Warhammer Fantasy: Divided Loyalties - an Advisor's Quest

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.

I think it might be a good time to lay off one or two of the veteran informers, stop embezzling for a while and then ask for an increase in discretionary budget in a turn or two. Maybe add in a couple of nonexistent informers to cover the funds discrepancy between what we have stored and what we've spent.

Then there's our actual job, for the issue with potting and worden is there a way to get some part of the watch to sally to breakup gribble concentrations even though we didn't choose that as our secondary option, maybe a specialist unit like SWAT? but warhammer-y.

On the subject of the body dissecting the undead, it should be attached to the military, and have the authority to give orders to some parts of the military with regards to collecting samples and would be subordinate to them on the battlefield, but would get strategic and scouting orders from and need to report to the spymaster. And honestly we should be sending copies of the records it produces out of the province, as the ledger incident indicates that most of Stirland isn't secure in the long term.

This is important to do because of all the enemies of the empire the undead lack a self-contained and mobile means of producing more of themselves(vampires come closest but still don't quite reach self-contained), and people have been plinking away at Sylvania for 460 years, yet there don't really seem to be much fewer of them, so where are they coming from? Presumably graves inside of or bordering Sylvania, and the corpses of the people living inside Sylvania.
But by comparing regional differences in undead and their migration patterns with things like present and past burial practices, fashion, possessions they were buried with, and distinguishing birthmarks or mutations and figuring out where specifically at least some of them came from and how they got to where we ended up fighting them, we might uncover points of vulnerability that would allow us to more easily clear the undead that populate a specific region or more easily reduce their overall population.
Essentially we figure out the source of most of the one's we're fighting at any given moment, then cut that source to reduce the number we have to fight.
It needs to be under the spymaster, because they're the only one with any hope of getting reports from inside Sylvania to correlate with information revealed in the field, even if we do not yet actually get that information.

Alongside correlation of more individual scale observations and military reports that would allow definitive statements to be made of the probability of encountering specific types of undead in specific areas, or of different variations of the same type of undead, for example a zombie raised from a bog will tend to be more rotted, eaten away at, and potentially fragile than one raised from a dry grave, being able to tell the origin of a major migration of zombies to a contested area in advance of fighting them could be useful information.

Write up a full proposal, including where it will fit in the existing heirarchy, and spend some time sourcing the equipment it would require.

    --[X] Name: Autopsy Agency
    --[X] Membership: College
    --[X] Control: Van Hal
    --[X] The organization would have wizards from the colleges, along with surgeons and hunters to best locate, combat, capture and dissect the undead encountered. The key difficulties will lie in detection, location and capture, where a wizard is best suited to the parts of detection and capture, being able to identify the Dhar at work and also counter or trace any necromancers involved.
    --[X] While there may be political costs to a formal expansion of the colleges, the value here in Stirland should be well worth it, and there is the alternative of hiring Journeymen and keeping the control under Van Hal's personal authority if the politics prove stubborn about a formal expansion, as his position makes commanding journeymen wizards simple by law.
    --[X] With the information gathered, it'd be helpful to the roles of Gustav, Kasmir and your own office to get the detailed reports. Specific tactics to fighting the unliving would greatly ease the losses on the forces combating the supernatural in the field, while your informants would also greatly benefit from identifying the more subtle forms of undead hidden within the populace or lurking where the people will only report otherwise vague rumors.. Then Kasmir's office to assess if the locals are coerced, duped or in collusion.

I'm a little concerned that the leading plan asks for more money while still embezzling. Also I don't want to husbando anyone yet until we get a chance to see the others like Strapping Young Lad Gustav von Jungfreud. So for the time being:
[X] [Waifu] None of the above: Mathilde is open to the idea, but none of the current options really do it for her.
No opinion on plan at this time other than the above concern.
Tally-inserters might want to consider doing cleanup (grouping together Van Hal and Van Hall votes, etc) on the count.

