 Senator Ignore the siren song of gold, the flute MUST be played. Like a melody being sung behind a locked door you can hear it's tune but can't make out the words. Is it a song or a scream? I crave answers, it cant be a coincidence that we find this after seeing the truth. A sign. A command. I cant make out the WORDS.

Quackles posted:I mean, it's not a guess, but that's otherwise accurate. Its fine that you think that there should be more information out on the table, but you are deciding that for everyone with these posts. Especially since you yourself are admitting that you aren't even guessing, but just revealing 'hidden' information. I also really like how you edited my post in your reply to exclude the part where I specifically asked you to stop. I know we covered this earlier, and there is nothing in the rules about revealing all the information about hidden agendas one has, but c'mon! They are literally called 'hidden agendas'. If you want to reveal your houses hidden agenda every time, that's you own choice to make. But telling other houses information when you have perfect knowledge and aren't making guesses is over the line.

The following post is not necessarily representative of the opinions of the management of House Cyfoeth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBSFHN8zcow e: as for the above, I see it as a counterbalance to being in the lead; you lack the power to keep your agenda hidden. Deal with it. Sighence fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Mar 3, 2021 |

That's fine, so to clarify we can just share 5th pick's agenda to the rest of the Houses every time we pick 4th then? I suspect we'll be picking 4th next reign given Cyfoeth's insistence on making sure Gambol gets whatever it wants at all times. Bellmaker fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Mar 3, 2021 |

To be fair, nothing is preventing lying about it. We were third to pick this reign and we have a decent idea on who has what before Daucus report, by now everyone's preferred agenda is fairly clear. Lastly, it's opportunist. With how we've been playing as a group if it's in the pool it'll go to last pick for a while. E: although if Gambol were to be 4th pick we'd probably not declare what last pick got. There's value in hidden information.

Reign of King Cleon I, Dilemma 3, Resolution A clarification on Conditional Votes: it is ok to express your vote with a condition, as long as it's something related to pulic knowledge (IE: it's ok to say "if the deal we have proposed is accepted, vote X, otherwise vote Y". It is not ok to say "if another House votes X, we vote Y", since the vote is secret until the update is released). Vote Results posted:

Senator I really cannot believe how willing House Gambol was to subject our nation to this threat. Although it ended up being unnecessary in the end, we are grateful for House Pinchay's support. Anyways, this calls for celebration, beverages, and a concert that doesn't cause existential depression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0vFid2tKbI Bellmaker fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Mar 3, 2021 |

Sitting Councilmember Since it seems pretty clear that our soldiers are going to be consuming of this beverage whether or not we're the ones purchasing it it does make sense that the flow of imported alcohols should go through the guild, for quality control purposes first but also so we can stop soldiers wages, and consequently the wages of the crown, from flowing past our borders into another country. Besides, what could liven up a good feast like some exotic imported alcohols to really turn a dinnerparty into a dinnerparty?

This offer is available only to the first house who accepts, but the offer is open to all houses.

Sitting councilmember Eh, spending the treasury on importing beverages which will only serve to distract the populace from serving the Mother doesn't seem too appealing to me. I know we usually stand alone in caring for the well-being of the common folk (for example, not tormenting them with depression toots for "science"), but this does not seem to be the correct way. Blessed be the Mother.

Treasurer Overindulging in drink is a sin, of course, and we've had some reports of soldiers who sampled this beverage becoming quite unruly, but Myhir and Lyria encourage us to celebrate and enjoy ourselves in moderation. I'm not sure which option would be best here. We spent almost all of our power last round, anyway.

Senator I am not a teetotaler. In fact, many Olwyn lands are devoted to vineyards. But I do have my concerns... Perhaps you have heard the old, heretical myths of The Oracles. Women who supposedly saw visions of the future. Nowadays our modern medicine here in Olwyn has come to the conclusion that these women were basically just drugged out of their minds in order to have these so called visions. Mixing herbs into milk and that causing an affect on the body is very different than our scientific understanding of fermented drink. I worry about the medical affects of us allowing this into our lands. Also, let's be honest, the fact that our border guards are getting poo poo pissed from this drink is also a massive concern for me. I genuinely support Nay with all my heart.

[ooc]notices the Influence marker is last YET AGAIN[/ooc] As our treasurer noted, Myhir and Lyria encourage us to celebrate and enjoy ourselves in moderation. Surely all of us have underestimated how strong our first drink was back in the day? I'm sure our younger soldiers will consider this a learning experience. And as a second point, now granted I'm not the best at science, but alcohol tends to prevent illness. Especially versus drinking plain water/milk, which could end up tainted in a variety of ways. I think you are overreacting a bit here by jumping to the conclusion it's inherently more harmful than other drinks. But if you DO feel that strongly about it, you have the solution in your hands. It's the same one as the one House Lethe used the last time we faced a dilemma that kept us up at night! Bellmaker fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Mar 4, 2021 |

That is my concern actually. The reports say "Fermented Milk with Herbs." Now, I have contacted the questionably reliable scholar known as Google to see if fermented milk drinks were a thing. Apparently Kumis is a thing. So maybe my fears were slightly exaggerated, but... I'm still feeling my concerns are valid.

High Scholar My fellow Councilmembers, I do understand the points you have made here. A celebration would be nice for having avoided the perils of the doom horn though I'd have much rather celebrated the knowledge of its effects. Of course, some indulgence would hardly have a ruinous effect. However, I have a worry that this new drink would lead to more than "some" indulgence. It comes from outside of our kingdom, and is made with a secret herb, and it could have long term effects on our people that it does not have on the Skarams. We would need to study it deeply before approving of its import. However, as I said, celebration is still in order. To aid our fellow houses in preparing a celebration that does not require the import of the Skaram Milk, House Daucus will offer 4 coins in exchange for at least 2 Power towards Nay, to the first House to accept it. Furthermore, to keep the party going, House Dauce will offer 3 coins in exchange for at least 2 Power towards Nay, for the second House to accept it. These hot offers won't last, and the offer that's hotter than Cyfoeth's will be gone first, so act now!

Senator The monocled noble does indeed wander in. "I heard someone mention my name! And that our folders aren't what they used to be, and they would be right! Look at these folders, so flimsy." He stacks a few folders together and then pours a drink on them. "See, they just fall apart, back in my day when King Harold was in charge, the drinks back then couldn't put a stain on the folders. And that is why we need more battling rams."

Sitting Councilmember My Lords seem to forget, it seems clear that regardless of our decision made here the soldiers will continue to purchase this exotic drink, we are deciding whether we'll improve the morale of the people by providing them a safe and official source for this drink instead, or by refusing see the coffers drain due to lack of trade and the fact our soldiers are still going to be buying booze but now money is leaving the kingdom. If we're worried about the safety and nature of the Skaramish drink then surely it would benefit to have the only regular source be one that the Guild controls, and can subsequently be restricted, instead of sources coming over the border at the hands of any foreign trader. The Skaramish drink isn't going to disappear it is simply up to us whether we'll use or squander the opportunity it presents.
