Round 1 Crisis - Murder on Parmentier (Minor)
With the recent death of its Count, the Planet of Parmentier is in a state of chaos. The appointed heir has been slain, and the Count’s nephew, Dysaz, appears to be to blame. Dysaz has claimed his right to trial by the Landsdraad, if he is found innocent he will become the new Count of Parmentier. The line of succession after him is murky at best, and if he is found guilty Parmentier will need to have a new ruler appointed by the Landsdraad.
According to his accusers Dysaz was at a major state function when word reached him of his cousin’s death and over a dozen witnesses confirm he smiled and said “Poison is so much more reliable than a knife” even though he had not yet been told his cousin had been poisoned. His supporters point out that a culprit has already admitted to the crime, the leader of a local House Minor, Jurg Tranin, was found dead from apparent suicide from a knife wound to the back of the skull, with a nearby suicide note proclaiming “I did it, I, Burg Thanin, killed the count’s heir, I can no longer live with the guilt, my deepest regret is the injury I have done to the kind and noble Dysaz, last of his House and clearly the rightful heir and a man of great leadership skills whose Glorious Reign will bring peace and prosperity to all.”
This trial is expected to be expensive for the Landsdraad, and each player will have 600 MS added to their Annual dues this year (-600 MS income this round) to cover the costs.
Aye: “He’s obviously guilty… and that suicide note is a joke, Guilty!”
Nay: “Witnesses are unreliable, he was probably smiling at a joke someone had told him, poison is easy to guess, Jurg Tranin was obviously too overcome with guilt and remorse to spell his name right… Innocent… no seriously, stop laughing!”
Aye Result: If he is found Guilty then the common folk rejoice at the justice (+300 MS income this round per Planet – including HW - and Standard Asset) and the Planet of Parmentier (Rich, 3 militia) will become available for Auction next round.
Nay Results: Dysaz has great respect for justice and if found innocent he will gladly reward his noble jurors (1600 MS per player) and will become available as a Strong Elector next round. The Luxury Good: Semuta produces double its income, as the disenchanted common folk seek solace in the popular trance drug. All Planets – including HW - and Standard Assets produce 100 MS less this round.
Two Temporary Factions emerged, Dysaz’s supporters (9 votes) and his accusers (15 votes)
CHOAM reports the turbulence from this Crisis has caused an Agri Fief, an Ore Mine, a poor planet, a Luxury: Semuta, 2 weak electors and a hero to appear
