FE4 Chapter 5: Threshold of Fate Lübeck --> Phinora Yeah, I had the Gobi desert in the back of my mind, but as you say, there's a Himalaya nearby, which Silesse doesn't exactly sport. Agreed with Jotari that the desert makes for a good dramatic location for Travant's trap. Every Fire Emblem player knows the frustration of manoevering horsies through the desert, even if it's not entirely realistic. Well, it's a common thing in most FE games that you don't see a lot of the country, and mostly just the rulers and nobles duking it out. For Grannvale, we have to add the problem that the entire politicking happens off-screen because Kaga hadn't figured out that you can show stuff from outside the current location. That is not a Star Wars quote I was aware of. ...perhaps the archives are incomplete. (and apparently, imgur deleted that picture. I wonder if Lei(l)a's bikini triggered a porn filter, or if it was a copyright claim) I can't comment on gen 2, but... yes. The ch.3 Dracoknights were irrelevant and harmless. I know that it really helped that I happened to have Def Ring!Erin flying around, but they still made an awful first impression. Oh, I like that. Definitely a realistic scenario that Hezul didn't overrule inheritance laws, although one has to assume that some day, if Genealogy hadn't happened, one of Eldigan's descendents would've proclaimed that his holy blood clearly marks him (or her) as the more worthy king/queen.

You know it's "good" when a villain starts his speech with a variation of "As you already know". My irony detector's readings are inconclusive, so just for clarity's sake - he's Travant in the patch. I just slapped a "b" (well, a mirrored "d", I didn't find anybody with a b in their name or class) for the sake of the joke. Good to know. Considering that I didn't notice that Ava/Eva/Alva (or whatever their names were in this patch) technically have individual portraits, I doubt I would've noticed this. *tips forehead* Can't be accused of double-standards if your definitions are sufficiently precise. Depressed (not necessarily insane) old Azel sounds like a pretty good concept, honestly. Not only was he not able to save Sigurd, it was his own brother who killed him, and now Azel is entirely at the mercy of said brother, his wife (substitute with "his old crush Aideen" if he's unmarried) is dead or missing, he probably doesn't know anything about his own childrens' fate (if they exist)... Could make for a very bitter, jaded character, but ultimately sympathetic towards Seliph (so he might try to help from behind the scenes somehow), who could potentially be re-recruited as playable by one of his children. I don't expect that last part would've worked in the original FE4 (the conditional aspect of it), but it's still an interesting scenario to ponder. How do you double a Trabi's value? - You fill 'er up. The Agustrian succession seems to have set the precedent "ding-dong", or maybe seniority before Major Hezul blood. Hezul was the first king of Agustria, so presumably, Chagall is a distant cousin of Eldigan's, from a branch of the family where the Hezul blood has been "watered down". And that's what happens when you don't incest, kids Seasonal progression aside, I don't mind that Silesse isn't entirely a one-climate country. It would make sense that there is some arable in Silessia. What I find more odd is the proximity of the Yied desert to Silesse. I know that the Sahara isn't representive of all desert in the world, but I still associate the sandy terrain with a heat desert, which would be awfully close to the seemingly more arctic Silesse. With how little information we have at this moment, you could probably argue either way if fleeing to Isaach or staying with Sigurd is more safe. But I would assume that whatever risk assessment Sigurd has made for Seliph, that should more or less apply for Shanan, too. Sure, Grannvale would likely not want to have a claimant to Isaach's throne running around, but if Sigurd fails (fat chance, amiright?), chances are that the Powers That Be also wouldn't want a Chalphian heir to survive. It's about ethics in government, really. And Quan's mistake still comes across as believable, I find. He tunnel-visioned on the dangers posed to Leonster while he is away and his father is sick, so he left behind his most trusted knight, probably had all ballistae maintained and manned and Wingslayers distributed to the Sword Fighters... but he completely blanked on the fact that, if you split your army in two, both halves are going to be vulnerable. It's a huge mistake, for sure, but one I can sympathise with (minus the "getting yourself, your family, and half an army slaughtered as a result" part, of course).

