It exists due to narrative and meta-narrative reasons, build upon the Actions taken, and the stances taken, by the Federation and the thread respectively.

But didn't wouldn't a speech to the enemy go against this?
Like, she is going to show her face, not the actors. So to me it feels like it would just mess everything up and make the Voxxians believe we are a xenos empire coming to murder them all.
So to me that's the opposite that would happen if we did a speech to the enemy.

I'm... pretty sure that @HeroCooky said that the actor was going to be involved and people got confused.

That...is not what you voted for? She is going to give a speech, but will have a double act as "her" instead.
Edit: See?

I can't speak for everyone else who voted for talking with the enemy fleet but for me it is not about the morale, it is about telling those dogmatic motherfuckers exactly who they are dealing with, why they are going to get thrown back into Breskal and make sure everyone knows that a better way of life is being actively fought for in this apocalyptic mess of a galaxy.
And about the surrendering thing it is very unlikely since they are 5/5 Dogmatics fighting what they think is a empire of Xenos the most I think it could do is make people more eager to die.
Ah. I thought that since she was a maverick she would just ignore the plan and show her face from the get go.

This honestly is gonna backfire on us. I didn't vote, because we were caught up confused on things, but we'd have needed five more votes to do anything.

how are we going to convince the populace to surrender if they think they are being invaded by Xenos?

Weirdly if one person had shifted their vote, it would have been a tie.
The answer is that we aren't and have fucked up.

I still don't get the vote weight? Like, we wouldn't be trying to reach out to the enemy Admirals, we'd be talking to try to reach the people of the planet and the Soldiers and Sailors and so on... something we've been doing from the very start of our Infiltration?
Nope, the QM actively said that was not the case repeatedly! Your vote turned out to be the deciding one!

I would have thought the voting weight would be for giving a speech to the enemy? That sounds like it aligns with the mentioned focus on diplomacy. I honestly forgot it had a 0.25 weight, thought for some reason it was 1.25
If I had to guess, it's b/c the overall attitude of the thread and therefore the Federation has been to not make any official contact and treat the Van Zandt Free Duchy as vile villains to be destroyed and liberate their people.

Like, @HeroCooky , what is so unusual about us reaching out to the people of the system to give a speech? What about it is so contradictory to how we've spent dozens of actions reaching out to the people of the system?
Well... yeah? The point would not be to convince the Governor that he's a naughty boy, it'd be to get that speech playing illegally or illicitly across the enemy forces.

because the 19 option had a 0.25 multiplier which reduces it to 4.75.

People are not questioning the nature of the mechanics, but their validity. Duh.
It's b/c the Almighty Cookie decided that due to our previous disposition, the vote would be weighted against giving a speech to the Free Duchy, despite us having a human actor specifically for talking to them included in the plan.
