The question is simple "What role would you play in any dynasty?"
... How many of you consider yourself a real leader of men and women or a strategist of great achievement or a combination of both or a Warrior, or a Warrior Strategist or a Warrior Leader? ... I think I got it all of the key cool roles. ... You can also add who is ya "role mode"l based on your choice. :g: ... One more thing, I did not want to add "Court Historian". I thought it was non role in a Chinese Art of War forum. :blink: ... I pick Strategist, cause I can plan, organize and manage better than I can fight. ... Beside I do not need to fight, I can hire people to do the wet work. ... :lol: :haha: And if I ever have to fight. ... Give me my Liang Jieming's brand of crossbow and let me sit from the tower and fire away. ;)

I have always been fairly good a seeing things before they happend, wether in Soccer or politics, and is knowlegable enough about most areas to know when i have to ask for help and for what. so i chose strategic leader, i'm not adversed to fighting so i wont be too scared of fighting close up and personal, but arrows would really bug me! B)
My motto would be 'Truth will out, but no truth is absolute'.
We all should look for the truth, no matter how painful or obnoxious it might be. but we always have to keep in mind that any truth we find will be coloured by both our self as well as those that createt it. an absolute truth is always impossible to reach since we as species by nature is falible. the greatest danger is when we convinces our self that the truth we know is the only truth that counts.

Worth remembering that truth is not the same as law of reality. IE the law of gravity no matter how it is describet is always as law that counts, likewise all other natural laws, it is only our incomplete grasp of them that can make them seem inconsistent or untruthfull.

40K - where the genocidal, xenocidal, fascist, ultraconservative zealots with a morbid fear of technology and an unhealthy fondness for burning things... are the good guys.

None, I seriously doubt that any one here will qualify as a small local ruler, much less a strategian. Most people will end up as a peasant, or a at best (or worst) a conscript.

I believe I was trying to be humorous.

Although if I could do it with a country like Haiti, that would be amazing.
