Long Live The Queen is a game vaguely akin to Princess Maker 2, (http://lparchive.org/Princess-Maker-2/Update%201/) though less open-ended and more lethal. We must guide a princess who has recently lost her mother on the road to becoming a proper queen, hopefully without dying too much in the process.
Or, more likely, dying savagely to an endless parade of costly mistakes and reckless pride.
Please pardon the mess. The OP and initial weeks of Princess Axespendable's reign are undergoing reconstruction.
Please note that this is intended to be a blind LP. As such:
-Please do not discuss any spoilers or meta knowledge of any kind in the thread, except in spoiler tags.
-Within spoiler tags, you may mention and discuss spoilers in general terms ("We'll need more teacups soon or else"), but not hard specifics ("If we've got less than 6 teacups when the Duchess comes to visit in three days she'll stab us") unless properly tagged with a warning.
-Within a spoiler explicitly tagged as containing specifics ("Heavy Spoilers," "WARNING: SPOILERS WITHIN"), you may freely discuss anything you like in any detail you like.
-Outside or meta knowledge may freely affect your own votes and goals; just try not to make it too obvious that you're voting for spoilery reasons.
-Anything uncovered through the course of playthroughs in this thread is no longer a spoiler. Do note that this does not apply to things people have already verbally spoiled, and aspects of events where we've seen the event but not that particular aspect.
Ideally, this should allow both players familiar with the game and those who haven't had the pleasure to enjoy themselves.

"Maids." That's a very polite term for the psychopaths who are about to run her life off a cliff, possibly literally.
Speaking of which, we have work to do:
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2563/xwie.png)
As you can see, she's wearing her school uniform and doesn't look very happy.
Spoiler: Classes (click to show/hide)
However, I also know what you should be saying, which is "Okay, so what does all this do?" Glad you asked, no one!
Spoiler: Current Skills (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Current Mood (click to show/hide)
You'll also notice that she has bonuses or penalties to a few skills, and that's mainly owing to her mood. Currently, she's very depressed and a little afraid, possibly due in slight part to her mother dying and her suddenly needing to become queen in a year.
Wuss.
Anyway, because her highest feeling is Depressed, she takes penalties to some skill gains and bonuses to others. Her depression also makes her fear totally irrelevant- only the highest emotion applies.
Now, as to what classes actually do. By default, classes raise the given attribute by 2 points per day, and it's a 5 day week. This means by default, each week of class raises an attribute cluster by 10 points. But the bonuses and penalties applied by mood are per day- meaning if she tries to learn Conversation with its -2 penalty, for instance, she'll learn absolutely nothing. As you can see, modifiers are very potent.
Which brings us to our current situation. We need to establish her morning and evening classes for the coming week, as well as perhaps get some default reactions or strategy going if we need to respond to a situation without bringing it before the council first.
Oh, and this may be ever so macabre... but I would also suggest coming up with a name for her. Her canon name is Elodie, of course, but I suspect this isn't the only Elodie we're going to have. Something starting with A might make for a convenient, if rather cynical, pattern. :P

Herein are recorded those valiant princesses whose trials have passed, either by ascending them or, far more likely, by being freed of their mortal coil.
Needless to say, rather massive spoilers contained within.

Plus, you know, animal handling is the only thing she can learn better than normal. And I'm certain (not really) working with cute puppies that will become lethal attack dogs will cheer her up.
EDIT: Er, so that would be a vote for animal handling classes. She'll also learn how to talk to birdies and play with horsies, I guess. As a bonus, I'm guessing she'll become a better horse rider, making her a better knight (sure, why not?).

What skills does depression affect?Your guess is as good as mine, though from her current skillset I'd assume -1 Royal Demeanor and Athletics, -2 Conversation, and +1 Expression and Animal Handling.
Gave this game a shot even though I'm typically not a fan of VN's/Anime art styles, but it was pretty fun. Although seriously, prepare to die many, many times because of a single, seemingly unimportant skill you figured would be a waste of time to train.That's a relief. I was afraid we'd die twice and then win.

One word of warning about skills;
Spoiler: Possible spoiler about game mechanics, anyway (click to show/hide)
That said, mostly ignoring what I've picked up about the early game events and going with my min-max instincts, it makes sense to go with whatever gives the most pluses. :)
So I'll cast a vote in favour of picking up Decoration and Dogs classes. We shall be the finest dressed princess with the finest dressed attack chihuahuas!

Now... I am leaning towards making Elodie into a Mongolian Princess. None of these basket-weaving cowards in this household! High marks in Horsemanship, Archery, Military Strategy, and Falconering, while also working on her charisma, so that she can eventually lead Nova to great glory!
Some History and Military would also be nice though!
However, medicine and stable economics however are for the meek. We shall have no cowards in this household!
To achieve this, I would agree that introducing her to the animals should be our first step. Once she get's less depressed and silly, we can introduce her to the finer arts of being a Mongol Princess.

Haha, so, oops. Turns out you select the subcategory as well. The first of many, many errors, I am sure!
In any case, animal handling seemed to be the only thing there was a fair consensus on, and falcons and puppies seemed fairly well-represented amongst those, so our princess, who we may be calling Axespendable for want of other names, spent the morning... well, take a look:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img42/6679/r7cc.png)

Nothing gets you in the mood to learn about falcons like being depressed.

Our first event!
And rebels, dear. Rebels here to cut your head off and claim your throne.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img856/9867/2g4h.png)
Or them.
Now are they the nice cousins or the scheming for your throne cousins?

Oh hell, look at that sultry whore. She'll see you strangled in your bed before the next full moon, dear.

I guess nothing cheers you up like hearing your aunt tell you she's sorry about your mother.

Oh! And the husband of the seductress, the one you're actually blood-related to, looks kind of wussy and tired!
RUN.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img812/7673/n92n.png)
Now HERE'S a face you can trust. Unless she starts laughing maniacally and grabs an axe, in which case... well, two princesses enter, one queen leaves, I guess.

It'll be the best, least-stabbery sleepover ever!

Almost missed getting a shot of it, but talking to our cousin and her stabby mother has really improved Elodie's/Axespendable's mood!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img19/4708/nfpe.png)
I uh, don't actually know what happens when two moods tie. I'm sure we'll eventually find out!

Oho! Being a princess isn't all work and making small talk with your murderer and replacement. Now it's time for some weekend fun!
Like... wandering your empty frightening castle halls, or wallowing in mortality and terror at your mother's grave.
Wait, let's get our priorities straight. Do we want to stay alive? Because if we want to stay alive, it kind of limits our choices a fair bit.If I'd wanted us to live I probably wouldn't have made a point of playing this game completely blind.
Or suggested we name each iteration so we can keep track of them.

