Okay, will of the ship in general is obvious and stupid: peace and love, even with the Ohm.

Anyone who actually cares about beating the Ohm and getting their world back, drop me a line. We're gonna have to figure out how to do it by ourselves.

Never had you pegged as a sore loser bossman.

MOTOT:

Hey! I'm pissed because this makes actually getting anything done a LOT harder! They voted in the damn 'peace with the Ohm' chick. How the hell are we gonna get anything done when we've got the Council telling us 'don't freakin' fight them, they're just misunderstood'?

[ruffntumblenut.livejournal.com]

Seems easy enough, they misunderstand at us, we misunderstand back, right upside their face.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

The way I see it, they already misunderstood at ME when they 'misunderstood' that I wouldn't take getting me sealed in a damn book lying down.

I can say that I support trying to open lines of communication with the Ohm, but the way to do that is between battles. We have to fight them if they attack us or anything we can defend.

From this point of view, I can say this - you won't be helping anyone.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

So we make friends with them except when they're doing something bad? They destroyed your world and you're just fine with that? Don't want it back?

Back off, lady, this isn't for you so leave us the hell alone and don't bother thanking me when you're back home.

I don't think there's much we can do to communicate right now. It would be almost impossible to reach out without making ourselves vulnerable, so I don't want to try communicating at all until we've learned more about them.

Learning how to speak with them has more benefits than just peace though - how do their soldiers coordinate? How do they receive commands? We learn that now, fight them with it, and if we see a way to talk to them without opening ourselves up, we use it somewhere down the road.

MOTOT:

...that wasn't the platform people got elected on, you know.

I only wish to learn more about the Ohm, wherever finding the answers may lead us. But I believe those answers will lead us to a place where we do not have to resort to simply killing them all in turn. I am not unprepared nor unwilling to fight and protect this ship and its inhabitants until we are able to do that.

So please do not be discouraged, because our aims are not as different as you might think. My biggest hope is to restore those places that mean the most to us, and I believe it is possible to do so if we work together.

MOTOT:

Killing them all is probably the only way to get enough mana power to write the wish for everything to get back to normal. That's how good endings work.

[dhianeila.livejournal.com]

Mana power? Writing a wish?

I'm afraid those are terms I don't quite understand, is that a method of action your homeworld takes for such goals?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Gyyaaaaaagh.

Look, really freakin' long story short, you need mana power to write a wish in the Sacred Tome. Get enough mana power, you can wish for everything to be restored. The only Overlord strong enough to write that wish can't do it right now. So someone else needs to get the mana power.

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

I heard one person say that, and she got elected. Big deal. There's more than one council member on that stupid thing, right?

I don't see that Kang guy being all about "peace and love."

Besides, being on the council wouldn't suit you.

We are going to feel rather foolish if we exterminate the Ohm and then discover that they carried the method of restoring all worlds only within their living minds - and with them dead, we can't do it.

In this situation, we need more knowledge in order to act.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Uh, I already have the method. Get enough mana power, then wish it all back.

[8wings.livejournal.com]

This 'wish it all back' method has been used before with complete success, I trust.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Look, are you gonna question gravity next? 'Cuz the Sacred Tome's about as fundamental as that. Maybe more so.

[uebercharge.livejournal.com]

Wunderbar. Why don't we all just hold hands and sing happy songs next?

...if it really comes to that, I swear that I will find a way to vivisect this ship.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Uh, I can survive in the space between worlds, but I'm not sure about anybody else.

[uebercharge.livejournal.com]

Does it matter?

[hexyeah]

Yes, because the Council has no idea how to wage war.

Yes, that was sarcasm.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Uh, given who just got put on it...

No?

Also, duh?

[hexyeah]

Two council members have a military background. And I am an Avenger. Are you willfully ignorant or simply lazy?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

MOTOT:

Aaaand name-calling. Your Council member, folks.

I think we're done here.

[flunkingspanish.livejournal.com]

dude, you wrote down your laughter and admitted to being an evil demon. that never inspires confidence in the voting population. just saying.
