I think I've already made it clear that I'm not for assassinating the queen either. It's just too big a leap. I know I would be forced to play Omar out of character if such a situation occurred because it is too grand a misfortune when tensions between the two kingdoms are already high. From what I've seen of the King, he has a bit of a temper and I think the assassination of his wife would surely ensnare his temper if not have him go ballistic on the Theiri - at least by instantly calling war. I know that my character would probably be on the King's coat tails in that reaction. This would cause a total loss of communication between the Aserit and Theiri (and Nydewia) characters and where would the fun be in that?<br/><br/>I don't think the queen necessarily has to die. We can always try and find a replacement and perhaps she can be NPC'd by the players with Aserit characters for a time being.<br/><br/>If you are looking for conflict, that's fine, but I think assassinating the queen is a cheap way out. Other issues of conflict can arise and<em>are</em>arising, it just takes time with a role play this big. Also, I don't want the Aserit looking so tarnished by<em>allowing</em>their queen to be assassinated- it just makes them look foolish and I am<em>not</em>okay with that.<br/><br/>So like I said before, I'm still not convinced, holding the same reasons I stated the first time. Definitely with MagicalPen on this one.
