[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 877414, member: 1492"] Hi Edena, and you IR-community guys, cheers to you :). How are you doing? __________ I'm not sure that would be plausible. I was quite powerful even with the original PL-rating of the nations of Faerun, and after all that has happened in the IR so far I would have a far greater PL than that. My population is probably the most educated, loyal and productive in the world, it is also by far the largest, especially considering all the tens (or hundreds) of millions of Chinese I was bringing in. No faction has been as thoroughly indoctrinated and educated with the Magic Books as mine, all the technologies of Earth and all but the most secret magics of Toril is at the disposal of virtually our entire population (and I could aid Timothy, and anyone else who would ally with us, in reaching a similar level). The mind control drug would make sure that the Meritocracy remained stabile even while the weave was destroyed and since such a large part of my population is from Earth (and resistant to earth diseases) our society would not be as hard hit as the other players from the plagues. Many societies would be terribly disrupted by the diseases as panic breaks out when magic can no longer provide comfort and control over the populations, that would be a non-issue for the Meritocracy. We would have some difficulties with communications and transportations between my far-flung territories and I might well lose some minor peripheral areas but that is a problem all players would face to some degree, our rule is sufficiently decentralized to adapt rather easily to those new circumstances. On Earth, I think the Dauntless with friends have better chances. They pretty much controlled Europe and North America, by far the most powerful continents of Earth at that time. Mina was very strong in the third world but faces nearly insurmountable problems in maintaining control and modernizing those primitive countries within the given time-frame. Timothy and me were strong in East Asia and the mind control drugs would give me an important edge in modernizing China and expanding abroad, but even with a cooperative population such things take time we might not have. The western powers have good chances of retaking their lost colonies and reestablishing their dominance on Earth, the value of their educated populations and their financial, industrial and military infrastructure has been vastly underestimated in the IR so far. Of course, that's just my analysis of the situation. I believe it's logical but I might be mistaken. ___________ [/QUOTE]
