"Thirdly, the Doomguard should pay a security tax for compromising Sigil's defenses in time of war. I am sure I do not have to remind you all of the chaos which the . . . fey situation. . . has already visited on the city."

From the main thread. Arwyl Swanson himself claims "time of war". So, if the Harmonium / Mercykillers / Factions compare this incursion to a time of war, then this is a state of emergency? Or was he simply being too enthusiastic in his wording of what is now being called a

The fey matter is a background point of interest.

I'm sorry, this is just genuinely perplexing.

  Why are people acting like there is no evidence that the doomguard caused violence in unsigil

Rather, I brought this up in the IC thread in Ea'ral's little outburst, the fact that, whilst the fight is rather undisputed, it was on non Faction ground, so Faction laws cannot be applied to it? Or rather, should not be applied to said situation. The Doomguard, rather, seem to be getting the brunt of a punishment, they have no reason to deserve? Unless the Harmonium now own Undersigil. In which case they're doing a pretty bad job of protecting it given there's loads of bandits there still.

I don't want to sound confrontational or anything, but some decisions don't seem to add up.

If this is a power play, in a political manner, to curb the Doomguard's power ICly, that's perfectly fine, just a bit of backroom skullduggery, but to the outside eye, it seems like an abuse of power on the Harmoniums part.

EDIT: Sorry if I'm a little late with these observations since this seems to have moved on to a point where the discussion is about the bazaars ownership. I just thought I'd bring it up incase this sort of thing is being overlooked. It's not like I have a member of any of the Factions who are actually concerned with this.

Lots of people have been involved. Lots of people haven't.

Everyone has stated their concerns! The mention of other events in Sigil is not there to make anyone feel left out. However, I've said how its going to be treated in this plot. I'd rather not have to lock a thread which we need for OOC communication because we got bogged down in a minor point.

[*MimiFearthegn]

Sareth, I understand that you're new to the plot. I think it would be entirely acceptable for you to have Ea'raldor get caught up on the in game events by talking to his fellow Sensates about the matter, in character.

[*Mr_Otyugh]

Why'd the laws not apply in the Under Sigil? :P The fact that it's unenforced doesn't mean that it's unobserved. Same as the Hive is hardly a safe place to travel through, and criminals are likely to slip with their crimes, but if they are caught of course they get put on trial. I mean if all it takes to blow raspberries to the laws is to descend the ladders... well you know. Besides if it wasn't observed by laws then there'd have been no prisoners XD just death, because laws protection goes both ways. So you'll rather want it to be laws observed and unenforced.

[*MimiFearthegn]

Ok! The thread is open again!

As you will note, in the interests of time, some of the voting has been fast forwarded through. I know you'd have all written great speeches, but I think its time to move on to the part that had had less IC discussion - the practical fate of the bazaar.

The thread will be open for the next couple of days for the factions to give their speeches! Same rules apply as before!

- Keep OOC discussion here
- One speech per faction

Currently the plan is to reach a conclusion by Wednesday night, but I can be flexible. Feel free to reach out to me in PM with any concerns, clarifications, or if you want to run something past a factol.

**********************
And just to set everyone's minds at rest, despite the bluster of NPCs and PCs alike, no PCs will face any IC retributive action over the vote. Consequences on the Doomguard will be suffered by NPCs only.

Well, that's one way of rushing the Doomguard into another moral defeat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But atleast the Harmonium pulls out, so I guess its even. :P

Do we still get to post ICwise, as the matter of an imprisoned Doomguard battalion is still unresolved?

[*MimiFearthegn]

Well, that's one way of rushing the Doomguard into another moral defeat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its how the players involved asked their factions to vote in the end. If we'd done speeches, it would have come out the same way.

[*Tomekk]

Yes, we're the flavor of the month villains, I get that. :lol: Are we still allowed to continue debating tho, as Doomguard prisoners' fate has yet to be resolved and my character isn't keen on letting that be brushed under a rug.

[*MimiFearthegn]

Do we still get to post ICwise, as the matter of an imprisoned Doomguard battalion is still unresolved?

The part about the Doomguard getting back the battalion in Harmonium custody was defeated.

But! As it is a new round of voting, the Doomguard definitely get to say stuff about the fate of the Bazaar. Since I haven't gotten to talk to you much, do PM me if you'd like Ra'zeth to make a speech. :)

[*Hydra]

Is posting a reaction worth a speech for the faction ? If yes I'll edit mine.
