Tell her about our talk with the Chriss and the gang looking to take her out, full disclosure is probably our best option if we really are going this route.

My logic was that as a freed slave Xanth is kind of drunk on the freedom to pursue his desires and let his emotions run rampant, and so as a result that's what he's focusing on in the heat of the moment. This stance is quite pliable and may change in time.

You cup Nivah's face with your right hand and slowly go in for a kiss, ensuring that there is no resistance before your lips finally met. You remembered stories that the men from the mine used to tell you. They would talk about that the women that were left behind when they were thrown into that miserable crater were the hardest things to forget. They mentioned softness and warmth, and in truth these notions had always confused you. Now you understood. At first she was tense, uncertain, but after a moment she falls into your kiss and you feel warmth spread through you. When the kiss breaks it feels as if it was entirely too short. Some animal part of you, some primal predator within flexed terrible muscles of desire and force, but you manage to control yourself.

"Alright. You answered my questions. Now it's time for me to answer yours. The person I was meeting... she was a Chiss woman named Cael'la who works underneath Master Xalia. She has been spying on me, and we spoke before dinner. She wanted to form an alliance of sorts with me. Since we aren't under the same Master she does not see me as a direct threat, and so she wants me to watch her back in case any of the other Apprentices try anything, and in return she will do the same for me."

Nivah's expression turns more serious as she grasps the gravity of the situation you are describing.

"While you were getting food I noticed some of her peers acting suspiciously. I listened in, and they're planning a collective effort to try and eliminate who they see as 'top dogs' under each Master. They mentioned her in particular, but I think because of my... showmanship I might also be in danger."

Nivah's eyes darken into an expression that nearly startles you.

"They can try."

One thing that was talked about a lot in the last thread that I wanted to address was the idea of a pet, like a humongous predator animal that you guys could train and would be loyal.

"Calm down Nivah, we have at least a week before they try anything. Do not let your emotions control you, wield them the same way you wield your blade."

She gazes into your eyes and her face softens slightly, yet there is still fire in her eyes. Good, she will need that.

"It's possible that you will become a target. People have seen how close we are and they may try to use you against me, so always be on guard."

She nods curtly.

"I will need to inform Cael'la, but she would not be pleased if she knew I had taken you into my confidences like this. So this will be our secret. You understand?"

You squeeze her shoulder softly to reinforce the seriousness of what you have told her.

"Yes, I promise I wont tell anyone."

You smile and pat her head.

"Good. Now, if you truly wish to help us dispatch these threats when the time comes, it would probably be best if she thought I saw you as an easily manipulable pawn, rather than an equal. Do you think you could pretend that role? She's a scheming and cold woman, and she may see our closeness as weakness. She told me as much earlier."

Nivah mulls over what you've told her for a moment, then she looks at you.

"If it keeps you safe I don't care what I have to do."

What she says tugs at your heart strings but you shake the feeling. You are still ultimately unsure of your intentions with Nivah. For now if she is willing to at least act the part of a pawn it could set the stage for your ultimate decision.

Guys, I have a bad feeling about this. We are telling her too much and revealing too many of our cards.

The pawn thing as a ruse is alright but ultimately I think we would like to have her as an actual pawn, which would requiere breaking her, mentally mostly.

>>37389089
Personally, i'm more in favour of master in the bedroom and pretending hostility everywhere else so that she draws our opponents to her for easy identification and disposal.

That can work.

We know, we need to be more cautious from this moment forth, right now we've laid the foundations for her being our loyal servant, but we don't need to break her with torture or something like that immediately, it will be a long and slow process of slowly rebuilding her mind and worldview to be centered around being loyal and subservient to us.

>>37389100
We've told her enough to start that breaking process, its a subtle thing and will take time, but from here on we don't need to spill everything to her, just tell her enough to satisfy her while protecting both of us.

"I should try and meet with Cael'la and explain to her what it is I discovered. You should get some rest, today's been an intense day for you."

Nivah thinks for a moment before nodding but before she walks away she gets up on her tip-toes and gives you a quick peck on the lips before turning away red faced and scurrying off. After a moment you decide to make your way into the Academy to find Cael'la. It isn't hard to find her, as she is in the cafeteria, watching the straggling apprentices like a cat watches the mouse it plans to make it's dinner.

