The Supreme Commander Aleksandr is selecting a baron (bear-on, second lowest noble rank) to be promoted to Vigraf (Vig-raph, Vi-Graph). As a 'vice-Graf' (Graf = Count = Comes), you and another 'Vigraf" will be splitting the duties of managing a whole planet or equivalent wealth, properly, or number of subjects.

There are a wide variety of minor nobles who are applying for this position, but the one who will be chosen will be based on two major criteria.

The first is loyalty and understanding of the current political regime.

The second is intelligence and cunning.

The disloyal will be demoted and/or purged, and the stupid will be demoted, told to shut up and obey their betters.

>Welcome to the character creation, voting process of this quest!

Let's explain some rules for those of you confused in the back!

In character, the 'test' to see who will be chosen, will be attempting to decipher a poem. Deciphering the poem and voting on different aspects of the character will happen in 'waves' or 'rounds'.

During each round, a player can do one of the following:

1. Refer to a paragraph or section or stanza, and attempt to guess a message or ideology or idea within the poem. You will get one extra vote if you guess right on something general, another if you guess something more specific, and another if you guess something hyper specific. If you make a hyper specific guess wrong, but you understood something general, you get one extra vote.

2. You can greentext / select / "stakeout" a sentence or two lines. You can ask a question about this sentence or two lines. No one else will be able to do anything with what you 'stakeout' in the current (Provided they posted after you) or next round and your question will be answered this round.
