Let's not choose write-ins when there are perfectly viable options sitting around, yeah? I say we give her a chance without pissing her off by laughing in her literal face. Laughing in her face and THEN trying to give her a chance is hilariously stupid, just stick to the suggestions instead of trying to combine the laughter with giving Minerva a chance.

If it works out and she's sincere, that's the ideal situation for us. From what I've gathered of Hans and his character this is a prime situation for him to use her and then betray her himself later on. A friendly reminder that Hans is pretty much amicable evil in his goal and chosen methods.

If it IS a ruse or something and she backstabs us first, that's ok. That's exactly what the kouhai channel is for.

[X] Maybe... Maybe she's serious. You were just joking but maybe this could work out. Maybe she had an actual change of heart. This is a miracle.
 
[X] Say nothing. Do nothing other than walk past her. Make sure to reinforce your legs to get to your door before she can stab you in the back.

She spent the last year trying to kill us and I'd rather not hang around the person with our dead sisters face. I want to see how she acts around other people before we let her in striking range.
 
[X] Write in... That was... unexpected "I'm gonna be honest I didn't think you'd go for it, hell even now part of me thinks you're messing with me."
 
He was not serious. It's all bullshit.
Even the genuine attempt to befriend her? seems a little cruel to her. Maybe it's cause I just finished Nisemonogatari but for some reason, I'm thinking the fake is more real than the real because of it's deliberate attempt to be real.

I mean we are still technically under truce aren't we, while not impossible I don't think murder backstab is likely.

I was more being a bit meta, greedy and selfish in setting up for the next quest. If I wasn't being greedy I'd probably have gone with your vote.

The way I see it if Hans is the one to reveal he's joking first here then we have no way to trust him, if Minerva is the one to reveal she was joking first then we can beg and apologize later.

Even if she is fucking with us there's no way she'd dare to backstab us now. The worst that can happen is we get mocked.

If y'all let us crush a young woman emotionally just because you were scared of some harsh words, I will never forgive any of you.
 
Doesn't seem like it from where I'm standing. The votes for 'laugh at her' aren't really capable of having any motivation that isn't spiteful or cruel.
The idea of someone who has spent such a large amount of their life trying to murder him trying to not do that should initially be taken as a very obvious joke.
If you want to justify being a dick you can go ahead and try.
I don't, though I do rejoice in the emotional suffering of people.

We reached out to her first, we waived our right to pull the 'you tried to murder me' excuse on this one.

and I'm assuming that your line about rejoicing in suffering is sarcastic or exaggerated, because the alternative is for me to start making moral judgements about you, and I don't think you want that.

Actually rejoicing in people's suffering is monstrous.

Did you not see the initially portion of my statement? Or did I miscommunicate something?

I am exaggerating as I burnt out a lot of my emotions to stay sane and don't really have enough in me to rejoice that often.

My joy in the suffering of humans is a malicious trait yes.

My way of seeing it is, seeing someone take a joke about stopping their attempts to murder you seriously, when that has been a vast portion of their existence, should invoke laughter at the sheer absurdity for the concept.
Sure, if you're taking the concept in a vacuum. Unfortunately there's context at play here.

But whatever. I find your views to be amoral and unworthy of respect, and I find your vote to be at best a deliberate attempt to sabotage any chance of actual reconciliation.

I can understand people voting to ignore her they're scared she's luring us into a trap and is about to kill us because her sole purpose for living is to kill us. If you look at it as she isn't' really trying to win the war she's just using it to kill us it makes sense.

It's the Laugh at her votes I don't understand.

Ah. I'm not that great at understanding human emotions in the first place so the typical effects of said context is likely lost on me.
I find your views to be amoral
Likely.
and unworthy of respect
I would be concerned if anyone respected me.

I resent the accusation of deliberate sabotage. I may take joy in the suffering of people but I ask that you not mistake it for a proclivity for deliberately causing it.

People want to do things that make them happy.

and with the ways I can see the 'laugh' vote potentially playing out, the odds of an irreversible negative outcome are too high for me to see this as anything but a deliberate attempt to cause suffering.

You have motive and -most likely- means.

I am simply calling things as I see them.

Wonder of wonders that I'm aware that doing malicious things is not only stupid but I also take displeasure at the suffering of humans.

With that view of the outcomes and I'm going to assume your view of how obvious it is I can see how you jumped to the conclusion of malicious action.
More than I could ever say on this board.
and -most likely- means.
Probably.

I commend you for this.
 
There's a small chance that her offer isn't genuine, and there's also a small chance that she might be able to roll with it even if it is.

Both of those are possible positive outcomes.

However, both chances are far too small to be viable in my eyes.
Those aren't positive outcomes, at best those are neutral outcomes. That doesn't even consider the fact that whatever small seed of doubt we've planted in her would be crushed.
