DRAGONSTONE (GoT) Thread

[Autumn]

Clap, buy those mercenaries! Inblue, you too if you can.

[bulletsponge]

NO my lord

[Autumn]

Sent you a PM, bullet.

[Autumn]

Thank you, Bullet.

I hope that you hired mercenaries as well. Clap, I really need you to hire mercenaries before deadline as well.

[bulletsponge]

so let it be written, so let it be done

[InBlue]

I asked for mercenaries.
And I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be an emissary today. I only have a few minutes at a time (if I get a chance at all) to catch up, and I'm going to get home at like 4:30 something to 5 tonight, which is deadline.

[Autumn]

Thank you. I sent a raven just in case you have a moment to send it along to Robb.

Clap, we need those mercenaries!

Bullet, I got your PM, thank you. We will see how the battle goes.

[claphamsa]

im back! finally.... stupid IT! when is deadline? how do i hire merceneries? what has happened in the last week?

[Autumn]

Just send your mercenary order in to Chief through PM.

Deadline is at 5 pm EST.

What has happened is that Renly turned against us, we are hopefully allied with the Starks against him. He has declared war against us and we will be fighting this afternoon. Thus the mercenaries. Melisandre's assassin killed one of Renly's men and hopefully hte Starks at least will join us in the war, but maybe not in which case we're in trouble.

[Autumn]

So there's a very real chance the Starks leave us high and dry here. If anyone is available to talk to Robb I can either send you as an emissary or you can simply use your PM there.

[InBlue]

We need to do something to thank the Starks. In a PM earlier (I couldn't relay it in time because I wasn't home) Robb said he'd definitely come through for us (which he did) and though he didn't require it, some gold or something would be nice in return. I think a generous sum of gold is a good idea, because he also lost a bannerman/Hand, fighting for us...

[Autumn]

I agree in spirit, but he also gained the captive. If we had captured Brienne I would have offered to send her to Robb, but he gained the only spoil while we still have a land occupied. We will contact him and maybe send him something though. I'm disappointed the Lannisters chose to do that.

More importantly is what we do next. Luckily the iron Island give us the option of not turning against the Starks yet. So we can negotiate with them to continue together. I think we want to ally against the isles so we have someone to vote against. the question then is whether to war against anyone or try to make any other alliances.

Renly's not going to bend the knee to us, though he should to someone. I suppose we can try Joffrey again.

[Autumn]

I really, realy could use two emissaries this coming day. So clap, bullet, inblue, if any of you have time to negotiate with one of the kings please let me know in thread. Not having all three of you to send messages or negotiate is hurting us.

[InBlue]

Unless the next deadline is really far away, then I'm sorry. Tomorrow is much like today for me (or worse), and I'm gone all day Saturday.
However, since Chief is also busy, he might make the deadline Monday or something and then I might be available.

I'm back , so I can

[Autumn]

Okay, Clap. I will send you as an emissary to Zinto (Joffrey). I want you to make the point that Renly is a lost cause. He has one bannerman left who is about to get lynched. Moreover, the Lannisters and Renly combined couldn't win the battle, and now they're weaker. Zinto needs to latch on to a full contingent and that is us. With the Starks we can work at weakening the new faction, and with Zinto on board with us we should be able to take out any of the remaining factions. If he wants a simple alliance, I'm on board, though he may want to consider bending the knee now that he's out of bannerman. I would be glad simply to have his vote with ours, and his armies with ours in battle though.

While an emissary you will be able to PM back and forth with him, but won't be able to communicate with us until you're done. So you have your one PM presumably, and you can message me privately either if you want to discuss something before leaving, or to fill me in on the details when you get back. Don't post much in here for spies to see.

[claphamsa]

ok, so what do i have to do to go? and can I come back here and read my instructions over and over again?

[Autumn]

lol, I suggest you copy and past them somewhere. Once i submit the order below you can start private messaging with Zinto, you just can't check back in here, I think, until you're finished. Once yo'ure finished you can come back here, but can't message him any longer.

