[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack

You're wearing raggedy/a regular/fancy versions of your uniform/servant uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh. Don't you remember something about that, actually?

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

...Use all our upvotes but abstain from downvoting in the first round, to see how the waters are?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

[nods in agreement] Wait and, ah, see how the others choose.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

We have votes for each of us sans two, so we could split them by letting each of us vote for one of our preference, in which case I would abstain. Or decide together, particularly involving that recommendation in the blurbs.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

If anyone is to, ah, abstain this time, it should be me, since I did not place myself up last time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

It seems we have two less votes than our number, so... two of us would need to.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

Then, ah, me and...someone else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

I can abstain.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

Myself, then. 'Tis simpler to be decisive.

Re: DISCUSSION

[backstory]

Will we not all volunteer ourselves again...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

I believe we will be?

Re: DISCUSSION

[backstory]

I'd prefer to abstain from downvoting in general.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

Fair. I believe that can be agreed upon overall, but we may wish to assess again later, if you do not mind.

Re: DISCUSSION

[backstory]

I am okay with that. For the moment, we can see how things play out. This is the first round after all.

[bondsofsuffering]

Agreed.

[crystallinelore]

How do we wish to manage our votes? By taking that suggestion?

[bondsofsuffering]

We can try, although I'm not sure how many of the other units will be following suit.

[crystallinelore]

'Tis better to try for it than second guess the actions of other units. Though I may suggest we try going up from the bottom of the list, in case those who try all start from the top.

[bondsofsuffering]

I think so, too.

Whoever votes that way will have to receive the message properly, decide to act on it, and then figure out how to spread their votes - there's too many of us for one unit to cover an entire half.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

I'd prefer that as well.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

Then we are in agreement.

Re: DISCUSSION

[devilmightcare]

Sounds good by me. Downvotes're only if we need to get ahead, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

Exactly. As things stand there is hopefully no need to come out swinging, as it were. But we shall see.

Re: DISCUSSION

[nihilmancy]

That's not a bad plan.

...I see a few people who might be important to me, but it's hard to be certain of some of them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

The hidden identities make this difficult, yes...

Re: DISCUSSION

[nihilmancy]

Easier to just see how things go, this round.
