>>34238Torcuil and Trollestia are married?
>>34238Okay, so in retrospect that was an act that was a bit more questionable
>>34241Torcuil says he doesn't have a waifu
>>34239Huh, I'll think about it
>>34239>ebin featsYes
>alignmentI will say, he'd make a far better Blackguard than Paladin, and that without taking any penalties. Not taking sides, just commenting on proclivity.
You saw that chad-meme about "always getting cucked by anti-paladins right?>>34241"Waifu" has no lawful standing
>>34244you're dodging the question.
>>34244>"Waifu" has no lawful standingI object! Waifusim is an aspect of nature ingrained in universal law.
>>34244>>34248Are you talking about the waifus I've gained with digits? I guess those are universal law, but otherwise, a waifu is no more important than a girl you want to date but cannot
>>34246Okay, desu yes, Machiavelli
does endorse engaging in philanderous activity outside of marriage, such that it benefits or trends toward a better situation for the house, the state, etc.
>>34248e_e Citation needed
>>34251then Machiavelli is a degenerate.
>>34252That's a subjective interpretation, wholly biased, and lacking any objective qualifiers
>>34253objectively moral degradation destroys counties, ask the Romans.
Please don't attempt to apply conventional morality to established Court discipline,... it just doesn't work
>>34251I don't really recall any endorsement of philandery in either the Prince or the Discourses on Livy. I guess it's present in the Mandrake, but I interpret that to be more of a synecdoche for divine based morality
>>34211Mixxed Nuts, a summary
>>34253TIL I'm wholly biased against Machiavelli whoever the fuck he is
>>34254Machiavelli agrees with you
>>34255Machiavelli is against luxury, since it weakens war readiness
>>34257GO BACK TO SCHOOL YOU PLEBEIAN!
>>34249There is no pillar of honor, tradition and faith more sacred than a man's dedication to his waifu.
>>34258then why is he promoting degeneracy?
>>34258Luxury yes, but he's not for aesceticism, and he makes numerous mentions that what upholds the Prince and thus the Province is best.
>>34259There is a sacred rule in contract making more sacred than any other
GET IT IN WRITINGtl;dr get a legal marriage
>>34260Ask GM. I'm putting this under CITATION NEEDED. Although I guess it is a plausible interpretation of Mandrake
>>34261He casually mentions "abstain from their women" (I think in reference to the son of the last king of Rome raping Lucretia and causing the overthrow of the monarchy...) as a requirement for an established monarchy to continue
>>34262>abstainYes, but in general, his position can easily and conclusively be read that "If getting his dick wet prevents tyranny, then let his dick be whet"
>>34258You didn't answer my question
>>34263I mean... sure, if there is some super bizare circumstance where having sex with someone saves the kingdom. But like, when does that ever happen outside of the context of a political marriage, which is not philandery?
>>34265You asked a question?
>>34267a degenerate philosopher.
>>34266Congratulations, you just proved the opposition's point
>>34266oh that was my next point,Danke.
I don't understand any of this
>>34268His name sounds italin
For reference, I wasn't advocating that Machiavelli was entirely correct, I was citing him as a resource that would be largely (though defeatably) accepting to Trump's actions.
>>34271You,... don't know who Niccolo Machiavelli was?
>>34273I probally do, but the name isn't ringing a bell
>>34275He is famous for coining the adage (bastardized) "The ends justify the means"
>>34244How long will it take Tracy to learn, Dodge, Mobility, and Spring Attack, in that order?
>>34276the means justify the end though...
>>34262>legal marriageWho has the authority to notorize marriages? Clergy?
>>34267Niccolo Machiavelli was a Florentine Statesman and General who lead the Florentines in war and who was instrumental in the creation and operation of the brief lived Florentine Republic, circa late 1400s and early 1500s
He is best known for being a political philosopher and historian, writing
The Prince in 1515 and
Disocurses on the First Ten Books of Livy in 1517. He, more than anyone, could be credited with bringing about Modernity in Philosophy with an entirely new way of looking at epistemology and morality, at least since the Greek Classical era
>>34272He is a very good model, yes, although I don't think he would appreciate Trump's aversion to lying
>>34279Fae is a priest, and we're building a courthouse. I would say the State, if you meant that as a philosophical question

Anyway, Tracy returns to the stables to nurture her birds, after synthesizing a bag full of elephant meat.
How many severed heads are in the mess hall?
"I've returned, my Angels." Tracy declares softly, before hugging her birds and feeding them.
What gender are these birds? I can tell a chick's gender by their down arrangements, but I can't see these.
>>34281>Fae is a priestIs she?
>The stateWhat state?
>>34283Just no damned severed heads, and definitely not in the mess hall
>>34283>Is Fae a priestI made her a priest very early on
>What stateThat was a general answer. It would be the relevant state
>>34286Actually, Tracy's faggot what birds are legal to own?
Also, have you raised pigeons?
