... There we go! You're keeping the revelation of 17 and 18 kinda under wraps and have absolutely no problems with the current Unsealing plan.
Just to be clear, that's the outcome of a vote in which four people voted "no" and six people voted "yes, I have a problem" but couldn't coordinate on a plan?
Because while I'm prepared to acknowledge that "you don't suggest a different plan" is an accurate reflection of the vote for purposes of character action...
"You have no problems with the plan" is very much NOT an accurate representation of the vote for purposes of character attitudes. "You are troubled" or "you have vague misgivings" or "you're not sure how to do things any better and don't know who to ask for help or advice" would all be much more accurate.
The vote was on "do you oppose the plan" not on "do you have a problem with the plan Y/N" I am extremely confident you've had the experience of being troubled about a plan or thinking something was wrong with it, without having a better idea or without being sure
which idea would be an improvement
And yes, I'm taking you literally, on the "absolutely no problem" interpretation. Because
without the "discussion informs character attitudes," card in play... Well, QM interpretation of votes is the only way for the questgoers to have any affect on the character's opinions. Having the QM overbroadly interpret a plurality vote of "no, I will not oppose the existing plan" to mean "the character is happy with the situation and has no problems with the plan" is... kind of a problem in that case and should be noticed by the players.
Kinslayer Jaffur doesn't have a nice ring to it, that's for sure.
e:
I really wish we'd had this discussion before voting closed. We could have actually made plans around this, like maybe talking over the whole "killing Dandeer will fuck Jaffur up" thing with Apra, so we could get our plans straight before we go public, but now Kakara's got
I'm going to be up-front with you, I agree that the "no problems" thing is bullshit. While only ten people voted on PLAN, and nothing drew a bandwagon, it was pretty obvious that of those voting, there was not a majority in favor of 'this is a great plan I am totally happy with.'
I don't really agree. If I potentially had the power to stop someone I know from dying and did nothing, it'd fuck me up, and from my impression Kakara's mindset is much stronger in that direction. It's not just a no-killing preference, it's a no-dying one.
"Even those who don't want to be" kind of implies to me that her position is relevant on a societal level as well.
That said, Kakara
not opposing the current un-Sealing plan is not equivalent to Kakara "doing nothing to stop Dandeer from dying."
It is very likely that we're going to have opportunities during the execution of the plan to do things that affect the likelihood of Dandeer living or dying. The big issue isn't "will we have a chance to at least try to avoid her death," it's "will we
succeed in avoiding her death," which is a very different order of problem.
[Though admittedly the existence of a faction of voters who actively wants Dandeer dead or doesn't think that 'Protector' should mean Kakara has to try very hard to argue for her survival complicates this picture]
