Top five Crusader Kings moments?

my top one is absolutely finding out that my son had been on a murder spree, getting murdered by him, then having his ascension message be "a wise and learned man, progress and innovation are expected under his rule" 

I expanded the lease of a Holy Order and then a couple of months later they joined a war against me, which feels...ungrateful. 

In CKII I became a Crazy Cat Lord, which was pretty fun and gives health benefits! 

This isn't exactly a moment, but CKIII has generated House mottos, and some of them are hilarious, like "The Spirit of the Eagle Grants Us Labor" and "Fear, Boldness, and Safety" 

I do also love the nudists in CKIII

You have such an excellent party!

It’s a public group (local bookstore) with people constantly dropping in and out, but we had a good crew last night! Five players, with two regulars in addition to myself and two new people.

One of the new guys taught my wizard some orcish swears while they were drunk and woozy from resurrection sickness + celebration. He seems chill.

Top five Sith?

the problem is, right, that honestly, the Sith  i've spent the most time with are everyone you're involved with in the Sith Inquisitor storyline in TOR and they're all such incompetent jackasses that I don't have much affection for any of them

There's no 'would fight on a beach at dawn' colour, and this upsets me.

The obvious answer, for both you can the car, is to embrace and build up on the prow-heaviness. Attach a bronze ram, destroy your foes.

i don't think i have the pecs to attach a ram to *me*

⚔️ Do you even need to ask? Duelling your friends is the best kind of duelling!

your reach is so long, though! can i have a spear to your sword?

Top 5 'death or glory' moments from fiction?

you'd think i'd have a good answer for this 

i don't, besides the ride of the Rohirrim. historically, I love "La Garde meurt, elle ne se rend pas!" ("The Guard dies, it does not surrender!") of Napoleon's Imperial Guard at Waterloo. 

ALSO fuck it, Adron e'Kieron activating a spell that will kill him or make him Emperor.
