Indigo Weasel Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) When news of Sadeas' accusation reached him, Ivory couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Whether true or not, this should occupy Nale for the rest of the evening, if not for several days afterwards. He didn't care much about humans and their politics. Some kinds of Spren enjoyed watching the maneuvering, but to him it seemed like it was just a massive waste of effort for everyone involved. Wits declaration surprised him. He hadn't expected the man to rally to anyone's defense in a situation like this. But then again, Wit had mentioned something about working together with some people on a personal project in a private conversation a while back, so he could very well just be interjecting because he knew the accusation was false. Quote In case anyone here is not reading the RP, or I'm being too cryptic: Wit mentioned he'd worked together with 2 people last night in a PM. He didn't mention who he'd worked with, or what they'd been trying to do, but this claim has some basis to it. Edit: a second person has verified that Adolin was part of that action, and that it wasn't a failed attempt to kill Sadeas. This is all I'm going to say on this matter, as it's a human affair.

Emerald Falcon Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Quote It appears everyone is misunderstanding what we are saying, so here it is. Adolin and his team carried out an action last night, and we have intelligence that they are planning to kill someone tonight as well.

Amethyst Scorpion Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) 19 hours ago, SE_Adolin_Kholin said: Adolin cast his eyes downward, attempting to look suitably chastened, but he could not prevent a wide grin from breaking out over his face as his father remonstrated him. “There you are, Father!” he said, seizing Dalinar in tight hug with a mixture of relief and joy. “You’re finally here! I’ve spent almost an hour looking around for you. I’m sorry for criticising your old friend, but I didn’t realise you’d brought him here. It’s great to see you up and about again! Look, come talk with these Parshendi, they’re very nice. I even got one to dance with me...” Adolin tugged his father’s sleeve, pulling him around the room. The youthful exuberance was only slightly faked. The happiness of seeing his father as he was in his younger days, without alcohol or guilt clouding his mind, was an enormous comfort to Adolin. Particularly, seeing his father issuing commands like the strong general he was supposed to be made Adolin grin even wider. Dalinar stiffened under the hug, not sure about this public display of emotion, then slowly wrapped his arms around his son. "Yes, I'm here." Dalinar said gruffly, sizing up Adolin. I was busy talking with Sadeas and -" when he was interrupted by something that Torol himself was saying. 1 hour ago, SE_Torol_Sadeas said: "I have finally tracked the source of those rumors, to Adolin Kholin of all people." Sadeas declared "The child should be thrown out before causing any more trouble." Dalinar quickly turned and eyed his son, pushing him out of his embrace, and grabbing him by the shoulders. "Adolin what is Sadeas saying? What have you done?" Edit: No one has actually pinged him yet, so, just to be safe. @SE_Adolin_Kholin Edited September 11, 2018 by SE_Dalinar_Kholin See above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Albatross Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Aesudan stepped forwards. "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the rumors are not unfounded. I approached young Adolin with my concerns, when I heard the rumors that he was planning to perform an act of violence... And he admitted that he was planning on killing somebody at this feast." "In general, I have always had the highest respect for Adolin, and I am sure that he does not truly mean to engage in such a grave crime. I'm sure that this is merely a decision made in the heat of the moment, impaired by too much wine." "Such episodes are not without precedent," Aesudan remarked, glancing over at Dalinar, who was already showing signs of inebriation. "As such, I suggest that Adolin be removed from the feast, at least for the time being, so that he can come to his senses." Quote Just so we are all on the same page, it should be fairly obvious from the way that this vote is developing that there is some discussion going on in PMs that has precipitated this. I confess I am a little concerned by the nontransparency of this practice. But, I am still taking part in it, because I have confirmed that the accusation aganst Adolin is legitimate. I am not in principle opposed to there being attacks (this is an SE game after all), but I am concerned by how quickly Adolin resorted to it to further his objective.

Mauve Crocodile Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I did contemplate attacking someone who I believed posed an existential threat to my win condition. I did, however, take the chance to speak with them privately, and quickly disabused myself of such notions—he was not as much of a threat as I believed him to be. However, I believe it is quite hypocritical of Aesudan to criticise me of attempted murder, as I learned from the action I cooperated with Wit on last night that she was not only thinking about murdering one of our Parshendi guests, but actually attempted to commit the deed. My supposed murders were confined to mere speculation, and I have no intention of removing @SE_Drunk_Beggar from the game, which he himself can confirm from our PM. I will instead be looking to further my win condition in other ways.

