Empress Dowager Chongqing has passed away!
The palace enters a state of mourning as the funeral arrangements proceed. The next NP will be skipped. This thread will contain DP2. If majority is reached within 72 hours, DP3 will immediately begin after the flip. If 72 hours is reached without majority, DP3will begin without a lynch. The NP following DP3 will still be NP2 (even abilities).
As the formidable Empress Dowager falls, her network of spies also crumbles.
Flip:
Dowager Empress Chongqing: Niohuru Zhenhuan Mikal
You are the Empress Dowager of the Great Qing, Niohuru Zhenhuan. You rose up in the previous Emperor’s harem only to be exiled to a Buddhist monastery at the machinations of the Ula-Nara Empress. You return victorious, having hardened your heart, and fight your way to the top as Consort Xi, eventually disgracing that Empress’s foster son and exposing her crimes. You then force Ula-Nara Yixiu's own niece, Ruyi, to force her aunt to kill herself, and you yourself secretly poison the former Emperor. Your adoptive son Yongli becomes Emperor, and you convince him to take Empress Fuca as his wife over ‘that Ula-Nara woman’. However, as time wears on Ruyi proves to be both loyal and useful to you, aiding you at many critical junctures. You are a master manipulator and tough as nails, often vying with your son for influence and getting the upper hand about half the time. But, in the end the Emperor respects you and takes your counsel to heart, while those concubines who fail to fear you seldom escape unscathed.
You have limited control over favor in the harem, being able to either deduct or add two favor to one consort each night. You also have several 1x abilities which reflect your ability to intervene in harem affairs to protect or punish. You have no favor and cannot receive it – your position as head of the harem is unassailable save from death itself. If you do die, the next night phase will be skipped due to a period of mourning. You win with the town.
You discuss becoming Empress with Ruyi
You discuss Ruyi cutting her hair with the Emperor
Every night, you may act as high slanderer or benefactor, either increasing or reducing a concubine’s favor by 2.
1x Jailer – You may target one player and both roleblock and protect them
1x Rolestopper – You may target one player and roleblock all players targeting them with a night actions. This cannot block the emperor.
1x High Adjudicator – You may move two favor from one target to another.
If you are NKd, skip the next NP
