I am quite sure I read in one post that we sail in three days...Of course not, far from it. It is simply that most people both human and not don't react so forcefuly on some perceived insult. Especialy not in negotiations. And in that action they state exactly opposite of what they say since they copied exactly my behaviour. Why would you think that we won't do our own testing as opportunity arises? I'd want to know how far can I go before discussing things, unforunately we didn't have time to prepare so testing had to happen during the talks. It seems I pushed too hard and I am willing to apologize for it. I made a mistake, it happens.This is the thinking that CAUSES the rebellions. I personaly would accept the taxes and return the loans within my lifetime and would be content to know that my children would be free of it's burden. I believe most or all of us would. But limitations imposed as safety measures increase the pressure dramaticaly and so called counter moves cause resentment that lead to rebellion. It is natural that men strive for more and those already powerful covet more power. Unfortunately, it seems that those same men think they'll be more powerful if their subjects are weak.I chose education as means of bettering the society and helping colony. Not as means of sawing discontent. It would lead to violence and my life is focused on avoiding or minimizing it whenever possible. I didn't become known as warlord, but as historian and diplomat. And I believe you know all this. So, either you are now goading me or your master has wrongly analyzed facts. As I assume you information is thorough, I choose not to defend myself from such accusations.I ask you, no, I beseech you to try and smooth things out.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1675317/" target="_blank">Diplomacy roll with Lord Archer (1d20+28=32)</a> OOC: this definitely isn't my day <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> At least it isn't natural one...</blockquote>
