1. For each of the three objectives, what will happen to the galaxy if you win it?
If I win "who controls the August Solar Throne," there will be anarchy. My dudes want there to be a figurehead Emperor/ress who will abdicate all meaningful control. Specifically, while it would still be in play, The Compact would carry no weight anymore.
If we win control of Smoke, we will be the sole arbiters of the past and the future. We will be able to raid the history of tech before The Compact, and we will alter Smoke before passing it on to others so that their visions are polluted and users experience a modified history that meets our needs.
Ideally, my dudes want no one to have absolute moral authority. They want the idea of absolute moral authority to be destroyed utterly.
(PS: I like the way you wrote these, Vincent. It's not "I control," it's "who will control." That gives me wiggle room.)
Talk about setting stuff!
I feel like Smoke trances are hiiiiiiiiiiighly subjective and while they do provide very useful information, said information is highly susceptible to being interfered with by strong emotions on a subject.
(More as I think of it.)
