  12. Lady Cricket stands alone in a quiet corner of the Assembly hall, the noise of bickering lords a dull murmur around her. She paces slightly, her elegant dress whispering against the cold stone floor as she works through the implications of the latest killing, mostly to herself. Lord Ruler, the things that happen in this city. Another death. Your Mistakes, a New Lord. A New Lord. What does that even mean in the grand scheme of things? We're barely finding our footing with Elend as Emperor, and the shadows are already long enough to trip a Koloss. The story from the palace... an assassin targeting the Emperor, scared off, and somehow Your Mistakes gets caught in the shrapnel? Scrap metal, they said. Through the heart. It sounds dramatic, doesn't it? An accidental death during an attack on Elend. It’s too convenient. It feels staged to cause maximum disruption, to make the Emperor look vulnerable, or perhaps even incompetent in the protection of his own people. And Your Mistakes was a New Lord. Not an Old Lord with long-standing grudges or political power. But who had the motive? Who benefits from general chaos right now? The skaa, perhaps, but they work in the shadows, or so we're told. The Old Lords who resent Elend's rule? Almost all of them. The lack of Skaa Messengers is also suspicious. Silent today. Does that mean the skaa know something they aren't sharing, or are they deliberately being kept out of the loop by the Lords who control them? We need to consider the possibilities. The killer could be an Old Lord working to destabilize the new government. The timing, the method... scrap metal, it just doesn’t feel right. The problem is the randomness of the victim. If the target was indeed accidental, the killer is sloppy or opportunistic. If it was deliberate, why Lord Your Mistakes? What did Your Mistakes know, or what did they represent? A New Lord might have ideals, might be less corrupt, might be harder to manipulate. Removing a 'good' New Lord removes a vote for Elend's reforms and discourages others from supporting him. I lean towards the assassin being an agent of chaos, someone who wants the Lords to turn on each other. The more we squabble, the weaker Elend gets. This is a game of power and survival. I must be careful. I have my own theories, my own suspicions, but voicing them too loudly without proof is a good way to end up dead myself. I need to observe the others, their reactions, their whispers. Who is quiet? Who is speaking too loudly? Who looks triumphant? This assembly is a den of vipers, and the true Loyalists among us are hiding in plain sight. They want us to make mistakes, to point fingers randomly. I won't give them the satisfaction. I will watch, and I will analyze. But Lord Ruler, my heart is heavy with the weight of this uncertainty. Who is next?
  13. This is making less and less sense.
  14. I don't know if we have anything open right now, but as soon as a game ends, I would love to play with you. Oh, but you can spectate something like Lords of Luthadel to see how it works.
  15. My read on ruler Very indecisive. He just can't decide on who to vote for. Elim leaning. Also what evidence?
  16. It's pretty awesome. I'm in it rn