You approach her with as neutral an expression as you can manage, and nod slightly to indicate your wish to speak to her. She motions for you to follow and she takes you out into an empty hallway.

"You found something my dear?"

"So, i've confirmed your suspicions about being at risk from the weaker members of your master's group, but that's not such a surprise."

"So, I've confirmed your suspicions about being at risk from the weaker members of your master's group, but that's not much a surprise."

Cael'la breaks into a cruel smile.

"So, the weaklings wish to face the apex predator. How amusing. What did you hear?"

"They're planning something in about a weeks time. Apparently they'll be working together with the dregs from my Master and Master Vessa to take out all the top apprentices."

Cael'la's expression falls a bit.

"Then we may both be in legitimate danger. A handful of the whelps is laughable, but a mob is beyond anyone at our level. We will likely need to work together to correct the error in their judgement. As the time grows nearer it is likely we will need to spend more time around each other to prepare. I suggest-"

She is cut off as you both instinctively tense and turn. Rodrik stands at the end of the hallway, out of earshot but quickly approaching with a sneer.

You turn to Cael'la and naturally resume a conversation that was not happening until just now.

"And so after Rodrik tried to fling the third saber at be I flicked it back at him and it smashed him right in the face."

Cael'la catches on and laughs what may just be a genuine laugh at remembering the scene from earlier in the day.

Rodrik's smirk falters, but he still attempts to appear in control of the situation.

"Gossiping in the halls? I took you for many things slave, a woman was not one of them. Perhaps if you're lucky and manage to pretty yourself up one of the more desperate boys in our dorm will pay you a visit tonight."

"You know, with most of the dorm plotting to mob you because of your obvious talent, you don't seem very concerned."

Rodrik's arrogant eyes show a flash of fear.

"What are you talking about?"

He snaps as he goes on the defensive.

"I was telling Cael'la about how I heard a bunch of the less talented apprentices are planning to mob you in a few days because you pose the biggest threat to them graduating. Damn shame really you had your whole life ahead of you."

Once again you see fear in Rodrik's eyes and starts working himself into a fury.

"T-those degenerates! Do they not know who I am? I am Rodrik Kambran and they will rue the day they sought to plot after me."

He quickly storms off concocting his own plans.

"I can help you kill him if you like. He is an insufferable roach and I now owe you after you provided me with that info."

Cael'la eyes you curiously, her eyes filled with venom for Rodrik.

Hey heres a plan. We should create a fake journal full of misinformation of ourselves and plant that along with Caellas journal on someone we need to get rid of. Doesnt have to be Rodrik either. Just a plan for the future. Could even plant info about Rodrik if we find anything interesting. Could coincide with whatever plan the scrubs have to take us out like they gathered the data

>>37389711
Sounds good to me, though the longer we have Cael'la's journal on us and not planted on someone else, the bigger the risk, so we need to stash her journal on someone else ASAP.

>>37389667
"Much as I appreciate the offer, I relish the opportunity to break him myself, one day."

Cael'la's smile twists into something even crueler, but you notice a subtle shift in the way she regards you. Respect perhaps?

"And having an attractive girl owe me a favour is a nice thought."

Cael'la's brows raise slightly and her smile transforms once more into something more coy.

"I see. And here I thought you have your sights set upon the mouse. Does this beast perhaps seek to hunt bigger game?"

You shrug your shoulders noncommittally, but you feel a devious smile of your own cross your lips,

"You were saying you had a plan, before we were interrupted?"

Cael'la nods, quickly returning to business.

"Yes. For the moment if what you heard is correct we will be safe, however I suggest we make a habit of being seen near each other if not with one another entirely. I may sit with you and the mouse during meals as it will cultivate an image of acquaintance if nothing else and they will not become suspicious if we suddenly are seen together when they plan to strike. And who knows what else may happen in our... time together."

>What do you say?

>Sounds good, I'll explain to Nivah that you're interested in training together or some other nonsense
>I feel like even that would be too suspicious, they might lose their courage if we're together
>I'm almost more interested in our time together than the threat at hand now

>>37389726
Or just drop it into a canyon

>>37389711
It'd be a good idea if it wasn't a giant pain in the ass.

