[warm cliff]

LET'S END THE WALL

[verbal musk]

Wait

Why are we building shield

[open pewter]

after the little inconvience can we build a house

[verbal musk]

And not guns

[warm cliff]

@dark marten @bitter glacier WALLS

[verbal musk]

Where are the promised guns

[fickle linden]

SOUTH WALL SWEEP

[turbid viper]

think about it.. their purpose is to keep order... what do they need for that purpose...

chaos

[verbal musk]

Wait

[turbid viper]

resentment

[warm cliff]

KEEP THE MEXICANS IN THEIR CO-

wait

[turbid viper]

i didnt promise you anything

[warm cliff]

wrong chat sorry

ahem

[turbid viper]

this was the result of the orb consulting

with the provided ideas

[verbal musk]

Couldn’t the wall, being rushed, have weak points or be built terribly?

[atomic pebble]

They played us ...

[verbal musk]

No, the eye promised it to me 3000 years ago

[warm cliff]

KEEP THE INVADERS IN THE FROSTLANDS

https://tenor.com/view/mgsv-mgs5-metal-gear-solid-the-phantom-pain-big-boss-gif-10589101021885947011

[turbid viper]

tell us the investigation results vanguard man

[atomic pebble]

Tell us all!

[bitter glacier]

how detrimental to resource production would it be if I took all remaining Vanguards and stationed them on the wall

[turbid viper]

how will you station them on the wall

i think its just a palisade

no walking room

[steep elm]

cold

[verbal musk]

Can’t we build ladders

[steep elm]

very cold

[bitter glacier]

I mean we figured out how to put 10 people on it

[verbal musk]

Just adapt

[turbid viper]

@steep elm is the wall an actual thick wall

or a palisade

[timid sandal]

All the walls will break next post

[steep elm]

1/2 is just a palisade but worse
2/2 has walking space

[bitter glacier]

wh-

that's like

[turbid viper]

awesome sauce

[bitter glacier]

half of what I've been doing

[turbid viper]

tell us the investigation result

[bitter glacier]

is trying to unite the people

[atomic pebble]

Lookouts?

[turbid viper]

the anticipation is killing us

[warm cliff]

AHEM. CONSIDERING THE INVESTIGATION:

Unfortunately, we have decided to keep the information we gained as top secret as of now. Once we deal with curent crisis, we will give a public statement

[turbid viper]

booo

🍅

tell us

[atomic pebble]

[bitter glacier]

the investigation so far hasn't given us any definitive proof of Catanian violence

[atomic pebble]

They want to control us!

[turbid viper]

the mystery will hinder combat capability

[atomic pebble]

-# But i feel Wohn wants to cause chaos

[warm cliff]

If we just say what we have found so far it will not give any answers to the main question

[steep elm]

[turbid viper]

whos john

[turbid viper]

tell us. . . .,,,,

[atomic pebble]

Jilson mb

[warm cliff]

Thus, the investigation is currently placed on hold

In order to put all of our forces on the more pressing issues

Such as, you know

Defending our city.

[atomic pebble]

With which weapons?

[timid sandal]

Building one more house*

[warm cliff]

Once the crisis is abaited, we will resume the investigation AND explain what we have found so far

[turbid viper]

i tried to find a wise quote on the pursuit of truth being important but alas none was to be found

[bitter glacier]

okay here's my official statement:

The guards I sent to the cave investigated and couldn't find any hard evidence of misdeeds. The investigation is currently on hold but has not concluded. Once the defence is over I will have my people look further into the incident at the cave, but it is currently not the priority of the Vanguards.

happy?

[turbid viper]

what did you find

[warm cliff]

Learn to fucking read

[bitter glacier]

no hard evidence that the Catanians are guilty of violence

[timid sandal]

A pack of ciggies and a left leg

[turbid viper]

nothingburger

[atomic pebble]

Redacted = Tusk Bones 😔

/j

[turbid viper]

'no hard evidence' implies something was there

[turbid viper]

wow, they must've been rich

[bitter glacier]

I promise once we are able to investigate further there will be an update on the situation but that's all I really have at this time

[turbid viper]

if there was nothing, how will you continue the investigation

[bitter glacier]

we found a potential lead that can't be followed up on until after we are free from defending the city

nothing for certain

[turbid viper]

and what is that

[sour stratus]

Oh ?

[bitter glacier]

can I take the 5 off the saw, 2 off coal, myself off institute, and one off stockpile guarding, for the wall

which takes the total amount of wall guards to 19

I'd also like to have the rest of the Vanguards ready to deploy to the wall at a moment's notice

[verbal musk]

-# What if the Conquest guy wasn’t evil, and we lost allat efficiency and materials for nothing 😭

[turbid viper]

very polite to give a 10 week notice

[verbal musk]

Yes, he seems kind

[sour stratus]

Yeah someone nice says my claim

[verbal musk]

Why would he do such evil shenanigans as… killing us?

