Dragon Age: The Aeducan Succession [Stopped]

[Pinman]

Imprisonment is for weaklings.

vote: Reenk Roink

A night in jail will calm you down.

Imprison: Renata

[TheFlax]

Let's not be hasty here, if I may be so bold. Surely we do not want to condemn to death or exile an innocent?

Imprison: Chaotix

[Double A]

Fellow dwarves, we do not need to mindlessly vote for ourselves, not when there is no way of telling who, or what, the murderer is. I say, at the most, we imprison someone, until our path is clearer.

vote: abstain.

[Renata]

Weakling!

unvote, vote Double A

[Khazaar]

Her body has not yet grown cold and already there is bickering, shouldn´t we wait to hear what the Grey Warden has to say? There´s a reason that King Aeducan has asked his assistance...

Vote: Abstain

[Double A]

No one votes for me and gets away with it.

unvote, vote: Renata

[Beskar]

I believe the lady is overcome with grief, perhaps she should have a rest tonight, in security.

Imprision: Renata

[Renata]

I'm no lady, I'm a dwarf.

[Double A]

There ARE dwarf ladies, you know. We don't just pop out of the ground.

I bet you're a stinking human.

[Renata]

Human? Oh, now that's just uncalled for. Ewww.

[TheFlax]

There ARE dwarf ladies, you know. We don't just pop out of the ground.

I bet you're a stinking human.

I bet you're a nug.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

You're all nothing but city elves. Stinking, dirty, thieving city elves.

Mind you, I doubt there are any elves in this game.

[TheFlax]

Question to those wiser than I. Why is voting to kill/exile someone is a better option than imprisoning someone when we know not who is responsible?

[Secura]

Just a slight change in the rules regarding the imprison option; while this prevents the player from using any abilities for the night phase, it also prevents them being targetted by those of others too.

I'll amend the initial post to reflect that. :3

[johnhughthom]

OOC: I think most of us would have assumed that anyway. Best to put it in Black and kinda Mauve just to be safe I guess.

It's better to be safe than sorry...

Your words have a ringing of truth to them. We should not kill anyone unless they are enemies of Orzammar.

unvote, imprison: Renata

[Renata]

Your dishonest words betray you for the coward you are, Double A. You speak of truth, but in doing so you only serve yourself. You put me a comfortable two votes ahead of your own death or exile (and one in front of Autolycus' imprisonment), all in the guise of a reasonable prudence.

[Renata]

(Separately, to answer Flax: I hardly ever fight day one no-lynches anymore (which is essentially what this is), but that doesn't mean I have to like it or participate in it.)

I am not worried if I were to be exiled, for I have nothing to hide from the honorable folk of Orzammar. Your accusations reveal your own secretes, Renata.

ooc: Yeah well I HAVE A SAMMICH

Its better than "no lynch" my dear, since it is in effect a "roleblock". But you are right, you don't need to like or participate in it.

[Chaotix]

Imprisonment by vote is useless. The only way we will catch the murderer during the day is by exile.

[Romanic]

How is it useless? If someone is imprisoned and a murder occur, we will know for certain that he is not the killer. That's useful. It looks better than a real lynch, because we don't have any information to deal with.

[Renata]

So what are you going to do if there is no death tonight? Assume the imprisoned one is guilty, so you spend two days lynching one person? Assume there's a chance it was a frame and spend several days keeping that person in prison just to be sure? And what if there is a kill? Assume the person locked up is innocent, then get stabbed in the back five days down the line when it turns out they were only the killer's backup partner? What you get out of something like this is information, but it's not very useful information. All it really is is an excuse to do nothing.

Are you volunteering to do your duty of slaining as many darkspawn as possible before your demise, my lady, opposed to imprisonment?

[Captain Blackadder]

Salroka one and all we must not be hasty and I have consolted with the fallen Paragons of our lands and they have told me to

Imprison johnhughthom

Renata has explained it perfectly.

We must exile those we suspect. Imprisonment is not a viable option during the day time.

[TheFlax]

Of course... If only we had a suspect in the first place...

And Renata, I said that "Imprison" is better than "No Lynch", not that you should think its the best move ever.

[Romanic]

Imprisoning is the best move ever at this point.

Let's keep our numbers high, while gathering some information, and make sure that a hasty lynch does not turn against us.

[Secura]

Imprisonment is not a viable option during the day time.

It's supposed to be. :/
