The Ultimatum
In the aftermath of the Day of Fire, the morale of the people of Union had slowly begun to recover from the difficult battle they had previously fought and the decision that they had made. Their reprieve is brief, however. Barely a week following the report to the Council, the news returned: Sanctuary, after extensive discussion, had refused to give up their Homunculus program merely because Union demanded it.
The issue now, of course, was how to proceed with this new information. Should the people of Union shun Sanctuary altogether? Should they establish minimal contact with sanctions? Should they attempt to negotiate, requesting that Sanctuary stop the worst of the abuses in exchange for diplomatic favors? Should they simply turn a blind eye to the Homunculus program and hope it works out?
The next decision would likely be the final one.
[As there are many directions this can go now, we have three options here: Normalize Relations, Open Partial Relations with Imposed Sanctions, or Abandon Relations. Please vote under the one you support. If you vote under 'open partial relations with imposed sanctions', you must also voice your opinion on each of the following potential sanctions: restrictions on the Homunculus program that would make it acceptable, refusing to trade or contribute to the economic welfare of Sanctuary, refusing to allow immigration from Sanctuary, refusing to open communication with Sanctuary in regards to the Warp Band network, and refusing to share information concerning legendary activities and discoveries with Sanctuary.
Each player may only vote once. As people with five or six characters in game could potentially unfairly unbalance the vote, the final vote is how you, as a player, would like to see the game change. You are of course free to vote in a manner reflective of how the majority of your characters would feel.
As before, there will be a section for IC discussion and OoC questions.]

[ ignorance is bliss... feigned ignorance worked just as well. Rincewind has very little idea what the project was actually about, only that very powerful people were working on it and, generally, it's extremely unwise to bother said persons. ]
no subject
...Well. OK.
Would you... have any idea what kind of magic would be involved if you wanted to do something like that?
no subject
You know, old Magi, mad with power, too much time on their hands. Really, it's all a mess I'd rather not get mixed into.
[ very helpful, that Rincewind. ]
no subject
[Lucas is starting to think that Rincewind is only here because it's the furthest distance from Sanctuary he could get, geographically, without being out in the wilds.]
Anyway, we've got to make a decision about this. And it's alright if you don't want to help, but a lot of us don't feel the same way, so.... If you can think of any information at all, please let us know.
no subject
Right, I'll just proffer everything I know, no strings attached. Never mind my being one of the only magi around. That won't turn any heads.
[ he sighs ]
All I know is common knowledge or, better yet, common sense. No one ever wants to hear that.
no subject
[Lucas has decided that no one can possibly this cynical and takes it as completely sincere instead.]
Even your common knowledge is different than ours.
no subject
[ Rincewind decided it must be in the water. Funny water always did strange things to people. ]
Sure then. I'll get right on it.
[ He doesn't move ]
