Yeah, I'm guessing that if we'd chosen the Marquises of Tiryll or Crann, we'd be looking at some serious backstabbery. From the backstories alone, those territories seem like they'd be down with making folks miserable all the time.  Senator Honestly, the major point of contention is not whether to vote Aye or Nay, but how much power to play for it. If everyone wants to be the signer, that means that we could be looking at a situation where multiple houses end up losing big for no reason. What I'm saying is that it's possible to agree too hard. Might be worth considering whether it's worth fighting for this.

 Bizarro Ankist senator If everyone passes the moderator decides and becomes leader. Of course, the opportunist could take the indecision to strike, but I think I was the only one pushing for a Nay? Considering the good faith rule, assume Gambol is either Aye or passing unless Jossar comes out and says otherwise, as he's the sitting councilmember. All other houses expressed unanimous preference for the Aye, right? No holdouts saying nothing.

As someone who's recently taken an interest in the sorts of mindgames in games similar to Werewolf (namely from a visual novel death game operating on those sorts of rules)... it seems I've found something that scratches that itch rather specifically. I'd be willing to sign up, though for now whether or not I'll have the time for one of the more attentive positions is up in the air. Preferences are House Gambol, House Daucus, and House Cyfoeth.

House Cyfoeth, Dukes of Coden Senator Personally, I don't care much about all this theological nonsense, I don't think this is going to influence the common man of the Kingdom a bit. I'm more of a practical man. Of course, if some other House is really sure a particular decision is better for the Kingdom, I'm willing to be "persuaded". I guess the ones interested would be House Lethe, Daucus and Gambol. OOC: "accidentaly gave birth to a cursed black eclipse". This must be the Old Testament Mother.

Senator I believe that ultimately, it should be the decision of House Lethe whether we pry into secrets concerning The Mother. It may end up being compromising to her reputation, and I don't know if our fellow countrymen are willing to take the risk of uncovering this knowledge. Sometimes it's better to have an idealized memory of someone than to know the truth.

Sitting Councilmember We at House Lethe of course oppose this heretical knowledge being allowed to spread. It would be best if it dies out in the desert where it belongs. However we know that not all of our fellow houses are as well acquainted with The Mother as we are, and may not recognize this for the obvious falsehood it is. To that end, we would be willing to offer a modest sum to those who wish join us on this most righteous cause.

House Cyfoeth accepts the offer from House Gambol.

Sitting Council Member Aye is clearly the right choice. We did not work this hard and come this far to not learn something fascinating about the Sand Priestess offshoot of the Cult of the Mother, and perhaps something of pre-Ankist history. Blastinus posted:
House Lethe is pious, brother, but they do not own the Cult of the Mother. It is the state religion, and all of us follow its precepts to greater or lesser extents. Truth is all. Nea is correct to bring Councilmember Booty onside, and I hope that Daucus would help persuade Pinchay to a similar sensibility. quote:misc. crowing about stability This was not sufficiently concerning during the reign of Harald; why should it direct our actions in the reign of Blythe? If this insight leads to a golden age of prosperity and Blythe retires a young man, who is harmed?

Treasurer Nay, of course! There can be no doubt there are only heretical lies to be found here, ideas threatening the stability of Ankist! After all, if any of the stories were true, they would be mentioned in the holy scriptures, would they not? And they are not, ergo they are heretical falsehoods! Even a child could follow this simple logic. With this in mind: Proposal We offer any house 1 coin for a public commitment of 1 power on Nay or 4 coins for 3+ power on Nay. A very fair price to be on the right side of history, and not suffering the people's wrath as apostates, wouldn't you say? Blessed be the Mother.

(edit: updated proposal) Proposal: House Daucus will pay House Pinchay 5 Coins for 3+ Power on an Aye vote, or 3 Coins for 2 Power on Aye. Additionally, if House Pinchay takes this deal, House Daucus shall vote Aye with at least as much Power as House Pinchay has agreed to within the terms of this deal. The fine print: If House Pinchay votes Aye 2, House Daucus will vote Aye 2+. If House Pinchay votes Aye 3 or more, House Daucus will vote Aye 3 or more, but may spend more or less power than House Pinchay's vote.
