Fanon:Time Paradox: Difference between revisions

With the celebrities effectively playing the role of commissars, celebrities often urged soldiers to go forward towards unconquerable positions, or hold on to an indefensible positions. Needless to say, casualties mounted against the well-equipped Aigyptian troops, many with the experience gained form Thoth Offensive. While the central 2 regiments, one led by Lord Plutonium and Demetria, other led by Baron Uranium and Antigone, held largely intact, the army's morale sunk at subsequent needless defeats inflicted by celebrities' desires of becoming leaders of victorious armies (and thus becoming even more of a star). The central regiments also withered hard attacks, one of them including mercenaries supplied by Silver Lilies' own ranks. As the situation grew less favorable, the expeditionary forces grew weary, as did the public absolutely appalled by the strings of tactical defeats. The Council of Bridgeport's celebrities were celebrated as heroes for leading the troops even in times of defeat, minimizing their role in the crushing defeats, although those who had more reliable sources, mostly those of the intelligentsia and a new wave of politically active students, protested the incompetence of the Council of Bridgeport, although the pro-SimNationian moderates complimentedpraised Antigone and Demetria, whiletaking denouncingnote of their surprising competence as secondary commanders. However, to those who were aware of the restCouncil's involvement in the debacle, not even the most hardcore fans of individual celebrities could defend the celebrities' roles in causing needless failures: the expedition force was considered by all means far superior to what the Aigyptian rebels could muster, and victory seemed assured.