Maybe farther in the future where we have an opportunity for some far higher stakes deception, right now it's kinda overkill.

>>37389726
Her journal is stashed in the rafters above Rodrik's bed.

>>37389729
>Sounds good, I'll explain to Nivah that you're interested in training together or some other nonsense

>>37389729
>What do you want me to tell Nivah?

>>37389729
>I feel like even that would be too suspicious, they might lose their courage if we're together so much, but its worth a shot.
>What do you want me to tell Nivah?

>>37389729
>I'm almost more interested in our time together than the threat at hand now
Honestly I kinda wanna spread our options, don't wanna just settle on Nivah just because she's the first woman we saw, that's kinda lame.

>>37389733
Yeah it could get fairly convoluted quickly. Just an idea to at least use the information we currently have about the scrubs.
>>37389729

It is? Excellent, I though we still had it.

wtf is that spose to mean? who's the bantha and who's the nexu? What's a horse? so confused

>>37389766
I'm all for seeking out more options.

If we can keep from committing wholeheartedly to anybody but reward people attracted to us with time together for good service in other matters, that sounds like a win/win.

Yes, but a meta for what?

>>37389729
>Sounds good, I'll explain to Nivah that you're interested in training together or some other nonsense
Flirting right after that moment with Nivah leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

>>37389796
yeah, but if im hunting a nexu why would i want a bantha?

>>37389785
bantha are like cattle, nexu are like big predator cats, a horse is a horse, how do you not know that?

he's saying if we're hunting bigger game, why not also hunt the smaller game as well.

>>37389806
If you go kodiak hunting do you just ignore the deer you come across? No you don't, you respect all forms of the hunt, you don't get tunnel vision otherwise that kodiak will end up mauling you apaart because you let that deer get away and it tipped off the bear.

Translation: let's fuck them both.

>>37389801
We only called her attractive.

If anything, I see it as a ploy to lower her guard a little around us - which she may do, if she thinks we're smitten.

And personally i'm trying to engineer a situation where they fight over us and we go with the winner.

>>37389808
If I'm hunting a nexu I probably don't need food. If I was hunting a tiger I wouldn't go and shoot a cow if I saw it in a field.
Next your gonna start going on about hammers and volcanoes.

>>37389822
>And personally i'm trying to engineer a situation where they fight over us and we go with the winner.
I'm trying to engineer a situation where they fight over who gets to be on top in the bedroom while we go with both of them.

>>37389827
Then you are a terrible hunter, you probably don't even know how to navigate a stalk with other wildlife on the trail. If you come across a cow while hunting a tiger, yes you do shoot it, or otherwise use it to get the tiger.

>>37389829
Same here, I'm imagining Nivah and Cael'la playfighting and wrestling, with Cael'la coming out on top, and lying on top of Nivah as we fuck her, while Nivah eats out Cael'la.

>>37389827
>>37389840
You're missing key cultural context. If he was hunting a tiger and saw a cow, he wouldn't shoot the cow because tiger hunts are an Indian thing, and they regard cows as sacred.

>>37389851
well then.

>>37389729
>Sounds good, I'll explain to Nivah that you're interested in training together or some other nonsense
"Though it would do well for you to be cautious around Nivah. I have learned her secrets. She is less of a mouse, and more akin to Tiger raised amongst sheep. She has power, and cunning, she just doesn't know she has them yet. She will make a magnificent attack dog one day, if I can guide her to her full potential.

Is anyone else having problems with Captcha loading?

>>37389801

We're a Sith, not some daisy boy with a tender heart. We survived our entire life in a mine. We had no trouble crippling a guy for life in what was essentially a mock fight, and even found pleasure in this act of domination. We are not gentle. Hell, we had no qualms about manipulating everyone earlier, and now that we had some warm time with the first girl available, we find our self helpless and weak?

Free yoursef from your shackles, brother, the Siths do not forgive weakness.

>>37389852
>he wouldn't shoot the cow because tiger hunts are an Indian thing
No they are not merely an Indian thing, many cultures around the world hunt tigers for cultural signifigance.

I didn't say we'd share the secrets, just that we had confidential information which should lead to her respecting Nivah. As a potential tool, if nothing else.

