Behind the Serpent Throne (CK2)

Reader mode
Hmm. @The Laurent If we take Envoy of the Army this turn, does its success chance change depending on how we did on related Court actions this turn, or do those only affect it starting from next turn?
 
[X] Plan: Prepare for trouble!

No time to launch my own plan this close to the finish, so just backing the best bet so far.

Gah, @Neptune, why ARE we just ignoring the hunting lead on the Emperor's death?

So far I only have six votes, so, uh, hoping for more!

You really need to reconsider posting the vote in spoilers without any other text.
Does not trigger alerts for word count. Which is a bit of a problem given how many threads post on the weekend and flooding it off the front page. I only JUST saw it.

I was worried about that last turn, but then someone said that they were updated with 3.1k or something like that, so I thought they'd fixed the spoiler-update problem.

Because the last time it was available it was only 35% so it would need two dice, and honestly I kind of dislike the Emperor options. It has the feeling of protagonist syndrome, when in a court this influential the Emperor's death should have been investigated again and again months ago by more skilled individuals than Kiralo either by those in power to see how exactly he died and what went wrong or those who aren't as influential in case there were discrepancies that they could use to exploit to garner power. This is particularly true if a court has a department of secrets.

So those options I can see only telling us what those in power already know, that our father likely already knows. The most shocking news would be that Kuojah himself arranged it for whatever reason, as if it was anyone else or another faction I imagine he would have gone after them and frankly I like his character.

There is an explanation for this, actually. But suspecting something is wrong is not the same as being able to prove who did it.

More importantly prove it by acceptable means.

I'm personally guessing that the Department of Secrets has a fair idea who did it, but they are too powerful to act on directly, and exposing their sources would be terminal to the Department of Secrets. So they get someone who DEFINITELY is not involved in the murder plot by dint of being too far away, to do a little simple outsider's point of view to unveil the plot.

Alternatively you ignore the lead that the Department of Secrets strongly suggested that you follow previously.
And assume they'd just leave you be?
 
Changing my vote then.

[X] Gaining the Emperor-Army Liason position

Plan Prepare for trouble is just.... bad. It only spends a single die on Wooing the Hari-Bueli, A War In Your Head and Building the Case when these could all use an extra die. Same for Hunting Buddies, with its unknown success chance. It's just taking too many risks. I'm pretty sure it also only spends 8 of our 9 Influence.

@Gingganz Since I'm no longer voting for my own plan, would you be willing to change your vote as well?
