Good call checking the tablet. I agree the trail as depicted in gold wends southwest, and does not button-hook like the Aye path shows. Do the scholars of Daucus recommend we skip the Mushy Pea(t) Bog and head Nay-wards towards Mount Scorpion?

I stand by my judgement that the ruler who saw the knowledge and welfare of the people reach near the top of our metrics should be considered Generous. We could got with Queen Hypatia the Populist instead.

 Honestly makes sense, she was so busy ensuring her people didn't starve she got blindsided by the palace intrigue. Please don't mention we're the ones that betrayed our* own queen. *We're not following that rule but technically the rulebook states that the House that comes in first place at the end of a reign gets to marry and install one of their own as next king/queen and that's why they get to name them. My suggestion for Blythe the second still stands, but I also support other repeated names.

Do the scholars of Daucus recommend we skip the Mushy Pea(t) Bog and head Nay-wards towards Mount Scorpion?  Foreman House Pinchay is also in favor of a Nayward expansion, based on an interpretation of the Golden Map's curvature. As for why someone scribbled a scorpion on there, my best guess is boredom and a lot of free time. And for our dearly departed monarch, I have never been very skillful in coming up with names or titles, so I leave that in more capable hands.

Senator Yeah, I'm sorry about the whole Scorpion thing. The first draft of the map was from an archeology student who was just doing cartography for "easy credits" and... Well, the first draft had something much less mature than a scorpion.

Interregnum While Queen Hypatia I's reign has been the briefest in recent memory - just short of 10 years - it doesn't mean it was uneventful. Not only has Ankist broke the decades long silence with their neighbour to the North, Enkhal; but Hypatia's reing will be also remembered for the appearence of the so-called "Ashers" among the poorest people in the Kingdom. Hypatia's legacy is that of a ruler that put bread in everyone's mouth, be it regular or gray. And not everyone is happy with these developments.  King Cleon I seems to have a commanding lead, may his name bring glory to  You have 24h to vote for the map Dilemma and to submit your tiered Hidden Agenda preferences!

Sitting Councilmember This is not a difficult dilemma, have him send a female colleague to find what he needs instead. I see no reason to bend the rules for one man. If he has no female colleagues, well, then he's a failure of a historian anyways and this is a message from The Great Mother that he should work on that. Blessed be The Mother.

Treasurer We can't help with power but House Gambol can still support an AYE motion through other means if needed. E: in other words, Houses Cyfoeth or Pinchay, do you want some more cold hard cash in your coffers? Omobono fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Feb 27, 2021 |

Treasurer Are you up for some asymmetrical matching when discussing matters with the other houses? You have the power, we put in more coins. 2(us) to 1(you) matching sounds good? Maybe to a cap of 3? Only if we pay people for an AYE vote of course, gotta be careful of the fine print.

High Scholar To make sure I understand, the idea is that you will pay some amount of coins (2x) in exchange for us to spend a certain amount of power (x)? So with your cap the options are 2/4/6 coins for 1/2/3 power being spent?

No, I meant when paying other houses for an AYE vote we both pitch in some gold, us more because we can't help you with power. It would allow for more enticing deals. No offense but you've got the knowledge agenda, we aren't paying Daucus for a positive knowledge vote. E: example, if we strike a deal with Pinchay of 2 gold for 1 power on aye you also give Pinchay 1 gold. E2: and the fine print is mostly to avoid sneaky poo poo from us, while all bargains should be made in good faith if I spot some edge case I think closing it off from the start is just good manners.

Treasurer That all sounds way to complicated, lets make things simple. House Lethe will give 4 coins to any house that commits to putting at least 2 power to a NAY vote. Additionally, because Gambol is right about one thing, fine print is important: If any house takes the above deal, House Lethe will commit to putting at least 1 power to a NAY vote as well. This offer null and void if no one takes the above deal.

Also, an interesting thought to House G: What if, instead of teaming up to trade off majority signing bonuses (your 'coins' idea), we tried to collude to make it so that we both jointly siezed the majority signing bonus on each storyline we run into? All we'd need to do is have 2-2 on each story card. House Daucus can predict when story cards are arriving, and you're good at making deals and the like. We could still use the coins to coordinate, and also spend on dilemmas involving abdication, deciding who would arrange to push signing on a dilemma, etc.

And the give-and-take being built into the system would make it not sting s'much to not have this agreement. "Gambol, you're getting all the bull signatures!" Well, yes, but we've been spending Power to give away bikini signatures, so it all balances out Haven't heard from Pinchay or Cyfoeth on notions of signature swaps - or Lethe, though I doubt you'd consider any system that committed you to Dilemmas.

Senator I think for me personally, it's better to respect the ancient traditions. As Bellmaker said: Bellmaker posted:
There should be no issues with finding someone to investigate this ancient site that isn't him, and if it's him or nothing...well, that's just rather stupid. It is my opinion that House Pinchay should take House Lethe's deal on a Nay vote for this issue.