There's some value to pure paranoia. Either one of the ladies may one day decide to off us. Compartmentalization is key. The enemy of my enemy may still be MY enemy, and introducing them to a potential ally is folly.

>>37389896
If anything I say we be nice to Cael'la but Nivah is our waifu and no one else.
She already seems to be pretty devoted to us, and ruining that by doing anything with Cael'la would likely ruin that.

And yet they all play an equally comparable roll in those cultures.

"Sounds good, I'll explain to Nivah that you're interested in training together or some other nonsense."

Cael'la nods in approval.

"Good. Best to keep your pet out of the way, she will prove to be a nuisance if you're truly attached to her and they try and use that against you,"

You decide to keep your discoveries about Nivah to yourself for now, as the wrong information in the hands of someone like Cael'la could prove to make things volatile.

"Well if there's nothing else to be said I will be going back to my dorm. Today's been busy and I need to make note of what has happened. Have a good night my dear."

She winks at you and walks away with a sway in her hips that you have to fight yourself from watching. She is a dangerous woman, but a potentially powerful ally.

A weakness. One that will be used against you. One that will be used against her. I have no trouble with romantic interactions. But it is her that must rise to our level, and not us that must step down to hers.

We are have cast away our bonds, and now we are eager to see ourselves chained once more. There is no love in the Sith universe. Because your ennemies end up knowing about it. There is passion, there is physical attraction, there is the appreciation of a kindred spirit, there is passion aplenty. But you won't find happy couples. Why? Because they end up dead.

If she's devoted to us and we do things with Cael'la, we make Nivah stronger as a Sith.

That jealously, anger, hate - all of it gives her a festering mess of emotions to draw power from.

That said, Nivah is our closest ally at this point. But i'm in no hurry to get close to either of them before we leave the academy because they might be dead.

'corrupts'. Define 'corrupt'.

You're projecting an awful lot of your preconceptions onto this quest, and Sith as a whole.

Sith are about following their passions and letting the things that motivate them bring them strength. Nothing more.

>>37390070
Then you probably should have actually read the quest before looking like a fool with egg on your face, on second thought, please don't, there are already enough of you raging edgelords around being idiots.

>Also is telling someone that ants have six legs when he said they have eight is telling him how to run quest?
When they are the ones deciding how many legs ants have, yes it is.

>>37390068
>Slippery slope is a logical fallacy
Not him, but simply stating that your rival has employed a fallacy is not actually a valid way to dismiss his argument without presenting a counter.

In effect, by labelling his argument as 'worthless' simply because of said fallacy, you are employing a form of "No true Scotsman" I like to refer to as "No true Argument".

You claim that his simple inexperience with the higher concepts of debate invalidates his very opinion, which is patently false.

>>37390098

Not much to tell.

They started as an argument between the first Je'Dai council. One faction argued that forsaking all passions and attachments was dangerous and self-defeating, that a healthy balance of duty, self control, and emotional health was needed.

The rest of the council disagreed. They argued, it got heated, swords were drawn, blood was spilled. The je'dai survivors hounded the 'dark je'dai', forced them to militarize.

They escaped the first purge, found a planet of force-sensitives (the Sith species) and merged their own teachings with the practices of the native 'sorcerers'. Together they explored the outlying bounds of what the force could do.

Eventually, the Sith returned to the stars, seeking new limits to overcome and new passions to explore.

When the Je'Dai's descendants, now the sterile and oppressive Jedi Order, found the Sith, they immediately started a genocidal purge, devastating Korriban's ecosystem with orbital bombardment, and introducing invasive predatory species that would harass and kill the remaining life on the planet and make it inhospitable to future explorers. The Sith fought back, and in the process took on practices directly opposite the Jedi's strict aestheticism, forgetting the importance of self control and self discipline. Their new attitudes were equally damaging to their mental health as the Jedi's were, and soon both orders were equally flawed sides of the same bent and mangled coin.

It has been a matter of strike and counter strike ever since. Each side is always eager to take on deserters from the other, and both have forgotten the importance of balance in their practices. Though the Sith Code has remained constant since the early days, the Jedi code was altered to its current state because its original version taught careful balance of controlled emotion. The original Je'Dai code is something many of the more successful Sith live by accidentally.

