God Save the Queen, Indeed: Let's Play Long Live the Queen!

[Lycan 01]

Lower Taxes.

[Sightsear]

Perhaps they don't have lemons?

As for business, We're already in a good place with the people, so lowering the taxes isn't vital for keeping our head. On the other hand, having more money isn't really a vital necessity either, and invite trouble where there was none before. When in doubt, status quo!

Let's keep the taxes as is.

And yes titles, we do like you!

+1 Vote from me

[Mirrinus]

Let's bring our Resist Magic and Sense Magic up again this coming week. No sense in leaving things half-done, after all.

[Sanguine]

Lower taxes, I mean it's not like we've actually had the choice to invest in any of the special projects so far, so we probably don't need that much money.

[Starbuck_II]

I say keep the same. Because we need the people's good will, but don't want to be poor ourselves.

[tyckspoon]

Hold taxes level. We haven't spent much of anything yet, and I don't think we've done anything to really draw danger from the rest of our tax base so that we would need to mollify them with lower taxes.

(Kind of interesting to get an exact report of our available finances- it highlights just how absurd that earlier price for buying off Ixion was.)

To be fair, Bruce, in his public persona, actively invests in projects that vastly improve the welfare of the residents of Gotham in the millions, through pretty much every continuity he exists in.

That said, we don't know what we may need the current money for, so keep taxes level. We can always invest in something good later, given our awesome actuarial/accounting skills.

[Tavar]

We might want to boost our Trade/Production skill areas, though.

[smuchmuch]

Let's keep taxes as they are.

[ZeroNumerous]

I believe people are forgetting something.

Batman is loved by the populace(except in continuities where he's not) despite being a walking hospital visit for crooks. We too must be loved by the people. Unfortunately, we cannot create this love by breaking legs and snapping spines, so we must create it in the only way available to us: Lower taxes.

[SlyGuyMcFly]

Lower Taxes. Happy people is people that will support us in case of coup and while having some on-hand cash is nice, we haven't actually used any yet. We just don't have the skills to benefit from these special projects anyway.

[Rainbownaga]

Lower Taxes!

Our personal guard will protect us from assassins and our magic (and magical allies) and skills can help with nobles, so the populace is our biggest current threat.

Also, seconding the fact that we're to stupid to approve any of the public works people keep offering

[Deme]

Part 2
or
The manager sort of told me to apologize for interrupting the LP with emotional breakdown titles. Oops. Normal titling will resume.

Spoiler

And the winner is...

Staying the course!
Which is fine, since this is a course people appear to be contented with...Unless they dislike how pathetic we looked at the festival. But still -- the taxes, they'll live with. And we get money.

"As you wish."
We love you, too, dad.


Our current mood...Because...
It's weekend time!
Things to note: if we want to stay willfull but get closer to neutral, we can do 'attend service.' Or we can change direction, or give us more willful so we can maneuver more easily while staying in willful.


The rest depends on what we're doing next.


Visit Treasury: +1 Willful

Attend Court: +2 Yielding, +1 Depressed, +1 Pressured

Attend Service*: -1 Cheerful

Explore Castle: +1 Lonely, +1 Afraid

Play with Toys: +1 Yielding, +1 Lonely, +1 Cheeful.

Visit Dungeons* +1 Willful, +1 Angry

Visit Tomb: +1 Depressed, +1 Afraid

Walk in the Gardens: +1 Lonely, +1 Cheerful.

Sneak Out: +1 Lonely, +2 Willfull

Play Sports*: +1 angry

[Sanguine]

Okay, lets Attend Service and take Classes in Ciphering and Resist Magic again.

[Forum Explorer]

Attend Service. Horses and Wield Magic

[Mirrinus]

Sense Magic and Resist Magic

Also, Magical Girl outfit.

Because Batman needs to fight for justice. And one such reckoning will come sooner than you think.

[Tavar]

Keep this outfit, attend service, resist and weild magic.

[Hawkflight]

I vote Foreign Unintelligence and Ciphering.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Attend Service, Ciphering and Internal Affairs (if Ciphering bumps past 25, that'll let IA go above 50, right? Otherwise, Foreign Intelligence for the second class.)

[smuchmuch]

Ciphering and horses

This, and also put the Magical Girl outfit on for the boost to magic. Something tells me if we are in danger, a boost to magic will help more than a boost to acumen :P

+1 Vote, with more of an emphasis on Resist Magic if it comes to a tiebreaker or something.

And yes, put the insane suit Magical Girl outfit back on, please.

Chapter 27, Week 20, Mood: Willfull
or
We are Justice!

Spoiler

Alright, time to do this thing!

I'm not sure there's a joke I'm allowed to make here, so let's move on.

For the week, we put back on our poofy magical-girl dress.
And the winners are... Ciphering and Resist Magic!
...Again.



And we get a new outfit! This one's...Pretty special, guys. Yup.


That's a lot of resistance. Let's hope we're prepared for the next magical threat that comes our way! (She says, knowing when that is)


Joslyn's legalese needs some work.
On the other hand, it's time to be the Justice Novan needs, and hopefully pass enough checks to be the one it deserves, too!
"He does not deny the act, but requests a pardon that he might be set free."


Well, he might be insane, Lodie.


Callled it. Though is it really calling it if I already knew?
"Everyone knows the power of magical beasties! They used me, they twisted my fingers into chains. My wife found me screaming, she tried to shake me, and the chains wrapped around her..."

Riiight. Sure. Demons. I mean, odds are decent there are demons, and there definately are magical creatures, but...

[b]"I need the priestesses to bless me and make me clean again!"[/color]
You need less murdering to do that.


This is...The other early-game sense magic check I was thinking about. Congrats!
This guy's not surrounded by demons -- he's a WITCH!


Now, for passing that check, we get the option of pursuing the whole 'lumen' thing.

[Sanguine]

We should obviously question him about the crystal

[Eldonauran]

Been watching for a bit. Loving it! Deme is the best.


Question about the crystal!

[Zanfib]

Question about the crystal.

[Mirrinus]

Excellent. Soon, we will be Vengeance and The Night as well.
