Why did people pick Sirius over Antal? I assume it's purely because of brand recognition from being involved in recent galnet stuff with coalsack and marlinists and there being very little stuff involving Utopia even if you go back.

Could they have chosen another faction to put up against Sirius that would've resulted in a more even fight despite the mechanics of the CG being so boring?

I think so, LYR is the non Powerplay players friend and that probably makes him more attractive to work for (even though there is no connection sometimes).

Hmm yeah - an additional Galnet between Sirius / Pranav coming up with their ideas and the CGs starting would have sufficed for those following the story.

But do you think it would have changed a Sirius supporter to get behind Pranav (or vice versa)? And anyone else would care even less, IMHO. Unless Sirius said, with a wink, of course I plan to kill them all. And Pranav promised assimilation. I can't think of anything they could have said that would make me care either way (but then again I don't follow the lore closely).

Thats true, but it would have at least bedded the 'visions' of the outcome better even if it never wins dies hards over.

Just having the speeches saying (for a quick example) one favours bringing the galaxy together via commerce, while the other via technology would set them apart, so later on you know what will influence the talks. So if the talks went ahead and worked, a galactic bonus could be made from it.

Its why you need to have a lore reason to start with them, or that as the CG goes on the loser might alter the deal some more to draw people back. As it stands a relatively unknown Tier one was pitted against Father Christmas and lost.

Yes. So in the Liz Ryder CG, the Empire should have seen they were losing and then offered more credits, lower tiers, engineered toys etc...
Then, when/If the Imps start pulling back, maybe the Feds send in some mercs Crimea-style and their tiers shorten.
You'd just have to be a bit careful, but they've shown CGs can be changed mid-week, so I don't see why not.

FD really need to see CGs as partially reactive to input and not simply 7 days and stop- would Patty have lost so hard if evidence appeared halfway proving Liz was guilty? Sometimes you have to make rank hypocrisy obvious to make moral hazards apparent- ED is supposed to have no real good people, it would be excellent to make people realise the gray path they lead.

Black-and-Gray Morality - TV Tropes

Often in fictional media, the protagonist/antagonist conflict takes the form of the shining knight who smells of flowers and has holy light shining from his every orifice versus the very fount of all evil who Eats Babies as a hobby and Kicks Dogs …

Too Bleak, Stopped Caring - TV Tropes

It is often said that "conflict is the soul of drama." Without some form of conflict to fuel things there's no engine to drive the story and thus little reason to become invested in it. However, we here at TV Tropes would like to propose an …

I feel I should know this... but do you actually make all these pictures? Or are you just a fine purveyor of the arts?

All the things I do are collages and overpainting from things I find on the internet. That wink is from a site that uses photos and face morphs (because its easy and fun to do). I have about six or seven gigs worth of ED art I've done over the years, and quite often I can cut parts out of them and combine them more. Recently I got into gifs because its fun seeing things move :D

For example this one is an old Ronald McKumo mixed with me satirizing fast food delivery company Just Eat in the UK by using my Kumo riff on Burger King and KFC together.

Or me doing an ED spin on memes- this one, DrakePosing becomes DentonPosing
