In the real world people send off letters filled with personal problems and information to strangers thinking for some reason these strangers will have a better idea what they should do.  So it's only logical that in the 40k universe people would write in to their omnipotent and omniscient leader for advice.  Sitting on his Solid Gold Chair all day the Space Emporer probably has a lot of time to answer these letters.

This is a simple game, the person before you will post an advice column-type question.  Then post a reply in the voice of the Space Emporer and leave a question for the next poster.

Dear the Space Emporer

My wife and I have a long-standing solid relationship and we've nver been unfaithful but recently a co-worker has been coming on to me.  I like her a lot and we have a lot in common, next month we're both going out of town for a business trip.  My wife will never know.  Should I go for it? - Anxious in Alpha Centari

What is this secrecy you speak of?  Do you truely plan to hide this from your wife, you should shout if from the rooftops!  You should drag her in to see your conquest, glory in it, exhault in it, are you not a man!?

Dear the Space Emperor,

Why can't we give peace a chance? - Felix


The reasons are manifold. First, eternal war is good for the economy; people work to make bullets, people use those bullets, people need more bullets. It also gives a widely disparate empire a common goal to strive for.

Second, talking is the same as surrender. A real man doesn't talk, he acts. Like this one time me and Rogal Dorn were having a sleepover, and in the middle of the night, there was no talking. I just acted. Dear Space Penthouse...

Third, the day I have a sit-down with a pansy elf, magic mushroom, or commie frog is the day I put a bolt shell in my head.

Fourth, why are you even asking this? The Truth Squad must be slipping.

You of all my mindless minions should know the truth of what happened and it's that the Warmaster Whorus turned his back on his dear sweet space sugar daddy and cheated on me with not one, but all four of the ruinous powers, the dirty disloyal slut. It has come to my attention that you know something of this. So we will do to you as we did to Whorus those many years ago and give you enduring agony with death by ooga booga while banishing your legions to the Red Eye of Terror.

Dear Mighty Space Emporer,
What is the dark secret of the robe wearing Adeptus Astartes, the Dark Angels? And are they related to Jessica Alba?

Funny you should ask.  Obviously it's not the dresses, since we all know about that.  Or the feathers, or the midgets or half the chapter going over to chaos, or the naked water polo, since we know about those too.  None of those are the dark secret.

This one time I asked old Lion-O what was up with that secret and he was all 'I have it locked in a vault' and I was all like 'can I see' and he was all 'later' but then he went and got killed by Lex Luthor and now we'l never know.

I think he's got Alba locked up in there.

Dear Mote in Teh Eye,

While we understand that giving our valued customers a place to smear with their feces whilst they dribble uncontrollably is important to you, please realize that bandwidth isn't cheap, and we can use that money to further provide...no, I can't lie.  We are all getting our desk chairs upholstered with mink with the money we are saving by getting rid of your cat-befouled sand box.  There are already many forums that provide the service that we did.  A few are listed here:

www.warseer.com This is spiritual sucessor of the now defunct Portent forum, i.e., its British. In a good way.  A good source of information with a few GW insiders.  One caveat: The first rule of Hofflenosh, is that you do not talk about Hofflenosh.

www.bolterandchainsword.com With design that looks like it started life as an angelfire site, or a white supremacist board, Bolter & Chainsword is all about the Marines.  If you ever want to feel like the only Marine in Fallujah, start a topic that inpugns the Adeptus Astartes in any way.  Current topics include whether the Space Marines have sexual organs, and how old they are when they start training.  Take from that what you will...

www.dakkadakka.com Good old DakkaDakka.  Currently in a fourth or fifth renaissance, DakkaDakka is thought of as one of the best for rules and tactics.  This is often interpreted as being a haven for powergamers, and while this is true at times, you can usually pick a nugget of gold out of the dross.  It is lacking a bit in the rumor department and all round feel compared to the 'good old days', it's still worth a look.

In closing, we appreciate your continued support and hope to be able to provide you with some of the best and most playtested rules in the industry.

Sincerely,

That were those schoolboys I usually beat up with my brothers. I brought mankind the technology of the BMW. And they bow down and recognized my glory. Of course turks have special psychic powers. We use them to force our women walking behind us and carry our bags. That is the reason why there are no female Primarchs they would walk instantly behind me an carry my bags. I won't have conquered the whole universe with them. And we all know women can't drive properly a BMW.
Turks have also the mighty power to build a snack bar by the power of their will. And their mighty psychic enable them to fight with the mighty kebab swords. That is why my kebab sword is always on fire it fries the meat while cutting. The last power is kinda like the hive mind. You can call instantly your brothers if someone looks at you in a way you don't like or just looks at you. Those are the basic psychic powers of a trukish man.

My son Jimmy was always a "sensitive" and "efeminite" boy with "flamboyant" tastes if you know what I mean.  He always wanted to be a hair dresser or a theatrical lighting director or decorator.  however lately he's been seeing the Space Marine Strong ads on the vid and says he wants to join the USMC (Ultramar Space Marine Corps).  While I admire his Space Patriotism I worry that he won't fit in with the typical marine and may find himself isolated if he joins.  should I let him?

Anxious in Andromeda

 Dear Anxious

I wouldn't worry about your son, he sounds like a perfect candidate for the Corps.  You see, the USMC is different from the USMC of the past.  Whereas a Marine from 10,000 years ago may have been able to successfully defeat an enemy, the Marines of today will be able to take a more objective view, to weigh all the options before commiting to a embarassing stalemate, and by that time he probably is being carried out as a casualty.  But fear not!  Our medical staff are experienced in cybernetics so your meat popsicle will be shipped back to the front in no time.  Tis better to be shattered in body, than to admit that we messed up.

And he could totally buy a Hyundai with that bonus money.

In closing, we look forward to hearing from your child.  We assure you, he will be in good hands.

Dear General McSpaceEmperor

I support our troops in the war on chaos so I'm very upset to learn that many brave guardsmen are going into battle with substandard equipment.  I hear that many troops are equiped with flak armor and las guns, equipment that dates back to 30,000 AD.  Now that equipment offers no protection from today's AP5 weapons and can barely penetrate 3+ armor.  What can we do to ensure our troops get the equipment they need to accomplish their mission?  I put a magnet on my SUV but I'm not sure that's enough.

Dear Soccer Mom,

I have been informed by Avram Boole, Fabricator General of the Adeptus Mechanicus that a multitude of cost analysis studies have been done in conjunction with the office of Departmento Munitorum head Valkrys Feld on the Guard Strong initiative that will eventually implement many improvements for the warfighter of the 41st millenium, including sturdier footwear, delousing powder that actually works, and bolt shell proof Uplifting Primers. 

We expect to begin implentation of these improvements in the next fiscal year.  Until then, know that our brave guardsmen are shielded by your token gesture, and will continue to die in droves for the greater glory of the Imperium.  Your Imperium.
