Ah, Helios, I noticed you don't give Player advice when it comes to picking a planet!
Is it a problem I don't give the peon advice? I'll give it if I'm asked.
Well as a knowledge god, I think it would be perfectly acceptable to just cut to the point and inform Player about every planet. I think it would earn you more praise.
Do you think I care about praise?
Yes! All people care about praise, but it is not polite to say we do.
Look, I don't think I should be telling the peon info unless it is asked for.
Nonsense, Helios! Informing people in advance about the info you believe might be helpful to them is not an issue. If it is, they would ask you to stop. You are wise beyond comparison, Helios. You should share your wisdom!
But, Fortuna might punish me if I tell which rolls go to which planet.
No need to divulge that information, Helios. Just say what you personally recommend.
Hmmmm. You might be right on this. I should-
Wait, are you using your cheering powers on me?
No. I do not use them on v1s without informing them beforehand what I plan on doing. Manipulating the emotions of other v1s without making them aware of my plans is not how I wish to operate, even in situations where there could be a benefit for all parties. I am just using my words to give you a confidence boost!
I don't need a confidence boost.
Apologizes for assuming, Helios. Would you still consider giving Player info on this round of planets?
Well, I guess you are right, I would be assisting if I just told the peon about my recommendations automatically. So fine. I'll do it.
Much obliged, Professor.
