    Striking OL and failing didn't serve their objectives. That doesn't narrow it down. Best not miss. Mosteel is acting like they want to deny it but expect to be facing a lie detector. Interesting on both sides.

    Missing close quote.

    No, no, specifically "wise man (derogatory)". The suffix "-ard" typically means "too much of that." Drunk-ard: too often drunk. Cow-ard: too often/easily cowed. Wiz-ard: too clever for his own good. (Also braggart, laggard, bastard (probably), dullard, buzzard... Really productive suffix back...

    It's thaumically active enough for Vulcan to be hanging out here, right? So they could have scry wards, the interdiction/Teleport Trap is plausibly magical, and mind control spells are possible.

    IIRC, historically, the time you usually get fairly rational authoritarians is when there's a total collapse of legitimacy, usually from a monarch descending into utter fucking incompetence without particularly good lineage backing them up. That's how England got Cromwell. (Who was brutal and in...

    Well, that would certainly be a way to negotiate independence for Havania.

    My first guess was a lizarkon slave revolt, an Underground Railroad that's just gone John Brown. Hyathis getting involved makes a lot of sense, though.

    IIRC Grayven being a New God makes him part of the System and Status Quo too much to cause the Yellow Man problems.

    I think it's more like a USSR Communist who loses an internal power struggle and defects to a US embassy. "Hello, these guys hate me. They also hate you, and you hate them right back. Can I come in?" They wouldn't have (necessarily) invaded Hell if Hell gave him up, but he went to Hell because...

    It's been a long time, but Word of God years ago put Boss Smiley in the ranks of The Light.

    You're confusing change for the median and for the extremes. People are high-variance; in DC, maybe moreso. Why do people join Kobra? The bizarre extreme tails won't do the sensible thing; they might go on an anti-Smiley supervillain bender, but they also might join up with him. Missed...

    No, no, we've been over this. Paul is a pedant about nemeses. (And about most things.) Smiley can't be his nemesis because he didn't create or cause Smiley. It's just that Reach guy. Archenemy, though, that's fair.