[atomic pebble]

Technically 4-3 weeks due witheout

[verbal musk]

We didn’t get the full sentence

Cut the man some slack

[turbid viper]

would he give us a delay broadcast if he ran into trouble 🤔

[bitter glacier]

how many shields were made

[turbid viper]

"SORRY
DELAYED BY 2 WEEKS DUE TO TRAFFIC"

[turbid viper]

5

im pretty certain it was the most we could make

[atomic pebble]

My Claim is delayed

[verbal musk]

The waiting would kill me then

There is so many secrets yet to be unveiled

[turbid viper]

he could ragebait us

by saying more than it actually was

that wouldve been strategic

[verbal musk]

But Conquest’s a partypooper, as Nric and his Vanguards are too

[turbid viper]

we took the 10 weeks as face value so it would've worked

[verbal musk]

WHERE is war

[bitter glacier]

what?!

what have I done

[atomic pebble]

I still think he wants to subjulgate us

[verbal musk]

Tell us what you’ve found in that cave for real

I’m not buying that excuse

[turbid viper]

in hindsight we're very gullible

[sour stratus]

You are partypooper

[verbal musk]

I’m not real

I can’t be one

[warm cliff]

Read the chat

It was stated already

[bitter glacier]

I really don't want to be evil I promise

[verbal musk]

I don’t buy that

[warm cliff]

TF you mean "don't buy that"

[verbal musk]

You found something, and you’re hiding it from making the city spiral into more tension and chaos

Which is respectable but

[turbid viper]

the truth shall set ye free

[verbal musk]

Messa want the truth

[bitter glacier]

we're already on the brink of tension boiling over and trust sitting at 0

there's nothing more to spiral from here other than societal collapse

[turbid viper]

yeah!

[atomic pebble]

I mean the conquest guy

[verbal musk]

Exactly

[turbid viper]

how worse can it get!

[verbal musk]

The information being revealed WILL tear the city appart

[bitter glacier]

and we don't need civil war during a regular war

[verbal musk]

Knowing that among them are

Violent people

[verbal musk]

That’s why I’m not buying that

[fossil hinge]

I see no reason it cannot be revealed to leadership figures

[verbal musk]

I feel like you put up a lie

[fossil hinge]

If something happens, people need to be able to react

not just waiting around for some arbitrary schedule

[turbid viper]

this is just like that winterhome event chain

with the generator breaking

[verbal musk]

Welp, at least we just have to

[fossil hinge]

Tell the other factions

[verbal musk]

Wait for Conquest

[fossil hinge]

and decide whether the public should now together

[verbal musk]

Settle everything with him

[steep elm]

https://tenor.com/view/conquest-invincible-gif-15950173611998718110

[turbid viper]

settle(r)

[verbal musk]

And then Nric will tell us more, or if he didn’t lie, investigate more

[turbid viper]

we'll handle it trust

utopia

in habercity

[verbal musk]

I STILL believe in Conquest being the Duke

I have like

[fossil hinge]

we did like

signal him

[verbal musk]

I believe in 5 different theories about the city, and NONE are good

[fossil hinge]

like specifically lured him to the city

so it could be the duke

[verbal musk]

Yes, but Wohn said that

Any radio signal

Can pick our beacon up

[turbid viper]

not just me

[verbal musk]

Or something

[turbid viper]

haber

[fossil hinge]

thats also true

[verbal musk]

And Haber

But still

[fossil hinge]

this is part of why i did not like that plan

[verbal musk]

I believe that

Duke is Conquest

[fossil hinge]

because i was worried that we would alert the duke's enemies

and here we are

[turbid viper]

the duke

is

duke nukem

[fossil hinge]

with something vague on the horizion

[turbid viper]

3d

[fossil hinge]

sick guitar riff

[verbal musk]

Anyways

I reallh think that

[bitter glacier]

@steep elm is it possible to drill the city on attacks within the week that remains

like what to do during an attack

[verbal musk]

Conquest could have still seen us with normal beacon

I think

[steep elm]

they'll get tired

[fossil hinge]

can we make traps of some sort?

[verbal musk]

Wait

Haver

[fossil hinge]

we already have walls right?

[steep elm]

haver

[bitter glacier]

haver

[verbal musk]

What’s the hanging rock on the left btw

[fossil hinge]

haver

[turbid viper]

cliff

[steep elm]

plateau

big

[verbal musk]

Why aren’t we

[steep elm]

steep plateau

[verbal musk]

Building wall there

Or something

[fossil hinge]

is there anything we can collapse and cause an avalanch with?

