Yeet I’m alive.

Hi! Nice to see you're alive. XD

Yup. So, what were we doing last?

I don't think much was happening last time except that Ivy, Steve and Pythia were talking in the hospital room. There was some kind of interaction happening in the prison, but I think we need King here for that.

I'd like to go ahead with Sargon's trial as soon as we can, once everyone's ready.

So would I. Yeah, we do need king for that.

We'll aim to start the trial as soon as King's around, then. Sargon needs to die already. XD

Any ideas for what we could do to kill the time until that happens?

Hmm. Nope. XD

Darn. XD
Well, if we can't think of anything to do here, maybe we could just continue our random RP for now, and wait to see if King makes it? If he does, then we can continue here. If he can't, I'll just leave this room up and we can continue another time.

Ok. Sounds like a plan. I'll put a reply there in a bit, gotta eat.

Alrighty. :)

I'll probably be slow from here on out; I have to switch back from the computer to my DS soon.

(Ok)

(Hmmm, I wonder what the dynamic between Dianne and Ana would have been like if they were both working for Sargon. Given how strong she is, she'd probably be a higher ranking officer, but, I wonder how that would work?)

(Hmm, well, they definitely still wouldn't get along. XD Dianne would probably hate Ana because of the way she's constantly fawning over Sargon.
Ana probably wouldn't be Sargon's most valued follower if Dianne was there, since Dianne is way stronger than Ana. Ana would end up being a lowly minion who just happens to be madly in love with him, and no-one would take her seriously. XD)

(Lol, so, what would have happened if Dianne joined after Ana had been established as “Count’s most favored”? Would she have been replaced?)

(*Eventually?)

(I think in that case, Sargon would trust Ana more (because he knows that she'll always obey him), but he would still acknowledge Dianne as the more powerful one. So maybe they'd both hold positions of the same level. I don't know really.)

{Well, the purpose of these inquiries is to determine what Sargon values more: Power, or loyalty? It’s convenient when someone is both, but between the two, which is favored?)

(I'd say he values loyalty more, because if someone is completely loyal to him, then he knows they won't betray him. Sargon himself isn't that powerful, which means allies who are more powerful than him could be a potential danger to him. He'd prefer his followers to be weaker but more trustworthy.)

(I see. Hmm, so, he fears being betrayed, and therefore will value loyalty above power. Given that a lot of his army in this scenario were recruited on the fly, this makes a lot of sense. After all, given his mission, he does have a lot of enemies.)

(That's pretty much it. He kinda has to worry about people betraying him, considering the way he recruited people into his army. A decent number of his minions joined him voluntarily, like Ana, and he always trusts those people the most.)

(Yeeeeaaaahhhh, I can see now why he was so shocked about Fred and Wendigo being double agents. XD
Rip in pepperoni XD)

(XD)

(By the way, if there's an RP this week, it'll be held in this room instead of a new one.)

(Ok)

(No Shacklestone today because I'm experiencing a weird glitch where I can't load the Colors site from my DS internet browser properly, so I wouldn't be able to RP unless I was on the computer the whole time, or everyone else was on their DS's.
Also, I don't want to progress without KIng and I haven't been able to get in contact with him.)

(Alrighty, no worries!)
