Can we get real...

[Lythrilux]

Regardless of what anyone says in this thread, I think we can all agree that Gallia conquering Bretonia and Bretonia becoming a Gallic vassal forced to fight Liberty would have been a much better ending to the war. Not only would it be - probably for the first time in Discovery history - something different other than the status quo, but it'd really shake up the Sirian political landscape. Spawning from this you could have a Bretonian Resistance Movement, perhaps spawned from one of the Bretonian unlawful groups that are in dire need of development and evolution(seriously, that's the biggest crime of 'Devtonia' imo, that the unlawful factions in Bretonia did not benefit from it at all). This armed resistance could wage war with Gallia and the Vassalised Bretonian Armed Forces across Bretonia the and Omegas (maybe Taus?). Gallia could use its influence to coax Rheinland into dealing with the Resistance, sparking off a conflict in the Omegas. The Resistance could choose to band up with the Corsairs, or perhaps the Hessians. Maybe the Resistance could be presented as a desperate group, and go after Aland and Gran Canaria, although that would undermine their image as a heroic group.

Honestly, I can't help but feel that some of the story progression and ideas Gallia got post-war (defections, mutiny, enclave, confederacy etc) could have actually been better if it was applied to Bretonia.

Really there's just a lot of good but sadly missed opportunities here that could have made a great storyline. Wanting a retcon is a pipedream I guess, and I suppose we have to just "deal with it". But truth be told this string of events has nullified any interest I could have had in Bretonia from a roleplay perspective because it's just so ridiculous.