[verbal musk]

Can’t the Conquests’ soldiers drop down or somethin or am I stupid

[fossil hinge]

intercept them before they get here

[verbal musk]

Ah

[turbid viper]

also how will the negotiations look

[bitter glacier]

good question

[verbal musk]

Question remains then

Can’t they set ropes and

[fossil hinge]

its still high ground

[verbal musk]

Drop down

[steep elm]

they'll break their legs

[fossil hinge]

im worried

[verbal musk]

How high

[verbal musk]

Ropes

Or

[steep elm]

no rope will be long enough for that

[verbal musk]

Wait

Hunter’s hangars have

Blimps

[bitter glacier]

look would y'all just accept the plot armor and go along with your day

[verbal musk]

Climbing axe

Declimbing axe

[turbid viper]

@steep elm how will we try to negotiate

[steep elm]

then you guys can just

[turbid viper]

get shot by us

[steep elm]

shoot them while they get down

[turbid viper]

dead

[verbal musk]

With what guns

[steep elm]

the 6

[verbal musk]

Wohn refuses to make

[verbal musk]

6

Hah

Can’t they shoot back?

[bitter glacier]

guess I won't

[verbal musk]

I mean

Others on top

[turbid viper]

how will they if they're coming down

[verbal musk]

Which don’t climb down

[verbal musk]

Others

I think I’m

Grasping at straws already

[turbid viper]

fair

[steep elm]

you don't attack from the top of a mountain, you defend from the top of a mountain

[verbal musk]

But question remains

That entire zone can be

Used to throw explosives

Or something

A lot of stuff can be done from there

[steep elm]

we are the ones defending, if they attack from the top we just have a huge advantage

[verbal musk]

And messa going to be gone now

[bitter glacier]

once more considering we have no time to do anything other than finishing the wall why are we gonna try to poke holes in the plot armor we've been given

[narrow oar]

:3

[bitter glacier]

so now we wait once more

[atomic pebble]

Last week to prepare

[bitter glacier]

walls will be built and the war will begin

[atomic pebble]

Food reserves are secured for a siege

Rationing stayed :3

[bitter glacier]

the Vanguards will stay true to their oath and die for the city

but we hope it doesn't come to that

best outcome is the negotiations work

[warm cliff]

would you look at that

[atomic pebble]

Wow

They did something

[sour stratus]

Of cpurse they are evil

[warm cliff]

@steep elm get trained

now

[steep elm]

jonathan rejects the suggestion

[bitter glacier]

atp he'd only be able to be half trained

[warm cliff]

Lock in.

And get

TRAINED

[fickle linden]

to decrease discontent let's throw a beeg birthday party for josh the mailman :)

[turbid viper]

what mail

[warm cliff]

You need to know how to defend yourself when the negotiations start

[bitter glacier]

we don't exactly have the resources or time...

[turbid viper]

are we sending haber there?

[fickle linden]

:(

[turbid viper]

thats a bit dangerous

[atomic pebble]

What even is Haber doing right now?

[turbid viper]

maybe via a messenger would be more wise

[atomic pebble]

-# Send Haber again /j

[bitter glacier]

wait actually I'll keep Nric in the back lines but still on defense

[warm cliff]

THIS CITY WILL BE PROTECTED

[bitter glacier]

we will not fall

[warm cliff]

AND TO SHOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PATRIOT

I WILL LEAD THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENCES

[bitter glacier]

the first and basically only line

[narrow oar]

-# yknow, im still like

-# the ghost of paperwork present

[atomic pebble]

Cant wait to see what all that [Redacted] happening in the city was about

[open pewter]

are you confident that these walls will be a big house

[narrow oar]

welp, yall

only thing we can do

hope this is enough.

[bitter glacier]

it will be

[narrow oar]

it has to be

[atomic pebble]

5 rifles and a dream

[turbid viper]

and 5 shields

[sour stratus]

Also i like the harber collums witch imples there can be more of haber

[bitter glacier]

@steep elm with the war around the corner can we have some kind of rally to lift the spirits of everyone in the city

[narrow oar]

-# is the 6th one called dream

[narrow oar]

well he has a son

[sour stratus]

Wait really?

-# I missed that information

[atomic pebble]

Adopted ye

[steep elm]

who's hosting it

[bitter glacier]

vans

[steep elm]

a good amount of people won't attend

because they don't trust you + you kept what you found out there secret

[bitter glacier]

as long as it's not detrimental to morale we'll have the rally

[warm cliff]

"They don't trust us"
"Relationship went further up when people learned what we have done for the last few weeks"

[bitter glacier]

we make up almost 1/4 of the city pop and we have good relations with the frosties too

[steep elm]

you have done a lot of stuff but you hiding information and spying on people make them very careful around you

they know what you do for the city

but

as individuals, they don't trust you

[bitter glacier]

still this

[steep elm]

yeah, it's not detrimental

just, won't have as much of an effect as it would have

[bitter glacier]

we'll do the rally

[dark marten]

[atomic pebble]

Today is the day we die gentlemen

[timid sandal]

This will be… a war for the world

A war of the world

A word of the warld

The wrold wlad

[dark marten]

It’s been an honour.

