I am King Edward. I am 69 years old and dying. I have had three children: oldest Son 1, middle Daughter 1, and the youngest Son 2.
I had always hoped Son 1 would inherit; he unfortunately predeceased me whilst fighting those bastards in SE++, but his virile seed left a child son (Son's Son). My daughter is single and educated and ambitious. My second son didn't really think about becoming king at first - but now he's sure he'd make a better one than a child, at any rate.
You are my obsequious yet ambitious dukes, and already my issue are currying for your favor (and your armies and your food). The succession law is very cloudy on this issue, what with all the historical foreign interventions and odd internal compromises in the name of necessity.
Who do you choose to support?

clearly the second son so i can call the followers the second sons and finally give life to the erotic asoiaf narrative i've been heedlessly weaving since the 2000s

So my team submitted a paper for peer review about two weeks ago. I just got an email asking me to peer review another paper that came. I probably will if I have time. I have to look at my schedule.
But the best part. They keep calling me Dr. Mazzyx. Well my last name. It straight up says MA in the line we sent but I guess I got an honorary degree in something. Got the PhD with none of the work. :rotate:
I don't know how this analysis is currently regarded by historians, but
From 1180 to 1190, Central Mongolia experienced an intense drought that probably contributed to the political instability of that time. Established patterns of leadership were disrupted, and the region saw continuous warfare. “The worsening dry conditions…would have been an important contributing factor in the collapse of the established order and emergence of a centralized leadership under [Genghis] Khan,” the researchers write.
In 1211, Central Mongolia then entered its most unusual period in the millennium-long record: a 15-year stretch that was warm and, more importantly, incredibly wet. Those conditions would have provided a surplus of grass for both the horses for the Mongol army—each trooper would bring three to five horses so that he always had a fresh ride—and the livestock that followed the army to keep the warriors fed.
Without an increase in productivity, the pastoralism practiced in this region of the world would not have provided enough surplus resources for such efforts. All the resources available would have had to be devoted to keeping people alive, as they largely are now. Genghis Khan may have been a great leader, but without the warm, wet years to give the region a boost, he wouldn’t have had the resources for building a strong government and large army. The world may have been a very different place.

Are you doing the chronological thing where you splice in chapters of DoD? Cuz that's about the only way I could get through the joyless slog that is Feast.

I have to correct people a lot that I am not a doctor in something with my job since I am a senior researcher and one of the main faces of the research side of the program.
Best was I got marked as the author for like a month of one of the big survey reports that isn't even my office. I was just in the acknowledgements as I helped write some survey questions but the program that marks authorship grabbed that instead of the authors.

I chose the who will never actually get it because I'm a contrarian by nature
But son's son was right there.
Yeah that little shit was always told it would fall to him... he's a dick. He's gonna get so many of his followers brained.
Second son was always told he'd never have to deal with it. He's much more laid back. He's barely in this succession. Sisters gonna kill that little shit of a nephew for the crown, she don't fuck around. Second son just wants to make sure him and his friends get to keep being rich and having few if any real responsibilities. His bid is less about success and more about maintaining position and defending from various assassinations.
The biggest problem with amazon getting shitty is the huge amount of start up capital you would need to create a competing online service. You'd really have to take an existing chain that is dead or broken and switch it to online only.
Chu how disappointing will the final two books be, do you think? Incredibly disappointing or just like oh well that's wasn't great but at least he actually finished?

How likely am I to court your daughter?
If either of those seem out of reach, than go with the kid so you can play king and enrich yourself while he's a baby.
