The Sentinels

**Fixerben** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 20:07:43

Yes, but you must know that some Clan guilds do support the Sentinels. This may cause problems if we attack them, and then the Sentinel Sympathetic guilds come after us.

So, Be discrete...We will have a meeting on this topic at an undisclosed time and location soon. I will contact anyone interested with details.

**______________Freven** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 21:20:38

Just one question...

How old is Silverstone?

**Fixerben** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 21:24:59

Well if I was a baby when the Clanners escaped from the Mines and Silverstone came about lets...err nm, I will look it up, lol

**UwensBack** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 21:28:21

Well, I will trust your judgement Fixerben. Let me know.

**Fixerben** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 21:34:24

Well this is the first time we ever hear from him:

July 05 29470 - Simon Silverstone, leader of the clan Sentinels, declares that the members of the Council of Truth are traitors to the clan cause, and cuts all political ties with the Council. The Sentinels are immediately joined by a large number of extremist clans.

7 years ago he turned extremist. Thats not to say how long he was around before then. But I assume he is probably older than 7 years.

Ok, thanks.

I am only asking because of the Insurance Reclaim limits... once you age too much, usually around 65, the next time you die is the last time.

((OOC: Which is intresting to note, since Ross is 60, and FC planned a four-year story line...))

**Fixerben** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 21:59:27

Interesting, I had never thought of that.

**Fixerben** · Jan 23rd, 2003, 22:09:28

29447 Philip Ross, a lifelong company man, becomes the youngest CEO in Omni-Tek's history.

Lets say he was 20'ish then. That puts him right into his 60's now. So thats your answer...

Hi.

**Fixerben** · Jan 24th, 2003, 18:25:26

(OOC) Excuse me Kinkstaah, I was under the impression that Storm was a non-RP guild. That means that you have no stance on the Sentinels. Am I mistaken, or are you simply a Roleplaying individual that does not represent the guild, but only your personal oppinions?

**______________Nelida** · Jan 24th, 2003, 18:38:55

When the Sentinel thugs first took over Tir I screamed loudly for Clans to organize daily patrols to cull their ilk AND for Clanners to offer escort service to Neutral travelers. Where exactly did it get me? With all due respect however, at that time those guards were pumped up on some kind of hyper-steroids and were pretty much impossible to kill.

I'm all for a Sentinel Abatement Program...hehe. Count me and my Ithaca in on any such program.

**______________Nelida** · Jan 24th, 2003, 18:42:17

Discreet my cute little tooshy Ben...

I say damn those Clanners that support the Sentinels...I'll put my Ithaca to their heads as readily as to the heads of the thugs that have stolen Freedom from Tir.

If you fight for Freedom then you better fight ALL enemies of Freedom...be they Clan, Omni or Neutral.

**______________Nelida** · Jan 24th, 2003, 18:46:36

The Silverstone is NOT a leader of a faction...he is the head of a gang of thugs...as such he is NOTHING but a common criminal and should be treated as such by ALL the citizens of Rubika. No different than Diamondcut...a criminal.

As a criminal it is our duty to remove him with EXTREME prejudice and to do it publically so all of Rubika knows we do NOT tolerate murderous criminals in our lands.

Uwen, this is more then about killing off a tyrant. So far, the image of the Clans has been bloody, very very bloody. Our government has consisted of nothing but coup after coup. We look like nothing but war-monging barbarians.

We need to do this coup with as little violence as possible. We have more then a city to reclaim.

We have an image to clean up.

But, if we really do have no other choice...

Anyway a doctor or agent could make an "accident"?

((OCC: Thanks... hope I don't screw up.))

**UwensBack** · Jan 24th, 2003, 18:50:22

Once again, some excellent statements Nelida. I completely agree and couldn't have said it better myself.

**Fixerben** · Jan 24th, 2003, 19:13:39

Now Nelida, do we as civilized people really treat criminals like that? We didnt even do that in the 21st century. I agree that mass murdering does warrant a harsh punishment. But we cant just run in there with guns blazing. Political avenues have failed as well. Our only last way is to bring about his demise in some sort of sneaky way. I am still hashing out the details of this in my mind. I will let you know when I am ready to move forward...

**UwensBack** · Jan 24th, 2003, 19:20:23

No, perhaps criminals were not treated that way Ben, but I assure you warlords were. While the possibility of a sneaky assassination is possible and probably more likely to be successful, the open assault on Silverstone should not be completely ruled out if the sneaky assassination fails, especially on the grounds that he deserves treatment better than any warlord thug.

I know that running in with guns blazing may not work, but a large crowd assembling in range of Silverstone and all opening fire at once, especially if we had some of the afroementioned "special" weapons, then I believe it cold work and we should not ignore it as an option.

All that said, I still agree that the quiet way has a higher chance of success, though the crowd firing squad would be more satisfying.

**Fixerben** · Jan 24th, 2003, 20:06:47

Yes, lets say we can get 50 people together. And each of them has a special attack that will take 5k HP from Silverstone. Assuming he doesnt Parry all of them. No one has ever tried to kill him before.

now 5*50=250k

I dont even know if he has that much HP, I dont know if he has more than that. We would need a LOT of people. So if you think we can get that many people to go into Tir to kill him then I will try. I dont even know if he has a damage reflect shield. I will do some reconnaisance tonight.

**BigGreen** · Jan 24th, 2003, 20:26:51

If perma-killing Silverstone is the only way to rid Tir of the Sentinels then I am willing to support this action, and will help in the battle. However, I believe that there is another way. In the past, leaders have been abducted from Tir and then either freed or PK'ed. Why not do the same with Silverstone, but place him in the Athen Prison? The guards will still need to be dealt with of course while the action is going on. With their leader in prison, I suspect that the rest of the Sentinels will leave Tir.

**Fixerben** · Jan 24th, 2003, 20:31:28

I am doing reconaissance tonight to see if any of this is even possible.