[warm cliff]

Then let it be our finest moment!

[narrow oar]

welp

nothing left than to

PUT IT ALL ON RED

EITHER WE GO OUT WITH A BANG OR WE SURVIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY

[austere dock]

Or we survive but in a worse manner then before

As unpaid labourers to these people

[fickle linden]

a bit eager for war now aren't we?

remember we picked negotiation

so before our first volley of projectiles let's send a sacrificial settler

ok?

[austere dock]

Bet

Send the one most disliked settler

[sour stratus]

where is that cat

[narrow oar]

the cat who sold the world

[sour stratus]

for real lmao

[fickle linden]

the orb demanded it 😔

[austere dock]

The orb says no

[sour stratus]

or then throw in the orb

also who is more hated then their leader?

[narrow oar]

there is noone else

wohn is the only settler player

[austere dock]

Lol

[sour stratus]

exacly

[austere dock]

-# and we are the secret lesbian faction XD

[sour stratus]

an he is the reason why we have the conquest on our doorstep

[austere dock]

Is it because of the orb?

[bitter glacier]

Wohn? Where are you?

[turbid viper]

im in a hole

[verbal musk]

Jilson we have put explosives in the food your ppl ate, fight with everyone else or we will activate the trigger sequence./j

Jilson we have put a slow acting poison in the settlers food, only we know the antidote; Come fight with us or die a miserable death. /j

[turbid viper]

you're all paranoid

[sour stratus]

Tehres quite literary a conquest coming to us this day

[turbid viper]

nothing ever happens

[sour stratus]

Like i would trust you

[turbid viper]

its ok you dont need to

[sour stratus]

Yeah because your duke is coming to conquest us

[sonic pivot]

we should like arrest wohn preemptively

[turbid viper]

do you have any more genius ideas to cripple the city

[sonic pivot]

i do

[sour stratus]

No no i agree

[turbid viper]

https://tenor.com/view/javier-bardem-anton-got-it-think-about-it-ok-gif-17428218

actually no im not saying anything

do whatever you'd like

[bitter glacier]

intriguing proposal

[sour stratus]

Hey could you arrest him? Maybe we can give him to duke for him to leave us alone

[atomic pebble]

-# Preemptively execute the traitors 🤔 (dont)

[bitter glacier]

I mean, we have the guns, the military and the prison

[sour stratus]

Exacly

[sonic pivot]

exactly right

or put them in penal labour

[atomic pebble]

-# Dam Wohn really failed at politics huh

[fickle linden]

-# the orb wasn't the greatest political play

[turbid viper]

never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake

• napoleon bonaparte

im just not going to say anything

[atomic pebble]

Are you counting on the Duke intervention? Even with the possibility that conquest isnt them?

[turbid viper]

what no lmao

thats unrelated

[sonic pivot]

they are actually advanced frostlanders

[atomic pebble]

We want Haber to make an statement!

[sonic pivot]

what if we preemptively arrest haber

[atomic pebble]

He has been silent since forever

[warm cliff]

@steep elm any words to inspire us to fight better?

[turbid viper]

what has haber done for us

[warm cliff]

He was doing all the negotiations in the past

and all of them were successful

[turbid viper]

wait what negotiations

im genuinely unaware

[warm cliff]

Every time a new community or a big group of people who came to the city Haber went to them to negotiate with them

To understand why they came and making sure they will not just here to plunder

[turbid viper]

wait what are we making the walls out of anyways

if its wood then we might be

in

a pickle

[steep elm]

he held the vote for the strategy just a few weeks ago, what do you mean "forever" smh

[steep elm]

wood and iron

[turbid viper]

what is the ratio

like is it reinforced with iron

and made out of wood

or

[steep elm]

around 50 50

we had a lot of iron stockpiled

so we used it for the more important stuff

[atomic pebble]

-# 🤫 im just getting ppl rilled up

[warm cliff]

I think it's a good ratio

Enough wood for the structure and iron to make sure it sustainable

[narrow oar]

i eated the iron

sorry

[steep elm]

@here

Week 45; 10:00

As the day started, everyone kept on their positions.

9 bows, 5 Spears and 4 Sabres were added to the city's weapons at the last minute, first two courtesy of the Revenants and the last one coming from the Settlers

A Vehicle slowly approached the city from the East; a giant tracked vehicle made out of metal, considerably smaller than a dreadnought... but a much bigger version of the Jewel

a person appears from the side of the vehicle, a small entourage of 5 people following him

They position a device on front of the vehicle, and one of the people in the entourage is thrown into the ground

"The Duke wishes to commence negotiations, I shall represent him for now. Any kind of aggressive behaviour will result in the death of our hostage; Auraj Jxolotl!"

...

after counting heads, it appears that we had 3 Tusks missing for some time.

we must choose who will conduct the first round of negotiations.

