I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with satisfaction.

Left-to-right, top-to-bottom:

1. From the TNG episode “Darmok”, where Captain Picard has to learn how to communicate with an alien through shared danger.
2. From DS9, the decades-long Bajoran resistance to the brutal Cardassian occupation.
3. From the Voyager episode “Message in a Bottle”, where the holographic doctor has to go outside his comfort zone in order to recapture a federation starship from the Romulans.
4. From TNG, the friendship between human Geordi and the android Data.
5. From DS9, the friendship and subsequent romance between Odo and Kira
6. From Voyager, Janeway’s insistence that Borg drones are still people.

One cannot reign innocently: the insanity of doing so is evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper.

Or, put in modern terms: There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it’s OK if some players are better than others because we’re all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

It could certainly be used as evidence in your favor. Whether it by itself would be enough to exonerate you would depend on things like the evidence against you and how much weight the jury gave to your records.

These are known as souvenir plots. Generally, you aren’t buying the land, but rather you’re buying a contractual right to prevent the actual owner from developing the land.

Californian. No.
