Minor text change to 'Christie Consolidation' plaques

[srmalloy]

As a nod to the way things seem to be done more and more often, I would like to suggest that the text at the bottom of the 'Christie Consolidation' plaques in Kallisti Wharf be changed from 'Paid for by Emil Christie' to "Paid for by a grant  from the Emil Christie Foundation", so that Emil can distance himself from the installation of the plaques and lessen any suggestion of self-aggrandizement.

Fair point, and I'm not against per se, but I do like the current text. Because it does read like self-aggrandizement. He is making sure everyone knows his name rather than trying to be indirect about it through an organization. Kind of like those "I am <insert candidate name> and I support this message", except as "I am Emil Christie, and now you know". From what little I know of him, this would seem to fit the character.

 

If the plaques get changed though? Oh well. They got changed.

That's one of the reasons I suggested it; it's an obviously transparent move on his part that carries all the same context while being ostensibly divorced from him directly, a more subtle move than some of the machinations Countess Crey orchestrates with CreyCorp. But it's a stylistic thing that could be justified either way, depending on what the HC staff has plans for in the future connected with him.

And that is why I like it so much. Because Countess Crey is inept at hiding her activities but she is presented as a great dissembler. As opposed to Emil Christie who in my opinion is portrayed as significantly less capable of subtlety. Just my two cents as it were.