D-don't like it too much! Your home is fine! Great, in fact! No need to be more than the Duchess of Merva!
And yes, the mother-friend exchange rate sucks.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img593/1074/57br.png)
She would know.
Of course, on the off-chance that she's NOT planning to have us brutally murdered, if we let anything happen to her precious daughter she'll definitely start. And let me tell you, the only thing worse than losing your best and only friend is losing your best and only friend and then being murdered by their vengeful relatives over it.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img196/6382/rr9g.png)
I guess... gaining a friend you can hang out with makes you happier?
This game is weird.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img14/9654/7aar.png)
And thus was our weekend well-spent hanging out with our cousin who's mother will likely murder us to see her daughter on the throne. I'm sure Charlotte will feel really conflicted about that in retrospect.
But it's another week and another set of classes in the meanwhile! Speaking of which, I wonder if this means our father just has an archery master on call on the off chance that we pick him instead of the other thirty or forty specialist tutors he's got around.
Of course, this is the fate of the entire kingdom we're talking about. "Excuse me, a dance tutor can't just sit around for three weeks" is hardly a good excuse for cutting corners on that note.
Ah, but you might notice her Depression and Fear are tied now, which... means Fear wins, I guess? The +0.30 on Animal Handling makes me wonder if they're both applying and averaging out or something, or maybe that's just gone down because we've already studied it recently.
Whatever the case, we've got a new set of modifiers and actually know how tutors work this time. We're ready for anything!
Except things that hurt or require more than a rudimentary knowledge of dogs and birds or any knowledge at all about anything else.

Oh, and by the way, I have now taken it as an absolute mission to kill the princess whenever possible.
That being said, you'd do well to heed my advice. When I'm not trying to kill you all of course.

Hey, now! Depression only increased certain skills. I'm sure if we can get the Disgusted - Nirvana axes aligned at -0.6, we'll have a +3.00 to Found New Religion. Ron Hubbard all the way bro's!

Nah, they nerfed that to +1.00 in the lastest patch. So if you're trying for one of the quick religious skill tricks like I think you are, then you're in for a much harder game. Of course I don't really care too much since I always max out my megalomania and thus take the Fascist Dictatorship route with its Cult of Personality. Plus I do love me some Blackshirts...

Being afraid apparently makes you more inclined to Faith and Agility, so apparently being terrified doesn't also make you paranoid enough to study intrigue, or medicines, or even how to run away more effectively.
Hm.
Maybe choose Reflexes and Divination then; that way maybe you can see danger coming and dodge it with lightning reflexes. Maybe.
As a side note... you don't have to choose two different classes, you can double up on the same thing.
Unfortunately, any bonuses you may get aren't recalculated until the following week, so you can't usually turn an advantage from it, unless, say, you needed twenty points in a skill right now, for... something.

Let's put it this way if the princess dies with no designated heir, the crown will most likely fall upon her father by default.Actually, according to the blurb-things his brother-in-law is next in line, with Lady Merva the Snakebit after him. Presumably the crown has to pass by blood, not just marriage.
In related news, I'm counting 3 for Papa, 3 for Mama, and one for actually doing our job.

Also, awesome game, I've sunk well over 10 hours into it and like 30 or so attempts and have so far only managed to complete the game once (around attempt 17). Even after the game's done the first time it still has a fair bit of replayability, and I've yet to uncover all the different story paths yet.
That said I vote for court manners and reflexes.

Divination and reflexes. Being able to see the future and dodge sounds like an excellent way to avoid getting stabbed to death.

I like yielding as well. Is the only mood that give a boost to royal demeanor, wich is a really nice tree, with a lot of uses. Also, the dress is fabulous.

So apparently acting royal and figuring out economics or history are all out of the question when we keep interrupting the classes to explain how it should be.

Unless Duchess is her name or something, yes there is.
Perhaps because I'm accustomed to getting my information from the floorplan directly, it didn't really occur to me that people would ignore it and my commentary entirely and just look at the assembled tooltips. Thus, I didn't think there'd be any particular problem using a version with options not currently available, so long as I had the new option(s) highlighted on the floorplan as well.
That said, I also would have expected you to double-check more than one place when receiving contradictory information. As both the floorplan and my comments imply, neither visiting the Duchess nor visiting Father are available this time.
Post by: Elephant Parade on November 19, 2013, 11:30:49 pm
...I actually remember reading the comments and going "Oh, so we can't visit these two people." I guess I read it, then reread the map to see where to go and forgot about the comments....There is no Duchess.
"Visit Juliana, Duchess Ursul."
Unless Duchess is her name or something, yes there is.
Perhaps because I'm accustomed to getting my information from the floorplan directly, it didn't really occur to me that people would ignore it and my commentary entirely and just look at the assembled tooltips. Thus, I didn't think there'd be any particular problem using a version with options not currently available, so long as I had the new option(s) highlighted on the floorplan as well.

As for the guards not showing up in time, I knew that was going to happen, hence why I didn't vote for it. Not because I know anything about this game, but because "calling the guards" when you see something suspicious never works in any game (unless it's a false alarm, then the guards work just fine).

Visiting the treasury sounds like suicide since we have no idea what kind of skill checks to expect.
But visiting the treasury seems to be the only way to determine what kind of skill check to expect.
Or are we not infiltrating and just, as they say ,"casing the place"?

Willful should really give a bonus to presence, not a penalty.
Presence is a pain to train. The only mood that boost it is yielding, that is hard to get (and useless for anything else). Is one of the most useful
skills, though. And the dress is really nice.

Well, since right now our little princess is too princessy to pay attention in the two classes that would (presumably) actually let her get into her own treasury; we'll have to study alternatives. Foreign Intelligence and Ciphering should allow us to practice the necessary secret-agent skills.
Post by: EuchreJack on November 24, 2013, 05:51:17 pm
Battle Plan Gemgrab!
1) Study Flattery and Court Presence (we have no maluses for those, and they'll boost our study of Presence later on).
2) Attend Court on the weekends (so we can get yielding and be better at learning accounting and presence).

Court Manners can't possibly hurt. That being said, Intrigue is one of the more useful skill subsets early on, so might as well work on that.
+Court Manners
+Internal Affairs
For the sake of consensus, I agree with this. Just remember to hold court during the weekend, and go along with whatever Daddy wants if we get any special events.

Post by: i2amroy on November 25, 2013, 03:21:49 pm
Personally I find it fairly easy to establish a yielding attitude, the key is to alternate between going to court and playing in your room on weekends (both give yielding, and the cheerful/depressed and lonely/pressured bonuses cancel each other out, meaning you only modify your yielding/willful axis).Willful should really give a bonus to presence, not a penalty.Presence is a pain to train. The only mood that boost it is yielding, that is hard to get (and useless for anything else). Is one of the most useful

Wait, why are we forced to answer his call for aid? And more importantly, why isn't the king making this decision? I mean, we're not the queen yet.If you look a bit more into their setup you find that in truth your father wasn't really a king, but rather was just a king consort. This means that any bits of power he might have accumulated while king consort are immediately lost on the death of your mother, since they were simply held through her. At your mother's death he is immediately reduced from being a king consort back down to just being a normal baron, and any of the royal powers immediately descend upon the eldest living female heir, you.
That said I'm going to vote for negotiation, if only to give us the opportunity to insult a foreign diplomat prior to thrashing his army to pieces.

Wait, why are we forced to answer his call for aid? And more importantly, why isn't the king making this decision? I mean, we're not the queen yet.If you look a bit more into their setup you find that in truth your father wasn't really a king, but rather was just a king consort. This means that any bits of power he might have accumulated while king consort are immediately lost on the death of your mother, since they were simply held through her. At your mother's death he is immediately reduced from being a king consort back down to just being a normal baron, and any of the royal powers immediately descend upon the eldest living female heir, you.
Of course, in English the proper title would have been Prince Consort. There's no such thing as a King that's not ruling.