>>37390435
This

The only real problem with the Sith isn't that emotions drive them, it's that if you need powerful emotions to drive you it's easier to use negative ones.

For a lot of the Sith if they need power on the fly it's a lot easier to maim a random peasant and feed on their horror than it is to marry a random peasant and power themselves from love or something, negative emotions are just way more accessible, so they tend to be pricks.

The Jedi on the other hand are all about denying emotions completely, which kinda makes them hypocrites since a lot of them simply live in a delusional fantasy land of self righteousness and emotion burbling beneath the surface that they pretend isn't there. If they weren't at least a little hypocritical, they never would have fucked the Sith hard in the first place, there's a reason the Sith say their hatred for the Jedi is about revenge, but the Jedi like to pretend the Sith are pissed off for no reason.

Of course, those examples only apply to the worst specimens of their respective orders, and while it can be said that 90% of Sith are evil and 90% of Jedi at least try to be good, there's still a lot of diversity in what people are like within those orders, so not every Jedi is Buddha and not every Sith is Satan.

>>37390570
>>37390435
Yeah, so to all the edgelords, just because a lot of sith spend their whole time being angry and hating everyone, it doesn't mean we need to make Xanth act like that.

>>37390675
Most Sith don't hate everyone, they hate people that they have a legitimate grievance against.

>>37390703
>What is hyperbole?

>>37390675
We don't need to be angry edge lords, but we do need to maintain a kind of intensity about us.

If we get too chill we'll literally start getting weaker, unless we decide we want to tap into the light side instead, which opens up a whole new can of bullshit we'll have to deal with.

I'm all for not being an evil bastard for no reason, but it's probably smart if we indulge as much as possible when we get a legit opening, like maybe torturing the shit out of Rodrik for being an ass to us.

>>37390715
Something the raging edgelords don't know how to use, also that doesn't even begin to address the argument at hand.

>>37390722
>like maybe torturing the shit out of Rodrik for being an ass to us
Honestly, I quite like having Rodrik around.

Yes, he's a pompous, insufferable louse, but his mere presence as a rival motivates us to be the best sith we can be.

Even if he tried to kill us, I wouldn't vote to return the favour because it's clear he has talent - and infighting amongst the most powerful or talented sith, killing off promising prospects just for the sake of it - always struck me as wasteful for the empire as a whole.

By all means, give him something to remember us by, but consider this:
The Jedi vastly outnumber the sith just by virtue of their more inclusive training regimens.

Less of their prospects die, and though that means their warriors might not all be on par with sith forged in the fires of conflict, it would be arrogant to assume even a weaker jedi posed no threat.

In theory, a sith should not kill another unless there is literally no other choice, even if it would seem 'safer' or 'easier'.

>>37390821
Rodrik is more of a threat to us and other Sith than the Jedi are, and if he tries something on us, I'm not leaving him to opportunity to kill us or those we care about at a later date just because you want a shonen manga rivalry.

>>37390821
Leaving him alive after he tries to kill us would just be letting him have a free shot at killing us again, and fucking stupid.

Sure the Sith need more Warriors to fight the Jedi, but above all else, they don't need Sith who are more detrimental to their own side than the actions of their enemy.

If he tries to kill us, we kill him, no if's or buts, he dies.

>>37390821
I don't agree.

Honestly, I don't give a damn about the Sith as an order, and neither do a lot of the Sith. The order is more of a tool for individuals to use than an actual club we owe anything to, though they will try to force us to do shit.

Still, he's violent and petty enough that if we let him go unchecked he'll probably cause more problems for the empire than he'll solve, he'll also probably kill more than his worth in other Sith if he graduates.

The fact of the matter is, he's nothing more than a problem for us, right now he's a bit benign but eventually he's gonna pull some shit and we'll have to put him down.

>>37390832
>Rodrik is more of a threat to us and other Sith than the Jedi are
No, he isn't.

Like us, he is a determined servant of the empire - proud of his heritage, yes, and afforded arrogance by his obvious talent - but definitely not "more of a threat to us than the jedi".

Of course. Being Sith is a constant struggle. That's the way it should be.

The more you have to struggle, the more practice you get, the more powerful you become.

