Question Re AI Plotting and getting caught...

[vandevere]

Lots of times, my spymasters catch someone plotting to kill character X, and I tell him to order them to stop, and they do.

Question is, are the plotters stopped from plotting to kill X permanently? Is there, instead, there a cooldown of a specific period of time before they can plot to kill X again? Or do they just turn right around and start plotting to kill X?

Not as far as I am aware, though it may be different with AI.

It's the AI I'm talking about. Players can stop poltting or not, as they please.

But I'm really wondering what the AI mechanics are in this particular area.

If you tell an AI vassal to stop plotting, and he does, how long will it take before he starts plotting again, or does he just stop completely until he dies and his successor takes over?