Of course, in English the proper title would have been Prince Consort. There's no such thing as a King that's not ruling.According to wikipedia "king consort" is an alternative title to the more usual "prince consort". At this point it's only been officially used a few times in history but it does exist. (It's also one of the titles used in DF, which is probably why it came more readily to my mind).

Huh. That's actually a considerably less heroic and noble explanation than I was expecting.
Which was admittedly basically "the Duke of Maree was a prick and started it, and the Iximiliomophs are pacifist bunnyfolk," but still. You'd figure she'd patch things up or set things right one way or another, if there was actually an issue to begin with.

I'm all for attending court and teaching our little war monger to speak to nobility, courtmanners and such. You honestly can't expect to show up to a neighboring kingdoms land with army in tow without any proper declaration? It's just tacky. You gotta learn how to do things in style! I'm talking wreath of severed diplomats' heads with a properly calligraphic titled letter declaring war!
Anyway good game is good. It's certainly has a niche visual appeal but get beyond that and this game suddenly becomes a complicated strategic game. Every little choice you make always has the opportunity to bite you in the ass. Also skill checks are a bitch.

Looks like +2 Anger, and we're never going to gain the Yielding bonus. I'd suggest we just plan on studying accounting without it.
As for this weekend, I don't even care any more.
Analysis: Attending Court and Exploring Castle would probably get us back on track to Yielding, but I honestly doubt we can go a week without something screwing up our attempts to obtain the Yielding state (it would currently take two weekends to get Yielding, without incident). Let's face it: Axependable is just too hot-headed.

One minor observation (it's not really going to help that much, but still); some of the weekend events have variable effects. Attend Service, for example, acts to bring the first two mood categories (Anger/Afraid, Depression/Cheerful) back towards neutral by giving a -1 to them if they're the dominant mood... I think.
As we have made no progress on acquiring our magical birthright yet, it may be more sensible to stick with good, old-fashioned militarism, intrigue, and warfare skills to rule the realm
So, after that rambling thought process, I'd go with an Explore Castle this time around. It won't make a huge amount of difference this coming week, though, as nothing can stem the unquenchable tide of royal fury at the moment.

Axie can stop being enraged because we put her in a tutu and start being enraged because there are Ichxthixians that still draw breath.
And/or because we haven't declared war on one of our own duchies yet.

So with a possible mood switch on the horizon, it'd make sense to use the bonuses that we do have at present; so it may be worth grabbing some extra training in Logistics and... Archery maybe? Those are in the two categories that Angry boosts, so if we're stuck with it we might as well make the best of it for now.

For now though, let's go Visit the Dungeons. We'll finally get our Yielding that way, and push the idea of angry out of our head.

Since it seems that the evil yieldist party will win, i change my vote to attend service. (That will make us yielding), and i reccomend the yieldist to do the same. Attend court/dungeons will only make hard to restore the equilibrium later.

Hedging my bets, whichever of Attend Court or Visit the Dungeons gets the most votes. I'd like to see us get the yielding modifier at least once during our reign. I can't be the only one who doesn't own this game and actually wants to see the facial expression yielding, right?
Elephant Parade and birdy51, one of you better show yourself to be yielding if you want our princess to be so.
Add Attend Church to list of "I vote for the highest so it wins". I can do that right?
Also add: Please form consensus Yielding Party. We don't want to see Angry elected just because we can't agree. Agreeing with everything yielding is the true spirit of Yielding. ;D

Quickly, while we're willing to give in to bullshit, learn how to assert yourself! You know, not with any of the other emotions. Hrrrm.I was wondering about that. Presence doesn't seem like a skill that should be boosted by Yielding.
The other two make sense, though. I guess the developers figured that they needed to group it with something, and that was just the only group left.

However, I personally would rather not risk a failed check, now that we finally have little miss Yielding.. With the Festival possibly coming up, it may be worth actually making little Axspendable somewhat social. We did a good job on Presence, now we just need her to be better at say, Composure and Public Speaking, as both might come in handy if we decide to address the plebians.

Also, humiliation.

Why do I have the foreboding feeling that the only speech being delivered any time soon will be our eulogy?Don't be silly. Your father's just being overconcerned. Certainly, he's probably just worried about losing his only daughter so soon after losing his wife, but it's not like we've made any prominent enemies, right? I mean, it's not like we thoroughly crushed one of our neighbours in a fair fight, accused a prominent and powerful local noble family of sullying their hands with the murder of the baseborn (even if they totally responded by slitting the throat of another one in court), nearly got the much-doted-upon daughter of another prominent local family killed trying to protect us because we couldn't hold still for five seconds, implicitly accused another prominent foreign noble of pedophilia...

Scandalous might bring possible ire of someone interested in us.
Younger boy means possibly a sweet guy with extra snake-y mother/father who will plot everything to get us chewed from the throne.
Around our age... hmm.
Older boy might be someone who is 16 and actually interested in and also might mean 25 guy who is gonna stab us just to get our throne.

I want to pick someone our own age. But that is the obvious choice, and who I would send as an assassin. But then some guy older then us is probably a pedophile, and if we pick someone younger then us then we are the pedophile. If we pick someone married then we are probably breaking some unspoken code, which will get us a knife in the back. If we pick someone scandalous same thing. So no matter what we are screwed.
Pick someone older then you. That way there might be some political benefit.

Our intrigue is 60. It's clear that's not high enough for anything. I think we should focus on that - get at least 50 in all of those and all of the military ones - and then worry about other stuff, instead of jumping around like a drunken kangaroo, utterly insistant that we never ever want to pass any test ever again.

This is why I keep pushing for Intrigue! We are failing everything
Kind of agree. Never played the game, but it seems pretty clear that there aren't going to be many military challenges this early in. I suggest we focus on social and intellectual skills. Maybe do one training of reflexes once since it has a high bonus right now and is so close to 50, then refocus and train some skills that will obviously be useful. We're a Queen. Public speaking, foreign affairs, world history, courtly manners...skills like these might not be very exciting skills, but they're obviously going to be important, and we've been slacking on them.
Also, I wonder if maybe we're focusing too much on the lumen. It seems like it will take a lot of effort to get into the treasure and get the thing, and then once we have it we'd need to spend a lot of time training with it. I wonder if it might be better to simply skip magic and take a different path. We don't need to be Lizzy Shinkicker, and there seem to be plenty of other paths we can take.

Magic may not be mandatory, but there's PLENTY of reasons to keep after it! I mean, we're single-minded, we've already worked our hardest to fail at noble interactions, we've plunged the world into darkness with ignorance, and the assassins WILL come.
So, if we're going the socially awkward introvert who knows a little too much about weapons, wars, and gossip route, we may as well back it up and be a magical introvert rather than a normal one.

But we do manage to get through the ball without being magic missiled.
Of note this weekend: Visiting the Barracks gives +1 Pressured and nothing else. This holds the pattern for Barracks being tied to your highest emotion on the lowest half, since at the moment we don't have any.
Attend Service, on the other hand, still gives -1 Angry, despite Pressured being higher. Evidently it works differently than I had assumed.

