But this does mean exiling the reds, but I have got the blues to agree that it would only be one month, and I got the entire CLA army leadership, including me, to also agree to exile themselves as a symbol of solidarity for this month.

This is ridiculous and you know it! One month of exile?! What would that achieve, exactly?

Why should the Dwellers of the Lookout be the ones who are exiled from their homes just because the blues' leader was the first to fall in combat?

You brought in outsiders to win a civil war for you without telling them which side they were fighting for.

Basically the way I see it was this:
1. Blues wins, exile reds, it all sucks forever now
2. Reds wins, exile blues, it all sucks forever now
3. CLA wins, blue and red leadership both likely dead, either ineffectively try to pass through reform which eventually leads back to the status quo for antoher civil war down the line, or force myself as a dictator on both groups
4. CLA controlling the blues wins, 1 month exile, have the support of the blues to push through reform, hopefully can also have Vermilion get support of the reds to push through reform.


I was hoping to ask Vermilion to act as interim blue leader in my force exile, in which case I would name him a honorary blue as a symbol of "hey lets all work together you gently caress faces"
I figure they might not accept that, in which case I would offer it to you since you are exiled from both groups, and it would also set a precedent of those who have been exile of coming back to these lands.

The blues hate me, even moreso their usual. After my fight with Cobalt, my low reputation with the blues plummeted. I doubt they’d want me acting as their leader, even if it is for a short time.

Plus I’m opposed to red and blue existing in general. So long as the colour divide exists, nothing will change.

It would achieve nothing. Its pointless. I don't agree with it.
But what would you rather me do? Win as CLA and force myself as dictator, with Burg and Sapphire both dead?

Also the uh, outsiders in my ranks seem fine with my decision.

That can't change over night. These people were hollow out by Sirrus and Achenar, and the only thing they have left is the colors. That is something we have to change slowly, and I already have ideas on how to work in that direction that I will get on paper soon.

Also, part of the reason the reds got so pissed off was that Sa kept on prioritising Blues in their eyes. The Oasis being upgraded, for example, and the fact that a Blue was elected to lead the nobles guild. Now you’re telling them to be exiled. That isn’t going to endear them anytime soon.

How about this, challenge Burg to a duel and win, get the reds to agree to a one month exile instead like I have, and I will let you win this war.

That is how much I believe in this fourth option.

...if neither side was willing to consider peace otherwise, an interim government that is neutral is not the worst idea. Especially one that comes from within your ranks but isn't preferential to either side.

It would be an interim government that would be hated by both sides, cause them to scour outsiders even more, and would not be able to pass any sort of real reform.

This one was fighting to prevent his birth-people from being exiled by the blues while the CLA swept in and made everything better - or so he thought.

He is loathe to find himself fighting alongside one such as Ardite Mateev, but hey: the boy has spirit - he'll give him that.

Hopefully Ardite won't die and take the secrets of who recruited him and armed him to his grave.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I am not sure what a month of exile for the Reds is meant to achieve besides making them all extremely angry at you. Besides possibly giving a bunch of the Blues an opportunity to refuse to let the Reds back in when the month ends.

You’re assuming the blues will happily go along with being exiled just because their leader said so. That’s putting a lot of misguided faith, especially after you promised them that you’d get the reds exiled.

Why is either side being exiled? Why should people have to leave their homes? An influx of an Age's refugees is a lot for any of the current Ages to handle and for what purpose?

Why not exile the blues now, if you're the one who's in control? They lost the War when you defeated their leader and assumed power.

No more fighting needs to occur if you stop the War right now, Zeal Ruin. Admit that the blues have been defeated and let them accept their exile.

You know that wouldn't work, I am saying we would put through an act of you winning the war by me having a tactical retreat once you take red leadership. And then we will just wait a few turns as you obtain the win objectives.

I feel like we should be talking to Choaneen or whomever is in charge of Sa. Having a large influx of exiles is going to have a gigantic effect on the age and Sa might not have supplies to cope with it, especially after the bomb attacks. The bomb attacks probably also painted the reds and dwellers in a real bad light with the people of Sa as well. I think just exiling a whole bunch of exiles is narrow-minded, even if it’s just for a year. There are so many factors in play that could lead it to being a disaster.

There is no point. I don't agree with this.
What will happen is an interim leader, again... I just named possibly Orchid, would over see things and with the help of outsiders, maybe we can hire some mercs, to protect red lands and possesions, or the blues if it comes to that.
