Long Game 69: The Politics of the Passions


Zillah

Recommended Posts

Preparations for the upcoming Thaylen Succession Election have finally begun. You are the top advisers for one of the leading candidates, Yasdv Uynvn. Recent events have the group on edge, and they now suspect infiltrators are giving information to one of the other leading candidates, Tyedl Csuplidn. However with the election coming up fast, decisions must be made quickly, and not everyone will continue to operate within the confines of law.

The Passions have led the Thaylen people well over the years, guiding those in need to success. However they do not always work in the ways one would expect. Strive to excel in the ways most suited to you and oft shall the fates work in your favour.

I would like to join!

I keep feeling like I should like...pick a name, and roleplay...like some people do (or like other people pick a name and do nothing)
I mean, SE is under RP...

I will play, will edit in RP character later (and tag you so you know)

Now to read the rules... :P 

Edit: @Zillah, my RP character will be Tozkar, an Alethi man with a Thaylen name and a mysterious future. I hope he doesn't die, as he's featured as a POV in my SA Fanfic...

@Zillah :ph34r: 

So, after thinking it through, I realized I probably shouldn't use my darkeyed Alethi soldier character (who has a set storyline in my fanfic) as a Thaylen political advisor :P So if it's okay, I will change my RP character. Tozkar will hopefully be back for a more appropriate game.

I think I'll RP as.... hmm.... a cremling! Yeahhhhhh, a cremling.

Please change my RP character to Phil, a literal cremling. Thanks!

I'll sign up as Lknik (pronounced elkana'), a lowborn thaylen with higher aspirations than assistant. I support Yasdv as far as I believe they can support me in achieving my own office later on.

A few questions - 

When submitting an action during the day, am I requesting the action from a table or am I requesting a table from which I will be assigned an action? That is, am I choosing an action and I have a 20% chance of getting it, or am I submitting "I'd like something illegal please" and receiving an illegal ability?

If someone else gets an action, does that preclude me from obtaining the same action? e.g. We all choose the passion of research (or politicking if that is the way), is there a limit beyond the 10% chance on how many of us can receive the action?

If we choose the category instead of the passion, is there any downside to choosing politicking over safety?

Does the passion of narcotics target only illegal actions or all actions? 

Do the passions retain their likelihoods of being selected or do narcotics have an equal shot at achieving any action?

Will we be told what action we are given by the passion of narcotics?

Will we be told who we target with the passion of narcotics?

Will we be told we were targeted by the passion of narcotics? or will we be told we were targeted by whatever action narcotics put us on. sorry, put on us.

What happens if the passion of narcotics gives us the passion of narcotics?

As you can see, my main takeaway from the rules is doing drugs sounds like a lot of fun. B)

You are requesting a table from which you will be assigned an action, so in your GM PM you would say something along the lines of "I want an action from safety table"

No, what actions other player receive doesn't affect your chances of getting an action in any way, everyone is independant.

No, it's just up to your personal preference.

It targets all actions.

On 8/21/2020 at 9:30 AM, Elkanah said:

They will retain the same odds of being chosen.

On 8/21/2020 at 9:30 AM, Elkanah said:

Will we be told what action we are given by the passion of narcotics?

Will we be told who we target with the passion of narcotics?

Yes to both questions there.

 @Elkanah I am a little unsure of what you mean by "targeted by". If you are asking about what happens when you receive passion of narcotics, I would say in the GM PM "You have received the passion of narcotics, you use (Action) on (Player)" 

On 8/21/2020 at 9:30 AM, Elkanah said:

Well, then you get a crisp high five for getting some really great odds. Realistically, I would just redo the RNG for that.

I think he's asking that if I get passion of narcotics, and it targeted TJ with a roleblock, would TJ be told he was roleblocked by the passion of narcotics, or just roleblocked in general?

I do have my own question- If I get the passion of coercion and force someone to take an action from the 'Illegal Stuff' table, is the 20% of being caught in play there?

Yes, the 20% chance of being caught is still in play.

Yes this :)

@Zillah

Thank you for your answers, I'll see if I can come up with more questions for you.

You know what, I'll play. This may or may not be crazy. I'll do my best to stay at least semi-active. Edit: and should stay semi-active at the very least.

The ship sailed carefully up to the dock. As soon as the gangplank hit the docks, Tara Night crossed, causing quite a few groans. She had been underfoot all journey, hanging from the nets, asking questions, staring over the side of the ship. She rushes up to the palace, for she is not here only for leisure. As she approaches, she hears conversation. "Are you the advisors to Yasdv? I received correspondence requesting my presence for the election."