She's actually tied on all four emotions, with Angry winning out presumably due to Left->Right superiority.

For those who've played: I'm concerned that this is the sort of game where once you've played through a few times, you pretty much know what is going to happen. Is that true, or is there some randomness to the events to keep us guessing?

For those who've played: I'm concerned that this is the sort of game where once you've played through a few times, you pretty much know what is going to happen. Is that true, or is there some randomness to the events to keep us guessing?
Yes and no. There are regular weekly events that consistently happen every time on a given week. But having put in a 5 hour binge today, my impression is that while there is no randomness, I'd say the overall design philosophy was Guide Dang It (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GuideDangIt).
First off, while yes there are a bunch of completely gauranteed X happens on week Y events, there are also a bunch of absolutely crazy-nested situations where X happens unless Y, except on Tuesdays in which case X still happens, but it happens to your neighbor instead, unless you previously married your neighbors niece to your second cousin, in which case Z happens, and that triggers Y to happen a week later instead. I've been consulting a guide, and there are some things that there are just no way you could reasonably be expected to figure out without playing the game dozens of times and taking copious notes of your skill values and which events happens on every given day.
Secondly, while the game usually tells you which skills are being tested, it doesn't tell you what values are needed to pass a test. It also doesn't specify when only one of a group of skills are required, and when several are required. So if you see a test in which skill X fails and a test for skill Y fails, and then you die...and skill X is at 50 and skill Y is at 30, not only do you not know how high you need to raise those skills, you don't know whether you need to raise only one of them or both of them. And in some cases there are joint skill tests, where the required value is the combination of multiple skills. So there are cases where even if you raise a skill to 100, it's still not enough, because you need a net value greater than 100 combined from multiple skills. Figuring all of the required values through trial and error would be horribly painful. And to make it worse, events often contain multiple paths, so that whether you pass or fail a skill test determines which of two dialogue paths you get, each of which has their own skill tests. So if even if you save every month and find out you need skill X on week Y, then restore from a previous save and train X, you then might pass the test only to discover that you also need skill Z. And in some cases no path results in death...but instead affect things that do or don't happen later in the game, so figuring out whether you even want to pass or fail those tests in the first place isn't always obvious.
Third, in some cases there are some absolutely crazy skill requirements to trigger certain, that even looking at the guide that tells me exactly what I need to trigger the event, I'm still having difficulty because getting those values in time is non-trivial.
So, the game seems to be not random at all...but unlike Princes Maker where after you play it a few times you get a sense of what to do, what not to do, and you generally know if X if your goal, what you need to do to accomplish it...here, there's mix of events that always happen every single time on a given week and other events that even if you trigger them...you'll have now way to know why they triggered or how to trigger them again. Too many event resolutions affect things that happen 20-30 weeks later to reliably make things happen the way you probably want them to.
At least, that's my view after ~5 hours of playing.

..Stepped on? I'm pretty sure we were actively jumping up and down stomping on them XD
Nono, that was just our efforts at dancing. It's easy to confuse the two though, since they may be exactly the same thing.
In any case, given the wealth of people that will want to see us dead, any choice is as good as another - at least this way we might get some advance warning of some of the things that are trying to usurp our throne. So let's add to the consensus on Noble Plots as the focus of the agents that we only just found out we had.

Our bonus for weapons from mood is just as high as our bonus to military stuff
Is it? Looks to me like we have +2.42/day for military skills and only +1.32/day for weapon skills. I'm not sure whether those numbers are net values, or whether the category bonuses are added to them, but our physical bonus is only +.188 and our intellectual bonus is +.266. So, if those are added, we'd be getting +2.686/day for military skills vs only +1.508 for weapons.
Either way, if we're going to train military skills, now would be an efficient time to do it.

Look carefully - the bonus to whatever is
Mood Modifier + .01 * points in skill group
So the more we work on a skill, the better our bonus, regardless of mood modifier... but working on a skill with a positive bonus might not always be an efficient way to spend our points since it would be even MORE efficient if we had the right mood.
Military Bonus is 2.42 - We have a +1 from mood, and a +1.42 for the amount of points we have in the field (ignoring our costume bonus, which doesn't seem to factor in).
Our weapons bonus is 1.32, or +1 from mood plus .32 for our 32 points in swords.
From a sheer efficiency perspective, there is no numerical advantage to working on Military stuff right now over weapon stuff.
Post by: birdy51 on January 03, 2014, 09:16:34 pm
Why? By grabbing dance, we shove it up at least about two levels in ranking. We may not need it often, but if we end up ever having to dance again with the Duchess we won't shoot ourselves in the foot.
That said... I am for training a weapon. Either Archery or Polearms, with my vote going towards using a bow. Swords won't save us from everything!
EDIT: We also now know the power of a Lumen Witch... I am glad we did not make this woman our enemy. Magic may have it's uses...

...mood bonuses don't stack? Hmm, ok. So we probably want to be training military or weapons right now. If so, I'd still propose we train 2x military strategy. That should be enough to put us at 100.

It doesn't look like it - going back through the updates (post-revelation), only looks like we've ever received a +1 mood bonus at most.I believe a few moods give +2 to certain skills, but most of them are +1.

We need to break the cap before we can get any further in swords, and that means archery or polearms first. And if we put points into them FIRST then we get MORE points when we do swords.

2x Strategy 1
Strategy 5
Swords 0(3)
Archery 2
Dance 1
Wasn't entirely sure how to count this, notably the double votes (traditionally I just use them as two votes for the suggestion, but that never results in doubling that skill). I'm fine with negative/conditional votes, but I'm inclined to count them as your actual votes; so when Elephant opposed swords I took that as shifting his vote.
All that being said, we had way, way more support for Strategy of some kind than anything else, so I figured that meant double strategy.

Resist and Wield Magic
(should raise them both to 10 - then we try to become willful. As seen in http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133170.msg4770723#msg4770723 this should give us a bonus to Lumen.
Then we train Resist and Wield magic again, which should get each of them to about 27, breaking their minimum thresholds.
And then we double-train sense magic until we are a magical lumen-ary! Oh yeah!

Yes, well. Then I suppose the magical beasties are making us let the executioner have you then.
By which I'd normally mean let the beasties in the executioner force him to do it, but he seems pretty adamantly cheerful about it just being him.

Killing him might make the demons escape and wreak havoc, after all! Or something.

Imprisonment does not imply that he will not be saved, nor that we will be able to help him, yet it gives him a chance to restore his life. While I wish that pardoning him might save him, it won't. But killing him probably won't end this issue.

Y'know, this would be a really excellent time to have an experienced witch on tap before making this very important decision. It's too bad we don't know anyone like that, much less one on good terms with the local priestess. Truly a pity that there's no way of checking in with someone before making what is probably an irrevocable choice that could lead to eternal damnation and centuries of darkness.This has pretty much been the theme of the entire game so far.

Surprisingly enough, I am compelled by the arguments and support the marriage option; after all, marriage is likely to still include a 'till death do us part' clause *, and since death is a certainty (like taxes - except our dear Princess didn't really have much of a clue about those, so maybe she can out-oblivious death too?), there's always a get-out clause if needed - right?

