Jack likes to roleplay as a Rogue when he games. Of course there’s some that might suggest he rarely hides the inner Rogue in real life. Such people are obviously jealous of Jack, because he has no idea what they are talking about. He is a perfectly respectable man of business after all…and if any of his business happens to result in some fat cat misplacing his well-stolen gains, that is entirely the result of Karma. Jack had nothing to do with it…Pinky swear.
When Napoleon VIII stepped down, he gave himself and his descendents the power to suspend the elected government at their wish. But he was canny enough to know that politicians may decide not to step down just because he said so. And he did not want to have to use armed force to back up his dictate if he was ignored. He therefore built an insurance policy into the new French Constitution. It allowed the reigning head of the House of Bonaparte to call for an immediate resolution of no confidence, voted on by the people of France on the second Sunday following the call. If a fifty percent plus one majority passed the resolution, it initiated new elections for all government positions. Including the Presidency.
The Cowboys have become more Peloran than Terran in many ways over the years. We learned how to fight as a team during military training. Then as individuals under Peloran command. Now we go all over the place on our own or in duos. We don’t team up much. Rarely get the bands back together. I miss that. But I’d be lying if I said I looked forward to seeing a threat that needed all of us to fight it. I’m happy to get together just for reunions.
Many Texas Tech students died the day the drug gangs attacked. But Dixie and Twilight saved many more in brutal living color on the live net broadcast. When it was all over, they apologized for their damaged appearance and walked away, leaving holographic avatars of their chosen looks for all to see. They comforted the wounded, mourned over the dead, and did all the other things that real people do. And they were hot robot girls with guns. They became instant net celebrities.
There were many protests when Napoleon IX suspended the elected government. Parliament and the Councils continued to meet and stood in solidarity against Napoleon. The President and Prime Minister called Napoleon a figment of the past who had no right to the power he claimed. Napoleon responded by reminding the French that even the arrogant English had once been a backwater to the vaunted French nation. He said he had a dream of France reliving that figment of the past and his audiences roared in approval.
