Talk:Redspan Revealer/January Edition 2007

Assassinations

To the speakers for RedSpan: is it often you have your own infiltrators attempt assassinations on fellow nobles? Jezralhm 15:03, 19 January 2007 (CET)

Propaganda

Congratulations. Your latest article has made it clear that you are not a newspaper, but a mere propaganda rag. - LilWolf 21:55, 18 January 2007 (CET)

I'm simply reporting the events your realm has announced publicly that our reader might not otherwise notice. --Habap 23:01, 18 January 2007 (CET)

You fail to account for several things, such as that Fade was revealed to be in the underground by the secret police. You make it out like Lavigna made that up herself while offering absolutely no proof of it. You also make the incorrect assumption that it has something to do with Vatticus getting appointed as Marshal. This was an completely separate incident as these people had been in the underground *before* Vatticus was even appointed. Your reference to Darkanism is completely out of place as Darkanism has nothing to do with the whole incident. These combined with your own personal opinions makes the story a mere propaganda piece and not a news story. - LilWolf 23:22, 18 January 2007 (CET)

Have you ever read a RL newspaper? The stories int hem vary alot between each of them. For example, recently there has been rumour that the Royal Navy will scrap some of its ships...these numbers have ranged between 6 and 22 vessels. Every Newspaper saying that this was the "offical" number. But the offical number is that none are actually set, its justa rumour. Newspapers exploit rumours to their best advantage. So we are just doing what journalist do best. ScottSabin 15:53, 19 January 2007 (CET)

Of course you would claim they are not related. Both nobles who opposed the appointment have now been banned. I see a direct correlation. The existence of a state religion and executions conducted by someone titled, Arch Priestess, leads one to believe that Darkanism is involved.

It appears that tyranny and injustice is the normal mode of operations in Darka, so it doesn't surprise me that Darkan rulers would think that identifying them is "propaganda".

Seriously, appointing a loud-mouthed fool who has never fought a battle against an army, nor even fought outside the borders of your realm, to be Marshal has to raise eyebrows. When he has rude and incivil words for everyone except the rulers, to the extent that two nobles objected to his appointment, pointing out his words and actions. How do you get promoted in Darka? Apparently by slavishly annointing the ruling class with praise rather than by showing merit on the battlefield.

A mercenary realm in which loving words rather than swinging swords wins appointment to Marshal? A warrior realm that declares war and does nothing for two months? A Judge more interested in saving face than preserving justice? Darka is a comic opera in progress. I merely expose the comedy for what it is. --Habap 16:06, 19 January 2007 (CET)

Vatticus has never attacked or insulted a noble unless he was challenged first. Furthermore, he is a madman with very little regard for personal safety, which makes him the ideal man for the job he was appointed to. I suggest you don't open your mouth until you know fully what's going on. It makes you look rather stupid. -Pizarro 17:48, 19 January 2007 (CET)

RedSpanians don't really have a leg to stand on if you try to act high and mighty over state religions and tyranny. At least Darka doesn't send infiltrators to stab those who believe in something other than the majority(Min). RedSpan seems to have no problem doing that, or at least AJ doesn't have a problem doing that. We have a duke in Darka who doesn't want to have anyhing to do with Darkanism and that's not a problem for us. We're certainly not going to send an infiltrator after him. I'm sure if RedSpan had a similar situation of someone mocking Da great Goat, AJ would already be on the job(quoting AJ: I care not for individual rights, especially not of those who trample on Da One's Way). Oh what a great and free nation you live in. Such tolerance for others. - LilWolf 17:35, 19 January 2007 (CET)

Again i point you you to RL issues that most realms are based on. After the CofE was founded in England many Catholics and Protestants were killed becasue of thier religion. Becasue they did not belive in the state religion they lost their lifes as it was considered Blashphmy. Do not forget that we are playing in Medieval times, the people were god fearing and still thought the world was flat. So acusing those who do not belive in your religion blasphemous is totally justified. ScottSabin 17:55, 19 January 2007 (CET)
