I'm going to ##vote nay on 6.32, we can't afford morale to go any lower

##Prop 6.33 look into canidates for a sheriff position

7 hours til phase end. I’ll be at work but soon after when I get home I’ll wrap it up

##SECOND 6.33

We should write down some general laws sometime before or during next phase too for our sheriff to work with.

Bo's point about morale makes a lot of sense, actually. I'm going to change my vote for 6.32 - ##Vote Nay Prop 6.32

However, I do think we need to come up with an alternative way of explaining to the colony what exactly went on with Brain's death. If that means the Governor coming out and explaining his position, then so be it.

I wonder if it might make the most sense, after the Governor has explained himself, to immediately call a general election. If he is re-elected, then the people will have shown that they believe he still has what it takes to lead us forward.

##Prop 6.34 Require Governor Bo to make a public statement explaining the situation surrounding Councillor Brain's death after which, he will stand down as Governor. A snap election will then be called, in which Bo will be allowed to run again.

Also ##Vote Yea Prop 6.33

Also, it's bed time here so I'll be posting the charter now. If there are any updates between now and phase turn, you'll have to work them out, CB.

##Role action, Rush Mining 2

Phase end please hold

All the numbers in the docs are updated:

Phase 7 "The Enemars"

Your council has had a tough phase 6. Unfortunately the King did catch wind and you lost a -1 support of crown. The witch has yet to be found -1 Morale; however the people are happy to partake in a feast and drink of the rum. A party thrown by the governor to boost morale. Morale +1. This phase you must prepare a 7 item request list for the king.

*Crisis / Reward*
A group of heavily armed men emerge from the wood. They lay their swords at their feet and ask to speak to the council. Their leader steps forward; "I am Sir Raleigh of the Playdipian Defense Force and demand to know immediately who your colony represents."
A) Inform him you are webDipian and continue discussion
B)Inform him you are webDipian and demand he leave immediately
C) Inform him you are independent and continue discussion
D) Inform him you are independent and deman he leave immediately
E) Councilor created action

*tech and such*
Canning and Mining 2 were both discovered these will be reflected in building guide.

*Buildings*
All were completed see resource guide

NOTES:
-You have 3 expedition parties searching the area. The rowboat returned to the colony.
-You need to have a request list together by phase end for resupply
-You have a crisis/reward so this is a moment where your actions can decide your fate. Do not take first contact with Playdipia lightly.
-Haliburton further trained his nurses. In Halburtons absence your colony now only loses -1 Health instead of -2.

(GM NOTE: These late night my time phases aren't working so I am extending phase til 2PM on 9/30/17 EST. As such you will have 2 midphase events. One on 9/28 at 10PM and the other at 9/29 at around 10pm. One of these will surely be a reward that is a puzzle like the last phase extension.)

Lieutenant- I saw the barbarism of playdipian scum. I say we string them up right here and gut them.

Killian- Do we really want to carry our kings conflicts to the new world. They can be really good trade partners.

Captain Rick- I remember in the merchant fleet we all knew 2 things. One, you should never question a superstition. Two, Playdipians are never to be trusted.

Moon Cat- THE ENEMARS! THE ENEMARS! *She is calmed by Governor Bo's reassuring hand.*

If the other councilors approve, I will handle talks with Sir Raleigh for now

I am not opposed to that Col Ike; keep in mind that these Polydipians appear to be responsible for the deaths of Natives and Webdipians alike.

##GM since the proposal to name Brain the witch passed shouldn't Morale have flat lined?

I'm fine with that.

I believe either last phase or this phase is my last as Governor in this term, and I would be more than happy to serve again. I don't think that anything I have done has been outside the interests of the colony, though I'm sure some would disagree with that. That said, if anyone else would like to take a stab at it and has fair support from the Council, I will happily step aside for the time being and take on a minimized role for the next few phases. That should be a fairly minor matter this phase, though. Aside from dealing with the Enemars, doing our best to make a good list for the king is paramount.

