  1. I am once again declaring that House Stark and the Kingdom of the North support the new Prime of OWR, Luis. All dissenters thus have have been hung on the walls by their pinky toes until they declare support for Luis. 


    07 Luis

    07 OWR

    My interactions with you, and what I’ve observed, has leaned more towards that characters diplomacy skills.  Daenerys is more black and white, whereas Snow is much more flexible and tactful.

    Yeah the Starks have some pretty good traits ;)

    Anyway, here's to hoping that the Quack and non Quack narratives finally come to resemble each other in the future.

    The likelihood of this happening in any given large conflict, Quack v. NPC or not, is incredibly small due to both sides of a conflict trying to show that their narrative is the absolutely correct or most correct narrative when placed in comparison against their opposition, both from an offensive and defensive position, through evidence and general spin.

    Right, you trust Tyrion because you like his style of questions and thus you take his statements at face value without applying the same standard of scrutiny to them as you do with literally anyone else's statements. The fact that you disagree with and therefore scrutinize the statements Tyrion makes which you don't like is just further evidence of your intense and knowing bias.

    This is all evidence which you have helpfully provided your own dang self.

    Partisan actually has not merely "shown interest in" but in fact HAS done his due diligence and research on the subject, and in an intellectually honest and responsible manner to boot. Why you persist in believing such heinously inaccurate things about him is beyond me, really, since there's ample evidence to show that he has indeed looked very deeply into the matter. And since you'll ask, despite it being blatantly obvious, the evidence is that he's still a leader of a major bloc which has not fired him, expelled his alliance, nor disbanded. Which is what any halfway competent leader would do in the face of such an extraordinary failure on the part of another leader. Since they haven't, he must therefore have not failed so completely as you insist he has.

    What you're neglecting, despite being told countless times and being shown a mountain of evidence in support of, is that unlike yourself, Partisan is an alliance leader. Which means that he both needs to be and in fact is responsible in his FA efforts, which includes both diligently and thoroughly investigating threats against the alliance as well as keeping the results of his efforts confidential. Confidential, by the way, mostly means keeping the evidence, sources of evidence, reasoning, and conclusions secret from irrelevant parties that scream victory from the rooftops and dump logs every time someone tells them something privately.

    If Partisan had indeed just taken the Boyce rumors at face value and flatly declared war without following up nor considering what such a major action would entail, the entire bloc would have fired him. From a cannon. We didn't, since he DID do his research, he DID follow up, and brought the investigation to his peers for appraisal and deliberation. They deliberated, determined it was actionable, and took the appropriate actions. I can tell you this for certain because I AM privy to a fair chunk of that investigation. Yep, I said it: That info is there, I've got it up on my screen now, but I'm not going to give it to you nor will anyone else because it was given to us with the expectation of remaining confidential.

    So, by all means feel free to continue faffing about, screaming for evidence and things to proudly leak for your own amusement. We'll be over here, actually trying to be intellectually honest and trustworthy, and actually getting that evidence. Do consider joining us when you grow up.

    This is all correct. If I make a mistake from an FA standpoint and House Stark suffers needlessly for it, Zygon would undoubtedly be awaiting my resignation. In this case, we did not suffer needlessly, and once our membership was made aware of why we were at war, they understood that it was for a good cause and here I am, still at service to HS.
