      Until casting is finalized, and the project moves from “PRE-production” into “production,” then unfortunately it’s not canon. But we can still aim for it, and calculate the trajectories.

      I didn’t think of it that way. You kind of blew my mind a little.

      But to be more to the point: T and I write this together, so there are sometimes things that we don’t agree on that live in our own separate headcanons.

          Michael Weston the character or Michael Weston the actor? One works for me, the other doesn’t.

          I loved that they got him to guest star in a Burn Notice episode.

    I’m guessing she’s going to ask them to pick a leader through consensus.

    I wonder if that’s her real world persona bleeding into a fantasy world run mostly by nobility or through martial merit.

        She did from Adriac himself… Delegation Delegation Delegation…

        Also here a quote form the Absolute Monarch Louse IX ” and this is a guy who loved controlling everything (his government was the standard of Absolutism in Monarchies) admitting he could in any way rule without delegating tasks to others.

        I’ve slept in chainmail before.
        Granted I was very drunk at the time (also a bit stoned), and taking it off was too much effort.
        My German stainless steel chainmail weighs quite a lot.

    Academocracy:

    This exam has three parts. Part One is general knowledge, of the sort that any functional adult ought to have.

    The second contains questions in multiple subjects. Choose any three relevant to your own field of expertise, to demonstrate your value as a contributing member of society.

    The third part is specific to the current proposition and will determine to what extent you understand it.

    Your vote will be weighted based on your score.

    When the examiner says “begin”, turn to the next page. You will have 15 minutes.

    Performance enhancing fertilizers are not permitted.

    It’s a system called Alternative Vote. You vote for the leader you want and a second choice, if your first choice gets the least overall votes your second choice goes forward.

    Everyone voted for someone different but all put Bandit as their second choice for a laugh.

      I prefer poodle ballista. There’s something satisfying about the sudden click-thwong and the rapidly receding ky-yi-ky-yi-ky-yi-ky-yi…, followed by a nice meaty sound that echos across the valley.

      Save the trebuchets for the mimes.

    “Tyrant”? “Government”? I think Syr’Nj is a little confused. They aren’t a country, they’re a military unit. Military units don’t typically get to choose who their commander is…

      Pish posh. When you’re tired enough, any kind of sleep is comfortable. And I don’t see why chainmail would be uncomfortable. I’m pretty sure that’s just something DMs made up because they didn’t want adventurers to always wear armour when sleeping.
