Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

I didn't realize we had married leath to someone so stupid. If there's nothing in the letter, we can just read it right here then, huh?

[Maximum Spin]

you're going to get us the paranoid trait again :|

[Haspen]

You demand answers from her. Abis, in response, takes the letter, breaks the seal and tosses it at you in disgust, before leaving.

You roll open the scroll and begin to read.

'Father, it is just as you feared. The insanity of this man knows no bounds! He carelessly kills off his own progeny, and now sent his most valuable heir and son and my husband, Leath, to death. Is he so power-hungry that he believes he will sit on the throne all the time, and therefore there's no need for someone to replace him? What will happen when he will run out of children to succeed him?

And instead of mending relations with dwarves, burying them in money they so love, he burns bridge after bridge each time an opportunity appears. I'm sure you heard of his sacriledgeous deed with their tomb few years ago.

And now he threw the final insult upon me and my house. He removed my beloved Anwyn from inheritance, instead placing his disfigured son, Houlandin, as heir to Methiant. Cyl is the Emperor, and that apparently means no law is sacred for him. What is next, I cannot fathom, but I fear for the lives of me and my children. Leath always said his father was reasonable and just, but maybe it was Leath's devotion to Cyl that blinded him.

Please Father, make an excuse for which I can leave this accursed palace of this equally accursed Emperor and visit your house again. I will take my children, and never come back here.

Abis, your beloved daughter.'

A) Treason! Treason! To dungeon with her kids, and off with her head!
B) She ain't going anywhere. To dungeon with her!
C) Maybe I should really apologize to her. This one time.
D) Proof-less scribbling, this is. Fireplace is where this letter belongs!
E) She can go, take the kids, and hopefully I won't see her again.

[Chevaleresse]

Hmm. On the one hand, letting her leave looks real bad for us, and deprives us of backup heirs if Houlandin bites it. She's supposed to be Menthiant nobility now.

On the other, if we let her go (which is probably what happens with C, though we might be able to salvage it on a good roll) it gets a potential enemy and spy out of our midst.

This entire situation is pretty bad, though. We really don't want Parsia to act on the casus belli we kinda handed to them.

C, for now. It would establish us as a somewhat more reasonable man.

Clearly she doesn't understand what being nobility is. The average length of rule of a spam character is less then 9 years. Sometimes that's bad choices, but mostly that's a nature of the rng system of the spam games. Our sons are nearing their thirties, and became active somewhere in their early teens... Frankly, they are living about as long or longer then should be expected, and probably about as long as average for nobility (well, no, who are we kidding, the npcs don't have nearly as harsh or as opportunity filled lives as our characters do, but that's not our fault. If the npcs had to roll a 1d6 every year and they die on a 1, I doubt they'd be so upset about our sons dying.)

I'm going to abstain because all the options are insane. We don't owe her an apology, you can't fucking judge someone for being paranoid and crazy when you're going around their back and doing this sorta thing. This is Yoe all over again really. On the other hand all the other options are just being spiteful. I think she should be let go, if that's what she wants, but we aren't wrong and don't owe her an apology. She's secretly badmouthing us to other kings and trying to turn them against us.

Also Leath asked to go. The whole thing was his idea... And he's a grown ass man on the noble council isn't he? It's not like we really had that great a right to refuse his request.

[Kashyyk]

Like Criptfeid, I reject all these options.

E - Tell her she can leave with her children if she wants to, but she does not get and does not deserve an apology from us for Leath's decisions.

[Maximum Spin]

She absolutely deserves an apology. Not for Leath's decisions, no, but for ours.

[Haspen]

E - Tell her she can leave with her children if she wants to, but she does not get and does not deserve an apology from us for Leath's decisions.

Oh yeh I knew I was forgetting something 'v.

She can leave if she wants to, but our grandchildren, royal princes and princess of the primary line of succession, are going to be staying here.

Honestly, she is kind of ridiculous.

[Harry Baldman]

C

She's wildly out of line, certainly, but she's also grieving and enraged about the succession matter. Maybe we can somehow repair the rift by not completely failing a roll somehow. It's a stretch, but it could happen!

Proposal: Put Abis's son next in line after Houlandin, have Houlandin's son married to one of her daughters (maybe the one born the same season) to unite the lines, PROBLEM SOLVED.
