    Those who accuse a courtesan of playing the part of a noble too well while she is in the employ of one who enjoys such play are fools true and whole.

    You will take down a woman for having rare quality and virtue that allowed her to separate herself from whores who bed with rats? They would sooner lie on the dining-table of the royals to save their own skins than put themselves before and also with riflemen as I do, and for whom? What do I stand to gain, mes amis? I am already a name known to the jailer, before afternoon tea, while the women I have separated myself from are still asleep in the chambers of students not at barricades-- or ah, worse!-- royals who have had to turn away from out-spoken courtesans in these days of trial.

    You will put down intelligence and a voice, the qualities you wished to liberate? Tragédie, for sure.

    I find it unlikely you will be able to put me in prison without expending a limited resource. There are more foul creatures around you.

    Hmm, another call to jail someone who hasn't, to this point, made his voice heard. I do not like this trend, especially from a woman who carries on such as yourself, Oboro.

    !Retract Jeffe. I was rash upon entering. What we need here is organization.

    Not only for just our barricade, but also for our great nation! Gentlemen, where have your manners gone? You would throw this poor woman in jail, and possibly take her life based on what? Her company? This is a time of strife for sure, but this is no time for us to lose our heads! A clear head will keep the royalty at bay, whilst confusion and ignorance will let them come back and play.

    !I block the vote for Oboro's jailing. She has worked to make a better life for herself, just as we are working for that same thing throughout France right now.

    I am not fool enough to believe I will get anywhere at all without currying on my own time, as some will curry favor with me. There are prices to pay and motions to make for all.

    And now, since I am the one who is most likely to be imprisoned anyway, you call out my actions?

    I am a servant of the people. I am a voice of the people; I assure you, I am a servant of the people. Advise me! Please, do.

    One man's bargain with me may be quite easily overturned by the bargain of the public. Please-- speak to me, and do not speak of me to the jailer. You have many options, and so many of you opt to act on none!

    I believe you to be honest, Oboro. And for this reason, I will:

    !retract my vote to block Rygar from jail... while it's unwarranted he has been quite silent.

    I will !vote to block Oboro from being jail, she is a much more valuable resource if I'm interpreting her correctly

    Edit: However, Oboro, I would like you to (if you can) reveal your reason for jailing Smasher.

    I informed you that I did nothing but deliver a notice as was requested of me. I trust more the man that asks me bargain with him, and turn favor likewise, than the man that will bow to me without suspicions of his own.

    When suspicion is not mutual, one party is right to be doubly-so. I then, appeased the man. Is this not fair? I appease many men; we seek though to bring about a world where I might not have to make a career out of appeasing many men, and instead appease but also receive the appeal of one in a fair fashion.

    I am a product of ce siècle; I act then knowing my role, only to help our children or those that will come after.

    Anyway Oboro, your RPing is a little irritating, but I see no reason to jail you. Either way, I'm not sympathizing unless you have a little girl lodged in with mean-spirited crooks at an inn while you sold your locket and hair to feed her.

    Ahem.

    It depends. Creating strategies when you have all the information is a different skill than creating strategies when you have no information.

    He may be valuable as a good guy. He's definitely dangerous as a bad guy. Point isn't that we should wax him straight away, only that we should be wary. Then again, I've wreaked my share of havoc with little but a gilded tongue, so I wouldn't trust me, either. :)

    I was about to say, Jeffe. Out of everyone who would want to kill someone for being good at being bad, it's ironic to me that you were the one to bring that up.

    Are the narrations going to include carbines? Tell me they will, please.

    Also, as far as Rygar goes, normally I'd be against killing him straight away for something that happened so long ago, but I remember in The Phalliad everyone was willing to give him a second chance, and nobody even zapped him in Phallanoia, so he really never paid his dues for the Vishnub fiasco. Then again, a simple jailing isn't much of a revenge...

    We've got plenty of people in this game, and the others for that matter, with people who are devastating with the right information. It's always interesting to keep those players around, but it's also dangerous if they happen to be on the other side.

    It's a bit subtle if you are coming out here and giving us some assurances as to why jail is not for you Oboro, Il'l hold my vote for now but will be around later to make sure it can be changed once everyone starts to chime in with their thoughts.

    The rules of the game switched quite a bit from the first round. That being said, I still appreciate the RP. It's a good switch from the other Phallas I've been in.

    The rules changed, but it seemed to me that the reason the rules had problems was that Fencingsax had put much more focus on the setting than the mechanics. I don't think his intent is any different this time around.

    I try my best to leave past actions behind when a new game comes out, simply because if people wanted to try a different approach, I'm more than willing to listen and to see how it goes, for example, PK, dyna, acidserra, etc.

    That's why I usually RNG the first day's vote, since we really don't know anything, it can be assumed the first day vote should be based upon the actions of people in the first day, or a shot in the dark.

    Information seems to be the biggest commodity in this game, it's something we all seem to be lacking.

    Yeah, I think that jailing people for being good in other games kinda ruins the game for them. Then again, what else do you have to go on in the first day? I can't believe I'm saying this.... but I kind of miss AcidSerra ;p

    And I'm not the best roleplayer, but im taking it for what its worth and its quite fun to try.