(between 0:40 and 1:00, in case the timestamp doesn't work)

Silly Ruben. It is impossible for lefties to agree on anything - you know what they say, "lock five leftists into a room, and they will come up with seven mutually exclusive theories". It seems you have forced my hand to go against every suggestion you make. Indeed. The only thing more lethal would be a red shirt (a scientific law that even extends outside of Fire Emblem and into Star Trek!). That is a musical reference I wouldn't have gotten without Google Yeah, I made use of that with Aideen earlier, and maybe other characters as well, although I don't remember. But between repairing Tyrfing, repairing the Silver Sword (which I believe is at single-digit uses, too), and maybe buying the Renewal Band, overloading Sigurd with cash shouldn't hurt, especially because other characters aren't really wanting for money. That said, I might give Dew's haul to Taillte so that she can waste 20k and use Paragon during the next part. She and Lewyn (who hasn't done the arena yet) are the only parents that aren't at least Lv.29 already.

FE4 Chapter 5: Threshold of Fate Sachsen --> Lübeck okok, Zaxon --> Lubeck. *grumble* You're using this term to denigrate Pegasus Knights, but you fail to consider the musical implications: I feel increasingly encouraged to add Karin to the permanent roster (well, as permanent as the stamina system will allow) for Thracia.

In the first Pokemon generation, there is a rather obscure way of evolving Pokemon that normally require an Evolution Stone (like Staryu with a Water Stone or Clefary with a Moon Stone) via level-up: At the end of a fight during which the Pokemon levels up, your active Pokemon has to have an index number correspoding to the appropriate stone: Moon Stone - Exeggutor Thunderstone - Growlithe Water Stone - Onix Leaf Stone - Psyduck Fire Stone - some specific MissingNo. So basically, to evolve Staryu, send it into a fight and swap it out for Onix (or, in a trainer fight, have Onix defeat their last Pokemon). If Staryu got a level-up during the fight, it'll evolve into Starmie. Not very impactful for the elemental stones, since they're available for sale (so Growlithe doesn't have to be sad that it can cause, but not benefit from the glitch), but Moon Stones are technically a limited resource that this glitch can expand.

Yeah, I just did most of the arena runs (Lewyn is holding out a bit so that Bridget can grab extra XP in the fight vs. Lübeck), and money as a whole just wasn't that much of an issue anymore. I can probably just let Sigurd grab all the villages on this map and either buy the Renewal Ring for Seliph or fully repair Tyrfing, since nobody else is really lacking. Well, Midir had to do a no-Paragon run through the arena so that Aideen can afford all the staves that she and Lana will need, but he started the map at Lv.27. He should still cap easily. That is the problem with his generation. They spent all their money for avocado toast, so now they can't afford to gift their sons swords at a value of 50000 gold pieces. Probably thanks to the removal of the Hunter class, those association with Archers aren't as present in the post-Kaga series anymore. Wolt is still a soldier by trade, I suppose, but he does not have a bulky stat line (nor less movement than other unpromoted foot units). The other GBA archers are either mercenaries (Dorothy, Wil, Rolf if we count PoR as an honorary GBA title) or even civilians (Rebecca, Neimi). Not saying that you're wrong, since within Kaga Emblem, what you say certainly is correct, but I don't mind too much that Project Naga decided to call "The Class That Promotes Into Sniper" Archer, since that's what people coming to Genealogy from the newer games will expect. Similar-ish with the Forrest / Hero class - Merc=>Hero is well-established in most games since BinBla, so people will expect Mercenary to be an unpromoted class... although I also have to say that I associate Heroes with immoral moneygrabbing access to axes.

Grmph. The next time I ßee a ẞpaniard type out their laughter, I shall parße it at "yayayaya" aß retribution. Very nice I appreciate the commitment to beardmanliness. Possibly the second-best edit of that sort you ever did. (Sorry, Hawke, I have to give the nod to Mr Shannar still) Oh, that's funny. The one time the Shitty Earlygame Archer (if we can even call Jamke that, he's the 14th unit to join out of 24) has really good combat, it's because he's technically not an Archer archer. Right... It feels odd to consider all these kids as already born when they aren't acknowledged at all, with the exception of Seliph, Leaf, and Altenna (i.e. the kids without variable dads). But it's not like any of the pairings will retire to a lovely country mansion after ch.5. Crossover idea: Genealogy x Vampire: The Masquerade Very solid (weeb-)dad joke. Kudos. Oh my god! Has science gone too far...? *Noish!Fee procs Accost* Hmm.... (The question is more, "can Beowulf afford to buy it back? He's only Lv.25, so I'd prefer to paragon him through the arena, too." I suppose Scathach would appreciate +5 Str too, but the Power Ring would appreciate a wearer with a horse...) I might have forgotten to have Deirdre sell it. *whistle*

