Town Meeting

Town Meeting



Town Meeting


With the recent events that have transpired in regards to Young Bill's plan to starve out the Forest Talkers — the eco-terrorist group that has been hounding him and leaving macabre scenes all over the Lakeside area, Interlopers have called a town meeting to discuss what to do on this.

Rather than playing out the Town Meeting, like with the Darkwalker's second attack, consider this post an OOC post of that meeting, for players to share their character's thoughts and feelings on the situation — along with the best approach in regards to Young Bill's proposal.

Players are free to thread out scenes from the Town Meeting in their own event toplevels/open posts if they wish to do so — but this is more of a quick catchall on character's thoughts that's more accessible to everyone — and players can have their characters +1 ideas they agree with!

Please fill out the following form.



EDIT: THERE IS A POLL FOR INTERLOPERS TO VOTE ON

Diplomacy has it's place but Ashiya is skeptical about their willingness to be diplomatic with the mutilated bodies that have been found in the woods. Such behavior usually suggests something else going on psychologically, and people willing to go to that place are usually not worth the effort of trying.

That may very well be true, but if they leap straight to hostile action then it's on them that they're not even giving anything else a try, and they will be giving the Talkers every reason to turn their aggression straight towards the Interlopers and their settlement. Jim is concerned this will turn into a violent conflict regardless of what they do, but there's a difference between initiating that themselves and at least attempting at a peaceful resolution.

Not if we can figure out what they want and hold it for ransom over their heads for cooperation or information.

Taking one of the caches as a negotiation point is a good idea, but figuring out more of the bigger picture may be necessary to do more.
