I think most everyone understands this less consciously, but realize that you're also paying us to not gain a substantial amount of power, on top of helping out the cause du jour. In that frame of reference were back down to, if not well below, the rough 1:1 cost per power our borderline seditiously so-called "kings ransom" is due.

OOC: Well, with some genuine odds that the game is going to end next round, I just wanted to extend a general GG to the houses on behalf of House Daucus. This game is a tense game, competitive, and with lots of accusations being thrown around about who wants what. We all have gotten a bit catty and paranoid. In the end, may the house who played the field best win the battle, and let us keep pushing to make Ankist the best it can be!... Whatever that best may be, of course...

House Cyfoeth, Dukes of Coden That was fun. Watch me forget to carry a two somewhere and doom our House to obscurity. To my team: I paid attention your comments even if I end up flying mostly solo when negotiations heated up. Do you want to split the duties of Treasures/Councilman next time around? PS. House Daucus, my hat to you if you end up being Rebels, I have Lethe locked in for that. I think you're Moderates, FWIW.

Actually, there's probably some good taglines for all the houses. House Gambol "What's In It For Me" House Cyfoeth "We're Pretty Chill, Actually" House Daucus "It Wasn't Our Fault" House Pinchay "Feelin' Crabby" House Lethe "Oscar the Grouch Approved"

Reign of King Harald V, Dilemma 5, ResolutionVote Results posted:
Vote Outcome posted:
The end of King Harald V's kingdom. Now it's time to talk a bit about the scoring system - the very basics are simple:
Houses - Final scores posted:Hidden Agendas New King's reign - Setup posted:First thing first, we're going to set the Chronicle Aging - this means that each Chronicle Sticker gets a checkmark ticked on its left side. This is a way to keep track of how long each sticker has been around - after the 3rd sticker has been placed on the same row, the new one will overwrite the oldest sticker (the one with the most checkmarks; the leftmost, in case of a tie). Hidden Agendas & Picking Order posted:
Current House Roles posted:
The current Sitting Councilmember for each House has 48h to submit their tiered preference for Hidden Agendas through PM/Email, putting all six in a scale from Tier 1 (want most) to Tier 6 (want least). You will be assigned the first available Agenda available according to the picking order. NOTE: one Agenda is removed at random before the first House picks. We also need to vote for the Name of the next King! Everyone is invited to submit their name of choice itt, the most popular will become the next That Italian Guy fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jan 19, 2021 |

While Harald VI seems like an excellent name for continuity purposes, potentially we should look to diversify the dynastic naming pool a bit. Particularly since His Majesty Harald V abdicated in lieu of dying of old age. I'm a fan of the more classical names, I propose King Constantius Aontas to be the name of our newly upraised monarch.

Results show House Daucus getting three prestige and 1 crave. What is the crave from? The results due to King abdication don't show any crave being awarded to 1st place.

It is most fitting if we stick with Italian names for the kings, isn't it? I nominate King Marco, of Polo.

Can I, an outside observer, submit the name Blythe for the new king? Blythe meaning, "cheerful", when the previous king was forced to abdicate through "the morale of the nation became too good." (Which caused stability to go too high) But also because it is a homophone for "Blithe" and there was a definite "oops" quality to that last vote.

Everyone is welcome to submit a name Also, just in case it wasn't clear, Signup is still open - and will remain open for the rest of the game - but it's limited to the 5 Houses already selected (with Gambol, Cyfoeth and Lethe having preference cause they currently are 1 senator down compared to the other 2).

Good round, all! I had hoped we would be sticking with a little bit longer, but let's move boldly ahead and see what secrets the game has in store. House Pinchay - as the two Least Checkboxed families, I suggest we forward one anothers' interests, whenever possible. Obviously not enforceable, just an expression of mutual goodwill; what say you?

Hey there! I'm waiting to get some feedback on BGG (hopefully we'll get some devs to chime in) on the whole "sharing (someone else's) Hidden Agenda in public" (especially the last Agenda left in a 5 Houses game). For now, I'd ask you all please not to do so for the time being...right now it's in the "Air Bud" realm of rules - there is nothing explicitly against it in the rules, this is a bargain heavy game and technically this would be most effective vs the leading House(s)...but I'm not 100% if this is intended. Of course if the majority of people itt are for it, we don't really care what the answer from BGG is, so please let me know what you think about this! EDIT: just o be clear speculation about Agendas is perfectly fine! I'm talking more about the "we picked 4th, and there is only 1 agenda left for the 5th House" kind of deal That Italian Guy fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Yeah this is my fault. I'm all for it on account of it being one of, if not the only, pieces of info unequally shared.

Now that we're between games and talking about hidden info, could I suggest to keep information about power and coins open? Traceable but hidden information is my boardgame pet peeve, and in a forum format is pretty easy to track.

I think Seat 4 outing Seat 5 opens them up to be outed by Seat 3, and all the way up. So it's a move you can perform, but it's Mutually Assured Secrecy Destruction... probably rarely in anyones' best interests to push that red button.Fat Samurai posted:Now that we're between games and talking about hidden info, could I suggest to keep information about power and coins open?

Concur; it's not as though having a player tabulate it is more valuable than it being in the OP updates. Non-secret secrets.

Acting Foreman A mutually beneficial alliance would be appreciated. I look forward to working with you. I am also in favor of keeping Power and Coins in the open. It's something that benefits everyone in terms of decision making, while not giving away how and where it will be spent.

I'm in favor of having available Coins/Power be listed in the OP dilemma posts. Since the game is mostly about the wheeling and dealing part of negotiations, knowing what each house has on the table to begin with would help with that.

OK, first off, before I say anything else: House Daucus "Told You So" Second: Wow, there were some interesting whiffs in my tracking chart (I should note that I was trying to be as accurate as possible). I'll have to do better. Third: I still don't understand, even with House Lethe being Opportunists, why they voted Nay. Fourth: I'm in favor of listing Power and Coins outright. I made a math error last round in the draft version of my status report (before it was published) and it screwed up House Daucus's bargaining strategy for about the first ten hours. Fifth: I do like King Blythe. Sixth: House Cyfoeth, you mentioned wanting to collaborate on sharing secret agenda Quackles fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Also, Seventh: I'd really encourage other houses to favor being prosocial when it looks like an important story decision is coming up, regardless of their victory objectives. That's a good chunk of why I/we favored Aye on that decision - there was plenty of time for us to get an abdication later. [glares at House Lethe]
