Live!!

Who: resident dragon man and you
Where: Lobby
When: 184 morning

Good morning, everyone! I've decided now is the best time for us all to have another debate, now that our guests have been excused.

As many of you know, most of those guests were like me. Damned from other shows, instructed to take part in the show to make it more entertaining. During the week, we all saw and did many things, and hopefully, no one is holding much of a grudge.

Especially toward Future is Now, because I offered to murder, but they refused, and tried to protect as many people as possible, and we still were victorious, some how. So they should be applauded!

That aside, there was also that. . .live. As someone who has also stabbed a child, it made me think. How exactly do I want to reach my goals, and what should I sacrifice to get there? Personally, I don't think my stance has changed much, but we definitely shouldn't stab children. Only deimos! So I apologize for my brash actions from before.

So my question for the rest of you, even though violence can't be completely avoided here, when is it an appropriate first choice of action? I imagine many of you may have had to make extremely hard calls this week, so I have to wonder. Please discuss.

[150% sarcastic:]

Well it's always good to be honest with ourselves.

[windsofwar]

It is, because I'm always honest with myself.

[right over his head]

[Le sigh]

Then getting back to your question...

Your first appropriate action should be to know your opponent.

[windsofwar]

So, talking, correct? That would make the most sense, though I'm used to fighting deimos, and there's no need to talk. It's kill or be killed.

But yes, talking is appropriate for most civilized opponents.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not at all. You don't have to talk to them to understand.

Just have Silence give you the run down. She's always taking notes on everything. And her perspective is usually unbiased enough.

Which leads to the second appropriate action: Use your resources. Outsource.

[windsofwar]

I. . .can admit a different perspective can help. Even with as much experience as I have, sometimes understanding people can be a total pain. Especially when it comes to mundane things.

[but puffs his chest, looking a bit proud]

Now outsourcing, I know how to do! Some people are far more suited to a variety of tasks, after all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good.

Then make sure all your actions are Shine approved. Think of him as a vizier. You have those, don't you?

Sort of? I had my mother and my mentor, but they're dead now. Technically I'm that, or an ambassador of sorts. [shrugs]

There's Tatjana, and she's great with tactical advice and PR! Despite working as a scientist on weapons of mass destruction and experimenting on other creatures, she really has an open mind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Who did you say? Tatjana? Exactly like that.

[The other attributes seem perfectly reasonable. What's not to like about her?]

[windsofwar]

[LEGIT ROLE MODELS]

Huh, alright then. Shine does have a pretty level head.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Very level. Sometimes even sober.

[windsofwar]

Isn't he always sober?
