The only reason why he appeals to the masses before attempting a move is because he is nothing without support. He is merely a victim of grand dreams failed if he doesn't have the means to fulfill them.

The only reason he has appealed to the "masses" is that he needs support in order to rule. A ruler rules nothing without people to hold his or her authority over, and Conrad is well aware of this fact...I am pretty certain of that.

Otherwise he wouldn't be asking anything and simply march in with his obsolete army.

Me, well I'm technically one because I never voted on your campaign in the first place. Catch me if you can!

Did I say that I was in that post? I merely said that I was rich, not popular. Popularity wins in the end over money, however much of it is spent.

As for popularity, I admit that I don't have as much of that valuable stuff as Ghost or Conrad, or some of the others do. But at least I have left my mark, and I can walk away and be proud of that.

I agree with you there. Latin isn't the official language of the OT; English is. If Conrad seeks to confuse the people in general because of their relative lack of knowledge about such languages, then he isn't going to garner any support.

Run a campaign as an equal...it might get you a lot farther than riding in on your high horse and proclaiming yourself dictator over the masses...who for the most part are not flocking to your cause.

----------------------------------

And as for your Roman legions, again they are hopelessly obsolete and can be dealt with even by Digger's Interceptor...

At least I have one good thing going for me: I'm out of the reach of both, and can fire when I please...the fact of the matter is that I can't be bothered to do so right now...

You can't be reached? OK, if you're going to bring this into spacefleets....

Well Ghost, this does say something about you...

45.45% of the OTD would rather have Conrad lead over you and 54 54.55% would rather had you lead over Conrad. And even in the election, you didn't win a huge % of votes. This means you have to shape up to your role, in you want to be succesfull.
