Dunscon and the Fed of Magic

[Shark_Force]

however you feel like doing it.

edit: oh, and my personal opinion is that the federation of magic is not particularly united at all. parts of the federation recognise dunscon's authority, and those parts would basically be the only ones to be affected by any plot to overthrow dunscon, in my opinion.

It can always be done it's just a matter of planning, will power to carry it out, and execution.
I'm just not very well versed in the magic aspect of the game yet to pose a just how it could be done plot though, still catching up on all the spells and latest technowizardy rules.

Oh so you are not very well-versed in the magic aspect of the game. That figures.

And the point of you insulting Gamer happens to be?

Geez, I am not insulting anyone. Stop being so thin-skinned.

How to overthrow him? So many ways - a dweamor loyal Tolkeen "refugee" faction in the City of Brass, direct intervention by the Lords of Magic, a TW bomb designed by Stormspire... and for my money, I see Dweamor taking the lead with Stormspire as a very close second/partner... perhaps with the Federation lands being signed over to Tolkeenites to rebuild their city in the Magic Zone.

IDK...I know the Federation of Magic is supposed to be the Yin to the Coalition's Yang, but I just dont see the FoM as the magical version of the Coalition and see them as very much of a threat in North America, in character or in overall popularity of gamers who play Rifts. Overthrowing Dunscon would be insignificant.

[Shadow Wyrm]

I'd have to go with killing Dunscon really wouldn't do much at all. Before he returned the FoM was sitting around longing for the past. If something happened to Dunscun now, the FoM would fall back into it's funk. Maybe there would be a short burst of action towards the CS, or who ever was responsible, but in the end the would go back to the way they were before Dunscun cane back.

[jaymz]

I think he (Dunscon) is too egotistical to belive he could be assassinated thus makin it not as difficult as one mihgh think. In fact it may be easier to assassinate Dunscon than it woudl be to assassinate Prosek.

[Grell]

I voted yes. Just outsource the job to another Republican hit squad and send him the way of his father.

That would be poetic.

Dweomer just needs to take their triumverate balls out of their giant purse and drop the hammer to dispense indiscriminate justice.

[jaymz]

Yeah I;d have to agree that if the Three were to get involved they coudl eliminate him post haste if neccessary

[Lenwen]

Yes it would be "possible" to assassinate Lord Dunscon ..

But why would you ?

Yes the man is pure evil .. but he is a pure evil man .. who is not doing anything to anyone at this moment ..

Killing him will leave a vacume of Power .. from which some one/thing could easily usurp .. and then actually START building up the Fed's military might ..

And actually START .. to wage war's on or against its neighboring nonmagical communities ..

Slowly .. start decimating everyone .. or everything ..

And with the Minion War about to pop off on Rifts earth .. do you REALLY .. think it would be a wise move .. to kill the demon/devil you know .. for one you have no clue about ?

[Balabanto]

But they DO have a clue. If Duncson dies, Splynncryth will look elsewhere for allies. The Federation of Magic will temporarily become a set of warring principalities, with Stormspire and Dweomer offering alternatives to the old regime. By the time the war is over, Dweomer will extend the hand of tolerance and friendship, and Stormspire will extend the hand of cash.

WURD.

I agree, if dunscon was taken down, Dweomer should take control and bring it under some universal rule, to keep this "bastardization" of the FoM from happening again. If they don't, there'd be so much in fighting it might bring the CS into it and cost Dweomer.

[dark brandon]

The problem with dweomer taking control of the FoM is that the three would have to force many and I do mean many, of the various splinter groups to conform to their ways. I don't see the the Magi, nor the Three doing that.

They could just risk it.

sigged. just...sigged.

[Balabanto]

That is the most wrong thing ever...

Fade in to Alistair Duncson, sitting on his throne of skulls, scheming vengefully against the Coalition and all who would oppose him.

Duncson: Those fools from Dweomer will never see it coming, and then they will have to join me, Bwahahahhaaaa!

Coran D'zir: Really? (Fades into existence with the most massive testicles ever seen on a living being.) I suggest you teabag this! Spineless fool!

(One single stroking motion later...)

Duncson: WHAAAAAAAGGHH!

CRUNCH!

We can close the door on this ugly scene from here.
