[X] Marry Alfons Uberti of the Uberti Dynasty- best admin by far, close ties with Uberti Rogue Trader Dynasty of Dragon's Nest, political ties with Dragon's Nest.
 
[X] Marry Baron Sigmund 'The Defiant' of the Aesir- best combat, decent Martial, allows formation of Knight House on Avernus.

+10% Throne Income is not game-breaking, even if multiplicative and nice to have. Thrones are a basic resource. Also am rather concerned about risk of dying.

Guy has a trait that makes it harder for him to die. His combat is 31 (Freya's was 20) , and he is a rogue trader and merchant. He doesn't need or likely plan to spend all that much time on Avernus itself, and we all know that Orbit is perfectly safe and we have a bunch of space stations there that people live on.

Furthermore, if any of these guys marry Syr, they are likely going to spend more/most of their free time with her, and she is not on Avernus all that much either, and won't be until Rotbart dies. She is busy pursueing her career in another part of the Trust. Other than Sigismund spending time on Avernus building up the Knight House, why would the other husbands spend all that much time here?

Is Sufficiently Sexy even still active? I thought it was basically dead by now
Dunno, I never registered, I thought that the mods had said something about them considering it a success and expanding it though.
Wasn't something like that the reason that TPK decided he couldn't continue running quests here if it might preload some NSFW material for him?

E: Ninjad. Assassined? Anyway DKArthas is probably talking about what I was thinking about.

TPK didn't continue because SV started allowing NSFW content in the main questing forum without any sort of age gate Or whatever I believe.

We have a small fleet (compared to other Trust members and dragons nest merchant marine fleet) in comparison to everyone else. We had to buy cargo space in order to sell what we sold last time. If we want to sell even more we will need to actually spend actions increasing our merchant fleet (which we never do) or spend credits to buy cargo space.

Truthfully I think the boost we are going to get will be gone as we upgrade our forces to the full extent we can. We still have to upgrade the Hellguard, helltroopers, militia, ships and whatever else that will be huge cost.
Well, leaving aside that spending some actions at mass conveyors wouldn't be amiss, and we didn't do it because the need wasn't perceived, it doesn't cost a lot to buy cargo space. 1 credit per cargo unit is basically spare change.
 
Alfons has a fleet, Syr is an admiral, they can geek out on fleet command together. It'll be cute.
He has a fleet, we have shipyards. It'll be profitable.
Rogue trading is a source of novelties, oddities and artefacts, we have the best R&D in the Trust. It'll be fruitful.

Good enough of an argument for me! Also, getting a foot in the door with regards to a connection with Dragon's Nest is never, ever a bad thing.

You know I was not expecting the Naval Officer to be the one with the lowest combat. Granted it is only a 1 point difference but still. Still the Rogue trader is as good as expected.

Here is a repost of my earlier arguments for Sigmund:
Definitely think we should vote for Sigmund. Combat is literally Avernus' specialty and Avernus knights would be an extremely powerful asset. Especially considering the new throne tech that lets psykers use their powers through and on the knights which is even more of an advantage for Avernus due to our insane number of powerful psykers.

Not to mention that those knights could seriously help with our psyker problem that is still pretty bad considering that we lost nearly 80 million people last turn even with Jane doing her hunts.

To add to something that people seem to constantly forget when it comes to diplomacy to Dragons Nest going to point out that we are not the only ones in the Trust. Seriously, it seems like people keep forgetting this fact and acting like we are the only ones that can do something like increase ties with Dragons Nest despite their being 9 other core planets in Avernus. I mean an example is Sigurd's sister marrying into the family of another core trust world. The rest of the Trust is also going to be involved in getting closer ties to Dragons Nest since the main goal is a merger so it's not like it's totally dependant on just us.

Like I said, all the core worlds agreed to stick to specialties of their own to make the Trust as strong as possible. Our specialty is literally elite units and psyker knights would be one of the greatest elite units under us. Seriously, imagine blinking and phasing psyker knights driven by gamma's and maybe even beta level avernite psykers. That would be a huge contribution on the trust on our part.

Psy Knights aside, best daughter deserves a man who is least likely to die to Avernus. I'd hate to see a Freya happen to her Husbando.

:(
 
A bland navy captain with political weight we done need.
A foreign spy.
A merchant.
A soldier.

Stats and utility are close enough that there are no standouts, so I will go with the one I actually like.

Wasn't it brought up before that the population would look down on them for that if/when best daughter becomes governor? Best daughter would have to live on Avernus and in my mind husbando would have to be by her literal side in this.
Right, maybe.

But I was assuming that was centuries away and they have a lot of wars and boarding actions to get better together until then.
Still prefer the Knight though.

IT'S A GUNDAAAAAMMMMMM!
 
The guy most likely to die to Avernus is the guy who follows a military career on Avernus. Being better doesn't make up for the vastly increased exposure.

We don't need the added expense and complication of our own Knight house, let Asgard keep their schtick.

Being acceptable for the general Avernite population was one of Syr's criteria for possible husbands, if they weren't acceptable they wouldn't be an option.

Yeah, all of the options are killy enough to be acceptable for the population of Avernus.

Remember folks, these guys pass all of the criteria that was set by Syr and the advisers on what makes a good spouse to the heir of Avernus. If they didn't, they would not be on this list.

It's Avernus, as much as it pains me to say it Freddy could die next turn in any number of terrible ways. Which means Syr gets to take up the reins, with what will hopefully be a long lived Husbando. It would crush me if Syr lost her partner because the combat score wasn't up to par.

Less because my vote didn't win, but because it would make best daughter very sad.

The post I was responding to stated that the captain or merchant could avoid death by staying off Avernus, which I think was mentioned as being unacceptable for the population. Not that any particular candidate is unacceptable. They all ended up on the short list after all.

See the above, I don't contest that they are all acceptable candidates. I'm arguing against the notion they could get away from the danger by not living on Avernus while Syr is governor. Specifically the population would look down on that specific choice.