Yeah, but Elodie will be 16 when the boy is 14. Or 18-16. So yeah, not really a big deal.
Still fun to marry someone a bit younger, plus our children will inherit the crown and whatever lands that entails, our father's duchy (assuming we outlive him, heh), and now our husband's duchy. So more consolidation of power. Plus, the boy is already used to taking orders from others, so he won't have any trouble obeying his Two Year Older Queen-Wife totally and completely.

Dogs x1
Wasn't entirely sure how to handle the "double this, or I guess double that" votes, so I just split them. The results aren't quite enough for double Ciphering.

A quick glance reveals no DLC for sale. Guess they just figured they'd add a bit more.
Further testing reveals Skip Ahead seems to serve the same function as just clicking the screen. I guess they just wanted it to be more obvious and formal.

Post by: GlyphGryph on February 13, 2014, 05:11:42 am
Right now we are geared for magic and intrigue, and its worth continuing putting points in both of them I think. Cipher and Wield magic.
Once we"ve got the intrigue costume, I think we should focus on information gathering for a bit - foreign intelligence, internal affairs, and sense magic.
We have already failed, what, two sense magic checks? I have a sneaking suspicion that knowing when we're supposed to wield/resist magic is going to depend first on figuring out what magic is what happening - all of our abilities we've learned seem to be active rather than passive, after all!

Hopefully I'll get in to weigh in for something we might /need/ next time - Also, might be worth noting that we had a tie-in between magic and swords - I don't think I've seen any cross skill references previous to that, but the existence of "summonable magic light swords" might be something we want to keep in mind. I don't know if our previous shooting magic learn thingy might tie into archery, but with the recent "Trade PLUS Logisitics" check, I'm reminded that at some point we are going to want to consider the importance of synergies.
Don't care about the choice in front of us, but I guess I'll go with...
Send Aid - For all we know, we have PLENTY of money! After all, we refused every previous request for cash aside from hiring the musician, right?

You can have a reason for doing things other than "I didn't feel like staying true to the spirit of a blind play". Provide an actual argument for why people should vote the same way that isn't "because I looked ahead".

For instance, "by leveling our mood down to as close to neutral as possible, we can more efficiently adjust our mood to apply the bonus to whatever skills we want at that moment." The big crisis points right now are Anger and Willful; either the Tomb or Court will help with that.Last time I explained the reason for my vote, people who'd already voted to do it changed their vote to something else because this is a blind play and they didn't want to vote for things that had reasons.

Sure, I'll justify my vote. I'm still pissed we stopped going court and accounting/presence to trick the guards into letting us in the treasury. I'm still bitter about the dead guards. And so I'm now actively sabotaging this LP by voting court, against the wishes of those trying to build up magic power. Justified. :'(
Why anyone else would be voting court, heh, I'm truly baffled. Besides, since when do people have to justify their decisions in a Let's Play anyways? :P

Change my vote to this. Not because it's efficient or anything: Just because they have such synergy in learning how to spy on the realm.

Oh yeah, we should definitely go.
Nothing could possible go wrong with this course of action!
But more seriously we should probably not go if we want to live. This just sounds ripe for ambushes, assassins, and politics, and we're not super good at dealing with any of those things really...

Either way it has potential for utility and hilarity.
Anyway, you should probably stay home. After all, this Gwenelle character, despite being your friend at school, hasn't written, called, Facebooked you or anything this last half a year or so, despite your suffering terrible tragedy and inexplicable decision to wear a catsuit and monocle.
While at the same time someone you barely know keeps writing to you and saying "You should totally go to this sweet party!"
They're probably just hoping you'll show up to liven things up, so why not leave them hanging? (Not literally, unless they also commit treason. Otherwise that'd just be excessive.)

Actually double votes are counted twice for that category, if I recall right. So its a bit useful to use if you really just want some skill trained, even if just once, as it gives you two votes for it.In that case...

Either I counted wrong or they edited after I'd already counted it.
The results come out even, so I'd assume the latter.
IronyOwl: Can we get an update on the spoiler status of this LP? Maybe a poll on whether spoilers should be allowed? Maybe include an option of "spoilers after we die X times" in addition to "yes" and "no".I guess we could do a poll or something.
My personal preference would just be for those in the know to disguise their true intentions, though. It's kind of hard to figure out who's going "Ooh this looks ominous, I'll bet there's assassins" and who's going "Ooh I remember this part, can't wait for the assassins," so I've been kind of hesitant to try to shush people.
I would prefer they let other people experience the surprises they got in roughly the same manner they did, though. Ominous spoilered chatter implies something's going on, but I would think would be a good compromise between those who want to enjoy the game and haven't played it yet and those who want to enjoy the game and have.
I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinions, though.

I'd suggest maintaining the status quo until the first death, then open it up to spoilers. As complicated as some of the late-game conditionals are, I suspect that even with spoilers we're still unlikely to get a succesful win on our next attempt.

What if everyone who didn't mind being spoiled started having parallel, irrelevant conversations alongside their on-topic posts? So spoilery choices can have spoilers and not look any different from insignificant choices having discussions about cheese.

We should decide what skills we want to work on to minimize our chance of death or disgrace, and then pick the action that leads to the mood that boosts that.
If we're worried about the actual party, we might want to concentrate on our sorely neglected social skills or more internal affairs.
If we're worried about getting there, we might want to focus on more directly survival-oriented abilities, like running and reflexes or even weapons.
Personally, I consider the first situation as a lost cause, so I'd say we should focus on the second. I think "anger" gave us a bonus to weapons and athletics and agility (... actually, that might not strictly be true. 2 of the 3 maybe?), so I'd argue we should push for that bonus now.
We can totally get angry today, so SPORTS.

Post by: loose nut on February 24, 2014, 04:49:44 pm
Okay, so, looking back, angry gives us Weapons and Military, and weapons seems less useful than, say, reflexes. Of course it doesn't give any penalties either to anything useful, which is nice, but neither does willful.
So... better than willful, but not by much. Can we get anything else that might be even better? What do we need for agility or athletics?
Afraid*, which ain't happening soon. (I wound up getting this game on account of this thread. Since then I've been staying out of making decisions here, except for now.) If she plays with toys she *might* get Cheerful, but I'm not at all sure. I haven't figured out how mood ties break down.
Go to court. Stabilize her moods. She gets no particular bonuses from having Willful cranked all the way up, as opposed to just being "more Willful than anything else." She will wind up being Angry anyway from this.
*amendment: Afraid only helps Agility; I'm forgetting what helps Athletics atm...
**aha! It's Pressured. and Cheerful.

Personally I haven't been voting because it's moderately complicated to look up what the consequences of any of the activities are, and moving the meters to make a particular skill more efficient doesn't mean that anyone will vote to train that skill. And if I were going to vote purely baed on aesthetics, I'd be voting to play with dolls every week, so that she can at least have some fun before she dies.

You mistake my meaning! The peasants are fodder for our army, in that their drafting feeds our ranks. If we pardon the criminals, it's likely that they'll do a lot of looting, thereby pissing off the peasants we like drafting, and they might then decide it'd be better to do things like become bandits that assassinate rulers or something.This.

