"In general" "people" "seem" "I don't think" are all fiercely subjective statements, which is the precise reason why I asked you to clarify what you meant by "People". As far as I am aware, those Authors who have striven for power in their respective states have not only taken (ICly and OOCly) time to do so, but also written informative and creative posts detailing how they are going about gaining that power. That is why I am loathe to hand Yaroshima control of the Confederacy, primarily.
It is not axiomatic in this RP that your Author will gain political power. Nor that any rise to power will be unopposed- of course, really. Remember, we are RPing people from the future, ourselves. People who, in the absence of being sent to the past, probably will never be anywhere near the seat of a government. Simply waiting does not entail strength. You have to tell us how you are struggling for that position, instead of adopting it merely by fiat.
IF I was a cruel OP, I would let you have your way. Yaroshima would try to seize power, without any particular direction or strategy, and his tribe would likely be crushed by her rivals within the confederation as his naked ambition became obvious for the other tribal entities to see. Without a plan, that is the likely outcome.
I am giving you an opportunity to RP a different outcome. It would be best if you take it.
@ Yatz: The entire population of Yamatzon that live in Yekrenia's capitol are unfailingly loyal, to the extent that they support their religion over their government?
*shrug* At this point I can calculate the difference in odds, but there's not much point in divulging them- if you keep modifying the plan, OOCly, until you seem like you will OOCly succeed, that's not really reflective of a strategy your Author would adopt, no?
A massive crowd of soldiers that likely cuts down the local law enforcement officers in the streets outside his house, of course. And any soldiers on patrol. Or his son in military garb who tries to halt their assault while home on leave from the frontlines with the Politburo. Probably the entire population won't take to the streets, but it is very doubtful that the people who live in the capitol of a nation will simply acquiesce to that nation being forcibly dissolved- assassination or outright assault.The Holy Dominion of Inesea wrote:Magc is iffy because you then have to define what sort of magic you're using.
This is no small part of my concern.
As I see it, magic is likely to be a relatively uninventive crutch that adds little to our stories save an "easy out". Instead of having to RP recruiting tribe members, an Author simply compels a tribal chieftain to join with their cause. Instead of developing defensive structures to hold back an encroaching horde, the Author simply summons a wall of mystical force to repel the attackers. Instead of convincing locals to fight alongside them despite casualties and the maiming of family and friends through logic and a cause worth dying for, the Author simply heals any injuries their allies suffer.
Magic doesn't necessarily add anything to the plot, and more likely detracts from it, in my mind.
That said, I will put up a poll, just for you Rev.
Now,i understand that.But,woudn't have something changed in the 15 Years?
At least,Yaroshima would've won an considerable amount of power within the Confederacy.
