Petition for the Aces

[nbnewell]

ok, I am moving over here.... XD

as a recap, on the other thread, I am concerned about calling this a "petition" as that is a negative power word.

I think that, since we are guests, we should present this as information. maybe add possible courses or recquests for actions, but the more i think about it, the more I think that as guests, that may be presumptive.

As I mentione din my post on the other thread, i think as passengers we should draw it up something like this:

To the Noble Aces,

We the passengers greatly appreciate the opportunity you have offered us to visit among you. Therefore, out of respect for you as our hosts and concern for your safety as friends, we would like to bring to your attention a few matters concerning possible breaches to your security....."

then put together a list of transgressions (we cannot accuse Delilah outright, she is not beholden to the deck or under thier authority. We can however state it that "Her royal Highness, The Queen of clubs allowed, or requested that the party known to us as Delilah ...." I then suggest we have Flynn (if available) Morcar (again if available), Jonah, Edwin and dom each write up a statement regarding what they have witnessed as proof to the "motion of discovery" that we are offering the Aces. These would then all be submitted together with our signatures and the Deck's Documents attatched seperately.

As for suggesting courses of action etc... or demanding she be dethroned, I am wary of this, but would love to hear Edwin's Jonah's and dom's feelings.


Of course I am open to other suggestions. I am only suggesting formatts that I have used in negotiations in my past life. (pre-kids/Domestic CEO)


Edited to add: I left early last night, so to any of you who had started this already b4 I began my posts this moirning.. I didn't mean to step on toes...

I meant the word petition more in the "humble request sense" of the word than that "do this because we have 7896 signatures"

I definitely see your point. We need to be as diplomatic as possible.

-Ok, time for me to put on my Devil's Advocate hat. The Aces obviously knew about the Queen's actions, and they allowed her to attempt the trade-off anyway.

Who's to say that they would even consider this petition? Is this the only option? Despite me asking around, I have yet to get a definitive answer to two questions. "How and when did Delilah meet the Queen?", and "What started her decent into corruption?"

Ousting her may not be the only solution.

Ok, time to take off my Devil's Advocate hat.-

I've thought about that, Psyche, and I've come to this conclusion. I recall someone (Edwin? Delilah? Flynn? Dom?) saying that the Aces had listened to the Queen's "wisdom". They might just be blind, despite their positions of power. I think a petition showing them the more negative qualities of the Queen might enlighten them and they could have an epiphany and then give us treats.

Something like that. I think a petition would be a pretty direct way to let the Aces know what's up.

In response to those questions there Psyche:

Delilah, alledegly, met the queen about ten yers ago, and they imeidiately hit it off. They dated, were soon maried, and now happily reside in New Jersey with two adopted sons.

Well, maybe not. But Delilah said herself that she did meet the Queen about ten years ago, and they have been corresponding ever since, helping each other. Whether that's true or not, no idea. Depends if she was actually telling the truth there.

As for what started Queenies decent into corruption, the leading theory, and I say leading because I thought of it last night while chatting with Edwin intoxicated, and it sounded awesome at the time, Is that the Queen did some dealings with Korp. Edwin confirmed that bit.

Now, Morcar knew about this, conciously or unconciously isn't exactly clear. Anyway, that's not important right now.
Queenie, for fear of her actions being discovered, fell into a paranoia. Suspecting everyone, she presumed that to stay in power, she would have to take it. This explains for the quick shift in mood, and her decline into madness.
The situation degraded to the point where she had Edwin build The Box as a way to test the minds of her subjects, seeing as how it projects thoughts onto a monitor, she could see if they knew her secret or not.


Remember all that is speculation. Speculation that Edwin deemed entirely possible.

Then again he also deemed the possibility that The Korporation is ruled by evil english speaking marmosets entirely possible. Take that as you will.

Just a thought, Actually mailing the Petition may be unreliable. How about Digital Signatures. sorta like everyones.. key?Jus tlike Jonah and edwin do. If that makes any sense.

As for proof, I'm going to look over my emails with Delilah to see if any of them can be used as proof. I will post them when I find any.

[teh_lisa]

This is from an email Edwin sent me. I had expressed some question as to whether or not the passengers could get it together as a group (a valid concern so don't go getting all huffy at me). This is his reply:
