinates. Unfortunately, if the leader cares more about being feared than loved by said subordinates, then they will focus on placating the boss rather than on actual results. This leads the leader to be inside an echo chamber of “Yes-Men”, because he punishes whoever brings him bad news. -

Enough to make it hurt, but not enough to annihilate the USA completely. -
But does “killing” him merely force a reset into a new body and renewed personality with memories wiped clean, or is it total destruction such that there is no living remnant?

I would wager that they have kept a small number of warheads ready while letting the rest collect dust. -
“Immortal” does not necessarily mean “indestructible”—take Tolkien’s elves, for example, who can be killed but know no senescence or death-from-illness. That said, we do not know of any particular conditions which would prevent an Immortal in EGS from ever regenerating again, such that they would completely cease to exist. Possibly an overwhelmingly powerful attack on the astral level where their “soul” is supposed to reside, but it may take a massed attack from other Immortals to accomplish this, and be reserved for criminals who can not be rehabilitated through resetting.

There’s two levels of “assured destruction” at work here. If he drops just a couple of nukes and does not seem like he will use more immediately, then other nations will be satisfied with the destruction of him and his government. However, if he is an existential threat to any nuclear-armed powers, then we are looking at the potential annihilation of the Russian population and land as well. -
Voltaire seems to be the sort of Immortal who would have posed as a god back in the days where it was not strictly forbidden to do so.

That heavily depends on what is meant by “favors”. One or two nukes, he might get away with no more than having his regime overthrown in the aftermath, but the moment that he becomes an existential threat to world powers, there is no path left in which either Putin or the existing Russian government survives. If he goes all-in on nuclear Armageddon, then the Russian population is unlikely to survive either. -
Now I want to know how Pandora was able to attack the dragon without breaking the law.

Crab chowder sounds good. I am going to look and see if I can find that flavor around here.

Yeah, there is no real reason to have multiple copies, and if you don’t like those songs, then you don’t need even one copy.

The imp had an attack of three, and thus took three points of health per turn.

For a Scientologist, I would be far less concerned about him doing bonkers things and more concerned about plain old corruption—trying to swing sweet deals for The Church of Scientology and stomping on its enemies in court, while turning a blind eye to any torts that it might commit. -
Nanase is likely to be cast as the Evil Stepsister, since Tedd is Cinderella.

I hope you have or can get sufficient food to last till you get paid.

The imp is forcing Sarah into aggression—it has sealed off any possible moves by Sarah that would require her to complete a turn without making an attack (e.g. Hope could play a trap card that Sarah would have no choice but to trigger immediately).

Discussion of Military, real or fictional

Putin understands that using nukes will bring MAD down upon Russia. The question is whether he thinks that it is worth it. He may just be bitter enough to sacrifice Russia’s survival for his own glory. -
Discussion of Military, real or fictional

Since helicopter drones fly lower and slower than manned helicopters or airplane drones, it makes sense to use guns as anti-air defense once again. I can envision that the Russians will pull out the old WWII flak guns again if this continues. -
Pandora did claim that she “guided and empowered” werewolf hunters until they were all but extinct, in retaliation for Blaike having been killed by one.
-
“Real” werewolves in EGS presumably arose from an attempt to gain physical power by magically fusing the targeted person with beast attributes. The “being bitten by one spreads it to the victim” part is probably the result of some powerful curse, or else some idiot Mage’s idea of raising an army of werewolves that went bad when they found that unwilling werewolves were uncontrollable in the beast state.

Ooh, House Vermont is my mom’s favorite.

Ok, but seriously, I never saw distilled booze as a desirable thing to drink.
-
Although I have never comprehended how whiskey is in any way a desirable thing, I congratulate you on your purchase.

I’m not so into the villain side. Mahou Shojo is more my style.

In the Marvel multiverse, the Temple of Doom would be in Latveria.
