"What have you done, Dou Dou?" You ask.

"The governance you led was cruel, despotic, tyrannical. The people had no say in the matter. It was inevitable they would rise up against you."

"But I was no tyrant, Dou Dou. My father -your grandfather- led our tribe from the murky depths of ignorance. Within the span of two lifetimes, our people have gone from a tribe counted in hands to being uncountable! We have discovered new islands, we have sent out scouts that-"


"That died. And your response? A lazy 'keep waiting! I'm sure they'll be back soon!'" Dou Dou looks angry. "You sent those men to their deaths, father, and didn't have the decency to let their families bury them-"

"There were no bodies!"

"THERE WAS A HEAD!"

There's a moment of silence.

[Argonnek]

"Was there? I never heard of such a thing."

Better Housing>Floodwater prevention. We need to make our citizens happy first.

Build better housing.

You agree with your peoples demands for Stilted housing, And begin construction immediately. They seem happy with the new houses, and have less bruises from crabs attacking them in their sleep.

Erect stone wall in direction of Ash Mountain. Scary fire spirits there.

You also start to construct a new stone wall, replacing the wooden one as you go. Your city is now completely surrounded in stone, save for the gates.

Your food stockpile is stable
Your wood stockpile has been set to GOOD
Your city is encircled by a Stone Wall
The sea is bountiful.
The scouts have not returned
The harvest was fine this year.
You have had sons!
A head has washed up in the surf. Its features are unrecognizable.
The birds have vanished
Ash Mountain rumbles ominously!

This.

[NRDL]

WTF, did not notice that.

Agree to make some concessions, as well as respect the fallen dead.  If that doesn't work, stab the son with the new spear and run like hell.  We'll make a new tribe along the way.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

So... how does he propose running things?

[Sprin]

Tell him we heard of no such head
also menchin the cons to being king
more people wana kill you
responsibility
and say the pros of being prince
babes

and no responsibility
he is the smart one right?

[King_of_the_weasels]

"Rise up against me? I wasn't here son, you were."

[Karnewarrior]

Agree to make some concessions, as well as respect the fallen dead.

Dou spits at your feet. "It's too late father. The people spoke long ago. That it took you this long to so much as notice that your own people were dying is a testament to your failure."

If that doesn't work, stab the son with the new spear and run like hell.  We'll make a new tribe along the way.

You won't attack until he attacks. This is your flesh and blood. If you stab him, you make all his accusations truthful, and no-one will ever again trust you or your bloodline.

"Rise up against me? I wasn't here son, you were."

"Exactly. I've been among the people, I've heard what dark things you've done. Denying burials? Allowing the corrupt church to arise again? Your MOA MOA demands the blood of your people, and you give it to him for nothing in return! You are blind, father, and in your blindness you ruin your own tribe."

Tell him we heard of no such head
also menchin the cons to being king
more people wana kill you
responsibility
and say the pros of being prince
babes
lots of money
and no responsibility

He is the smart one, so he knows the pros and cons of rule.

"Father, the people do not demand your life. Leave now, and never come back. We have built a boat. Go, and never let us see your murderous face again."

[Descan]

There must be some people who would come with us. Tell him we will leave peaceably if given the opportunity to ask the tribespeople if there are those among them who would join us.

If there are, woo. If not, ah well, we still have the guys who came with us, and the horse, and the spearswordthing.

[NRDL]

Leave, with or without any people.  We'll scheme our asses off later, to raise a new tribe and gut this treacherous one. 

[ansontan2000]

He is smart. He has a point. I see no reason why we should continue with tyrannic hereditary rule. Perhaps we should make our new tribe's government more representative?

[NRDL]

No. 

[Karnewarrior]

Are you sure you wish to leave the tribe? Any dicisions made WILL BE PERMANENT. No tribesmen will go with you.

>Yes
>No

[Sprin]

Fuck yes leave the tribe!
but make an agreement so our latin friend can live here he did nothing wrong and he needs help.

unless it ends the game then we should stay.
still I want a latin guy running around in our tribe.

[Scelly9]
