Shoot the Moon Wrote:That's still pretty similar to regorrarr trying to use people's concern over athlete becoming powerful to get metal, right?
Playing both sides is what Sullla was trying to do with Dantski and Jowy telling both factions that they would be settling towards the other and then telling both factions that he would consider attacking the other or whatever. The other example was the Byzantines trying to bargain with the Ottomans to let them live by offering to sell out Spullla despite being nice to Spullla.
Kathlete is playing people off against each other by exploiting what people's concerns to deflect attention away from themselves and onto Spullla. So was rego but it requires people to have a existing concern. It doesn't work when your target doesn't care about what you're trying to do.
