As forewarning, then: don't step on the grass.

There are some political scandals one does not recover from. Not in time to hold off the next 'politician', anyway.

[~Neri]

Going to sleep.

Since I have nothing better to do while sitting in this car, here's a bit of advice for everyone:

"Speak softly and carry a big stick." -African proverb, later popularized by Theodore Roosevelt.

Everyone of us has a big stick of one kind or another. Thus we must focus on subtler means to achieve our goals. Swinging one's stick around gets one's head bashed in by another. Actions that seem like they're at nobody else's expense are the key to success in this game. Still, you must be unafraid to (threaten to) use your power when someone (tries to) step on your toes.

Well this should be fun. Haven't completely gotten into the swing of the character's personality yet since it's a bit of a change from Grauel but I think it'll shape up nicely enough.

Create ten crowns of gold and gems, crowns that would grant their wearer perfect memory and greatly increased intellect at the cost of all of their emotions. These crowns would also grant protection from influencing mind by magic or hypnosis and some defense against divine smiting. Once the crown is put on, the person would feel desire to keep it on and would do so baring extreme circumstances or sleep. Grant these crowns to leaders of dwarvenkind.

Clarification needed. All dwarves?

Ten crowns for ten dwarven leaders. I figure the crowns would make them work as a hyper eficienr administrative AI. Emotional responses of populace would be part of statistics yet the kings would be surounded by loyal yet restraining advisors to stop crown bearers from minmaxing at the cost of people. Not that the kings woild be harsh, since, you know rebelions are not something a good kingdom has.

[Demonic Spoon]

He's trying to find out if his personal clan of dwarves might get a crown DreamerGhost.

[DreamerGhost]

Oh. Despite being mostly halflings, yes, or at least they should.

[micelus]

You will be duly rewarded for your contributions to the dwarven master race.

[~Neri]

I feel like these crowns are only going to result in Dwarven Hitlers.

No emotions is a Really bad trait.

Eh, I'm sure there will be an element of random that may or may not cause interesting stuff to happen.
That or we could just inspire the dwarves to overthrow their emotionally detached overlords.

[IcyTea31]

Don't worry, if we get any would-be-Hitlers, we'll just kill the leaders and...uh. Any ideas that don't lead to rapid and disproportionate retribution?

Hitler was quite emotional, especialy towards jews. Yes, the emotion was hate, but still. They would be more like dwarven Stalins, but with less coruption and paranoia.

Eh, I want to see how much the GM will make it f*** up.
This is a recipe for DISASTER.

Starts preparing popcorn.

Stalin was arguably worse if you compare death tolls.

Eh, Hitler wanted extermination of many more people, so let's put Hitler as permanently worse than Stalin.
Though considering where Hitler is at, that doesn't say much.
Basically they're both criminals towards humanity.
