ah, Crusader Kings. I have CK2 in my Steam library but have yet to actually play it; I get most of my entertainment from the stories of others, like this one:

My spymaster tells me somebody is plotting to kill my wife!
My spymaster tells me somebody is plotting to kill my sister!
And my daughter!
And my son!
And my other son!
And my brother!

Holy shit I pissed somebody off, maybe I should stop killing popes.

Nope, turns out my family is just a bunch of assholes trying to kill each other and I can't just hang them all and start over because ThAt WoUlD bE tYrAnNy