SEND CLAPHAMSA AS EMISSARY TO ZINTO/JOFFREY

[Autumn]

I guess maybe I was hasty in sending that action, perhaps the day hasn't rolled over officially yet? I guess you can hold off Clap until Chief lets us know we can do next day actions.

So if you have any questions first, ask away.

[claphamsa]

not really any questions... just need to convince him to ally with us so we can whoop up!

[Autumn]

Yeah, looking over the players left, I think you can point out to him that an alliance with Dragonstone and the Starks is his best bet, as it would give us the voting numbers. If Greyjoy and Renly join together, even with Tywin they won't have a majority of votes, even with Zinto, not quite. However, if Zinto joins the Starks and us, especially if font kneels to CW, we will have the majority of votes and be able to control the game.

[Autumn]

Send Claphamsa as emissary to Zinto

Whenever you see this, Clap, go ahead and start messaging Zinto. I want to see if we can get an agreement with Joffrey well before deadline.

[Autumn]

InBlue, hopefully you got my messages and know what to say.

send inblue as emissary to Robb Stark

[InBlue]

Yes, I got the message. I will proceed with communications with the Starks promptly.

[ooc] This weekend has been really REALLY busy, sorry... [/ooc]

[Chief Rum]

Ser Davos Seaworth has left the camp on an unknown errand.

Ser Axell Florent had left on an unknown errand, but he has now returned.

[claphamsa]

im bacdk!!!! did you miss me?

[Autumn]

Clap, if you can give me a report as soon as you can, without spilling too many details in thread, but give me a sense of it.

[Autumn]

Yes, indeed, good knight.

[claphamsa]

he was well ammenable....

[Autumn]

Good to hear. I am waiting to hear back from InBlue and have another piece up in the air. We'll see what we can make happen.

[claphamsa]

great, do we need to vote?

[Autumn]

Well, at some point, but I'm not sure where w'ere going yet. I was hoping to continue the alliance with the Starks and probably vote the Greyjoys, but I have not heard back from them yet. It's possible CW's deal with path involved more than just an exchange.

[Autumn]

Bullet, if yo'ure around it would be useful if you could use your PM today. We're lagging behind in diplomacy and really need some contacts.

[Autumn]

I had expected that from Renly and lot after Loras died. I thought perhaps Melisandre would be able to protect herself, but it seems not. Now my inability to bring Tywin to the side will hurt quite a bit as we're brought down to everyone else's level. Of course it's entirely possible someone else hired the assassin, but I'm not sure anyone else would wast the money at this stage.

[Autumn]

I guess give your votes to me, guys. I will check back in right close to deadline and make our vote. Just waiting to hear a confirmation from InBlue about details.

[claphamsa]

lets autumn vote for him

[Autumn]

Clap and InBlue, I am going to need you both to hire mercenaries today. If you don't have enough gold, let me know and I will send you some.

[claphamsa]

hires merceneries

[InBlue]

I think I barely have enough, but have enough nonetheless.

Mercenaries plz

[Autumn]

I sent you both gold to at least replenish the cost.

[Autumn]

If either of you is around to send a PM, let me know.

[InBlue]

I JUST sent one to Joffrey, and then refreshed the page. DANGIT

[Autumn]

That's fine.

[Autumn]

Clap, if you're around, send a raven to Coffee Warlord and see what he has to say.

[Autumn]

Depending on how sensitive the answer is, let me know here, being vague if necessary.

[Autumn]

Clap ... clap ... clap

[claphamsa]

yes?

what do you want me to ask Coffe? and im gonna die soon

[Autumn]

You may very well be voted an Enemy, but I do not think you will be executed. I will take the hit to my honor and see if I can rectify it.

Just ask him what he has to say for himself. He apparently has some rationale for voting us.

[Autumn]

An extra PM! Clap, if you haven't messaged CW yet, hold off. If you have, that's fine. If you think his answer should be held private, you can PM me the answer.

[claphamsa]

I pmd him.
