REACTION SPEED - Wait a minute, all this told us *nothing* about who Dick Mullen actually is...
YOU - How do you accumulate victory points?
SUZERAINTY: THE BOARD GAME - That's where the suzerain's vassals come in. The game features four vassal nations, each one home to an economically important resource...
SUZERAINTY: THE BOARD GAME - Each turn the player collects resources from vassals where they've placed workers. They may then rearrange their workers, fulfil contracts for coin and bonuses, or build structures back in Revachol...
REACTION SPEED - As you leaf through the pages, your eye catches on a sidebar labelled 'ADVICE FOR BEGINNERS'.
YOU - Read the advice.
REACTION SPEED - "Remember, there are many paths to victory in *Suzerainty*, but successful players will find *one* strategy and commit to it wholeheartedly."
REACTION SPEED - Remember what the rulebook said! You'll want to choose a strategy early on and stay committed to it.
a thought that takes 8 hours to internalize and costs a skill point that i know damn well does absolutely nothing except let harry get verbal confirmation that kim likes men and yet i keep internalizing it every. damn. time.
Distracted brain
YOU - "Tell me about this Edgar guy you keep mentioning?"
EASY LEO - "Mr. Edgar is Mr. Evrart's brother. He's looks a bit younger, he does, but a very smart fellow, very smart fellow indeed. He's away on some Union business... Not even in Revachol, they say..."
YOU - Don't interrupt Leo.
EASY LEO - "All kinds of places he visits. Him and his brother both do when they're on a vacation. Right now it's Mr. Evrart's turn to look after the Union, but last year he spent a whole winter in South Safre." He chuckles.
EASY LEO - "Left with the first autumn rains and didn't come back before the trees where green again." The little guy chuckles again.
ENCYCLOPEDIA - South Safre? A lot of *bulk* chemical manufacturing going on there. A lot of cargo shipments being made too.
REACTION SPEED - The trade must've been lucrative for the trip to be so long.
KIM KITSURAGI - "I'll keep an eye on him." The lieutenant cuts in faster than you can reply. "Don't worry."
REACTION SPEED - He's not going to let you make a fool of yourself or the RCM in front of this girl. Not while he's here.
YOU - "Go ahead, pull the trigger. I dare you."
THE PIGS - "SUICIDE BY COP! SPLIT-SECOND DECISION. EAT LEAD, SCUMBAG!"
HALF LIGHT - OH MY GOD!!!!
REACTION SPEED - In your peripheral vision the lieutenant releases the half-squeezed trigger.
KIM KITSURAGI - "God..." the lieutenant exhales loudly and uses his off-hand to wipe his forehead. "I almost blew her head off..."
