 We're conferring with our High Scholar now. Consider us at least interested. However, we may require compensation of some sort if it does turn out to be a Wealth or Knowledge sticker and you sign it again.

Treasurer ...we've performed some calculations, and we don't think the current circumstances are worth it. Sorry. Aye-aligned folks: can we maybe chip in? Only if we don't sign, though.

House Pinchay: Would you be willing to majorly vote Nay? House Cyfoeth: Would you be willing to Pass? House Gambol: If Aye happens anyway, would you be willing to sell signing rights (assuming not a Wealth or Knowledge positive sticker)?

 Passing is not in our interest here. We will be supporting the abdication of the Failed Queen.

 Acting Foreman I think in this case, propping up the queen's regime would have to have coins attached, since we'd be eating a negative agenda. Otherwise, we'll just be going Aye as well. It feels like it'd be easier to just scrap this reign and start over rather than trying to salvage what we've got.

The problem is that we've run the agenda numbers and predictions. In the current state of the realm, forcing an abdication is middling for us, at best (something I'm sure you're aware, if your Agenda is what I suspect it to be.) Ah, screw it. Let's do this! Mostly Accurate Senate Status Report brought to you by House Daucus Man, it's been a while, hasn't it? And with the Kingdom on the brink of crisis. Let's see if we can avert it, and why. Hidden Agenda Prediction  House Lethe is far removed from their passing and gathering power days. Now, they're trying to keep the realm stable-ish. Agenda: Extremist Explanation: House Lethe has synergy with Extremist - they'll fulfill an agenda achievement if they get it - and it's unlikely they picked Moderate as their second choice. House Daucus has run the numbers on the end of the reign, and decided it's not worth it. Agenda: Not Opportunist House Pinchay is being royally paid to maybe save our rears, for a bit. Agenda: Greedy Explanation: I still think House Pinchay favors Greedy as an agenda - and they're accepting our deal here instead of saying 'to heck with it' as an Opportunist house would right now.  House Gambol is taking a leaf out of our book. Again. We did it first, G! Agenda: Opportunist Explanation: Why do you think they want the reign to end now? They're not Rebels by their own admission, so this is the perfect scoring position for them. House Cyfoeth is making hay while the sun shines. Agenda: Opulent Explanation: House C got stuck with pot luck again, but this time there's a twist to all of this: as Opulent, they are now the lowest-scoring House. So they'd get the Prestige when the reign ended. No thanks, House C.

Acting Foreman Yeah, I think at this point, it's probably just a race to see who can get the sticker. Getting a -4 Knowledge and a -3 Wealth basically sealed the queen's doom. Sorry, but House Cyfoeth's argument is making a lot of sense here. I'll see you all in the next generation.

I don't think your AYE vote is necessary for the outcome? If you need it for something else go ahead though. If you get moderator we would give you a non-wealth/non-knowledge sticker if you break a tie in our favor. Although, your offer has some merits: In case we don't need a tie-breaker, we're selling the right to sign a non-wealth non-knowledge sticker for 4 coins. Payment only if this sticker gets delivered of course. (If we need a moderator tiebreaker, we're going to need the sticker as part of the negotiations)

If tiebreaking is not required, we will pay House Gambol 4 Coins for the sticker, also as aforesaid. can be overruled by the high scholar as per usual but I think it won't be

I'm a little bummed that Pinchay missed out on it, but we did burn Daucus at the last minute so I guess it's just. Queen Hypatia the Censor seems appropriate. In her short reign, she suppressed two separate works, albeit for ideological reasons. Also she funded an expedition, but that doesn't fit as well.

So, I was talking with Quakles on Discord about how playing this game IRL is, and this reminded me that the other day I've managed to find the promo cards from the extra scenario that Horrible Guild is using to playtest the game at various conventions (I've played this in Essen a couple of years ago). If I had to explain what this game is about with a couple of pics, these would probably be quite exhaustive. Exibit 1  I won this vote and, as Duke Jesper "The Moderate", I've decided to allow the proliferation of an heretical cult in Ankist. Exibit 2  Hey, I won the next vote too! Duke Jesper

Interregnum The Reign of the second Queen named Hypatia was shortlived, but not uneventful. The historians will remember her for the decision to melt down the ancient secrets inscribed in the Golden Temple and for financing a massive expedition across the sea to discover the living remains of the Salaan Union. Everyone else will remember Bad Queen Hypatia as a ruler that made absolutely everyone in the Ankist unhappy.  Hypatia II's motto is "It's my first day". There is some indecision about the new Ruler's name!
