Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 12, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Which one should the plucky rebels assassinate first?

The one with the least guards (or the most predictable route). I mean, if you somehow arrived at the conclusion personal assassination is what you need to do to set back the Evil Empire, then it doesn't matter who of them loves kittens the most. You are not exacting personal judgement for the merits of their character, you are conducting a military action against the load-bearing components of the empire. As long as they are these components, their personal beliefs are of little relevance. Unless, of course, you can cause the same or more damage by other means - e.g. by inducing Bob to defect with an outrageous bribe or by converting Carol. But if that's not feasible, then see above.
