The OP says that there is a Gaius Sextis in the game. There has not been a dead Gaius Sextus. Therefore His Majesty must still be in the game.
So you're not willing to be the two loyalists? It would be a masterful performance if you were.

Lio, were you on Alera imperia last night? This will help answer the extra loyalist question.

Use the fucking Occam's razor. Even PC got it eventually.
I can't confirm or deny things, because I don't want to end up angry Vengy's second serving of pork chops for the day.

No, I'm not willing to be the two loyalists. If I was, that would be great play on my part, but no. I assumed Lio was Sextus...

Yes, I moved there from Elinarch. PS was true about speed. (But "better communications"? MY fucking ass. And yes, I'm royally pissed about this (no mup intended), and will probably NEVER let Blend hear the end of this)

OK, then the only possibility left is that Galain is a loyalist, though that really makes no sense. Unless you recruited him.

It was obvious from my post that I was explaining book lore in this post and how it could translate into recruiting mechanics. If you'd quoted my entire post that would be inherently obvious, but instead you only quoted that one line.

this amongst Ryll also suggesting complex LP mechanics, mod puppets, independent roles and more? With specific suggested victims on day 1, no less (you can already tell Sheltatha is an independent after 5 posts?!)
Talk about someone who's not worried about hitting their own teammates so they'll throw shit just about anywhere...

-If the Vord recruit the rebel recruiter, they can still keep using the slave collars for even more recruitment - NASTY!

In other news, after sleeping on it I think the Vord faction is one player with 3 alts, each alt representing a Queen and her army+helpers (including Keepers, Takers, mantises, Vordknights, etc). Just like how a furycrafter can only use one active ability with their attack, OR can only do one of their fury abilities instead of an attack, the Queens probably have multiple abilities that each Queen can only use one of each cycle (ie: Recruit, Attack, etc). Also, the 3 Queens being united under one player makes them more of a hive-mind horde mentality/behaviour.

I don't buy the recruiter getting recruited
That would just break the game.

I'd love to know whose ability is giving us the occupancy stats in the daily digest. Since no one dares claim it now on pain of modgod does anyone know if it was established earlier?

how?
he never said he was un-recruitable.
And there are limits on what can be revealed, so mods could do some serious damage control about too much info.

So queen recruits the person with the collar who can still recruit? How does that not get out of hand quickly?

From whatr was said (before the pig-eviscerating lighting bolt of doom), the collar doesn't actually "recruit" as in "change allegiance". it "compels" the wearer to do what the "compeller" tells them to.
I think correct wording is important here, so as not to work yourself into a corner. Didn't Gait also mention being in decently close proximity to the whole Elinarch/Antillus area of action?

We haven't been getting the stat updates all that often, who knows how long it'll take for the next one?
We should think this shit through, while we have the opportunity.
