A Damage control! Damage control! I'm curious if he will remain mad just at us mentioning them or see straight through what we are doing, or let the subject drop. I don't know if we can satisfy him at all, I was concerned when we went out for our trip as to what we were going to do when we got back. Hopefully, his mannerisms don't mean he has already made up his mind and thinks we were being a manipulative idiot to go adventuring.

I really doubt the mob managed to track two stealth experts with a century's wilderness experience hundreds of miles out into the middle of nowhere without us noticing. Seeing us leaving the inner city with a loot katamari is very different from successfully looting the loot.

ABasscop posted:Just gonna go ahead and say that it's really loving weird that Tudyia is so pissed off at hearing about this. I'm with you, but my read is that he's concerned because he's hearing about us dealing with obvious inhuman creatures that tampered with our brains. He's frowning now because he doesn't like what he's hearing - we encountered strange magic inhuman creatures who plagued us with illusions, then sat down and had a nice chat with them. He's worried that we've been hosed around with, or are otherwise showing terrible judgment, and asking for permission to trade with them would be the final nail in the coffin. Maybe I didn't take the 'try to convince him to trade' bit of the previous vote seriously enough; what I wanted to do, and would like to do now as a write-in really, is just to give him all the facts about Ninhursag and let him make his informed decision. The vote for A now is basically that - I don't know if the blue-stone thing is the best way to spin it. We could just say 'Anyway, that's what happened, I thought you'd want to know, what would you like to do about it?' But A's good enough I guess.

Theglavwen posted:A Yeah, I feel like we should be saying 'it was very, very weird, they wanted stuff from us, but the deal they offered is super suspect and I would appreciate your vast wisdom and guidance, o my father.' And look, as has been pointed out, we're never going to actually trade with these guys, it's a decades-long effort. What they did do is tell us that uranium => x => bluestone, and that's a massive deal. We won as soon as they told us that, let's not gently caress ourselves over for no reason now. Voting A and maybe tone down some of the enkidel-obviously-lying-to-his-dad thing.

That's my take too. If blue stuff can be made that might be just as useful to us in the kind of time scale (post Tudiya) that we could really trade with them anyway. I'm also not stoked about being drawn into a weird subservient relationship with a bunch of secretive aliens regardless. A

A Every time we go on a big adventure we, as players, lose perspective on what the people back in Zepath and Kavodel are like. We get used to just doing what we want, and then we get reactions from people that we don't expect when we get home. This time let's just take it easy.

B The obviously bad choice won, so let the ramifications of that obviously bad choice play out. I get and understand the justification for having a "Are you reeeeeeeally sure you want to do this?" vote given how close it was, but as has come up quite often in the past - if you ask the voters, "Do you want to smash yourself in the dick with a hammer? Y/N", they're going to vote N. The people voted for dick smashing, we're 5+ years into this whole thing, so by El dispense with the warnings and give 'em the smashy smashy.

Basscop posted:Wasnt there a significant write in to do A without advocating for trade? Just telling him the info and not advocating for actual trade is slightly less bad IMO, but still pretty unreasonable of voters to expect that Tudiya would in any way shape or form want to hear anything about the cursed city of Badad and what we found there. "Hey pops so we ventured to this cursed city of the damned which is famously isolationist and there was a big ol' sign out front that read," Diogines posted:"Do not traveler further. "And you know me I never met a sign saying to go away that I didn't barrel past so we ventured in and wouldn't you know it, even more of that ancient history and tradition you hold dear to your heart turns out to have been a big ol' lie and there's some bizarre dudes there that clearly aren't Badad's descendants. Just thought you should know!" There was just zero indication that on any front that he would have been happy to hear about this. If anything was told to him (still something I feel like is a bad idea), we should have just told him some form of, "Badad appears to not be as it seems, and has been taken over by foul demons. I took no further action and we left, but I thought you should know." And even then Super Orthodox Daddy would probably have still gotten a bit bent out of shape that we ignored a sign telling us not to go there, and that more lies are piling up against the House of Baitel.

Yeah my write in was ‘just tell him what we saw, ask him if he has any insight on it, and accept whatever he tells us’ I didn’t think too much about how he would take just straight knowledge of what we saw. Or that he might consider trekking through the flats a violation of his decree to not seek glory. I suppose we can try to convince him that everywhere we stopped had something either incredibly wrong with it (cults, etc) or was helpful so why not? If he came back with ‘that was very foolish. you should heed warnings of such dire circumstances in the future. you two will not speak of this and will not pursue it further. leave the rocks with me and I will dispose of them properly. i have no records of what this city is but it should be left alone as they wish.’ and then Uriah smacks us upside the head and says ‘told you dipshit’ I would have been fine with that. At best we spend a massive amount of our free time before the jubilee digging rocks instead of building walls or whatever. We show up, a bankers pneumatic tube spits out a sword, and the people’s republic tells us ‘thanks now kindly gently caress off’ before they nuke Baitel.

1. A I honestly don't think trading was ever a real possibility - they want too much and don't like us, they're not likely to offer us a fair deal, and most of the stuff we're giving AND receiving are things that we have no idea of the relative value of. It's all valuable, somehow, and trading away bluestones is a big no-go given how every faction we know of wants the hell out of them, including our own by two different metrics. We tell Tudiya they wanted to trade and told us about possibly-valuable rocks, including how to identify some poison ones that we can tell Zepathans to stay away from. We came out ahead (in that we gained valuable knowledge) and he'll know that trading is an option if he doesn't think it's a terrible plan without us telling him.
