    You mentioned something being wrong with my assessment on archers, so I'll go ahead and enlighten every one to the fact that I am an Archer IRL and have been for almost 10 years.

    Now it only takes one shot to kill some one if well aimed, in humans it is The Neck (A hard to hit sweet spot and near instant death), The Chest (Takes about 10-15s to die) The Spleen and Liver (Not instantly fatal but will kill via blood loss in an around one Hour) and the Arm pit and Groin (Both of which are difficult and circumstantial "Lucky Shots" that will cause fatal blood loss in about 5-10 minutes).

    So then there are plenty of ways to disable and or maim with arrows like when they shot Tancred's knee. One archer wouldn't be able to kill us all but we saw at least 4 aiming for Thancred and any medieval style standing army will have a Dedicated Archer regiment. (The God's Quiver in Gridania being a specialized Archer Corp.) So they had enough archers to do the job. Even if they had one archer per scion they could have taken us down easily. It's the 12th Century equivalent of bringing a knife (or sword in this case) to a gun fight. And even if the PC was a Bard or Archer, that's 1 vs an Army. Still not good odds since they would have been surrounded and over run by ground troops while targeting other archers.

    Most of our problems with your posts have been your unwillingness to acknowledge any flaw in your arguments and your unnecessary inclusion of real world politics and propaganda (Which is what I had a personal problem with since I'm from the USA my self and what you were saying about us is as far from the truth as mole men in antarctica) so if you're willing to be civil and adult like we'll happily acknowledge you again. But until then this will be even my last acknowledgement to any of your posts.

    I'm sorry, but that's how it is. Good day and Good Luck.
    Kid. This is not reality... don't start to argue with it. It would be dumb. I know a lot about real weapons far above arrows. But this is worthless here. In reality no one can destroy a stone pillar with one hit. You can't summon ray bombs. Or heal people with a simple touch.

    It's desperate what you are trying to do here. Don't try to make me feel embarrassed for you. Just think before you write, okay?

    However, your information on archery was quite enlightening. Thanks for the read. (However, by "Growing" did you mean groin?)
    We got this situation now because we did not solve it. We now got the problem, that Uldah is in danger to become a Garlean exklave with Lolo at power. If we had done something to stop this coup, then no. But of course it is not real and Square can simply decide what happens. They could also just put Lolo in a dress and make him dance with the cat girls, never caring about this at all. But if this would be real, the chance that Uldah now just allies with the greater power of the empire - would be major. Also the danger of a civil war is now the greatest. With a Lolo alive, not dead. Civil wars are pretty standard in coherence with change of power. Of course, like the thing with Lolo who suddenly wants to dance instead of rule, Square can switch this on and off as they like.

    why we ran chance of doing anything but will result in a civil war in Ul Dah leaving Eorzea weakened.
    Seems more like you want to kill someone. No one ever said, that the writers are terrible or something. It's about some minor points which don't make sense and could be improved or solved in the future. Just because you and some others are ignoring them does not make them go away. As said often enough: Critic helps people to advance. No one is perfect. Of course the critic has to be valid.
