I probably like it because we both have entries about playing Viziers, but this has one of the better mechanical systems I've seen in the contest. Really enjoy it.

Thank you!
When I saw your entry I thought 'oh no I'm a filthy THIEF', but you took political role playing in a completely different direction. I tried to capture what I like best about hidden information in a structured way, but I love how VotS cuts through that red tape to a degree and directly bases its outcome around the group's social dynamic.
Good luck with the contest!
Thanks! You too!
I really like how you managed to squeeze in more setting detail. I tried to cram a bunch of aesthetic in the first paragraph but looking at this I wish I did something similar with using evocative nomenclature (sky king and such) and left more explicit hints (though not directions) about how to format the table dynamic.
Regardless, I'm definitely glad to see more political intrigue out there, thieves be gladdened. It seems to be a winning format to explicitly leave as much extraneous structure to player preference as possible in these jams. Thanks for your contribution!
