Just throwing the thread up

As I said in OOC

I'm not touching this for various reasons.

I know Zanebry and Niall invested a lot in that investigation so I feel they have some place in it.

Lyseil contributed a little, but I'm not as invested as those 2 and am only ok at the rolls. So I will happily sit out. :)

Urghhhhh...

So, Niall's one of the people who's been turning the heat up on Hurn, Z being the other most involved. Some other people helped, too! Lyseil, for instance. I'm not sure how many time slots I've spent on it, but I'd estimate it to be at least half a dozen, probably more.

Further, if we do try to talk her down, Niall has I think the second best Leadership, and 2nd or 3rd best charm (2eP+2eA-2eS before other modifications). He's not bad in a fight, either, although there are plenty who are better.

But yeesh, the difficulty of these rolls makes getting to eight successes really challenging. And there's definite consequences for trying and failing; it looks like fighting her costs 10 power, and at best prevents the loss of 1.0 trust.

From an objective OOC perspective, the smart thing is to take the bribe, gain the power, gain the VP. From an IC perspective, Niall would never do that. And from a subjective OOC perspective, it burns me more than a little.

So, in conclusion, I don't know. I need to think about it a bit. If people really want to take the bribe, I'll swallow my idealism and pride.

But if we do want to try to bring her in, I'd like to be there, due to being pretty good at it, and having IC reason to be involved.

Cole is very interested in the money, and would be highly empathetic to the desire to get away from all this. *flaps arms vaguely*

IC a medic could be justified answering a emergency beacon.
OOC those Victory Points sure wouldn be sweet.

If Zanebry is there, it's to shoot her. As I'm no help at talking her down, and he wouldn't take the bribe. Not at this point.

I mean I can likely justify him taking it, but it's be a hard sell to me. So better I stay out of it. I also am sighing a bit at more of the, doing the wrong thing is infinitely better. So it's double best I just step aside.

I am all for taking the bribe. If she has no guts to continue the fight, she'd better support those who do?

Shootout can be fine too. I am least into the appeal to morals.

Corrupt faction faces Righteous faction. Which one will prevail? Will the event even happen? Stay tuned! ;)

Upon reflection, I must choose the same as my character. If good and smart come into conflict, I must choose good.

But we have to see if we can do it. And I won't go against it if people are very much for taking the bribe. But I'm putting in a confident vote for bringing her in.

As a thought, Illyria could simply record receiving the bribe and then turn over all the evidence to the Republic Navy after the fact. We get her donation to the cause, and she'd still suffer consequences.

Event's not firing due to the vote - as nice as that would be

We started the day with 21 power, and the two events cost 10 and 12 respectively, so there was a vote to decide which to do.

According to Dapper, we've got enough evidence on her so that she's a wanted individual in the Republic hereafter.

I saw discussion in the Arms planning thread, but missed an actual vote and couldn't find it in Bookkeeping. Thanks!
