Re: Reverse Nap
Well, some people play strategy games in a heavily diplomatic fashion.
Of course, actual diplomacy is really really really unthematic - except in the case of complete submission.
"I own you *****!"
"Yes, yes, you do! Please don't kill me! Let me serve you as the one true god!"
".... Fine, I will spare your miserable life, but you will do as I tell you, my pet."
"Anything! Just don't feast on my sweet delicious brains....."
Considering how people like to gangbang the leaders, I think it would be interesting to see more people thematically devote their pretender and nation to servitude rather than to perish in flames. Would they sometimes betray their benefactor? Yes, sometimes, but there would a be a dynamic there..... And I think it would work best with a bit of RP flavor added. You know, if your pretender was a Virtue, and MA Ermor's PoD was kicking your *** - and you begged for mercy..... Well, it's against your nature. So when Arcoscephale shows up with their Oracle and offers you a better place in their own ascension, well who wouldn't betray the PoD?
Of course, good and evil are so mutable, who's to say what is realistically thematic, other than never ending war?