Don't tell me you're still saying "Meiben" in your head. To be fair, Langbalt could still be appalled by the kinslaying aspect of it, while being a-ok with murder in general. The "may you rest in peace" part is out of place, though. ...I should see if I can get Lex to kinslay him. Rough, because he only deals 2x2 dmg with Brave, and 8 with Silver, but maybe it'll work out. Hawke must be either really generic or have a really impressive beard if you like him so much. Well, come to think about it, you'd only have to find him barely tolerable in order to advocate for Pegasus Knight murder to make him exist. Project Naga renames Jamke's class back to Archer, actually. I think it tries to be a bit more consistent with the rest of the series with its class names - the "Forrest" class (according to the wiki) is simply "Hero", too. "Stabbing once is good and all, but have you tried stabbing twice?" - "She's a genius! She should write a book or something!" To a degree, you could rationalise the higher growths in gen 2 with their overall lower age, i.e. they still have more potential left to unlock than their parents did during their adventures. It's not universally true, of course, with the likes of Sylvia and Dew, but apart from Altenna, the kids are all at most 17 years old, right? The average gen 1 character strikes me more as in their early 20s.

Ah, but consider this: If it is very unlikely for Byron to survive for one year, how unlikely is it for him to survive for one year and 45 minutes? That's good to know. I swear I didn't plan to overstack Erin->Fee, I just underestimated the power of the initial money + Bargain injection for Erin.

FE4 Chapter 5: Threshold of Fate Zaxon (turn 0) Ah. I thought otherwise because the wiki has "default growths" for the children listed, but looking a bit closer, those are just 50% (for boys) or 100% (for girls) of the mothers' growths. Agreed with this conclusion to the Rescue discussion. Your explaination why Daccar is killing his future subjects makes sense, and so does Ruben's idea that moving the whole tutorial to Orgahil would've made more sense.

I do wonder about that name, too. Unfortunately, the .org wiki (which usually has some ethymology on names) doesn't have a page for the Cross Knights specifically, and I can't find how their name in Japanese is pronounced. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kreuzritter, but changed to Cross Knights in the translation to avoid (or at least somewhat cover) the obvious religious connotation, but "Cross Knights" still seems like an odd name in a world without christianity. She has a blazing 0 AS with the Hand Axe, too! Honestly, it simply was the easiest 1-2 range available to her that isn't really expensive. And since the Pegasi weigh themselves down to negative AS with their Javelins (barely - they have 17 Spd and Javelins have 18 weight), Raquesis even doubled and one-rounds them. Well, apparently, the portrait of the king of Agustria is going to be reused for some generic boss, too, so Kinbaith is in good company. Always funny to have an underflow bug in the wild. And I guess Dew was a lot more unlucky than I thought. I assumed that they always proc, since I'm pretty sure that's how it goes in Thracia - I remember that this is a central piece in recruiting Xavier. Something that I definitely won't make any promises towards. 10 procs / 22 level-ups = 45%. Yeah, that's pretty speedy. I assume Erin's the fourth, considering that we don't have a fourth named Pegasus rider. ...and yeah, the wiki confirms that. Honestly, since she's pretty low-level when she joins Sigurd, she really does feel a bit out of place in that line-up. -- My impression is that for the real elitist elitist, every resource has the same endpoint. His name is "Seliph". But no, I get what you mean, Paragon ultimately being a financial skill. The kids still have their innate growths, right? I don't want to look up right now how exactly growth inheritance works (it's getting rather late ), but in theory, it should've been possible to just crank up his innate Str growth by another 10% or so. Your explaination is still entirely possible, too, of course, although I would like to think that Aideen and Bridget's high stats in the respective useless Atk stat is supposed to show that they both would've had the capabilities to be in their twin sister's class.

In Turkey, a turkey is called a 'hindi'.

