Court Gossip Isaac Send a noteboard - 11/01/2011 05:40:30 AM

The court is ablaze with rumors…
“A Gem Mine on Relicon Sapphire Plateau was raided, I heard thousands of workers died during the attack”
“…One of those minor lordlings was killed I heard”
“Oh, where was that?”
“Not sure, Ecaz… maybe Buzzell or that wretched desert Melange comes from, no survivors though, the invaders butchered everyone and took over”
“The Brigands of Bendar were crushed during an attempted raid, I heard their leader is furious”
“Same things with the Pirates of Carib Ion Sea, a failed raid.”
“No… no… it wasn’t a raid, they tried to capture the place.”
“That was somewhere else, they tried both.”
“These pirates are getting far too aggressive… something should be done!”
“The fool noble who bought the Soostones on Buzzell's Western Coast has left them completely unguarded!”
“Sivria’s responsible for this! You mark my words, it would be like them to fund pirates considering what they did to the crops.”
“Not Sivria, the Emperor’s responsible for this piracy, and it’s the Bene Tleilax who engineered the crop damage.”
“Ridicolous… rumor has it that Zum Gaorn himself was seen leading one of these raids.”
“Rumors and lies about our monarch. Besides the Tleilaxu’s face dancers could easily impersonate the Bashar.”
The Chancellor suggests another Grand Ball

Vote Available: [Hold Grand Ball: Each player receives (1d6+Diplomacy Score)x200 MS in contributions, funds dispersed when an Adjutant General informs the Chancellor of a majority] to vote this a message on the board must be titled "Vote: Hold Grand Ball"

I'd be all for condensing it into one auction phase ranagrande - 15/01/2011 04:07:56 AM 1172 Views
It'd be fairer for players like Bergioyn who aren't present near the deadline though. Fanatic-Templar - 15/01/2011 04:18:19 AM 1061 Views
I think a better solution would be to randomize the deadlines ranagrande - 15/01/2011 04:47:43 AM 1236 Views
That's true enough. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 15/01/2011 04:56:09 AM 550 Views
