No, no, no...you're being far too rational. We're all approximately playing the game, but we're not necessarily doing it as purely rational game-theoretic entities. I (at least) am making decisions based often on story purposes. If I were playing "rationally", the Vans would probably be visiting poor PashaDawg on my south border.

So people may settle for a lot less than what they've already taken! I mean, a carefully-crafted press release, an (insincere) apology (if it's in character), and a few gems given away, who knows what might happen?


And I meant to say something about the characters in battle, too. It's very cool to suddenly see the names you've been reading in the tales show up live and in person (in pixels?).

Well, I don't know about you, but my characters are very rational.

You really entered the war for thematic reasons? It seems the story with the ship could have just as easily applied to T'ien Ch'i...

Oh, and were those indie light infantry bought for thematic reasons? Because the Pythium commanders were laughing their heads off that those guys finally found a sucker to pay their outrageous prices.
