[X]Plan Pirate Hunting

- Reader
Vote pirate hunter. We are tied, and it is a good plan. We can make a lot of money, and get sick over side of ship, and spend time with uncle, and maybe visit many interesting places. There will be rum, and pirate booty, and sea shanties. Lots of sea shanties.

Honestly if you're doing pirate hunting, which I don't agree with but if it wins it wins, wouldn't doing industry make more sense than Academic sense you have a source of income to make it feasible?

On the one hand, yes. On the other, having our scribes doing literature could make for an early Aeneid with us in the place of Augustus. Cool things happen around botes.

I mean The Aeneid was arguably a massive stealth insult to Augustus and even if it wasn't, having something like that before we're named Dictator would not go well.

Hey, Nero is just a coincidence... That guy could be anyone (yeah it's Nero), but its about Rome burning, which according to the Prophecy in Quest, will be inevitable.

Nero: I did not fiddle while Rome Burned!!! I may be a megalomaniac and an utterly brutal shit who killed his own mother and decided to blame some random minority, but I did not in fact fiddle!!! Honestly, what does it take these days for that fact to be recongized. And by the way, if I did fiddle, it would of been the best damn fiddle you would of ever heard!Well... that can't be good.

We will never be the traditional Roman hero, in the legion we will certainly be great, but we will be among many other great warriors and generals of Roman history, on the sea we can truly distinguish ourselves perhaps develop a Roman naval legacy. The cash inflow will generate us many opportunities, and traveling about the Mediterranean will likely grant us many opportunities.

My issue with the boat plan is it's not quite bad enough in Rome to pull off a Sextus Pompey. Which is what any Roman quest involving boats should aspire too.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I think the idea for that combo is to talk him down from being too abrasive about it and to make him remember that we our aiding him, while actually actively doing trying to get him the position. Basically make a promise and act upon it, get the credit and the favor at the same time more or less.

Let me put it this way:
People remember kept promises.
And more people remember who you screwed over when you keep those promises.
Also: Who might win a civil war.

Ok, here I go shilling again.
And last but not least of my tentative to get votes for a plan I did not write, We would own our fleet of ships but not the legion (I mean until several campaigns, many bribes, and political maneuvering.
So when not in wartime (and event that) we could make money with trading (maybe with Greek that thinks they are pharoh, you know the source of a LOT of food for Rome a the time.........
Ho did I mention that we could save Cesar's life? You know if he gets captured again by a pirate.
In short a vote for the pirate hunting plan is a vote for an adventure that cannot be ripped from us at the drop of the hat by a senate decision.

I mean if Sulla gave us a command position in a legion and the Senate stripped us of said position I'm pretty Sulla would be like "hahaha, No"

True but it means we depend on the goodwill of Sulla and the fact he remains at the helm ( with our subterfuge stat I don't think we can reliably play the political game of Rome).
And the probability that Sulla stays in power in this playthrough of Romain history is not that great.
