Is anyone else confused by the behavior of the queens?

If this is a recruitment game, shouldn't they be sucking up to players and not antagonizing them? One person stepped away from the rest of the game today because of the stupid restrictions. I basically stopped posting Day 1 because I was sick of having to use pictures. If you want me to join your team, I don't think a good strategy is to make the game tedious for me.

Of course, we don't know what restrictions they are under but the whole thing seems strange and a losing strategy, and yet BOTH are doing it.

I gotta figure they know who are in their groups and yet they aren't giving any help as to identifying the opposing faction. I just find it bizarre.

Me did notice that you implied that you turned down a queens attempt to recruit you. I thinks that is quite a statement to make.

I did indeed turn down all offers received last night. I'm not certain it was a queen though. I think one might have been from a fellow human. But it used magic in the offer so....??

"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?"

I'm reviewing the thread, trying to find things that stand out to me, and Tellan's claim that more than one person attempted to recruit him did that. I'm curious why he thinks one might have been a fellow human? And why does it matter if magic was used? If anything, that points directly at the Sidhe rather than the humans (though, as Tennes has pointed out, this COULD mean White Council).

Anyway, I don't know what else to make of this, but I wanted to pull it back up as something that stood out.

Good point. I would assume most players don't want to be vanilla mortal, so when offered a chance to do something else, why would you refuse? If he truly got multiple offers, I'm betting he's covering his ass against the one he didn't accept.

"We all go a little mad sometimes."

Frankly, if I were one of the queens, I'd use my Tyrant powers as much as possible, to confuse, to obfuscate, to frustrate... That's the way this game works, I think it's lame of anyone to say "Well I don't like what that player just did to me, so I'm just not gonna play."

[Tiamatha]

If the game didn't revolve around recruiting players I'd totally agree as there are no repercussions. Here, there could be. Maybe it's just me.

Who said anything about recruitment? Seriously I pandered to Tellans earlier requests but I think you're barking up the wrong tree and I think Tellan may be one of the reasons for that.

It seems pretty clear to me that it means the queens are trying to recruit.

Certainly seems the Path-Shaper would want you to think that, yes.

I hate to be a stickler but Korbas didn't say you had to use different movie quotes. Just that you had to have a movie quote in your posts. You are choosing to use different ones.

Of course you do. I am gorgeous and awesome!

So, I see we're voting Korlat for ... talking I guess?
I really don't like a vote on Korlat. Togg, otoh,has been kinda off this last page.It feels like he is trying to derail the thread with suggesting different courses of action and not providing any reason to follow any singel one of the courses.

I'd be happy with a Tellann vote for the reasons posted above. Not so happy with a Togg vote, considering both queens don't seem to mind his lynch.

In fact, I'll put my vote there for now.

Vote Tellann

[Venesara]

I'd be happy with a Tellan, Korlat, or Silanah vote.

[Tholen]

There are a couple things about Korlat that have been bothering me.

First he seems to keep trying to point out that it is going to be "too difficult" to get rid of both queens. This is a viewpoint that he seems to push a bit with several of his posts with no alternative voiced.

Korlat, on 13 January 2015 - 10:50 PM, said:

I wonder what will happen if one of the queens in dead? Are they not their opposites and need each other for balance? If we get rid of one I have a feeling the other will be able to create mayhem.

I am repeating myself here, but in this post Korlat takes the strange stance that someone has lost a power level. Why the hell would that be someones first conclusion with the information given? I already asked this and was ignored.

Gonna be Captain Obvious here. These seem like the power levels of the players. The two fives are most likely the queens and looks like someone did something wrong and lost a power level as well.

Is this something we get every night? We didn't get it last time.

Here Korlat seems to know nothing about how the changelings work. Even after it has been made pretty clear that the changelings are meant to pick a side.

Korlat, on 21 January 2015 - 02:20 AM, said:

I wonder if changelings can choose to either join the human or sidhe factions depending on how the game is going. Again, dont know if it translated into the game, but if you look at the wiki a changeling can choose either or. Maybe something to consider as Summer lost one of the guards or players aligned with her, so that might have given the winter-sidhe changelings some confidence to turn to that side.

Given all of this I feel that Korlat is a high power player for one of the queens, aka a shield. He keeps trying to steer the arguments away from looking for ways to get rid of the queens and it feels to me like he is trying to push the thinking towards finding the other human agency without actually saying anything outright.

Vote Korlat

[Venesara]

I agree with quite a bit of what you say, Tholen. Korlat certainly comes across as not a low-level player. Silanah also gives me a similar feeling.

The only caveat to Korlat being that they could also be high-level human, rather than a shield, and that's why their changeling thought posts seem off.