I KNEW IT

ITS THAT DAMN DUKE

[bitter glacier]

there's only one option for these violent terrorists

Remember the FP2 Baron?

This is the Duke

[turbid viper]

@steep elm does that vehicle have any weapons

it looks like it does

[steep elm]

perhaps

[verbal musk]

I was after he convinced me he was good

initially

I thought he was evil

And held onto that idea

[turbid viper]

this doesnt mean anything

[narrow oar]

HM I WONDER WHY

[sour stratus]

Its funny how i was right fromm the first mention of duke

[turbid viper]

he wishes to negotiate!

[verbal musk]

But thought that MAYBE, just MAYBE, it was a coincidence

[turbid viper]

also

cant he just

run us over

[verbal musk]

Ah yes, Conquest wants to negotiate

[open pewter]

ok maybeee

[turbid viper]

he said that

not me

[open pewter]

maybe houses were a bit of a un-needed priority...

[verbal musk]

you BROUGHT him here!

[sour stratus]

Coincidance that he the massige was sent from the duke line?

[warm cliff]

I mean

[steep elm]

you guys don't have a choice now

[turbid viper]

i can fix him

[warm cliff]

We can negotiate, sure

[steep elm]

unless you want juraj to die

[warm cliff]

We don't mind that

[sour stratus]

:3

[warm cliff]

Also yeah

[turbid viper]

because we wont win against that lmao

[bitter glacier]

The Vanguards will do all we can to ensure the safety of the hostage

[turbid viper]

i can give leverage from the pre-established relationship...

[warm cliff]

FUCK

[narrow oar]

📸

[dark marten]

Wohn.

[bitter glacier]

you'll just give the city to him!

[dark marten]

I don't think anyone trusts you anymore Wohn.

[warm cliff]

okay, shame on me

[timid sandal]

-# hey so the minute kinda passed could I ples get context

[dark marten]

You ruined relations with all the other factions Wohn.

[bitter glacier]

Pierre doesn't speak for the Vanguards

[turbid viper]

do you want to fight against a landcruiser

[timid sandal]

-# I kinda missed the whole vanguard settler revenant thing

[narrow oar]

-# bestie i am so deep in bed rn

[steep elm]

stuff

[narrow oar]

-# gimme a bit to wake up

[dark marten]

Nah, I'd win.

[warm cliff]

are you throwing me from the vanguards?

[timid sandal]

-# oh my bad

[turbid viper]

we're going to be run over its better to get a good settlement

[bitter glacier]

I didn't say that

but the official stance of the Vanguards is to save everyone not just those within the walls

[verbal musk]

He is literally threatening to kill people of our own, he doesn't seem to want to make a fair deal, but take everything we own, or they ram down our walls with a bigger Jewel

[turbid viper]

well we either die or get a deal

[atomic pebble]

Send the revs i got this

[turbid viper]

its a dichotomy

[turbid viper]

i think he's frostlanderphobic

[turbid viper]

resentful from being attacked

so that will worsen things

[atomic pebble]

I will "solve" things

[narrow oar]

okay so

what are our options

[verbal musk]

We wouldn't have been in this position in the first place if

You know

[open pewter]

The vanguards want to kill our own people!

[verbal musk]

You didn't plan our death

[turbid viper]

slander

[bitter glacier]

who said that

[turbid viper]

i only had the good of civilisation in mind

[steep elm]

revenants are the original frostlanders under Jincent

tusks are new frostlanders from tusk cave

Vanguards are the guards of the city

Settlers are from another city that fell, their old leader, the duke, just got here wanting to negotiate something, possibly the "conquest" that we caught in a radio transmission.

Right now everyone is panicking because we seem very underprepared for this

[turbid viper]

good of habercity

[fickle linden]

no wonder Wohn didn't makee the guns

he wanted us to be conquered

by the duke

[open pewter]

i did

[bitter glacier]

I wonder why we are so under prepared...

[turbid viper]

guns wont do anything against a landship

we'd need anti-tank

rifles

[dark marten]

Negotiate.
Fight.
Surrender. [Wohns choice.]

Negotiate doesn't necessarily stop one of the others from happening.

[bitter glacier]

it's almost like Wohn has a stake in this by not making anything

[timid sandal]

Wait… so there’s no science faction???? 😭

[turbid viper]

i want to negotiate

[timid sandal]

FUCK

[verbal musk]

YOU INVITED THE DUKE

[timid sandal]

I can’t vote 😭

[narrow oar]

Vanguards:
honestly pretty okay idea
Settlers:
On one hand he could have some leverage against the duke, on the other do we trust the guy
Revenants: probably pretty reasonable in negotiation
Tusks: Juraj is theirs but harry would try to fistfight the duke

[turbid viper]

its a shame they werent invented yet

so

there are

[atomic pebble]

Haber is the science guy

[steep elm]

maybe the choice of giving control of the factory to a single political group wasn't the best choice to be made

[turbid viper]

no weapons we can use

[steep elm]

settlers, technically

[dark marten]

Make sure to not be swayed by Settler Propoganda.