To be fair, it's quite in line with Daccar's general characterisation (he is not very smart). I think this could've been used better if Silesse had indeed been behind Zaxon, as I suggested in the update. Daccar moves to Silesse after André conquers it and actually threatens to kill Rahna when you come near. Or Daccar remains in Zaxon and, after you conquer it, turns out to be alive and bargains to be exchanged for Rahna, just to flee to Grannvale and appear as a minor boss in ch.5 - basically a shorter version of those traiterous Etrurian nobles in BinBla. Ruben's waifu (no worries, I'm not going to accuse you of liking an anime girl): But yeah, I agree with what you say about Lamia. It's consistently rare to find a woman in Fire Emblem that is allowed to be a villain instead of being vaguely Camüh-shaped. Petrine in PoR comes to mind, if you remember her. She even has some flirtatous lines with Greil as an additional parallel to Lamia, although Petrine of course has a much bigger role in her game, and is more brutish in her behaviour. Clearly, that is foreshadowing for just how disappointing Jahn's Long March is going to be as the last (real) map. And since I was just thinking about PoR - the Defend map right after Greil's death is another example, unless you're playing on Lunatic. On Hard, the challenge is to rout the map, ideally with non-Titania characters getting good XP. Staying alive is a simple matter. But still, the fight is followed by a cutscene of Ike almost fainting from exhaustion before Lethe and Mordecai arrive to save the day.

FE4 Chapter 4: Dance in the Skies [Thove/Sailane] --> Silesse --> Zaxon

For the narrative, the general layout of the map does make sense. Not-Bordeaux (I should call him Marseille) starts attacking once he gets word that Sigurd has beaten Maios, since that means that Sigurd is now much further away from the capital. It's nice that the villains are on the receiving end of some teleport bullshit for a change, too. I dunno, I find that ch.2 made a similar concept work much better. The long distances Sigurd has to travel are much less annoying when you can move your horsies a full screen worth of tiles every turn, as opposed to the frustrated movement in the Silessian forests, and I don't think it had ch.4's problem where there's literally zero pressure on you while you're only halfway to your destination. There are forcefields preventing her to actually move onto the land tiles, but the game is very charitable when it comes to Erin helping Claude and Taillte. This is right when they spawn, so Erin is able to immediately act as a frontline tank for them. Broadly agree with your points. I think the forcefield are particularly annoying in ch.4 because they linger for at least one extra turn (I haven't continued playing yet, so I don't know how this will work exactly) and I obviously can't say anything about the rest of the game, but I don't have a fundamental problem with them existing. I'm in two minds about the Critical skill - I do enjoy that you don't have the constant low% crit chances potentially screwing you over, like in the Akaneia games, but I don't like the multiple proc-based damage-increasing skills like Accost, Adept, Astra, which Critical in practise becomes one of. They add to the variance in Genealogy's combat, where almost every fight has like five potential outcomes with non-marginal probabilities, which I think is a weakness of the game. Wait a second... Why did I have Dew attack in melee-- Oh fuck, I'm an idiot. Turns out that when I reloaded the last turn of ch.3 to sell Ethlyn's Mend staff, I forgot that I had also picked up the Wind Sword on that same last turn. ...welp, minus one magic sword. That's annoying. The Wind Sword will only be available in ch.10, too. Good thing I didn't let Ethlyn take a magic sword with her, I suppose. It's pretty insane just how much micromanagement one can do with the arena Sigurd, Beowulf, and Erin could all go to 30-ish Def with the Shield Sword plus Shield Band. Definitely impressive, although I suspect that there's too many enemies that would ignore them to make that a good play. To be fair, christmas dinner can't really get much more awkward than Lewyn already makes it by being Lewyn. Nordion not being a warp spot is a bit annoying, yes. But as I said, moving units about is much less of a hassle if their movement isn't slowed down as much. If I recall, even Quan riding all the way from Anphony and Azel walking from Heirhein both managed to contribute vs. Mackily and Agusty. Seriously. He's making progress, evidenced by his realisation that some people might not enjoy being invaded, but he still can't overcome his instincts. But it really is a running theme that Sigurd achieves what he set out to do... and then just keeps on a-conquerin' for no good reason. Happened in Verdane, happened in Agustria, and now it's happening in Silesse. Dew is just a very fast swimmer

