Then Moore would just gas the dining hall and kill all the students, which no one wants.

I don't care if they are or not. I'm just thinking of a way to keep the students in the RP if they rebel. They could be punished severely, then given magic/mechanic countermeasures if they try to misbehave again. Like a bio bomb in the brain or something. I honestly think a Suicide Squad thing would be a cool thing to have.

We haven't had any suicide missions either because concealing the League's activities is a pretty major thing, that's why the staff were so angry when the students uncloaked on one of the missions earlier.
Maybe they are kept around because the school doesn't want to waste talent? Super villains are hard to come by? Or maybe they're kept as test subjects for experiments and sparring practice? I'm just trying to think of ways so Coraspia can have his war.

Because I'm not losing her entire personality. This also doesn't help Loki stay alive.

The problem is that if there's as many students as there are and only a small number rebel, there's not really a reason why the school would think they're worth keeping around.
IDK I could break the canon, one of the more important things in the canon, and have a non lethal punishment that doesn't involve expulsion, but the players probably wouldn't want to keep playing their characters if they got all the worst tasks. It would quite literally become a living hell.

So we either need to split the student body about fifty fifty, or else all rebels will die.
I guess my problem is that the best Civil War arcs are based off ideological differences that neither are right about. Like how Marvel's Civil War was about personal freedoms vs listening to the elected authorities. But this one seems less devisive. The students have gotten attached to Moore or his wishes, and don't know what he stands for. So there's little reason to join them aside from those who knew him before, or those who want to join the "winning" side.
Maybe if at the dinner Question and Moore got into a debate on something that mattered to the students, such as how much over sight should they have or something, we'd care more about choosing a side. But for now, even those who don't like Question or how his security has been kinda lax wouldn't join Moore cause the risks are too great to the possible rewards.

I dont even say 50/50. People who join the rebels need to either die or loophole out, which can be done.

Coraspia, you can either go along with the rebellion and have Kadus/Loki join and either die or get expelled, or go along with it and have them not join. If you don't go with one of these options, I'm sending the best trained fighters that Question has, to kill Moore and then gathering everyone to leave the base. If students rebelling was supposed to be a part of the plot, you should have specifically pitched it that way when you told me about it. The decision is final, I said there could be a compromise and you said that you wouldn't do it.

I'm not doing any of those things. Either find a way to leave them in the school when they rebel, retcon, or I'll have Moore go insane and blow the base and kill everyone.
