I doubt we can take on Shulgi himself in our current state, yes. And if Rimush is such a spineless bastard as we've just seen, surely Shulgi knows this too - and knew about the risk of him spilling everything. So it seems we are in a difficult position here.

No vote yet...

I don't see we can pull this out without anyone's help. The king might have enough scouts to examine the dam...

C for now. Open to persuasion for D only

FINE! FUCK IT! D

How's our physical condition treave? The way I read the second last update, our wounds were already closing and we were feeling less exhausted. I get the feeling that Shulgi was feeding us this information in order to delay our advance as well as lure us personally into a trap.

Edit:
Let's be big damn heroes...

Edit 2: Fuckit B, unless it looks like A is winning, then change me to A

For the same reasons I voted the fuckit option and will keep voting it whenever it appears. :D

The trek to the dam will be less strenous than combat, so your physical wounds should be pretty much healed by the time you get there. Your hand, and your mental exhaustion is another matter though.

A 4
B 1
C 4
D 4

A three-way deadlock. Thank you, CappenVarra. :lol:

Well, no rush to decide. I'll be without access to a proper computer for the weekend, so you can expect the next update in a couple of days.

:bro: everyone, thanks for the support so far.

I actually want to vote B now, because thinking about it, it is the last thing Shulgi will expect. Knowing about the Prince's utter stupidity, Shulgi surely will have expected us to know about his plan, then come to him either alone or with the King (A or C). You could also say D but we've invested many decisions in this 'arc' so far, it seems silly to run away when the odds aren't exactly stacked against us. And if Sargon orders us killed or exiled afterwards? Well, end result is same as D! If Sargon dies? Not the end of the world, if we take a notch down Shulgi. Shulgi is our true rival, after all, and much more important than Sargon.

In any case, as B is missing votes, I'll vote A for now. (I did not vote previously.)

A chance to vote for bear cavalry the awesome choice? Very tempting.

But I want to vote for B a lot more, and A is winning(Unless I can't count)..

D Let's find out whether or not we'll get the 'fuck-it' option while doing the 'fuck-it' option.
Might flop to B if it gets a surge of votes.

B Flip flopped to B.

Why would you run away now? It's a measure if things are getting too hairy, and we need to spend a few decades wandering (say if our army had been defeated at the walls and Shulgi became the undisputed leader of Akkad). But right now victory is pretty much assured, just with the question of whether a lot of civilians die or not.

Personally I generally share Curufinwe's desire when it comes to choosing the option, and here it's the most 'safe' choice, but the most strange time to be able to pick it, I had assumed that we wouldn't be able to pick it again until after the siege, but the fact we can choose now, has made me want to.
Ontop of that it's actually got support for once.

Based on my lastp ost, Flip to B too then, let's get this going. We have a couple of days as treave says.

B, since some of you are dead-set on running away when we've already done so much hard work. There's just Shulgi left and, unless he's grown at a rate many times quicker than ours, he's still vulnerable to a lot of crap.

Alright, I flip-flap-flopped to B in my original post. I'm not going to vote for running away, but we're too tired to face Shulgi alone. I guess we can hope that the confusion works in our favor or that Rimush's story was a plant by Shulgi and our use of reverse-reverse psychology wins the day.

Bad choises here. Hopefully the king doesn't order us to do something stupid.