Actually, have you considered than 100 in strategy may not mean "We're the reincarnation on Sun Tzu and Gengis Khan ine ONE BODY!!", but "We're as good as a 15-year old that never served or saw a battlefield and couldn't tell a gun from a sword 7 months ago is going to get"? We're not Napoleon, we're a teen that took Strategy 101.This might be a good point, but look at our Reflexes. At 80 we're apparently able to run a gauntlet of dodgeballs; Lumen is harder to quantify because MAGIC, but seems similarly impressive. Unless they're using wildly different scales, I would expect 100 Strategy to be fairly impressive.
And they might have real generals.
Plus, and perhaps more importantly, we're wearing a snazzy outfit and no helmet. We're clearly a hardcore boss.

Logistics is our weakest military skill, so we should work on that a bit. I'm also 63~% certain that Ciphering will come into play sooner rather than later, so let's improve that as well. Our soldiers may capture enemy messages or letters or something, and we'll want to be able to read them.

Logistics and Wield magicOf course, we just lost the mood bonus that gave bonuses to both, which means improving magic here would be best left until we got back into a willful mood. So doubling down on logistics would make the most of our angry mood right now.

I hope none of our opposition are wizzards though. :/Indeed. Having to deal with the Eighth Spell and worse, the Luggage might be too much for our entire army to bear.
To be fair, though, we know that Lumens are not well-regarded in Nova. The only open Lumen noble is working for us, and...well, any secret Lumens that may or may not exist among the rebellion or in their employ aren't likely to give away their secret unless they absolutely have to as a matter of survival, given the likely reaction to them doing so. Remember how our own father, who married a Lumen, reacted to the Duchess of Ursul, after all.
Post by: GlyphGryph on March 03, 2014, 04:28:36 pm
Unless there's situations where we can screw up bad enough to fight the Duchess I guess.
I do agree that with the general distaste for Lumen any secret mages they have probably wouldn't use their magic... but if we used our magic, I'm not sure how long that would be true, is what I'm saying.

LB, See my post - we get a bigger boost if we change out of our outfit into the magical one and train military, don't we?
Bonus to which?
Scanning back through to page 79 of the thead (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133170.msg5040839#msg5040839). Our base strategy skill without military uniform is 94.7. And base naval strategy is 66.8. So if we train strategy + naval strategy and switch to the lumen outfit we end up with:
Strategy 100
Naval 66.8 (76.8 )
Logistics: 100
Sense Magic: 70. 8 (80.8 )
Resist Magic: 48. 0 (58.0 )
Weild Magic: 79. 9 (89.9 )
Whereas if we keep the uniform and train resist + weild we end up with:
Strategy 94.7 (100 )
Naval 66.8 (76.8 )
Logistics: 100
Sense Magic: 70.8
Resist Magic: 62.95
Weild Magic: 94.85
The two results are very similar, but with your method we end up spending at entire training period to get ~5 actual points in a skill for the purpose of maxing it to make our uniform bonus avaiable in something else, whereas with my proposal we end up with either of strategy and weild magic able to be maxed by wearing a uniform, without spending the extra training weeks to do it.
I can justify either decision. Depends on what our goals are. I don't understand why anyone wants to train polearms though. I would certainly rather do what you suggest than that.
Post by: BishopX on March 03, 2014, 08:06:00 pm

We want to train polearms so that we can get more than 50 points into either of the other weapons skills.
Why? We already hashed this out some 15-20 game weeks ago. We don't really need both weapon skills and magic skills. I was the one who suggested we go weapons, but everyone else wanted to go magic, so we went magic. Why go back and train weapon skills now that we're an accomplished lumen? We're a queen. We'll be commaning battles, not leading the front lines. All we need personal combat for is honor duels and things, and magic should cover us there.
It seems wasteful to spend time training to poke people with pointy sticks when we can disintegrate them with our mind.

Still... wait... did we lose less in a civil war than we did driving the fishmen from Blondie's estate? As in, a little over a fourth as much, while inflicting six times that number on the enemy?
Goddamn, Arisse. You really did not do your homework on this one.

Yes, very loyal, I'm sure.
Then again, if anyone was fighting because they genuinely believed we were weak and incompetent... well, at diplomacy and negotiation and technological advancement, sure, but most certainly not in war, mmm?

HOWEVER, since the game mentioned "There are no more rebel soldiers, they are all your loyal servants now", didn't we also gain the remnants of the rebel army (2 1/2 battalions and 2 platoons)?
Check the barracks and see if we did increase our army size by ~50% through this victory.

It's perfectly possible that we can use those skills to start another war with someone else this time! :D

Magic bonus is good, and we have no idea how much of it is about, sense magic!
Post by: Calech on March 05, 2014, 05:02:06 am
a) Any skills that have limited usage (ie. are only rolled for once or twice) are statistically likely to now see no use
b) Any skills we do need to use need to be at a high level, probably near maximum, because that's how late-game stuff typically rolls with skill checks (based on prior CRPG experience).
So in other words we should probably maximise the skills we think we'll need to use, and we've got just about enough time that we could maybe fill out another skill if we haven't started to invest in it.
That said, I'll place a vote for Resist Magic x2, since hardly anything has tried offing us with magic yet.
Spoiler: Justification (click to show/hide)
Post by: EuchreJack on March 05, 2014, 06:10:42 am
At least that is one argument.
I agree on needing maximal skills to succeed in late-game however. Probably best to max out those skills in the mid range and pray the skills with zero investment just don't come up. :P
EDIT: Wait-a-sec, we're only on turn 31, out of what appears to be 40, so we're not really in the endgame yet. Maybe pre-early-end-game?

I second this plan. Being able to actually talk our way out of a paper bag should be interesting. Obviously with a side of Divination and the like for fun.

I'm nearly certain that you can't avert the poisoned chocolates ahead of time. Either you have one of the skills that tips you off, you have poison training, or you die.The wiki says "Chocolates arrive (if you haven't eliminated /co-opted the sender):" so it's at least possible to be done (though I've never found the way to myself).

Please stop discussing unspoiled spoilers until we've established how we're going to handle them.SpoilersSpoilers in relation to spoilers
Speaking of which, I guess we should handle that now. I figure a nice official poll would be the best way, though we could also do a standard tally.
For the options, I was thinking the following:
Full spoilers, no limitations to discussion.
Full but still hidden spoilers. Anything's fine inside a spoiler tag, but nothing spoilery (other than the votes themselves) outside one.
Almost full but vague open spoilers, anything inside a spoiler tag. "Well we'd better get good at dogs or else" would be fine, "We need 45 Dogs or else we die on Week 32" would require a spoiler tag.
Nothing spoilery out in the open, vague discussions allowed inside spoiler tags. "We'll need dogs for the you know what" would be fine inside a spoiler tag.
No spoilers at all. Take it to the other thread, or make one if you don't want to necro it.
I'm sure there's some options or permutations I'm missing, and it might even be better to handle tagged and untagged discussions as separate items for voting purposes. Thoughts on this as the option lineup and a poll as the census method?

And yeah, that death was retarded. Seriously. Who eats food that's been sent from halfway across the land, anyway, in a setting without refrigeration?! Forget the whole 'assassins out to kill you at every turn' thing, those chocolates would have been rancid anyway.

