**1. This never should have gotten this far. Counterpoint isn’t ready for this kind of revolution - you don’t have anyone to revolt against! If you actually win tonight, then you’re stuck running a city, and while the Theses are a fascinating agenda for debate, they aren’t close to a governing document. It’s obvious what needs to happen - [[MacDaniel]] needs to go. You seem to be the only one who has a clear vision for what Counterpoint ought to be - you’ve already talked [[A Stein]] around to your way of thinking. Do what you have to do to replace MacDaniel as your Faction leader.  2. Its crucial that this not get out until you’re ready - but your intelligence networks tell you that a team of Assamites from the Mountain were dispatched six months ago to infiltrate and destroy your Court. Well, you’ve never been more vulnerable, and if there’s a team of assassins waiting to burn you to the ground, they’ll be sure to arrive tonight. Make sure not to act too soon though - if they’ve had time to prepare, they’ll move quickly against anyone preparing resistance.  3. Don’t spend so much time worried about the Court that you leave yourself exposed. If things get too bad, you don’t know that you’ll make it out of here alive. Find yourself a good bodyguard, and do what it takes to make sure they stay loyal to you. Start with the Low Table.**