[bitter glacier]

we will fix that after the war

[turbid viper]

i'll get a better settlement, trust

[timid sandal]

Welp, I know where my vote is going, the revenants cause blue and blue=science

[turbid viper]

vote for settler, vote for not being ran over

[open pewter]

you see, i'm a fan of dramatizing things

[steep elm]

also, is no one questioning how auraj got kidnapped by them in the first place

[dark marten]

Which doesn't help at the moment.

[turbid viper]

what

[verbal musk]

Duke City will either be peak or a dystopia

[narrow oar]

im saying revenants.

[marble hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-crying-gif-13157328

My poor Auraj

[warm cliff]

Yeah, sending him wasn't the best idea

[dark marten]

I'm thinking Miku, Miku, Ooh-ee-ooh

[steep elm]

Auraj Jxolotl is somehow with the Duke's group

[warm cliff]

though understandable

[steep elm]

and their hostage

[turbid viper]

they have special forces

we're cooked

[atomic pebble]

Just asking do they want to negotiate inside their veihicle?

[fickle linden]

thee settlers obviously kidnapped juraj

[warm cliff]

stop spreading misinformation

[verbal musk]

Wait, so, tomorrow we're getting news of negotations?

[steep elm]

no

[turbid viper]

well they snatched him somehow

[dark marten]

@steep elm Can we have a show of proof that Auraj is alive?

[fickle linden]

and wants habeer city to be nothing morethan a colony

[steep elm]

outside

[atomic pebble]

Booo

[turbid viper]

i didnt do anything

i got confirmation about that

[steep elm]

he walked outside the vehicle with the rest of the settlers

[dark marten]

Cool.

[narrow oar]

holding him by the scruff like a kitten

[steep elm]

I think you need to be alive to walk and be thrown on the ground

[atomic pebble]

Any visible weapons?

[bitter glacier]

I mean they have a tank

[timid sandal]

:3 moment

[fickle linden]

But does that tank have any pew pews?

[turbid viper]

look i know this tank is pretty intimidating but im sure we can have a good ending to this

[atomic pebble]

Ye but can they kill us from afar?

[turbid viper]

if they have a tank then they probably have superior firepower too

if the settlers in the cave had a gun

they probably have too

[dark marten]

I would assume it has weapons.

[verbal musk]

Settlers are obvious choice, since the Duke was contacted by them, the Duke will certainly be willing to listen, and thus, have succesful negotiations

[turbid viper]

you just need to trust me on this

[bitter glacier]

if you Catanians just made weapons for the City we wouldn't be so astronomically screwed

[turbid viper]

brother

this is a tank

rifles cannot pierce that

at rifles havent been invented yet

we'll be ran over and nothing can be done

[open pewter]

might be a smoker thingy

[marble hatch]

I don't think Vanguards or Revenants would fit to negotiations in such a situation

[open pewter]

i hope

[fickle linden]

Haber

[steep elm]

that's me

[turbid viper]

tusks are too emotionally involved due to the hostage

[fickle linden]

Can our walls prevent the tank from coming at us?

[bitter glacier]

I refuse to send Wohn out there

[fickle linden]

I assume not

[turbid viper]

its the logical choice

[bitter glacier]

no it's not

you'll just surrender the city to the duke

[turbid viper]

and what do you expect will happen otherwise

we'll get a good settlement

[bitter glacier]

you cowardly spineless cat

[steep elm]

wow

[turbid viper]

we can get more levarage than you

[bitter glacier]

I'd rather die then live under his servitude

[warm cliff]

You can't.

[fickle linden]

We need to use wohn as a hostage of our own

[turbid viper]

cool, so why are you dooming the rest of us

[verbal musk]

Wohn is best choice. The Duke won't listen anyone but him

[turbid viper]

we can

[narrow oar]

okay im up

[fickle linden]

Use the settlers as leverage

[warm cliff]

"the rest of us"
buddy most of the people here are willing to fight

And I know for sure that three out of four groups will be fighting to make sure we live in OUR city

[bitter glacier]

freedom or death

[turbid viper]

ok

[fickle linden]

This city is a shithole but it’s ours

[narrow oar]

@timid sandal

[steep elm]

by the way, these negotiations will be going

by the hour every post

[timid sandal]

Wha

[narrow oar]

heres your faction explanations

have fun :3

[marble hatch]

I'm sure we could talk this out, they could kill it in any moment
@steep elm where are other 2 Tusks from the expedition?

