Actually that's you goofing - my concern for loyalty is the other servants/maids around our chooseable maid/servant, not the maid (Ms. Turner) herself.
I'm not concerned that if picked the Maid Turner wouldn't be loyal - I'm concerned that her loyalty could be rendered irrelevant by other maids being loyal to other higher-ups (like the prince), or generally looking out for No. 1 and reporting on people doing shady shit.
No, that's not my goofing. That you forgetting what action was taken the turn before.
You know. The one we went all friendly and try to get their loyalty thing.
Fair enough - I obviously don't agree with this stance but hey, at least you articulated it.
I think we have different definitions of 'overt' as well - to me, any action a potential minion's asked to take, even as simple as leaving a note for someone, is overt. I'm expecting initial minion returns to be largely based in passive benefits - what they overhear in the course of their job, what they see in the course of their work routes, that stuff. Which, again, comes back to my prioritization of whoever feels most mobile.
I don't know that I'd ever even vote to have a minion attempt to poison or otherwise kill someone, as I feel that such extreme levels of minion use aren't at all realistic to long games based on real life precedent/I'm somewhat biased against the storytelling tropes that paint such spywork as being more easily accomplished/more useful to one's goals than it really is.
I'd certainly be interested in seeing the fallout of a vote to have a minion do something like that, provided it ever happens.
I define "overt" as anything that leaves a trail of evidence back to us. While granted a lot of actions we can get Lily to do can be overt, it can also be rather covert in that the perpetrator cannot be figured out.
...You keep saying servants/all the other servants, here - why?
It reads like you think picking the maid choice is perforce going to make it easier to swing all the servants under out sway, and I'm not seeing any rationale for that. People can hate their coworkers, and hate them more for getting close with the boss, and per that be harder to get on the boss's side.
No, like I said, it's just you forgetting the actions we picked.