You can trust on Fire Emblem fans to always have the worst possible opinions. But seriously, that's wild. I found ch.2 to be the best map thus far, with ch.3 falling behind because of the Orgahil sequence. Ch.2's back-and-forth movement might look bad on paper, but with all the castles connected by roads, it really isn't, and I very much enjoyed how there was stuff happening all over the map. The only bad parts, as far as I'm concerned were Raquesis's body guards (specifically that they prioritise attacking enemies in their range over keeping close to her) and the Mackily ballistae on a cliff. Meanwhile, ch.4 is just a big nothingburger thus far. Move people east. Move/warp them back west. Presumably, move them next across the bridge (and a few mountain tiles, it seems, to make the movement extra annoying). Holy shit, I didn't even consider this. The southern path towards Thove is literally all mountain, what the hell. I think it's because the old beardmen (or the one old beardman with a Rewarp staff. I think I might prefer that headcanon) are providing some background in mythology, which obviously has to be done by an old wise man. And there are no old wise women because women tend to die young, while serving as pegasus knights. That arrow weakness is brutal. Thracia's 99 hit cap might come as a relief, compared to the effective 70-80ish hit cap against enemy barons. Very merciful of you that you don't have to sacrifice Joshua to recruit Ismaire in The Sacred Rubens. (wait, Joshua was playable as normal, right? Now that I'm typing this, I'm suddenly not sure, since I don't remember using him at all) Honestly, I get why they're there. It's more annoying here because they didn't vanish right the next turn after seizing Thove, but I can understand that they're a (somewhat brute-force) way to prevent the player from sequence-skipping with Erin. It's just a cost of having big, multi-seize map.

To be honest, the argument that you don't get your money's worth for the three Fates titles never had a leg to stand on, as far as quantity goes. Quality always has room to argue, of course. But if you compare Fates gameplay to the GBA games (plus PoR, arguably), Fates 1-3 seem at least as distinct from one another, even though they're all identical in their fundamental game mechanics. Birthright is overall the most simple game, Conquest has the most tight map design (also in the sense that it's more punishing if the player makes mistakes), Revelation maps tends to be more gimmicky. Obligatory disclaimer that this is just my observation from watching LPs. FE6-9 do have their little differences in their mechanics (SacSto's branched promotions and world map; PoR's much improved support growth system), but I would say that the biggest differences in "game-feel" come from their different difficulty and map/enemy design, not from the ability to promote Joshua into an Assassin. And as far as the story goes... I'm saying this as somebody who really dislikes most aspects of Fates's story (and the very concept of the golden Rev route), but despite the main villains being the same, the three routes still have very different structures. Certainly not a "Hector vs Eliwood mode" situation, where the same story is told just from a different point of view. And with CQ and BR mostly having their own casts of playable characters, you can't really complain about the overlap in supports, either. Not sure how the situation with Rev is in that regard, but I think it has at the very least a ton of romantic supports between Hoshidans and Nohrians? Again, not commenting on the quality, but I wouldn't be surprised if these alone would be larger in volume than the supports of any given GBA game (+PoR).

FE4 Chapter 4: Dance in the Skies Sailane --> Thove A couple scenes with the Black Fang, too. Brendan and Sonia sending the brothers after Eliwood is an example, unless I misremember. But I also don't think BinBla has any instances of this, so (outside of non-FE Kaga), BlaBla should be the first. Welp, RIP Lck in Genealogy. Weird that the devs still found the stat to be too powerful in and after DSFE. I guess the crit negation nerf in Fates makes sense because, if I recall, you also get this from pair-up? Just to make sure that you can't get out of crit risks too easily.

Further proof that BinBla is the Fire Emblem's peak. Even its apparent faults are for our own good.