[steep elm]

nowhere to be seen

[bitter glacier]

they killed two of our people

[fickle linden]

Revenants are a neutral face

[verbal musk]

Maybe they're inside the Jewel

[warm cliff]

There is no prove of that for now

[fickle linden]

Clean slate

[steep elm]

I removed them from the pop since you don't know if they are alive or dead

[fickle linden]

Use them

[turbid viper]

the duke was attacked by frostlanders wasnt he

seems like racist

[warm cliff]

Let's not speculate

[marble hatch]

I see

[turbid viper]

or biased against them

[narrow oar]

wait you did

fuc

[timid sandal]

Woah

[turbid viper]

sending vanguards will not result in anything good due to their outlook of 'all or nothing'

its just delaying death

[bitter glacier]

that's not what we are saying

[atomic pebble]

Revs dont like the Duke because of the found implications of what happened in the frostlands

[fickle linden]

I see

[marble hatch]

All options have flaws

[bitter glacier]

The Vanguards made an oath to protect the city and it's people

we will not simply hand over Haber City to the Duke

we will not threaten the people like that

[turbid viper]

what will you try to achieve then

[dark marten]

We're sending the Revs right now.

What's your excuse for them?

[warm cliff]

I mean

[fickle linden]

We shall stay independent or our conquerors will have to rule over ashes

[warm cliff]

We do not know what he want's in the first place

[narrow oar]

oh wait

[warm cliff]

Maybe he just needs resourses or something done to some people

[turbid viper]

self-proclaimed dislike of him

[narrow oar]

I DIDNT EVEN SEE THE FUCKING TANK

[bitter glacier]

we have yet to see the demands of the Duke, but we wish to free the hostage and keep our city independent

[turbid viper]

yeah

i dont think

that will be achieved without significant concessions

very significant

[steep elm]

it's a bit more far away than that btw, I just didn't have space to put it more away without making everything lag

[dark marten]

The Vanguards are too milatristic.
The Tusks are too involved.
The Revanants have a self-proclaimed dislike.
My brother in Haber. Nobody wants to send the Settlers, so pick from the list.

[warm cliff]

Let's just

[turbid viper]

this isnt a negotiation we have an upper hand in

[steep elm]

my brother in haber

[warm cliff]

listen

what they want

[steep elm]

yeah, right now this is staqrting the negotiations

[narrow oar]

yknow what

[steep elm]

depending on it, we can even change out our delegation

[turbid viper]

not my problem with the vanguards

[steep elm]

later

[narrow oar]

im trusting tarry actually

[dark marten]

Not when you're on your knees before "your" 'Duke', no.

[turbid viper]

you think the fact that he has hostages and missing people wont affect things

[steep elm]

this will mostly just state what either side wants and only after that will the proposals really start (if we make any)

[verbal musk]

HOW BIG IS THAT TANK, I JUST REALISED

[atomic pebble]

There is a simple solution for everything

[narrow oar]

can you stop playing devils advocate for

5 MINUTES

[open pewter]

???

[verbal musk]

Yeah no, negotiations are our ONLY hope

[narrow oar]

hull doesnt count

[turbid viper]

no im trying to save this city

government of national salvation

[warm cliff]

doesn't he?-

[open pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-hand-on-face-gif-16695449124522628999

[narrow oar]

well you are a late starter arent you mr. saviour

[atomic pebble]

Defeatist

[bitter glacier]

I refuse to sit back and let the city get taken by their autocratic Duke

[turbid viper]

we'll be ran over and its over

[fickle linden]

Tanks in my view of history have always been weak to being charged and surrounded by infantry

[turbid viper]

well this isnt a tank

this is

a big ass landship

[atomic pebble]

You will give in into a life of slavery

[verbal musk]

Yeah, good luck defeating the tank that's as big as HALF OUR CITY

[steep elm]

this is not a tank, it's quite larger than it

[narrow oar]

THIS AINT A SCENE ITS A GOD DAMN ARMS RACE-

[fickle linden]

Land ships are an outdated term for tanks

[turbid viper]

its half of our city

[open pewter]

is this just for me

can someone else check

[bitter glacier]

well it wouldn't be a problem if WOHN MADE MORE WEAPONS

[turbid viper]

do you think we can pierce the armour of that

with rifles

with regular rifles

[steep elm]

a fourth maybe

[bitter glacier]

it'd be something

[turbid viper]

the settled part

not the walled one

[fickle linden]

I see an opportunity to steal a landship

[verbal musk]

WHAT would those even do in our case?! We'd get ran over by the huge tank, and all be dead! We could have maybe killed some of them, but we're outnumbered both in numbers and in firepower by a lot!

