Thank you for you confidence, but this is not going to work.
We had very little faction talk which I happily admit is hard to do without revealing.
I think a vote on coju is just wrong. No one has a read on him. Unless you feel like acting this is D1, I have a hard time understanding why people couldn't make a more informed decision than a blind vote.
But as always, this doesn't take into account of they have information the other players don't.
Two thing to point out for my next available thinking session:
- either there has been a vote, Skjolde participated, and his vote could have led to this situation (e.g. for or against war: against. Then troops are not ready when Caesar arrives, and loyal Romans have to get away).
- or there has been a stealing action, that put Caesar into rage & fury, making him invading the city (not enough time to build things now, I'm really late, but you get the idea probably)
- obviously anything else, but...then that could be a lot of things.
In the end, the only real thing that I see here, is that some are Romans, some are Caesar's (the scummy faction?), and maybe the Eagle holder could have an additional wincon?
See you all later!

I think that is pretty spot on. Knowing the tv show it's basically focused on the caesar era and his demise. And since the man didn't die of old age, it is clear that we have atleast 2 factions, for and against caesar.
What I really want to know with that standard is the quiz by d2dc that started it.. was it a trigger by someone deliberately starting it or something we said in the thread or what?
I still haven’t seen the show, but reading some script summaries I assume two factions (JC and Pompey?) with a few peeps whose wincons could go either way. EG I assume Pullo needs to survive and sleep with as many people as possible, and Mark Anthony could win with either faction depending on choices.
Per the Eagle quiz, my read is that @Skjolde won it. Anyone else have theories to correct me? the Eagle probably gives you some sort of one shot survival thing, or extra push to your faction. (In the show, Pullo is on death row, recovers the Eagle from Pompey’s people, doesn’t get murdered. Sweet deal?) @D2DC clearly said ‘reward’, so I doubt winning a silly quiz would trump voting power?
Per voting, if we again look at the show:
JC to his peeps “Pompey and the Senate have formally declared that Gaius Julius Caesar is an enemy of Rome. They have declared that I am a criminal. They have declared, in effect, that all of you *also* are criminals. Tribune's veto was not exercised. People's tribune Mark Antony and 50 men of the 13th were assaulted by 1000 head of Pompeian scum”
So I accuse @Skjolde of being A Ponpeiian who believes Gorny is Pompeii, and is supported by @Zhao_Yue
And me? A harmless Roman who believes Pompey’s faction will start a civil war which would be bad for business.
All that before I’ve had my morning coffee! Let’s go!

Is that a knife in your hand or are you just happy to see me?
I actually like your analysis. Lots of good stuff in there.I still haven’t seen the show, but reading some script summaries I assume two factions (JC and Pompey?) with a few peeps whose wincons could go either way.

- I won the quiz
- I will NOT reveal what I won. That remains to (maybe) be seen.
- I will not reveal my feelings towards Caesar, but I will say that I am far from having the status of that of a Senator.
- I do indeed have an idea who Gorny is, but I do not believe him to be Pompey