I like keeping this more or less blind - I try not to vote on anything when I have enough information to know what the outcome of my vote will be, unless it's piling onto a general trend and I just want to post. Naturally, previous in-thread events are fair game. That's the primary gameplay mechanic, after all. There's a reason the protagonist starts out as a pink-haired, unexceptional girl who may be able to unlock unfathomable magical powers.

Elodie, why the actual fuck would you eat chocolates from a guy who murdered someone and left them in your living room?
The worst of it is how arbitrary the avoidance test is. Who would have guessed that training with dogs would allow you to escape poison?

We should probably make the in-spoiler text rule "heavy insinuations" given that more people voted for limits on spoilers. Given the closeness, it sort of makes sense to err on the side of the least spoilers.Mmm. This is true, though we're not sure which way some people would have leaned. Some of the "heavy implications" crowd might have chosen no restrictions given the choice between that and light insinuations.
Maybe we should hold another poll at some point.
Yeah, I'd suggest that straight spoilers ("X will happen in Week Y if we do Z", as opposed to heavy implications) are okay within tags, but should be marked as such in the tags.Marked how? Some sort of "Heavy Spoilers" or "Specific Spoilers" label?

We know dogs stops chocolate poisoning. We also know that there are a bunch of other skillchecks involved with the chocolates. We also also know that there are a ton of other skillchecks we've failed, including plenty of ones for the same skills as those associated with the chocolates checks. Skillchecks that are successfully completed obviously give access to parts of the plot which aren't readily available and are secondary to the central plot/motivation of "don't fuck up, live 'til 15"--aka subplots. Skills that could get us access to more of the story are more interesting than what is basically a one-shot skill, for obvious reasons. Literally everything there is derived from what we know.A lot of the more useful ways are also more interesting, because they involve digging up subplots.The way you phrased this sounds like a spoiler to me.

Having meditated on the wise adventures of Noble Sir Galahad, Bellodie has come to the realization that sometimes things happen, and when they do you just have to let those foul witches force you to give them all spankings and endure their apology baths and massages and then stay for dinner and it's already so late you might as well spend the night.
All of which ties in perfectly to being royal, pious, and historical, of course.

Remember that in order to bring skills above 50, we need to bring every skill in the group above 25!
Hopefully we'll spend a while in yielding and manage to get pretty fair in both groups before we leave.
Are we gonna be going for intrigue or conversation at all? I think Intrigue (to deal with our communication failures) or conversation (in an attempt to smooth things over and avoid the need for intrigue) are both worthwhile. Maybe even do both? Probably good to put some points into them early, I know there were plenty of checks from both groups last time, even early on (esp. internal affairs).
Also, we don't know what event is coming up. We just expressly guaranteed the previous event WON'T be happening again by throwing the witch in jail - she was the one who warned us about the snake and how we shouldn't move, remember?

It's useful in general, remember all those times we failed skill rolls for it? Plus, we can't be sure that the snake won't need composure- it's possible that someone else will be the person to sword it.

In vaguely related news, with 52 votes we have the following results for the witch's crimes:
40: Cursing Axie with that hideous dress!
34: Being a witch!
34: Not murdering ENOUGH guards!
32: Defacing that poor, innocent building!
29: Weighing the same as a duck! I assume! Well she's got the nose!
28: Weighing the same as a duck!
26: Murdering those guards!
22: Not listening to us!
21: Listening to us!
17: Something else!
As you can see, her most heinous crime appears to be the cursing of Crown Princess Axespendable with that hideous poofy skirt-thing. Trailing a bit behind that are the twin crimes of Being A Witch and Insufficient Guard Butchery, followed closely by the cold-blooded wounding of an innocent building.
Not far behind that, we've got what we assume to be her similar weight to a duck and clearly witchlike nose, followed very closely by her somewhat more scientifically proven weight relative to that of a duck. Not far behind that we've got the murder of innocent guards.
Trailing far behind that is the foul crime of not listening to us, followed very closely by the foul crime of listening to us. Trailing well behind in last place are other, presumably unspecified crimes.
This has been The Legal Structure of Nova with IronyOwl and Princess Bellodie's courtiers.

We have the best bonus possible for Trade/Production, and we're probably not going to get a bonus to Court Manners by the time we need it, which is why we should do it now. We will probably have plenty of opportunities to make use of our current bonus later on. These are checks that we can't put off if we can't a reasonable chance of making them, and I'm only putting one in each to maximize what bonus there is.

It wouldn't hurt us to get some manners, and since it's not a negative bonus it's not like we're wasting time. Trade because I'm mildly interested in seeing how Nova fairs with a printing press this time around.
Post by: Toaster on March 13, 2014, 11:07:50 pm
Except we failed a Foreign Affairs check first, not Trade. Negative on that though, so not training it is fine. I can see some appeal for trade, but I'm not convinced.
Also, two things.
1) A partial success that leads to game over? What's the point of that?
2) Considering this death screen:

Why Lore, though? We have a Foreign Affairs check coming up that same day (admittedly to only not look dumb in front of a servant) but I didn't see Lore in the next three weeks.
I went for lore because it has bonuses and I saw some support.
I would much rather we do presence instead of lore, now that I've got the majority of support at least going to SOMETHING with a bonus. We're supposed to be trying to be queenly this run, right?

Oh yes, and with 67 votes, we have Bellodie's tastes in candy:
45 Chocolate! WE REGRET NOTHING!
22 Sugar!
16 Strawberry!
14 Watermelon!
14 Nougat!
13 Vanilla!
13 Caramel!
12 Candy?! Bellodie hates candy!
11 Cherry!
11 Grape!
10 Lemon!
9 Orange!
8 Something Else!
So the overwhelming opinion appears to be that chocolate is worth the risk. The next highest option, sugar, has half its votes, and it's a bit more of a drop from there to the gradual slide of every other option. Strawberry is still noteworthy for being the highest fruit option, though.

Things unlikely to change in the near future:
Week 8, we get an offer to do the printing press. This is a check versus production and trade (I believe, just going by my previous post here).
Week 9 is when we get approached about the foreign Ixionite incursion. We have a foreign affairs check there, and maybe more we don't know about.
We know there is a foreign affairs check on the Ixion occupation of Imbrium, in Maree, and we'll be approached by Duke Banion about the issue. This is what we knew last time after failing our foreign affairs check.
There was another check, a military one, that we passed, but we can't be sure what it did exactly. Either way, we were then presented with an option:
War or Negotiate
I presume this time we'll be attempting to negotiate, so we'll be wanting relevant skills for that.
Composure, Presence, Flattery, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Intelligence, and Internal Affairs all seem like they could possible come in useful during negotiations. (Internal Affairs mostly to minimize any internal impact our decisions might have)
Now, sometimes I feel I'm the only one who actually bothers to read what we learn in our weekly lessons, but I'm guessing we might want to try for foreign affairs until we learn something useful about this area of our country, and then switch to one or more of the other options.
We get a bonus to History so long as we stay yielding, and a bonus to our regal queen-like skills. So we'll obviously want to make use of those. We'd need to get willful for intrigue, so that... probably isn't happening right now, unless we specifically intend on switching to it soon and prepare appropriately.
But getting lonely for the boost to Flattery is doable.
So I'm thinking this week we do Foreign Affairs/Presence again. See if we seem to get any info relevant to our coming foreign affairs check. If we don't, we repeat the week after with Foreign Affairs and Composure, and then we switch moods to whatever other skill we agree on and double slam it before the event.
Sound good?

