Summary

The theme of this week's Preliminary Guide is "The Big Stick." We've got two factions who can pack a big punch, but don't always have the point acquisition to make a successful game. Neither are "bad" factions, but there are tricks to both, and it can be hard to navigate their toolsets to find a victory. The best part of all: we don't talk about blue tech very much! So come listen just for that! Rasmus' Muaat Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ltvKIXpCXY5qTXZ4rxCWHIfFQNvGzNdO6L2cZPA6siI/edit?usp=sharing Music provided by Ben Prunty.

0:11.5	Episode 224.
0:13.8	Music by Ben Prunty, featuring Matt Martins and Hunter Donaldson. You know what we've really dropped the ball on?
0:44.2	Ooh, I love when we drop balls.
0:46.0	We've been dropping the ball on these preliminary guides having any inclusion of, like, faction lore at all.
0:51.9	I feel like I've just forgotten to ever even read these things.
0:54.5	Oh my God, come on, Matt. They got two more episodes. I'm like really into it now.
0:58.7	Almost back to back. Like the lore community is taking over this show and they're winning me over.
1:06.7	Okay. Well, yeah, that's the thing is they're winning you over. So now they actually have a champion. The lore, listen up, lore heads. Love you, Absal. Listen up, lore heads. The lore is stupid. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm not kidding. It is stupid. That's why we make up our goofy, you know, Irish lettnev version of it. Okay. No, it's not stupid. Well, it is stupid. It's not stupid when you're talking about it community. Right. But when I'm reading it by myself, I, you are, you, here's, here's my, here's my point.
1:47.1	Here's my refined point.
1:48.6	Community, when you are talking about lore, you make it interesting.
1:52.0	Yeah.
1:52.3	When I am reading the lore off the backs, I'm thinking about like, Christian T. Peterson is a nut.
1:58.6	That's what I'm thinking.
1:59.9	I'm just thinking this nutty guy is just kind of
2:04.3	roll in here. And he needed someone to like raise their hand and be like, all right, what about
2:08.5	this idea? He's just like, he's just like, no. And then the next thing that happened, the Twilight
2:13.1	Wars began. So here's what I think, though, because what he's developed is a pretty good setting
2:18.8	for a thing where everybody can be a hero and a villain right that's like the thing that works
2:24.4	about TI is like they're all kind of bad they're all kind of good they're all just whatever
2:27.3	they're all in the middle I you know what I'm going to push back I think that's the fundamental
