[] To Reach for the Stars: the great darkness beyond the planet your empire stands on holds much promise... but it isn't yet time to blindly go towards the vastness. Have the Moonchaser and the Wyvern tested against the vacuum of space, and put through the necessary retrofits throughout the month.
---- Moonsong, the Moonchaser, 1 Wyvern
Each Moonchaser carries four Wyverns as part of its standard loadout.
 
Why are you putting heavy firepower here still? Or was that just an artifact of a previous proposal?

Anyway, keep it back in SD. I don't want to send it to Fire and we should keep SD's defenses beefed up for the Empire Day related celebrations.
Agreed. It's a powerful guardian for SD and doesn't really have any business being sent somewhere just to sit on its shiny Valyrian Steel ass, and that's what it would be doing in Slaver's Bay, once a hiding place large enough to hold it is found and secured.
 
I agree with Goldfish. Putting them on a bus is terrible (and I'm still annoyed at what happened to Aberi: at the very least they could have died in an interlude!), both IC and OOC. We can deal with them IC, and we honestly should. They're one of the main obstacles to our conquest and desire for acknowledged moral superiority, after all.

We don't have anything close to moral superiority and we never will. We don't even really have morals. The only reason were not complete monsters is that the gain from those monstrous actions isn't worth the price of the fallout.

For that reason they should stick around, and well be forced to choice the easier more rewarding choice, or make some right moral choices that just so happen to dodge a religious war.
 
Throwing Denys back with the Misfits in Slaver's Bay. He can be a research monkey when he's a better Alchemist and can complete huge projects that pay out a bunch of XP. Right now he's better off growing with his friends.

The thread often seems to want to be acknowledged as morally superior, though. Therefore so does Viserys.
And who likes being known as evil, anyway? We want our good PR !
 
Anyway, requested edits made, Harbrigner is now --unasssigned--, Denys's at Slaver's, and the Big Red team now has 5(!) Mind Dragons.

Question, @Crake - do you need Zherys and/or Benerro for anything?
There are a few minor RAs they could believably do for us even if they are... "doing the administrative duties" of theirs, without overlaying the stuff with the actual Schoalrum Branch of Volantis, even.
 
Hey! I'm the one doing the pre-assignment here!
*pouts*
Yeah, whatever, I just threw together all people roughly fitting the criteria for the outlined desired projects, I thought he'd do well on the Inquisitorial armor-crafting one.
Denys finds the Flesh Forge to be creepy as it is interesting, but he's not eager in taking up an indefinite residency there. He has to get way more personally powerful in order to advance his goals.

You can assign Benerro and Zherys to anything that they could reasonably finish within two weeks of dedicated effort, or a research action they can conduct from within Volantis.

Since when? We are pragmatic and have time and time again acknowledged that we are absolutely monsters at times.
To be honest I do not care about being morally superior, but I do care about people realizing we are ethical. Not necessarily "more judicious than thou", but I hate fucking hypocrites who trample over the legal rights of others and in the same breath spout inane bullshit about virtue. More than one character we've come across as a stumbling block could do with learning to be a good ruler before they rant about how evil we are. We clearly don't have the same perspective.

Mixing a shitload of different practices of magic together would've seemed a decent practice then, but again, whatever.
[] Layering the Defenses: The composite mesh recovered from Varys was truly an ingenious work... Yet based on it, even more could be achieved.
-[] Develop the Composite Armor, combining the expertise of Fey artisans, Imperial magesmiths, and Celestial spellwork to create the sort of armor that has so far no equal in the world - not hindering the wearer in any way, yet leave no gaps or chinks in his defense. Light and inconspicuous, yet stopping even the blades of demonic warriors. (Progress: 20, Cost: 90,000 IM)

I'm thinking this for Zherys, then
[] Secrets by Devils' Blood Wrought: Valyrian Steel holds many a secret, from what was the first seed that bore this metal-eating material... To what it can yet do.
-[] Find out the mechanisms and effects of the process allowing Valyrian Steel to consume ambient magic and release it slightly changed. Potentially, VS could be used to store magical energies or to transform them to cause specific effects, also study the mechanics of the way that Valyrian Steel "devours" other metals. Especially how it is doing so with Gold, which doesn't corrode naturally, and magical metals like Mythral and Adamantine. (Progress: 12)
and this for Benerro:
[] Waves of the Sea, on Depths and Fire Turned: research the wardings of the Marid house of Mardja.
-[] Wards that could be of use in Efreeti Ritual Fortress (Progress: 15, Cost: 100.00 IM)
Fire-theme of Burny should get him decent enough progress in this shite.
And "uncovering the secrets behind the Valyrian Legacy" seems right up Zherys' alley.