IIRC there will always be one mood active. If all moods tie then one has a priority over the others.
If everything's at the baseline, her mood will be neutral. I'm pretty sure priority just goes left to right if all the hearts are lined up above or below the line.

And getting passed on the stairs (elegance and/or reflexes) comes before both.

Capitalist Princess > Hat PrincessRegardless of what we focus on this week we will still probably want to unlock the dress on week 8 at the latest though. It basically sinks an entire extra week of training into any sort of negotiations training we might be doing (week 8 to let us wear it prior to week 9).

Since the tie, we've got two taunt votes, two listen votes, two mutual negation votes, and two GM whim votes, which will hopefully negate one another as well. Just as an update for those of you who, like me, find this deadlock hilarious for no adequately explained reason.

What? How am I a hypocrite? I voted for the good option- as future Queen we mustn't let such an evil, dangerous monstrosity roam free in our realm. We need to all vote refuse and get this magical biatch executed as quickly as possible.Au contraire. As future Queen we need to ensure that all the evil monstrosities are in our service, learn from them, surpass them, and dispose of them when they fail us in some trivial way.

The fact that this unites Two of the biggest dukedoms of the realm in a single family doesn't spell doom at all.

Even if they had a single child, Nova law forbiddes inheriting more than one duchy. (God, i wish i could have this at the ck2. Such a convenient law).
Te second duchy goes to the closest relative/the crown.

Perfectly balanced is bad. Just balanced enough that we can change relatively quickly is good.No. No it isn't. "Just balanced enough" means every random event will decide our mood for us, instead of us. We should decide what we actually want to study, and then make sure we aren't going to slip out of the mood that boosts it at the first opportunity. Catering to the mass's complete lack of ability to remember what we were supposed to be doing by trying to stay in the middle only exacerbates our problems.

Except that events happen before we decide our mood-altering activities here, which means that we can decide to either keep the changes made by the events or reverse them. Still, I don't mind if you want to push Yielding up even more; just bear in mind that it won't be easy to reverse the other changes that you're making in the process.Perfectly balanced is bad.

Mmf. Truly, the life of a just and merciful overlord is a difficult one.
In other news, the results of the old poll have been tallied and a new one put in its place. :3
| Red | 31 |
| Gold | 26 |
| Black | 26 |
| Rainbows | 24 |
| Pink | 23 |
| Silver | 22 |
| Purple | 21 |
| Green | 17 |
| Blue | 17 |
| Teal | 16 |
| White | 13 |
| Orange | 13 |
| Yellow | 13 |
| Other | 9 |
The fairly broad consensus seems to be that Bellodie's favorite color is red, followed not too far behind by gold and black. Rainbows, pink, silver, and purple follow closely behind those two, before another drop, stretch of cooler colors, and a final drop to some brighter tones.

We were a bit distracted by our own imminent death, after all. Plus, we know she can blow pretty large holes in the walls of our castle with enough advance warning from our first run-through with the vault, so she probably doesn't really need a hostage to get out.
Spoiler: Significant Julianna spoiler (click to show/hide)
EDIT:
Oh, and it just occurred to me, it's funny you should mention that Elodie might be the only chance at the magical monarch Nova needs. We actually learned in this run-through that there may be another Lumen in the line of succession. Charlotte is implied to be a Lumen due to her magical healing powers, and if Elodie dies, will become next-in-line as her father Laurent becomes King; Juli might actually know or suspect Charlotte's ability, since she seems to have quite a few friends for someone out of favour with the regent, though there's no real evidence for that. On the other hand, this also results in Queen-Consort Lucille...

20 - Cats. Wearing a frilly dress and decidedly unhappy about it.
19 - Dolls. Wearing a frilly dress like a good girl.
17 - Dogs. Loyal and prone to saving her life if she'll listen.
14 - Chocolate. Irresistable but probably plotting her demise.
13 - Romance Novels. Hot, steamy, and dumb as hell.
12 - Stuffed Animals. Cuddly and twice her size.
12 - Teacups. Stately, refined, and likely to remain as they're told unless dragged off by a maid.
12 - Educational Materials. Actually the other thing in diguise.
11 - Dresses. Numerous and varied.
10 - Action Figures. Gallant, famous, and widely coveted.
6 - Frogs. Fun to catch, quick to hop away.
4 - Something else.

Still not that great at anything.

Still probably not what you'd call emotionally stable.
Nonetheless, it's class time again! What's up this week?
IN OTHER NEWS:
Chillodie will die...
33 To utterly predictable events.
30 Pointlessly but hilariously.
28 Soon.
24 To some infuriating blindside.
22 NEVER! She's gonna live! LIIIIIIIIIVE!
17 To more magical power than anyone should have to deal with.
16 Eventually!
14 To pointy objects.
14 Just as soon as I get around to it...
12 To poisonous things.
12 In some other manner or quality.
11 In a while...
The votes are in, and Chillodie's gruesome death will probably be soon, pointless, hilarious, and utterly predictable. A substantial minority trails with the opinion that she'll die to an infuriating surprise or not at all, and we've got the usual downward slope of theories after that.
For the curious, you may only select 12 options in the new poll. This isn't because I object to people selecting every single option, it's because the first poll only had twelve options and I didn't think to just set the max votes per person to 999 or something. Oh well!

The first time we had this event, we called the guards. And nothing of note happened. The guy(?) got away, and there were no skill checks that I could recall.
Climb! It might at least DO something, unlike calling the guards.

27 Executing everyone who can't dance
27 Declaring war on squares
27 Building ourselves a trusted crew
27 SCIENCE AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THOSE FOOLS LAUGHED AT ME AAHAHAHAHA!
25 Screw it, just burn it all
25 Abdicate, retreat to tropical beach. All problems solved forever!
25 TO THE CALIGULAMOBILE!
24 Leading by drunken example
21 Leading by lecherous example
18 Diplomatic... things, so ruinous you're not even sure she didn't plan this
17 Science!
14 Diplomatic success
13 Economic development
11 Economic ruin
6 Diplomatic ruin
3 Diplomatic failure
So there's an overwhelming consensus to rule on as a funky lich queen. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al8TlAtLu2Y) There's a fair stream of agreement to... well, to clean up the kingdom, as it were, along with various other

We won't get their titles if we kill them. Remember the rules? Only one piece of land per person, not counting influence that you may have as regent or cooperation in a marriage."Hey man, be cool, let me get you some new bling and we can forget all this hassle."
So, just to be clear, they are both the Duke of Hell and the count of Dystopia?
We need to kill them. These titles are too awesome to let pass.

Looks like it's either war or a major diplomatic incident, because we sure as hell aren't giving up that province!

We have literally zero presence - we couldn't bluff our way out of a wet paper bag.

Looks like it's either war or a major diplomatic incident, because we sure as hell aren't giving up that province!We could always try going the other direction. I've never tried it personally (so don't think this is OOC knowledge or anything), but I wouldn't be surprised if we could win their country as an ally or something by giving it up without a big hassle. It certainly seems like something they would throw into the game based on what we've seen so far.