There's no point killing him just because he might try again some day - most of what would motivate him to kill us is fear that we may be picked as an apprentice over him, being that we're in the academy.

Once we both graduate, get made into apprentices... where is that motive?

People think that only one prospective sith comes from every group, and that all others must die - but that's a product of the wasteful, selfish thinking of individual acolytes rather than the system itself.

And I thought we were agreed, generally, that Xanth wouldn't be played as edgy for the sake of edge?

>>37390891
>not knowing about the Rule of One

>>37390891
Unless the jedi plan on attacking the temple then Rodrik is our biggest threat, being the only other person under our master who could beat us by themselves.

If you seriously think that just because he's a
>dedicated servant of the empire
that'll stop him from attacking us then you're rather naive.

plus who ever said we actually care about the Empire? Prob one of their mines, or atleast one that sold material to them, that we worked in.

>>37390891
>That's the way it should be.
>So we should just let our enemies remain free to harm us and those who are ours
That is just fucking retarded.

>he is a determined servant of the empire
Pfthahahaha, yeah no he isn't, he's a trust fund babby giving mind powers.

> most of what would motivate him to kill us is fear that we may be picked as an apprentice over him, being that we're in the academy.
No its not, he see's us as not worthy, and would probably try to kill us just out of petty vindictive spite.

>There's no point killing him just because he might try again some day
But there is a lot of point if he tries to kill us.

>where is that motive?
As he's shown, he is not a bastion of unflappable logic, he doesn't need any more of a reason than he doesn't like us.

>And I thought we were agreed, generally, that Xanth wouldn't be played as edgy for the sake of edge?
We did, but letting him live just so we can have a rival for the sake of having a rival, while leaving him alone to ruin our plans and harm us and our minions, that is edgy for the sake of edge, akin to borderline grimderp shonen bullshit.

Face it, Rodrik is our biggest threat for a long long while. and if he tries to kill us, we'll kill him, you try anything else, and your the one being edgy for the sake of edge

>>37390891
You are a deluded fool.

>>37390891
>Being a loyal servant of the empire is a good thing.
Even if Rodrik was, which I doubt, why should we give a fuck about the empire?

>Struggle will make us strong, so why not let Rodrik do whatever?
Why not just smash our face into a wall while we're at it? Pointless struggle is still pointless, he's a thorn in our side, he's not gonna make us stronger he's getting in our way.

>Once we both graduate, get made into apprentices... where is that motive?
Being a spiteful little shit is probably enough of a motive for him and his ilk.

>Xanth wouldn't be played as edgy for the sake of edge?
That doesn't mean why should sit back and do jack shit when a man wants to murder us. We have ample reason to want Rodrik dead, and not only that, we probably NEED him dead to boot.

There's a difference between not being fucking evil and having thinly veiled Jedi-tier mercy on someone that doesn't deserve it, if Rodrik backs off I'm fine to let him walk away, but he WON'T, so we need to take care of him. Let's not be a little bitch about this.

>>37390891
>And I thought we were agreed, generally, that Xanth wouldn't be played as edgy for the sake of edge?
We did agree that's not going to happen, which is odd because what you're arguing for is being edgy for the sake of edge...

>>37390906
>the Rule of One
I'm not sure what needing to kill your master to take their position has to do with our situation with Rodrik. He is not our master.

>>37390913
>Unless the jedi plan on attacking the temple then Rodrik is our biggest threat
No. Our biggest threat is laziness, complacency, and overconfidence.

If we kill "the only other person under our master who could beat us by themselves," then we forget that we have to fight for everything we want.

>If you seriously think... that'll stop him from attacking us
Of course he's going to attack us. So? He's sith. If we were a typical sith, we'd attack him, given the chance. It's perfectly reasonable for him to attack us.

>who ever said we actually care about the Empire?
Well, seeing as how Xanth is fucking ecstatic to be learning to be sith, I get the impression he does quite like being a part of the empire.

>>37390927
>we should just let our enemies remain free
He's not an "enemy". We're on the same side. We're just fighting for the same position.

>>37390940
>>37390953
>>37390962
You know, fuck it. Y'all feel free to just go around killing everybody we don't like.

That's sure to end well.

