I REFERENCE WWII IN THIS AND WANTED TO SAY THAT I AM *NOT* SAYING THESE PPL ARE THESE NAMES IN HISTORY I AM SIMPLY USING THESE HISTORICAL REFERENCES TO WELL. REFER.
im an overthinking nerd what else was I supposed to do-
To me Saps is almost like a certain Austrian painter. He fueled the fire of hated and turned it to the new players.
Imo, I think that it would've taken a bit longer for the situation to get this bad if it was just left alone, like, the main issues were food and bandits. It wasn't a glaring thing to look at the new players and go "ITS THEMMM" (Like the persecution of
I wanna bring this back to my talk about relating the whole arc to the 10 stages of Genocide, and I realllly see that Saps is just such a binding factor.
Without him, I strongly believe Cindercrest could fall in a day.
If there are more people like Lomedy, who might be willing to listen, who might be willing to find another way, taking away that factor (Saparata) who keeps THAT side going? You kick out a support beam and the whole thing can crumble
Not all of Cindercrest has a true hatred for the new players. We see that. It's hard, but its still not fully there. Saps made the foundation for people to stand on that the new players need to be massacred. He made the party that sees that as the only solution, and everyone who aligns slightly gets drawn in. You may think that killing all of these new people is wrong, yet you see that this is the only way to fix the mass issue of the server
I just find Saps a reaaalllllyy interesting character because in a lot of ways his character reflects what happened with the aforementioned Austrian painter. Using speeches and talks to command with charisma, making a certain group a scapegoat to fufill all his goals (i have an hc that he doesnt JUST want the new players gone), commanding with that precision that is scarily thought out, but also that slight overconfidence that isn't too much for someone too call out but gives him JUST an edge.
He also isn't bad at being a general lmao like. He told Flame "we need to get the entire army over there, not just you" showing that he thinks a lot more than just his power cards. They have FORMATIONS ffs and he has their RESPECT.
Linking back to multiple points, Saps isn't just the leader because he strong arms it. He GENUINELY has respect from a lot of Cindercrest., and outside of it. He's notorious, he's just the definition of a battle-experienced general to me lmao. I could talk abt this man forEVER
i really really like him as the general of Cindercrest man i reallly do