[turbid viper]

what would that give you

congratulations you dented it

with all of your firepower

[bitter glacier]

weapons doesn't mean rifles

it can be explosive

[verbal musk]

What difference does it make

[verbal musk]

Ah yes, against that big armor

[turbid viper]

would that work in the cold

have they been invented yet

[bitter glacier]

bombs are generally pretty good against tanks

[turbid viper]

because AT rifles havent

[verbal musk]

I'm sure that

[warm cliff]

ffs

[verbal musk]

In THIS cold outside

[steep elm]

yeah, I meant that
it's around a fourth or a third, when you count in the mines, it's slightly longer than what I have drawn bu it's still not that much bigger

[warm cliff]

hand grenades existed since

like

[verbal musk]

That tank's armor would be WAY stronger than a normal tank's

[fickle linden]

Ok I have a strategy to win this

[turbid viper]

its a big ass land vehicle not a car

[dark marten]

"I'm tying to save the city!"
Get out of here.
Seriously.
Supplication will not save the city. It will ENSLAVE it.

[warm cliff]

late renesaince?

[bitter glacier]

I can't believe some of you are perfectly fine with living in servitude to a Duke you don't even know

[atomic pebble]

We will talk directly with the Duke btw?

[warm cliff]

use a little more gunpowder

[verbal musk]

The only thing that tank's sparing is the Settlers and the coal mine, maybe the old Jewel, but in rest, EVERYTHING is getting ran over

[warm cliff]

no

with someone representing him

[turbid viper]

lol, lmao even

[fickle linden]

Infantry charge the ship and forcibly enter it to try and take control

[steep elm]

representative, maybe you can get a conference with him during negotiations

but you don't have the upper hand here

[bitter glacier]

and take him hostage

[narrow oar]

-# fuck kind of titan piece of shit-

[bitter glacier]

tat for tat

[steep elm]

so it'd be difficult to even get them to agree to that

[bitter glacier]

you gotta remember the Tusks adhere to an eye for an eye policy, they aren't the best for negotiations

[turbid viper]

take him hostage.. inside of his own vehicle

[bitter glacier]

especially considering there's a hostage, potentially three, on the line

[turbid viper]

where the conference would be highly guarded

most likely

[verbal musk]

Haber, can we bring gifts

[turbid viper]

what

[verbal musk]

To convince the Duke to be kinder

[turbid viper]

why would you do that

[bitter glacier]

ok

wow

[steep elm]

I mean

[verbal musk]

Think about it

[steep elm]

sure

[narrow oar]

why

[verbal musk]

Kings in the past LOVED gifts

[narrow oar]

the fuck

[bitter glacier]

the Catanians need to go

[turbid viper]

i mean that works but why

[narrow oar]

would we DO THAT

[bitter glacier]

defeatist party

[narrow oar]

centrists

[verbal musk]

They'd feel generous, and maybe be more lenient on us

[turbid viper]

you want to remove your only levarage?

okay

[fickle linden]

Are you saying to surrender and make Haber city a tributary vassal under the duke?

[warm cliff]

fatalists ngl

[marble hatch]

So sweet from you

[steep elm]

maybe if it were like, 900 years ago, you'd be a good negotiator

[verbal musk]

No, gifts as in

Gifts

[bitter glacier]

Doomsayers even

[warm cliff]

yeah

[verbal musk]

I'm sure the Duke is no different

[narrow oar]

F

[warm cliff]

U

[bitter glacier]

revs and vans

[narrow oar]

C

[warm cliff]

Getting a beautiful

uhhhh

[warm cliff]

O

[verbal musk]

something

[narrow oar]

O

[warm cliff]

O

[narrow oar]

[verbal musk]

would certainly change the Duke's mind

[warm cliff]

O

[bitter glacier]

O

[turbid viper]

winston pal

you are

harming the

image

of negotiating

[narrow oar]

"Fuck YOOOOOO

[fickle linden]

You’re right, give him the settlers head.

[warm cliff]

U

[verbal musk]

You harmed the city the moment you lured him here

[turbid viper]

whataboutism

[bitter glacier]

take Wohn hostage

[turbid viper]

proposing gifts is making people less convinced

[bitter glacier]

that'll set the stage eveb

[fickle linden]

Clara

Why

[narrow oar]

musa

[turbid viper]

do you think he cares lmao

[bitter glacier]

C

[turbid viper]

we're just some footsoldiers

some

small

detachment

[warm cliff]

A

[turbid viper]

insignificant

[verbal musk]

I think that

We're approaching the end of Haber city

[bitter glacier]

a member of their force nonetheless

[verbal musk]

This MIGHT be the end

[bitter glacier]

traitors to Haber City

[steep elm]

the one person the settlers had with them that was important, the Duke's apprentice, already died before the settlers got here with the Jewel

[fickle linden]

There’s like what? 10 of them and 30 of us

We got this

[bitter glacier]

all who want to surrender are traitors

[narrow oar]

stop with the doomsaying you lemon its not over til its over.

[marble hatch]

I trust Duke a bit more then to Wohn at this point smh

[verbal musk]

What if we revive him

Necromancy

[warm cliff]

WAIT

WHAT IF

THEY JUST

WANT THE JEWEL BACK

[turbid viper]

why would they do that

[bitter glacier]

perhaps...