>You know, fuck it. Y'all feel free to just go around killing everybody we don't like.
Good job taking our words to mean whatever the fuck you want, you didn't even bother reading what we said did you?

Where the flying fuck did we say we'll go around killing everyone we don't like? We've given you a shittonne of reasons why IF Rodrik tries to kill us, we will not be letting him live, how the fuck is that going around killing everyone who looks at us sideways?

Don't be retarded.

>>37390982

How can you be this stupid?


Please explain, I wanna turn it into a drug and gas bomb ISIS with it.

>>37390982
>I'm not sure what needing to kill your master to take their position has to do with our situation with Rodrik. He is not our master.
The Rule of One states that there must be one apprentice. Not two, not one and a half. One.
Rodrick is our fellow potential apprentice. We need to kill him.

>Well, seeing as how Xanth is fucking ecstatic to be learning to be sith, I get the impression he does quite like being a part of the empire.
He's ecstatic to learn how to be powerful and crush his enemies. Not to serve the Empire.

>>37390982
>then we forget that we have to fight for everything we want.
No we don't, stop talking for the rest of us you idiot.

>Well, seeing as how Xanth is fucking ecstatic to be learning to be sith, I get the impression he does quite like being a part of the empire.
>Given freedom and the chance at attaining power for himself
>Somehow equals "I must suck the empires cock at every chance"
How did you manage to get to the conclusion that Xanth must like the Empire, when he was a slave in its mines, and the only reason he is doing so well so far is because he is reveling in the joy of his freedom, of his newfound control over his own life, and the powers he is developing? That has no connection at all to the Empire, and I imagine he doesn't think kindly of it.

>We're on the same side
No we are not.

>Y'all feel free to just go around killing everybody we don't like.
Right, good job putting words in our mouths.

>>37391013
>The Rule of One states that there must be one apprentice. Not two, not one and a half. One.
>Rodrick is our fellow potential apprentice. We need to kill him.
That rule isn't followed by this Sith empire actually.

>>37391013
>The Rule of One states that there must be one apprentice. Not two, not one and a half. One.
Different anon, but you're forgetting how Brine has said that's not the case here, he's actually clarified that several times, so do stop trying to spout that as fact and applying here when it doesn't.

>>37391002
>you didn't even bother reading what we said did you?
Funnily enough, I get the impression you all spent a lot less time considering my words than I did considering yours.

Our quarrel with Rodrik is a petty, unimportant, personal matter. If we're going to kill someone just because he does things that are expected of us, that makes us an evil, lolrandumb murderer.

>>37391013
>The Rule of One states that there must be one apprentice.
Per master.

There is more than one master looking for an apprentice.

>>37390982
>feel free to just go around killing everybody we don't like.
I DO like Rodrik though, he's a fun character, but I don't understand how you don't see him as an enemy.

>we forget that we have to fight for everything we want if we kill Rodrik
That is straight up stupid. How is killing a man for being in the way of something we want not 'fighting for what we want'?

>Xanth is fucking ecstatic to be learning to be sith, I get the impression he does quite like being a part of the empire.
He's ecstatic about not being a fucking SLAVE of the empire.

>we'd attack him, given the chance. It's perfectly reasonable for him to attack us.
Except you don't want us to attack him? That or you think this some kind of non-lethal sort of 'attacking' with no fucking point. Why attack him if we're not gonna kill him.

>Our biggest threat is laziness, complacency, and overconfidence.
Those are not problems we have.

>>37391041
>If we're going to kill someone just because he does things that are expected of us, that makes us an evil, lolrandumb murderer.
No it does not, and if we do kill him, it won't be for those reasons, stop being this stupid.

Dude, what?

>If we're going to kill someone just because he does things that are expected of us, that makes us an evil, lolrandumb murderer.
Killing each other is EXPECTED of us. He is plotting to kill us, guaranteed. I don't get why you think he should be able to try and kill us, and not have us try to kill him.

>>37391065
>I don't get why you think he should be able to try and kill us, and not have us try to kill him.

You would have to be trolling with how stupid you are being right now, outright ignoring our points and inserting your own to keep your argument going when its been shut down already.

Remind me to never vote for your write-ins again.

>>37391103
And I'm Brine.