I understand where you are coming from and I symphatize.
However, your plan is too similar to the winning one imho, and coupled with it being "late to the party" and not being made by a "influential poster", it just can't generate the necessary attention to upset the bandwagon.
That's not fair, but that's the cyber-life.

I appreciate the sympathy, but I'm confused as to how you think my plan is too similar to the leading plans when as far as I know I share at most three actions with either of them.

Apologies, @VoidZero, but you have the leading plan and I've got grave concerns. The Broken Heart plan seems... not to synergise with itself, and carries several risks.

We're embezzling, so lets not invite budgetary oversight. Do we really want to risk destroying our relationship with van Hal? We can cover costs in the short-medium term (hundreds of discretionary gold stashed already), and Special Branch is a much better option long term... it means we don't have to keep asking for budget increases every couple of years. Maybe put Ranald here, we aren't good at Stewardship, and this will probably be a sliding-success roll, where the better we roll, the more of our informant base is covered.

Covering Wurtbad slums is... laudable, but it doesn't help us fulfill our orders. We should put better training in place before hiring more Watchmen.
See this:
[ ] Expand the administration of the Watch so that they can expand into other counties without your personal oversight

Expanding into Woden- in another county- as per Orders... will probably lose us an additional action next turn unless we do this. @BoneyM is this a likely outcome?

And yes... I know you like the name, and so do I, but- naming a half-dozen separate sets of secret informants makes no sense. Let's just uniform the Stirland Watch in Grey Coats and/or Grey Cloaks, and the nickname will take care of itself, for the public organisation.

Digging out our palace takes an action as we supervise... but we've got nothing to do with all those rooms. Can't even set up an enchanters workshop yet.

Lunching with Julia... we just did that. There are blanks and question marks on Gustav and Schultz- we don't know what they think of us. That's a vulnerability. Our job practically demands that we get to know them, now we have a cost free option.

I hope you can take some of these thoughts on board. Thanks for considering them, at least.

The waifu voting is 13 for None of the above, 8 for "Van Hall", 7 for Van Hal, 6 for None of the above yet, 4 for Anton Kiesinger, 2 for Honorable Anton Kiesinger... it's a mess of namesplits. Lemme try to insert cleaned-up tally where I group together the ones that are probably for the same thing.

Ah, I see, your plan name is at the top, the topmost full plan displayed keeps embezzling, and then your vote has been split off from your plan to land by itself far down the previous inserted tally.

<tally wrangling and post editing intensifies>

Inserted tally after taking my best guess on lumping together things like:
X Waifu Van Hal, X Waifu Van Hall, X Van Hal.
X Waifu None of the above, X Waifu None of the above yet
(but separately from X Waifu None period)

I stuck to lumping waifu votes here because the action plans were irreconcilable even with vote management: there are multiple contradictory plans-in-full going under the same name.

    --[X] Name: Autopsy Agency
    --[X] Membership: College
    --[X] Control: Van Hal
    --[X] The organization would have wizards from the colleges, along with surgeons and hunters to best locate, combat, capture and dissect the undead encountered. The key difficulties will lie in detection, location and capture, where a wizard is best suited to the parts of detection and capture, being able to identify the Dhar at work and also counter or trace any necromancers involved.
    --[X] While there may be political costs to a formal expansion of the colleges, the value here in Stirland should be well worth it, and there is the alternative of hiring Journeymen and keeping the control under Van Hal's personal authority if the politics prove stubborn about a formal expansion, as his position makes commanding journeymen wizards simple by law.
    --[X] With the information gathered, it'd be helpful to the roles of Gustav, Kasmir and your own office to get the detailed reports. Specific tactics to fighting the unliving would greatly ease the losses on the forces combating the supernatural in the field, while your informants would also greatly benefit from identifying the more subtle forms of undead hidden within the populace or lurking where the people will only report otherwise vague rumors..