Claude's entire trip to Grannvale is very "Tell, not Show". He tells Sigurd during Ch.3 that he will now return to Grannvale, but he (or Taillte) never leave the team. It makes sense for the gameplay (the two of them have the least amount of playtime already, alongside Bridget), and with there being a year of time between Ch.3 and 4, it's not a plot hole, either, but I think it would've flowed better if Reptor and Langbalt's assault on Sigurd in Agustria would've cancelled Claude's trip. Well, Lewyn and Erin have an instant-lovemaking-just-add-water conversation later this chapter, so I'd say it had already been Kaga's favoured pairing during Genealogy's development. For a blind playthough, I don't think Sylvia/Lewyn's head start is all that big, either. Yes, they spawn together as an isolated duo in Ch.2, but it's in the nature of a Dancer that she allows the people she refreshes to then leave her behind. Poetic, really. Silvia will still be a bit ahead of Erin when the latter joins, since it only takes 5 turns of non-adjacency for her to catch up, but likely not by too much. About the convo - that is possible, actually. Looking through the gen 1 chapters, there's never a blue unit that can initiate a conversation with more than one other blue unit. They might be able to be talked to by multiple characters (Sigurd in the prologue, for example), or have a blue-on-blue talk plus a talk to a differently-coloured character (Sigurd recruiting Ayra and Raquesis), but never a second blue-on-blue talk, not even one that is gated by a seized castle. It's not just the name - what Sigurd and his group know about the two Sigyns lines up nicely, too. Deirdre's mum? Fled the village, then returned 18-19 years ago (*) while pregnant, without telling anybody anything about what happened. Arvis's mum? After her affair with Kurth was made public "some twenty years ago" (**), she fled Grannvale never to be seen again. I think I can still maintain that if Sigurd, at any point, had remembered both these stories at the same time, it should at the very least have given him some pause. (*) Old village in Ch.1 says that Sigyn's daughter would be 17-18 years old at this point. (**) Quote from Filat when he visits Sigurd in Ch.2 In most games, it at least has crit mitigation, so that a character with abysmal Lck at least has this constant threat of low% crits looming above their head. At least Genealogy's +1 avo is generally more valuable than the +.5 hit / +.5 avo that I think Lck usually provides. Dangit, I wanted to make that joke when I read about Rahna's maternal vibes. Well, Sigurd only took three soldiers with him, so there should be plenty left I would imagine that Chalphy only has a minimal garrison left - same as Jungby and I assume the other duchies. The prologue unfolds as it does because everybody is blindsided by Verdane's raid and Jungby didn't have adequade defenses to stop it. Azel even says that Sigurd's effort to drive back Verdane is the last line of defense that Grannvale has, because the Isaach war is demanding all its attention, although he of course has ulterior motives (namely, he wants to go on an adventure with that hunk Lex). Actually, I like that one, contrary to what I said earlier in this post. Maybe even have Claude disappear if you talk to him with Sigurd - if the two are meeting up, the road is clear all the way to Grannvale, so he could even leave Taillte behind because she wants to zap some evildoers, and it's not like Claude needs the extra five turns between Sigurd talking to him and Sigurd seizing Orgahil to gain XP. Sending Claude to Belhalla would be a nice way of giving Arvis a little bit of screentime, too, by showing their interactions. I think I complained already that Arvis's role in the story is almost entirely developed in absentia, so one could add this (and maybe subtract Reptor revealing him as a villain to the audience) to present Arvis as a harsh and severe, but reasonable character, who agrees to relay Claude's revelations to the king who, how very unfortunate, currently isn't in a state to receive visitors because he's still in shock about the very unfortunate passing of his son, you see.

(Non-recruitable) Enemies have zero Lck Of course, I technically can't tell if that is true for arena opponents (other than Holyn), too, but Serenesforest explicitly says that it is the case. Now, I can't quite trust the numbers on that page, since I have found a few mistakes already, but because it's true for enemies on the field, and because I don't think I've seen an arena opponent (other than Holyn) with an odd avoid stat, I think it's pretty safe to assume that Serenes is correct about this. Nobody cares about bachelors. ...that's basically it. They're victims of my eugenics program, and specifically of my insistence on giving Patty, Fee, and Ced magical dads. It would be feasible (although most likely 100% headcanon) that Rahna herself is the Duchess of Sailane. It's likely that the king of Silesse would've married a noblewoman, so why not a duchess? "Thank you for letting us slaughter your enemies and plunder their riches" - Finn Well, the enemies of House Chalphy are also busy fighting a war in Isaach. And after Kurth's death, Reptor and Langbalt have an excuse to go kill Byron and Sigurd as a permanent solution, instead of occupying Chalphy's lands. But unless stated otherwise, it would seem likely that during the year that Sigurd spent in Silesse, either of the evil dukes would take it over. They control the king, so they would have the means to do so. Oo, and you don't even get a replacement in gen 2 if you don't grab it here. That does seem rather important.

Lewyn's excuse is rather thin, too. He ran away because his uncles would start a civil war about the succession... but why would the two of them not start a fight between each other, if both of them are willing to do so to grab the throne from Lewyn? So now there's still two pretenders, both of the with shaky legitimacy, and the third one who actually has a claim to the throne is awol. Good job, Lewyn. You didn't solve any problems, you just dumped them onto your mum. (the apostrophe is shift+"#" on the German keyboard layout. I'm only surprised that I don't make that typo more often)
