He's right. Capital letters are simply capital for instilling authority in one's sentences. Simply capital, I say!

I think that judging by the distances and times, the revolution will be well over by the time they get here...

If you want people to buy that, you should really come up with a pretext that has at least slightly fewer holes than a block of Swiss cheese. :razz:

Well, I hope Mr. Druganov was as insulting as possible there.

He certainly succeeded there. Unfortunately for diplomacy and peace, dueling's legal in the Star Kingdom. If Druganov doesn't withdraw his remarks, it'll be the Countess's duty, as the senior noble present, to kill him.

That might be cool to see how that plays out actually.

Druganov isn't an easy mark though, the entire reason that he's head of mission is that he's a combat veteran with a hefty war record (And political conections). He is also a gene engineered soldier who was made big enough to use support weapons without power armor or the like among a few other enhancements.

Oh, so he's about a match for a Zambaran, who are about the build of a Wookiee only with an extra pair of arms. :razz: Sorry to rain on your parade, but we're not about to have dueling in the assembly hall.

I'd imagine not. But it would certainly make the six O'clock news worth watching anyway :lol:

On a more serious note, Druganov would probably refuse to duel or do anything of the like because he would consider that legitimizing a social structure that he despises.

It's probably a good thing for the Countess, that. And me, since I'd rather not make up another ambassador. :)

BTW Karmic, if we have a deal on this planet development thing, how do we want to write it up in the main thread?

PS: Darth Raptor I'll have a response for your latest post later tonight as well.

Maybe Maybe not Rogue. But out of the five people who can directly intervene in the situation / are adjacent to Llaeler three are in on it, one is gonna try and war profiteer and the last is a sinister robot intellect that's been worryingly quiet so far.

The reason the lies are so pathetic is because, well, they're lies. There's only so many ways one can bend the truth, after all. Darkevilme raises an excellent point, however: At the moment, there's precious little anyone can do about it.

One could at least go to the trouble of having a better set-up; this was just sloppy. :razz:

This robot intellect is perfectly content to let the organics try and cut each other up. If they involve themselves, it will be in an attempt to escalate the situation. ;)
