Game of Thrones: Win or Die [Sign-up, OOC]

[United Socialist Republics of Lupina]

House Martell seem to spend an awful lot of time being concerned with House Tyrell when they could try to win the Iron Throne from their actual enemies. Regarding the Greyjoys the fact that we don't have them in this RP is something of a problem as their absence strengthens the Redwyne fleet substantially. I however try to ignore that in my RP'ing of that house, why the totality of the Redwyne fleet has not been sent to the Stepstones.

Well, House Martell was the last to bend the knee and are usually neutral in Westerosi politics; thus their sudden flinging themselves into the fray is uncharacteristic of them. Plus, there is old bad blood between Martell and Tyrell; thus they do not trust one another (the fact of which we've witnessed in this RP quite a lot), so any sudden good relations between both Houses would also be uncharacteristic of them, seeing as there's no Doran Martell trying to patch the rift. True there is no Oberyn to revive the old feud, thus they will merely be distrustful of each other and thus plan accordingly.

I'll have post up soon. And the scheming will continue, because House Velaryon is essential to the plot and the realistic portrayal of political developments...

Don't argue against this self-evident truth.

Yes I noticed, I was begining to wonder if you had bailed on us.

[First Valerian Empire]

Seems like most of the people I rp with are having connection problems

Things are oddly quiet, yes...

I don't but I would prefer to wait for some more people to post before responding to you. I will however post no later than early tomorrow CET.

I am waiting for you to post setting out from Tyrosh so that we can have a battle for the Stepstones.

Ah.... Tomorrow . I've got a quite nasty cold and any writing now would be somewhat... uninspired.

Perfectly fine, I hope it will pass soon.

Ulster and San, is the party still up in the hall? If so, I'd love some interaction there. My playing has been quite monologous thus far =D

I'm thinking about making a new character that's a Blackwood bastard and a sellsword in either Essos, Reach or the fleet that's coming for Dorne to get more ways to participate...

Well the Reachland forces in Essos largely consists of various "irregular" troops mobilized wherever in Westeros they could be found so you are welcome on the Triple Alliance side.

Laerio doesn't care which sellswords join, so your guy is welcome . My sealord does use the more regular Braavosi soldiers, 'loyalists' if you will, to keep the sellswords under his thumb, but in return the sellswords can look forward to loot in a way the triple alliance could never give them.

(That should help flesh out RP'ing if your guy joins Laerio's side. If he does, and if he is a good fighter, look up the guys brother Aerio: he picks out the best as sparring partners )

[Of the Quendi]

Nonesense. Not only do you have twice as many sellswords to pay which means there are that much more people to divide the loot between but sacking the Triple Alliance (which has sent their valuables to the Seven Kingdoms) won't give a fraction of what robbing the Iron Bank would.

The last thing, you're right, but it's impossible that Lys sent its valuables to the Seven Kingdoms.

[Of the Quendi]

Why?

Medievally speaking, that's like a French king sending all of his valuables to the Holy Roman Empire because the English king is attacking.

And technically, the Redwynes aren't at war with me... are they?

Its more like the members of the Delian league sending their money to the temple in Delos. The Triple Alliance has sent all their non monetary valuables to Oldtown as security for loans they have taken with House Hightower and House Redwyne. The actual money is still in the possession of Lys but it is being held aboard Savior for Sarelleon to use to fund the mercenary armies and will be thrown overboard sooner than allowed to fall into enemy hands.

And no House Redwyne is technically speaking at war with no one though that is only a technicality.

So... Let us speculate . What should happen if you win?

Hmm...

I suppose that depends on the kind of victory. If it's near a draw, I could keep my position with some legitimacy, otherwise it would be fair to have everything collapse.

Win what exactly? The War or the Battle for the Stepstones?

The battle. Laerio has to ascend to the level of a conqueror to awe his subjects enough to centralize his power and stabilise it.
