The High Lords of Terra: Powerful Enough To Kill The Emperor, Not Powerful Enough To Stay Regular

[@gnaskar]

The Chanceller of the Estate Imperium: The record keeper. It seems underwhelming, until you realize that general secretary of the soviet union was how Stalin rose to power. You've got 12 old men around a table, and one of them is in charge of remembering what they've already decided.

Rome had this period known as "the five good emperors" at some point, so i think the max of semi competent benevolent dictators they got had to have been 5.

[@Feasael]

Important to note that none of them were biologically related. They were all adoptive father and sons. Then Marcus Aurelius left it all to his biological son Commodus. The reason it stopped at five good emperors.

[@krisakrisa2007]

[@robinofmoxley]

Also important to remember that not one of them was actually benevolent. Rome was a vile empire. It's just been massaged by historians who were morally aligned with it. Never forget that they owned slaves and slaughtered innocents for their own gain. Not every civilization did that, and certainly not to that degree.

[@Mastercheap]

@@Feasael so, you tell me the solution to good dictatorship is adoption?

I've found that the small crimes like the ice cream in the back pocket don't tend to get enforced, except in two situations - the cop is either having a bad day or you've somehow managed to piss them off to the pint that they're going to charge you with *something* or it's being tact on a bunch of other, larger charges to make a point.

[@andrewrowell6080]

Correct, attitude is one of the most influential variables in an arrest/charge. Sadly many people fail to realize that being polite, humble and helpful can be a huge tactical advantage if you use it right. Ego gets in the way and situations that would have resulted in a “just don’t do that again, have a good day sir “ spiral into “ get out of the car and put your hands behind your back. Being nice and polite even when you don’t mean it can be the difference between living life in easy mode and having a terrible time.

I just want to add is that the reason the high lords went so apeshit about Guilliman coming back was because of the whole Lord Commander part. No one would have dared to change it when he was alive, and then when he died there was no reason to change it. And then he comes back. He comes back and after thousands of years of the high lords having unquestionable command there is this guy who is better than them in every way, and he has absolute unquestionable authority over everything because none of you thought he might ever come back from his Lenin cosplay.
