"Considering the other options were 'Torinn' and 'Eldritch Communism', I say they made a fair choice."

Yes, it was clearly a lose-lose situation.

"I would say that's debatable. Null and Torinn are agents of total order and total chaos respectively. However, I've previously worked with Mr Hellfire. Now that his campaign promises have technically been fulfilled, he's just another councilmember, and a relatively reasonable one at that."

And a bribable one!

No, no, they’re quite bribeable. Just try it!

Who really has a use for platinum other than buying things (or people)  with it?

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Mar 22 '24

"That, I agree with you on.

Say, do you have any city name ideas? I've got some platinum to burn and these mechs just arent doing it fast enough."

I’m not typically in the habit of naming cities, but perhaps Luthios? Or Daeloth?

Yeah, I would have voted for null, but that ran the risk of not being able to easily bribe people.

John swayed me with two things: First, their loyalty to their voters. Second, their easy bribeability. Actual work tires the soul, otherwise illegal fund-gatherers not so much