As an aside, I'll be out flying one of our new Skyhawks for a lot of the day so I will be sporadic at best.

Since I have a majority, I will step forward to speak with Sir Raleigh. I take my sword and lay it at my feet as he did and tell him that we are WebDipian and that we are willing to be cautiously peaceful with him if he is willing to do the same thing. I tell him that we have questions for him as I'm sure he does for us, and we can both be better off by talking and being reasonable. ##gm can I tell about how many men he has with him?

@ragingike- I will withhold that action just until the council confirms that is their intent. :)

@Cosmo- a switched vote was missed by the scribe but brought to my attention by another Councilor so the prop actually failed.

I vote in favour of Cosmo handling the Playdipians. What prop number is that?

*Ike

I say let Ike handle it.

I don't think we're voting to let him handle it, only to let him speak to the guy first.

Anyone have any good ideas for items from the King? I wouldn't mind more building materials so we can go nuts building some fortifications.

I would say that we should continue to ask for things we can't make ourselves, like animals or chemicals. Maybe we should ask for some books and newspapers to boost morale??

Morale should be okay, I think. It has to drop to 0 before any major action is taken off of it. Still, I'm not opposed to boosting morale at all - hell, I've spent 100 food and a barrel of alcohol to do that so far this game all on my own.

I personally think we should build a saloon and get a pretty steady morale boost from it, if that's possible.

*Mid Phase Puzzle*

The nain rouge appears before the council. His hands dripping with blood and his mouth agape in a wide sickening smile. He lays a birds nest at Governor Bo's feet before vanishing. The council is awe struck. How could such a powerful being exist.

Bo looks in the nest and finds 3 vials. One red, One blue, and One green.

Beneath them a note reads:

"You have a choice and choose you must; or else my wrath will be dangerous.
I may be red but im green with envy; jokes aside I can be quite deadly.
I'll tell you a tale of my storied past; one of pride and deceit and a spell miscast.
I saw myself as a warrior red; who's blade was coated by the enemies dead.
I saw my enemies as green and unkempt; trolls who deserved to die for a life misspent.
I saw her as a woman with eyes of blue; her voice the only one able to soothe.
One night she grew a bitter ill; and i was desperate to save her still.
I bartered with demons and dabbled in magic; I tried to prevent an end so tragic.
I found a spell that would make her well; little did I know i'd damn us to hell.
She burned with me for a millennia before I was offered a choice I could not ignore.
The devil offered to set her soul free; but first he had a task set for me.
So he sent me here to our world as you see to cause havoc for an eternity.
So my only hint today is short and is sweet; do not be like me, and do not wallow in defeat.

(We gather that he intends for one councilor to drink one of the potions you may have a councilor drink as many or as few as you wish. However no more than one councilor can drink each. So Councilor A could drink up to all 3 but Councilors A and B can not split any one vial.

Based on what he said he is red, his enemies are green and his wife is blue. His wife spent a millenia in hell, he's not normal any more, but his enemies (even though he says they should be dead) seem fine. I might be digging too far into it, or not enough...

Le nain rouge literally means the red man, so I can confirm that much.

Even though I feel my previous actions were justified, for the sake of the Colony I must repent. I volunteer to drink any or all potions.

I'm not convinced that drinking the green vial makes the most sense. His enemies have been defeated by his own sword, and we are told not to wallow in defeat. Equally, the message we received upon departure suggested that we should "Beware offending the Nain Rouge". On the off chance that to drink a vial is to declare some alignment, I think it would offend him if we chose to drink the vial representing his enemies. I do see, however, that she burned in hell and that could be complicated.

I suggest that whoever drinks (Count Carsálé, if he is certain) should choose option D: drink the purple vial.

Red and blue are the only two colours that will mix here without making an unsightly brown. We are avoiding being like him (drinking red) or burning like her (drinking blue). And, symbolically, we are re-uniting the two of them, which is what he has come here to do in the first place.