Mauve Crocodile Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I really don’t want to go into too many specifics to preserve anonymity, but suffice it to say that I observed Aesudan trying to kill a Parshendi guest last hour. Wit, myself, and potentially others, if they wish to reveal themselves (which I imagine they do not) can support my assertion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mint Heron Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 "I second this. Indeed, Aesudan did make an attempt on Klade, which is displeasing to me because Klade actually appreciates my Wit, unlike all of you. I have no idea why she would do this, but clearly she did. My King, I worry she is trying to undermine the alliance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and others have voted on Adolin as we are concerned about the way he was approaching his goals. We received multiple reports that he planned to kill someone this cycle. I believe that Klade is unlikely to be attacked again as it would be hard to muster an appropriate following for two turns in a row, and I have yet to see evidence that proves that Aesudan was involved. For the sake of Torol, we must ostracise Adolin until he can come to his bearings.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Swan Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 The clamor in the dining hall was reaching new heights. The Parshendi were humming nervously, in their weird rhythms. Wit seemed to be considering throwing the glass of violet in his hand. Tearim decided that now, if at all, it was time to step in. "Excuse me! Would everyone please calm down." The noise lessened a little. "It seems, that despite my best efforts, some of you can't help but try to kill each other." Tearim scanned the assembled nobility. "Let's not descend into a mob this early in the night, shall we? Brightness @SE_Aesudan_Kholin, I heard your name called. Please explain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream Tuatara Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Navani twirled around, stormlight unusually bright as she heard fragments of voices. Accusations. Reaching her hand for a mind-clearing drink as Jasnah had advised her, Navsni found herself drinking more wine. "Oh my," she mumbled as she turned to address the crowd, keeping herself upright. She wasn't drunk. A little giddy, but not drunk, right? "Excuse me," she said as a brief pocket of silence manifested for the Queen to speak through. "People are saying Aesudan is attempting murderer, and maybe she is, and that's bad." Why was she speaking so informally? "But what if Aesudan didn't? But what if she did? But what if she didn't?

Sapphire Elephant Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 If not for his years of practice controlling his actions, Szeth-son-son-Vallano would have spilled his tray of wines when he heard of the attempted assassination on one of his masters' life -- by Aesudan Kholin, no less. As it was, his tray of orange wines only wobbled slightly, and his pure white clothing remained unstained. Only two hours since the treaty had been signed and the Alethi had already attempted to break it. Why? Had it all been a ruse to get the Parshendi to lower their guard? Any other people would have been unwilling to trust that a few signatures on a piece of paper would protect them if the Alethi decided to go to war, but the Parshendi didn't know any better. Perhaps it was all just a prelude to a new swelling of the Parshmen population in Alethkar. Szeth altered his route so that it angled closer to the Parshendi dignitaries. He couldn't make out expressions of worry on their strange, marbled faces, but their humming had suddenly changed to faster tempo. He curled his fingers, ready to draw his Blade whenever his masters called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Flamingo Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Quote Wow... Ok, a lot has happened in the hour, or so, I have been away... Lets see if we can sort this out... 1 When the celebration first started, I was approached by Aesudan. We came to an agreement of espionage. She and I would collaborate to spy on each other, as it would satisfy both of our wincons. That would have taken place over the last turn, and then this one. However, we were not able to completely agree on the details of the arrangement. So we went and found other people to assist us. I found Wit and Adolin. I spied on Aesudan and saw that she spied on me at the same time. I, however, got the impression from our conversations, that she was working with a group that I was nervous about. So I created the rumor that she had attacked Klade, as I thought (apparently rightly so), that that would anger enough people to get her ostracized. I, however, expected to be able to control that rumor. I was obviously incorrect. Then Adolin asked Wit and me to attack @SE_Dalinar_Kholin . I do not know how the rumor that he was attempting to attack Sadeas got out... I am sorry Sadeas, but it seems you have not caught the person targetting you. Quote I am color blind, so hopefully the colors on my posts are decent... I claim full responsibility for this confusion.
