1/10: Deserter is an automatic first pick, insane value. Never know when you might need a day-of-the-jackal type mad pervert for hard targets at INSURCOM. The party disavows of course.

4/10: Soona for cryptography/comms and being on the Politburo making plans. Ambitious techies have motion and we're gonna need that to take down those airships.

9/10: This is a big expense but the party needs foot soldiers. After a lot of thought I am picking Titus Hardie as Marshal of the Revacholian Red Army. Homegrown hero who brings along the militant union members who will make up the mass foundation of our national liberation struggle.

10/10: Last point I am using to pick up Cuno. After attending a party literary program he will learn civic pride and can serve as an inspiration for the other local urchins, who can help deliver messages, dig tunnels, and operate crewed weaponry for the people's army instead of dealing drugs and stabbing eachother.

Honorable Mentions:While I would battle corporate mercenaries to the death for Comrade Evart I am worried about his syndicalist and developmentalist tendencies. He is a bureaucrat who lacks the dedication for the people's protracted war against the coalition of nations. Better to recruit from within the Union through Titus.

I really wanted to pick Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Kras Mazov because I am one of those sentimentalists who believe the RCM can be made to defect to the people, but that plan and the man are the very definition of "unreliable" even if it would be brilliant to see.

Gary barf for a national united front against imperialism but its too cringe and the Revacholian right wing are a bunch of weak losers anyway. We don't need em, Hard no.

I think you could get better value for money if you picked measurehead instead of Titus. I also think you're sleeping on Evrart. He has his tendencies as he is now, but given the prompt he would not have those tendencies, since hed have yours instead.
My biggest issue with him is how he does urban planning, everything else seems like him just using the tools available to him. He's only a syndicalist because the unions are one of the few organisations still standing. The bureaucrat part of him I dont really see. Hes as much a bureaucrat as Joyce or the Sunday Friend, Papers are just one of the tools he uses. Its pretty clear he does so much more and is the core of planning for Titus and the rest of the Union.

Titus on the other hand seems kind of unreliable to me. Much more invested in being a big authority macho guy than the actual ideology of it all. He's a good enough guy, but not someone id rely on for anything more than being a brute. I think measurehead would be better, since he seems to dedicate himself entirely to his ideology.

I did not think about soona though. I'd forgotten her. She could be cool.

Sooner or later either you need to pika-pickaxe Evrat or Evrat pika-pickaxes you

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 4 points 6 hours ago

I completely disagree. Evrart seems pretty committed already and given the prompt he and I would agree on what would need to happen. He's a competent leader who understands his own strengths and weaknesses. I dont see any need for conflict.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 6 hours ago

You can become a member in his party. I think he needs to be on top of things

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago

I would want him to be. That's why I picked him. I also think he's pretty good at placing himself where he does best. He's not trying to step on Titus' turf or Mañana.

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago

He isnt trying to step on their turf because he put them on that turf. Call Me Mañana is carrying out (Well, he's not. But that's more of a laziness thing) the orders of Evrart. Titus likewise directly takes order from Evrart.

If my manager asks me to do a thing and then I do it, she isn't refraining from stepping on my turf.

I mean ... true but some still managers still manage to.
