 Sitting Councilmember So the map drawing for the Nay option does look like a map of Ankhist (simplified), so that does suggest further knowledge with magnets and stuff. But for Aye, its still curious. If we're assuming the 'rocks with arrows' are indeed representative of magnets, we could be looking at anything from magnetic alloys, maybe a liquid that itself is magnetic. Or if we're going to stretch the meaning of the initial arrow rocks to be simply attraction, could the chalice option be some kind of love potion? Despite it being pretty far from the Nay option (or what we think the Nay option is), that seems both plausible considering the weird stuff we've encountered so far.

Quite possible although I'd assume that red iron would likely be kept within the various Enhkali storylines since those seem to be the only ones to mention the Red Iron. The assumption of some sort of potion was taking the idea to the furthest possible stretch I could think of, I'd assume whatever the outcome is would be a bit closer to reality of what a skilled chemist/inventor could do more than someone who dabbles in magics. (ooc:although it's clear that chemistry works a little different in this world from our own, so who knows what's possible?)

Sitting councilmember Point of order, Celestina is not the church but an heretic, even when she was still posing as a sister the church was wary of her and it was the church, through House Lethe, that moved to stop her when she tried to swindle king Blythe II in performing the octomaw ritual. House Gambol will need some time to think about the implication of this choice.

Foreman I'm going to say Nay as well, but for a different reason. Though I understand the importance of supporting our religious institutions, our nation uses the tax income for public works and infrastructure, which is also of value to the people. I realize that this resolution leaves the decision in the hands of each individual citizen, which I approve of, but it's still too much of a blow to the bottom line.

High Scholar Lethe passed and gathered power, while Daucus voted Nay on the last dilemma, so I think you need to switch it to us who gained the +2 extra coins. Insofar as the current dilemma goes, it does not seem terribly prudent to allow the Kingdom's coffers to be siphoned in this manner.

Foreman I think, just to be sure, House Pinchay will place two offers on the table, and these are open to any house except Cyfoeth, since you guys will be passing anyway. A) 4 Coins to place 2 Power on Nay. B) 2 Coins to Pass. Looking back, it's actually been a decent amount of time since House Pinchay put forward any deals. Possibly why we don't have our signatures on much of anything. That's going to need to change if we want to stay competitive in this game.

Treasurer As much as it would seem this is merely taking money away from the treasury, the council seems to forget all the good the Cult does for the people of Ankist - most of all the poor common folk who are often forgotten by those of higher birth. Especially given this council's proclivity for spending it's funds on dubious projects in the search for "knowledge". Adding to that the recent attacks on the cult, both from without and from heretics trying to infiltrate it for its own corrupt ends, we feel that there are strong reasons indeed that this measure should pass. To that end, we offer 20 coins for 5 power on aye for the first taker. Blessed be the Mother.

Sighence posted:Two houses have agreed to pass, the third has no power, and the fourth has also offered deals to go nay and has more power than you. If the latest Daucus report is truthful, Daucus has extremist or opportunist, with the other one discarded. I'm leaning more towards opportunist Daucus, but we'll know later on. Quoting for attention: does the +1 to the open knowledge agenda work only for House Cyfoeth or for everyone? (until that story card gets covered ofc) (little sidenote but isn't the second AZ dose supposed to be worse than the first one? Talk about even less side effects than the extremely mild reaction from three months ago.)

Foreman For what it's worth, House Lethe, the offers are open to you as well. House Pinchay is determined to perform a Nay vote, so it'd be to your profit to Pass and gather more power.

Senator While we'll indeed also be passing due to the house's current power amount, the true fun would be the reign ending with another all-pass. If it'd make the literary parity that much more appreciable, I can definitely say that were it come to a moderation, House Cyfoeth would pretty certainly mod to Nay.