We are the ruler that Machiavelli envisioned when he wrote the Prince. Loved and Feared in equal measure. We are not moral by any means. We are ethical and often times more than fair. But those have nothing to do with morality. Seeing the conflict between the Seven and ourselves as a moral conflict is asinine as time and time again we have not given a fucking shit about morals.
 
Aight, looking at the remaining MAs, here are the only ones semi-relevant enough for on-screen time (i.e. reports, really), except for the Summoning-vote we yet had to have:
[X] You have received reports of Inquisition on the creatures you once encountered beneath the King's Landing. While your Empire is fairly progressive towards the non-humans, same most assuredly can't be said of Westeros as it is now - sooner or later, something will happen, either they'll be discovered and rooted out, or some corruption may get to them, those forced to hide away from the rest of the world in fear.
-[X] Visit Have our people visit the Rat-folk beneath the King's Landing, try to convince them to move cities - Sorcerer's Deep will freely offer them a safe haven if they agree to become your subjects.
-[X] Have the offer include sending some emissaries into our cities so that they could see the places for themselves. (<<< new, since we aren't there in person anymore)
[X] Look for a way for Viserys to contact the "exiles" of Faceless Men under the false persona of Liu of Qarth - under the pretenses of relaying to them the research of the tablet that "he" completed.
[X] Loot the entirety of Mercury Lake in PoE.
[X] Meet with the Candlekeep Courtier, hash out what he needs for him and his Fey to be more effective at the task we put him on - we are talking gear, we are talking consumables, we are talking potential House of Mirrors support.
Also, @Goldfish, have you not placed the Gith order for the 19th on the 1st month? Not seeing in the Armory.
Could you at least place these items, if nothing else? Thanks.
--[X] 1 [1/day, Slotless, Unaugmented (7 ML)] item of Zealous Fury (6,854 IM).
--[X] 2 [1/day, Slotless, Unaugmented] items of Hustle. ()
--[X] 1 [1/day, Slotless, Augmented (15th ML)] item of Empty Mind (3,672 IM).
--[X] 1 [Slotless, (15th ML)] Third Eye: Conceal (24,000 IM).
--[X] X-amount of [(15th ML)] Third Eye: Conceal (effective Psionic Mindblank items - 12,000 IM per item).

Thanks for the reminder. I'll put together an order for us tomorrow.

It's weird how being on my computer for work all day at the office isn't nearly as mentally draining as it is at home. I'm off my computer for the evening.
 
No room on the turn plan for a trip north to try to find Rina's eidolon? Also does the dude from the band of 9 that we recruited (Lionel?) not count as a minion we could send for missions?

Yes we do, what are you talking about?? We have had huge page long debates about our morality. I personally remember at least a dozen arguments.

I recall that being the "Viserys isnt consistent" vote and the "we don't harm children" vote. The first was dumb and the second was crucial to the characters. Other than that we aren't really all that moral and trying to be morally superior is idiotic

Edit: We left moral a long time ago.

Edit2: If you are talking about Aegon...that wasn't an argument. It was a one-sided beatdown.

I mean i personally had a long discussion about weather we should be using flesh forged creature . And i am pretty sure there are more i could look for. There was one we had about contacting bhamut.
 
We could have stayed consistent if people didn't insist on recruiting every damn bundle of evil energy with a vaguely convenient SLA we run into. Not to mention the fact that there's no reason for them to actually be loyal to us instead of spying on behalf of Hell, or all of the divination we'd have to use to do more than pretend we'd know if they strayed, enough divination to psych profile every lord in Westeros twice over.

Which we looked through from a lens of "We can't stand the stick up his ass" and was an argument constantly brought up by one person. As for the former...I don't think that ever happened. We went with it.

We didn't stay consistent because Viserys and his actions often conflicted with each other. Now putting the blame on Viserys recruiting tendencies sounds good in theory but this complaint wouldn't even come out if we were recruiting, say, Angels.
