[claphamsa]

in before the lock.

[Autumn]

Welcome, my subjects. Here we can determine how we will return the crown to its rightful place on my head.

[Autumn]

Allow me to introduce our House bannermen.

Stannis (Autumn)---------Dragonstone, Maidenpool, Duskendale
Davos (InBlue)------------Cape Wrath
Axell (Claphamsa)--------Brightwater Keep
Melisandre (bulletsponge)

[Autumn]

As for the voting, I think we need to work to concentrate everyone's energies on the Lannisters to begin. They have no natural allies and are dangerous for already holding the capital city. It shouldn't be hard to convince the other houses to rally against them.

[Autumn]

I think that we don't want to try to vote out Tywin Lannister - he has a lot of money, lands and men, and Joffrey will eagerly lap that up. Instead we want to hold out for the chance that perhaps we can capture him or defeat him in battle at some point.

Jaime seems a good choice in that he won't have any lands to give to Joffrey if he's voted out. However, I wonder whether his "charisma" might mean he has a chance to evade the vote.

Clegane might be the best choice. Not very likable, and not someone we want to meet in battle.

[Autumn]

I think we're going to need to expand our holdings, I'm presuming that opportunities to do that will come up during the game, or through disavowed bannermen. But if any of you know through your role other ways that we can expand, let me know. Keep in mind there might be spies in the camp though.

[claphamsa]

we are very quiet.

[Autumn]

lol, I don't think well of our chances so far. Any info you guys have about your roles, or thoughts about strategy are welcome.

[claphamsa]

im just trying to keep up reading...

[Autumn]

I need to make my decision about a Hand by tonight. I would like to have someone who is going to be active and engaged with the game, among other criteria, so I'm hoping someone will step up to the plate.

[claphamsa]

lord Rum has mentioned raids in the long awaited rules.... does our king have info on raids?

Lord stannis half elven (wrong story, but whatever) will you be around at deadlines? I will not (ZZZZZZ) .

[Autumn]

Yeah, I don't know anything about raids or other events yet. But I'm guessing that things will come up during the day that we have to react to, or that we'll be given options for miltiary and intrigue as the days begin.

I will be here at deadline generally, as well as periodically through the day.

Clap, I assume you have some men, gold and ships at your disposal. If you can give me those numbers at some point, that would help me.

[claphamsa]

3000 3000 and 0
apparelty where i live is landlocked.

[Autumn]

Okay. Generally Stannis is short on men but has the most ships. We're going to want to bring someone to our side who has men and castles.

[InBlue]

Geez, there's a lot of reading.
Anyway, I have 7500 gold, 500 men, and 70 ships to begin with; and as a lord, I get more every day. In case you're interested.

[Autumn]

That's really great to know, inblue. i didn't realize that your holdings would increase. I have men and ships as well, but I'll keep the numbers hidden for now due to the risk of spies. Bulletsponge is Melisandre so I assume he has no men or gold.

[Autumn]

InBlue, I'm inclined to name you Hand, for fictional reasons mostly. Let me know if you are interested. It allows us PM abilities, which if you're interested in strategizing could be very useful, but if you're not won't be ;-)

[InBlue]

Sure, if you think it's wise. Unfortunately, I'm terrible/inexperienced at strategizing, but I could try, and at the very least I could be a sounding board.
I assure you, Your Grace, I shall remain totally loyal!

[Autumn]

you'd best, or I'll cut off the rest of your fingers.

[Autumn]

I'm out for the night. InBlue, I named you as Hand. tomorrow the real action starts!

[Autumn]

Our best hope is to get the two other houses to gang up on Lannister right now. I may use my PM to speak to path12/Renly and convince him of the same. If not we may have a split vote in which case the neutrals will decide, or they may gang up on us. Melisandre makes a good target since no one knows what she might be able to do.

[Autumn]

We need to get our act together for raids, services, etc. It would be great if you guys could offer up thoughts.

[Autumn]

It seems we have an emissary visiting us?

[claphamsa]

All. Dell failed to fix my computer today. I have my iPad, but no major surfing shall be done.

allows king to vote for whoever I am

Hope that's official enough

[InBlue]

I was actually about to do the same.

Whoever Autumn/Stannis votes for

(This game is ridiculously hard to keep up with.)

Heh... you think it's hard for you to keep up with. You can imagine where I am at right now.

[Autumn]

claphamsa votes for julio riddols
inblue votes for julio riddols
bulletsponge votes for julio riddols

[Autumn]

Is that done correctly, Chief? I swore I saw it in the rules somewhere and now cannot find it.

Votes must go in the main thread.

BTW, claphamsa voted.

[Chief Rum]

P.S. claphamsa voted the way you wanted, so I would just leave that as is, regardless of him putting his vote in your hands here.

[Autumn]

So for the others I just post in the main thread? And is htat format what you wanted? Or "vote for bulletsponge
vote julio riddols"?

[Chief Rum]

The format you used is fine.

[Chief Rum]

Not sure if maybe I wasn't clear enough, sorry Autumn. Your votes here don't count. Enemy of the Realm votes must be made in the main thread.

Not that the result is in doubt.

[Autumn]

Well, we will decide what to do about The Mountain on the morrow. Many will be out to capture him, and I'm not sure how it will be decided who gets to him first.

[Chief Rum]

This is belated from Day One.

Ser Davos Seaworth leaves camp for an unknown errand.

Ser Axell Florent leave camp for an unknown errand

[Chief Rum]

Ser Davos Seaworth and Ser Axell Florent have returned.

They have conducted successful raids on Crakehall and Fairhaven!

[claphamsa]

SUCCESS!

[Autumn]

Nice work fellows. I didn't want to try anything too daring, not knowing how difficult raids might be. But I wanted to cut down on that Joffrey's income. We shall see what is in store for today.

[InBlue]

So who should we vote for today? We need to protect Melissandre.
I propose we vote Jaime -- people don't like him that much, either and he has no land of his own so he'd be easy to capture.

[Chief Rum]

Ser Axell Florent has left camp on an unknown errand.

[Chief Rum]

Ser Axell Florent has successfully captured Ser Gregor Clegane! The Enemy of the Realm is in the custody of House Baratheon of Dragonstone!

See the Captured/Arrested/Imprisoned Bannermen section for what happens now.

The Mountain will remain in faction hands until 1 p.m. EST tomorrow, after which, if no decision is made, he will be released.

[claphamsa]

I say we kill him.

[Autumn]

hah, that's awesome. I'm surprised nobody else got him.

Yes, I'm hemming and hawing between Jaime and Tywin. Let me catch up and see if anyone's messaged me.

[Autumn]

Okay, we will be voting Jaime today. Feel free to go that direction. I will wait a bit to hear what comes of Clegane's capture.

[claphamsa]

I say we kill him and loot his stuff!

[Autumn]

Well, unfortunately killing him means Joffrey gets his keep. Keeping him with us, making him bend the knee, gives us an advantage over the others. We'll see.

[claphamsa]

but there is a loss of honor... not sure how much that matters..

[InBlue]

The other option is sending him to another faction, to make him their problem. If we did that, where would we send him? Renly?

[claphamsa]

allow king to vote for me stupid comp problems not solvednyet