Those posts don't stop you from apparently being massively retarded, and somehow thinking that keeping Rodrik alive just to endlessly stab us in the back for help fold our katana 9000 times isn't being edgy for the sake of edge.

Like Brine said, people not cartoon villains, so stop being a moron.

>>37391110
The only counter to my thoughts on the subject so far has been a childish accusation that sparing someone is somehow more edgy than killing them despite the QM stating that killing entire classes of aspiring sith is unnecessary in his setting.

>>37391071
This isn't a high school bully situation where walking away makes us 'the bigger man' (In fact, even in real life ignoring bullies is dumb as shit, if they hit you or hurt you than you should defend yourself, not just lie to yourself with "at least I'm a good person =')". We can't metaphorically 'tell the teacher' so we're gonna have to wreck him.)

Also, we're not a fucking Jedi, that level of forgiveness and mercy is completely wrong for what is essentially a kill or be killed situation.

>>37391103
They're trying to rationalize you as a troll because right now you're not making any sense.

>>37391125
>sparing someone
Leaving Rodrik alive after he attempts to kill us, just so he can stab us in the back from our blind spot purely to keep our skills sharp and to have a 'rival', that is not sparring someone, THAT is being edgy.

We are not arguing that we need to go full murderhobo and murder everyone in our class, and we have never said this, yet you keep putting those words in our mouths, so forgive me for thinking you have an IQ of 7 and cannot possibly comprehend a different view than your existing.

You stop acting like a complete tard and making no sense, and I'll treat you like a sane human being again.

>>37391125
Killing entire classes maybe, but not killing the one guy who is better than us and would gain the most from killing us in return.

>People talking about the Rule of One

Learn to fucking read. OP explicitly stated more than one apprentice can survive.

>>37391125
>sparing someone
That's not what you said at all and you know it.

>Also, we're not a fucking Jedi, that level of forgiveness and mercy is completely wrong for what is essentially a kill or be killed situation.
Except it's been stated multiple times that in Brine's "version" of the universe, it's not truly a kill or be killed situation.

>They're trying to rationalize you as a troll because right now you're not making any sense.
That, or they don't want to admit that what i'm saying makes a lot of sense.

Xanth, so far, has shown himself to revel in his newfound power, to thoroughly enjoy any kind of control he can exert over people: and anons voting on decisions made have almost uniformly been possessed of an incredible ambition, wanting to command others to act in our name.

If we take that to its logical extreme, we want to become an influential lord of the sith, at the very least, and may well be in a position to change the empire itself for the better, altering its creed back towards its more moderate roots as a middle ground between the dogmatic view of the Jedi and the vicious, overcompensating, moustache-twirling evil of the canon sith.

>>37391164

>>37391209
>That, or they don't want to admit that what i'm saying makes a lot of sense.
What you're saying makes no sense at all. You are acting like we either must go full lightside or murder everyone, and that we are saying we should murder everyone, when we've never said this at all, in fact this started from us agreeing that we do not want to go full raging edgelord.

>If we take that to its logical extreme, we want to become an influential lord of the sith
That is not logical at all, there is no correlation between Xanth's revelry in his newfound abilities, and his desire to work for the empire or not in any capacity. Xanth hasn't even stated his opinion or thoughts on the Empire yet, so its is sheer hubris to somehow think you can draw the conclusion that because we liked manipulating someone for an advantage in the academy, that we are dreaming of becoming an inquisitor.

I'm not saying we don't want to become something like that, we may one day aspire to, but currently? Xanth hasn't even thought on the matter.

>No, it's not.
I don't even get what kind of point you are trying to make with that quote chain as it is completely nonsensical, especially as I was agreeing with Brine and what he has said on this matter...

>By misrepresenting my argument badly and repeating the same tired phrases over and over, yes.

Buddy, your doing that all by yourself, you've been going in circles and not making sense since you started this argument.

It is sad, its sad you are somehow this stupid, when we agreed with you about Brine's points from the beginning, and yet you've somehow managed to create this mess of convoluted bullshit.

>>37391209
>If we take that to its logical extreme, we want to become an influential lord of the sith
Except that's not logical at all, thats pretty much the opposite.

If we used logic, we would not want to become that purely because of where we've come from, the Imperial mines, which colours our views on the Sith and the Empire to this day.
