As a reminder, apps will not be judged over 24 December-2 January.

✘ Test drive meme questions

✘ ...and regular questions!

✘ Quest sign-ups: Moretti | Vannozza | Macaluso

✘ Vote on the fate of Doxe Bonaccorso Spina.


Feel free to make your own plotting comments here & tag around!

Comments

BONACCORSO'S UNTIMELY FATE

[groundrules]

Hate him or... hate him, Bonaccorso Spina's reign is coming to an end.

Pitch what to do with him or +1 any existing suggestions until 15 December. Please do your best to +1, where possible, if the differences between your idea and an existing suggestion are small. You can make note of them in your comment, if so. This is just to avoid having too many options and not enough votes.

You will have one vote per player as this is an out-of-character vote.

Thanks!

KILL HIM

[bearshermark]

And destroy his body. Attempt to set whatever borrowed soul he has to rest?

His list of sins is long and on-going.

+1

[beitangmoran]

Moran is all in favor of removing him by any means necessary.

+1

[lancifolium]

Fuck this guy.

+1

[sankta]

who isn't done with this dude?

+1

[blackscales]

You lose all hope of being reasoned with when you try to burn your own people.

+ 1

[downswing]

And if you need someone? Wangji volunteers to do it.

+1

[northerndragon]

Obviously.

But Jon would think Bonaccorso’s niece and nephew should be consulted, because drop-in foreigners shouldn’t be the city’s only justice.

Dammit Jon

+1

[valeas]

she's been SAYING

ideally he'd suffer a lil first

+1

[rumorate]

He wants to just causally murder an entire city? Fuck him.

+1

[in_theworks]

Sorry-not-sorry, bro.

+1

[topoiran]

While on the whole, Su Xunxian would be for arresting, there are these to consider:

- the witches of both schools will likely attack and try to free the doxe as things are. Even if Bessis are talked down, Attaryl's loyalty is still there. Can the group stand down under this kind of attack?

- arrested, he may yet deal damage, and even get his soul transferred.

That said, he is with Jon on consulting Vannozza and Macaluso on it.

+1

[somebadnews]

A shocking vote, I know.

Just let your local teleporting assassin know if you need a hand. Happy to wrap that up nice and tidy.

+1

[silverneedles]

Wen Qing can, at least, incapacitate him to assist with the death.

+1

[flirtatiousdancer]

Kexing doesn't know him, doesn't care, but has seen enough to decide he gotta GO. Badly. :3

ARREST HIM

[reparo]

Listen, he's no Lord Voldemort so cold-hearted execution in the square isn't something Hermione can condone, but on the other hand he can just succumb to his illness slowly in a cage, hopefully with undead nearby to hound his mind and every waking moment left. This is fine.

[song_of_fire]

Public trial is definitely the best idea to calm the people. Bloodshed leads to more bloodshed. Dany doesn't want any killing unless it's necessary. Arrest him, try him and let the new government dispense justice.

+1 for Arrest

[funnylittleclown]

The Doctor would agree with you Hermione about arresting Bonaccorso. Outright murdering a man, even some one as evil as him, simply won't do. He will be loudly vocal on this point for all the good that will do.

+1

[binghua]

Does Bonaccorso deserve to die? Yeah, for sure. Does he deserve to get immediately and irreversibly murderated? ...Also possibly for sure.

Does Xingchen really trust the justice system here or at home or anywhere because he's learned that people are unfortunately corrupt and very often not actually concerned with justice? No, he really doesn't these days, but he's gotta stay true to his stupid heart, okay.

Anyway, even if a trial happens and it ends up being a farce, Bonaccorso should absolutely die of old age LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE DO. Keep his grubby hands out of soul-fondling tyvm.

+1

[wooden_one]

He also would think they should force him to abdicate in public. Or force him to confess all he's done in front of the people!

+1

[weifinder]

Public trial, bind his spirit to his current body.

I cannot believe he's voting with just his uncle here lmfao.

+1

[chosenbylight]

I know that this is technically not an IC vote but Anduin cannot honestly condone an assassination. He does agree that Bonaccorso should be removed from power but also agrees they should immediately hold some sort of trial or vote as to who should replace him. Otherwise, they are leaving a power vacuum at the top and he knows from experience that no good ever comes of such things...

[gladiokinesis]

kill the dick

[groundrules]

This has got to be our best vote yet.
