week 3 ( monday );
[Meeting in the longhouse is a go! Lief clears his throat, as a part of him wonders how he keeps ending up in this situation, but:]
Thank you all for gathering here. These past few weeks have been difficult, but I pray that none of us fall into despair. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our spirits up and put an end to this twisted game.
Vriska and Kirigiri have asked that we take advantage of our time now to discuss our next course of action, without an immediate deadline constraining us, driving us to ill temper. As we have struggled with how we should approach the trial, perhaps we should focus on the roles—the ones with the purpose to kill.
In particular, what sort of people would the Chiefs place in such a role? Not necessarily who would kill, normally, but who would be the Chiefs' "ideal" candidates. That is what we wish to figure out.
... Of course, we may not come to a complete agreement. But perhaps we will walk away from this with a better idea of how to go on from here, if nothing else.
[ooc: basically, a mingle post to discuss stuff! top-level and hijack away, etc.]

"The role is incentive enough to murder."
[she echoes]
That implies those given that role don't need any outside influence to carry out their duties. To me, it sounds as though they don't need to be tempted to kill by payment in material possessions or granted wishes or anything of the sort. The mere fact that they were assigned a role that tells them to kill is enough to get them to do it.
Most of us don't know all of the rules to this game, right? We don't know the win or lose conditions, and we don't know all of the pieces that are in play.
If the role in and of itself is incentive enough, then is it so far-fetched to believe that it might be tied to some hidden game rule of which we aren't aware?

... For the record, when I said that "someone" and I briefly discussed the incentive behind the killing role, I was referring to Magilou.
no subject
Lewin-Lief! Don't spill all of our dirty secrets!
no subject
That is the only one, I assure you.
no subject
To be frank, it's a discussion worth having with everyone, anyway. As long as we're discussing the roles and how they were chosen.
no subject
I can see that now.
[ to Magilou: ]
So, basically, the role is its own reward, and not some other incentive. Whatever it was, it'd have to be pretty compelling!
no subject
[I'm sorry she's dramatic even during serious discussions]
Granted, I have no concrete speculation as to what sort of reward would be inherent in a killing role. It's just another thought to throw into the sea of ideas.
Until we learn more about the rules shrouded behind the curtain, it's as valid of a theory as any.
