They made the fatal miscalculation that this is not a governance game nor a storytelling society, it is principally an electioneering simulator. And in-game reality would bend to maintain that.
Oh, this is very bad for me, because I can only convince people of the opposite of what I am trying to convince. With my "CHA Mod -3", I'm not fit to play an electioneering simulator.
I just thought that since we're comfortable with wumao-spam in some of the international discussion threads, we could be even more comfortable with certain playable characters and not see their players as evil that needs to be stopped immediately by any means. Separatists can still be dealt with in-game ways, even though it will be difficult.
