    I do actually still want to come back to the Skjaldborg campaign to do the Clans, but that will have to happen after i get done with nursing school (a couple of years). :)

    So gentlefucks. How do you feel about being used as the personal army of a revenge crazed madman? Can we even trust his word at this point?

    You're the only revenge crazed madman I trust. I'll follow your call.

    I want to believe. Hell as long as we still get paid I guess it's okay.

    I mean, we would get paid.


    on the other hand, he's kept on caged on this shithole planet. And he didn't trust US enough to just tell us the whole truth to begin with, until his hand was forced by Drago.

    on the other other hand, I'm interested in a meta way to see how PvP would play out.

    either way, it's been an honor serving with you gentlebeings, and the Trump Cards must ride again, as our distant descendants, in Promethus.

    how about this: we kill Drago, get paid by Magnus, then kill him for being a deceitful bastard.

    There must be some payback of course. We can always duct tape Sullivan to his bunk and tickle him with a tentacle. Or bash his skull in. Whatever feels right at the time.

    Just cause we are getting paid doesn't mean that the Skjaldborg will be pleased if we go along with Sullivan...

    We're some mean mugging murderers, I'm astonished he would think we would need to be tricked to do our bliss

    If it won't fuck up Magnus's campaign, I am for attacking and apprehending Sullivan to turn him in to Skjaldborg high command

    something that came to my attention recently:
    http://www.theskjaldborg.com/index.php?threads/operation-terminus.7591/page-19#post-254203

    The confusion may or may not be directly tied to my work with the Prometheus campaign.

    without giving too much away, i wrote the campaign so there is no "wrong" or "right" choice... but *some roads* are certainly less paved with bones than others.

    The most obvious "peaceful" route is to neither fight nor aid Sullivan; you would simply be on the sidelines (although this would make the Gorettis very unhappy to say the least). The most obvious "destructive" route is to fight Sullivan. There are many choices between these two extremes, however.

    Perhaps more to the point, there will be PvP regardless of which choice you make; you don't have to worry about missing out on that. Your choice only decides who you end up fighting.

    rest assured though... I won't do anything lame like "rocks fall, everybody dies"

    from a strictly admin perspective, if this becomes an epic civil-war cluster fuck, we might have to decide things by proxy to accommodate people's schedules. that means we likely won't be able to do a full lance against another full lance (as awesome as it would be to pit Alpha vs. Delta). 8 players at once would just take too long i think. we would pretty much have to split up into pairs and use a ladder match system to decide victors.

    My current vote is: contact Skjaldborg ships in orbit, get advice from them. Barring that, aid Sullivan, get paid, then wax him or arrest him, whichever option presents itself.

    Given the money the Trumps have saved up collectively we could put a pretty substantial hit out on Sullivan if we wanted to.

    If we decide to go full lunatic on this campaign I vote we try to bribe the alphas and gamma by pooling our cash into a bounty on Magnus.
