Leader of Counterpoint ** 1. Look, this bid for Prince is just as much a show of legitimacy for Counterpoint, you don't have the political backing to go all the way to the top. What you do have is the ability to sway the election in one direction. Figure out which candidate is willing to throw their weight behind Counterpoint's Thesis and throw your weight behind them. Be prepared to compromise (you can get away with dropping maybe half of the current [[Conventions/PAX Unplugged/PAX 2022/I Killed the Prince/Counterpoint/Theses]]), but remember to always get a binding deal. 2. Counterpoint badly needs to grow if its going to remain relevant. Nouveau Riche has all the right ideas and philosophy, but they've got too much power to be invested in changing the system. See if you can identify younger or dissatisfied members who can be persuaded that more immediate action is necessary and possible. 3. [[His Highness the Prince]] might have been an aristocrat, but he had all the right ideas, even if he had to occasionally bow to the demands of Elders. You know he was more on your side than any other faction in the city, and one of those bastards knew it too. It doesn't matter who wielded the knife, it was an Elder who signed his death warrant. Find that bastard and drag him into the sun. **
