Failed Assassinations — History Hijinks

If videogames have taught me anything, it's that an assassin can solve a lot of problems. But sometimes plans fall apart, and sometimes it's for the absolute DUMBEST reasons. SOURCES & Further Reading: "A History of Venice" by Norwich, "Rebellion" by Ackroyd, "The Poison King" by Mayor" This video was edited by Sophia Ricciardi AKA "Indigo". https://www.sophiakricci.com/ Our content is intended for teenage audiences and up.

Any luck on having more, longer, and better stories? Cursed algorithm. EDIT: That's not shade by the way; I love these videos.

I'd vote for a few longer, more in-depth; that permits more exploration of those events (which lends better if a teacher's focusing on one event included). And if the topic -- like assassinations -- will be explored in multiple videos, it means that many more videos :-D

Definitely prefer a few longer stories, just so we're treated to full breadth of these idiots' idiocy :D

I would like longer stories, with the details.

I lost it at the “Ah yes, Mr. John Johnson. He must have a respectable career of doing job at place.” 11/10, would totally meme again. Well done, Blue, well done!

Hey, Blue, This was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed finally learning more about Mithridates, than a poem i read, back in the 1970s. I loved playing Venice in Civ 5, and can't wait for their return. As for length of videos, I hope you can stay flexible. "Brevity is the soul of wit," but compared to just about any other source, in any medium, you're always brief. The Journey to the West series struck me as long, but I loved every minute, and I have the cloth bag (Love it.). Some subjects are shorter than others. Sorry I can't go one way or another on this. I think you'll do fine. Try to make everything as short as you can, while still telling the story you think needs telling. You and Red have really good judgment about what to include. I never find myself thinking "Why didn't they include __?"
