  • [X] Plan : A Victorious Lion and his search for a new source of Gold
    - [x]
    [X]The Floppy Trout: Edmure Tully is the new Lord of Riverrun… Even Hoster could not plan for time to take him. But now the Floppy Trout is alone… and needs to find out what kind of man he really is.
    [X]The Free City of Saltpans: Saltpans merchant council, in exchange for not fighting for the Mad King, requested the ability to trade freely with the rest of the world, and to be given a charter. The First of its Kind in the Riverlands. It will assist with many economic developments in the Riverlands… and create something greater.
    [X]The Basilisk Bane: The Basilisk Isles... is supposed to be a simple pirate den, not the hub of a hyper-ambitious Pirate King. This is going to be a disaster if not dealt with properly. The Eastern Seas will be burning with Pirates.
    [X]The Westerosi Naval Academy (Stannis Must be alive): Stannis Baratheon has made it his mission to modernize the Westerosi Navy, and Fleet. And he is beginning to do so.
    [X]A Booming Economy: Westerosi goods, primarily Northern Lumber, Valien Silver, Westerland gold, and enough Alcohol from the Reach, are creating a great profit for Westeros.
    [X]The New Wardens: Randyll Tarly, the Man who had won against your father… is now the new Warden, and commands all the Reach's forces. The Tyrells argue and moan… but there is nothing they can do.
    [X]A Lion Dead: Tywin Lannister… is Dead. Long Live the New Lion.
    [X]A Lion Freed: Jaimie Lannister, the Kingslayer… is released from his vows and oaths. To return home to Casterly Rock.
    [X]A New Valyria: Triarch Jonarys has declared himself Triarch For Life, and proclaimed a New Valyria. The East will Burn as he begins his conquest.
    [X]The Great Ghiscari Slaver Western Expansion: Ships prowl the Narrow See. Ships from Ghiscari and Slaver's Bay. They seek to Plunder and Capture all who stand before them. Including Westerosi.
    [X]The Mountains Cry: The King of the Mountains is coming… gathering Strength. And wishes to throw the Andal to the Sea.
    [X]An Eagles Clutch: Jon Arryn's marriage to Lysa Tully has been fruitful in the three years since they have wed. Five Children… two sets of twins, all girls, and one boy… Named Arstan.
    [X]A Night King: A Young Ranger, named Quoren Halfhands, has mutinied at the Wall… and he has crowned himself the King of Night. No one knows why… but his men will follow him to the depths of the seven hells to remain as leader.
    [X]The Wildling Migration (Ned Stark must be alive): Eddard Stark met with a former deserter named Mance Rayder, a man who was trying to become King beyond the Wall. He told him something that frightened him so much… that Eddard Stark requested the Wildlings be Brought South… to stop what is coming getting worse.
    [X]The Drunk: Your father is a drinker. And he could not care for anything but the drink. That was all he did. He drank, and drank, and drank.
    [X]A Tireless King: Your father understood responsibility… at least, that was what he told you. In truth, from the servants and lords who spoke behind his back, Robert didn't begin his reign as a good King. He was a loud, partying indulgent weasel, who spent all the treasury on enjoying the status of kingship, rather than the duty. But your birth changed him. He tried his best to make the Realm Prosper for you.
    [X]Lyanna Stark: The Betrothed who started a war, who was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen. A woman who was the sole driving force of your father's quest. And he saved her, with his brother in Arm, Ned Stark. Now he had her back, and with it… his fairy tale was complete. But as wild as she was beautiful, even the great Robert Baratheon had trouble controlling her willful nature… and it made him fall in love with her even more. At least that's what he told you. Mother does not see it that way. She's far more like Uncle Ned, sad, sullen, and lost.
    [X] Plan: New, Weird Board
    [X]The Targaryen Restoration League: It appears that your Father's Attempts to Stamp out the House Targaryan, was...incomplete. Viserys Targaryen… now a Merchant King in all but name, travels the east, gathering a Retinue to reclaim his throne.

    -[X]The Avatar of the Warrior: Your father was a warrior. He was strong, tall, handsome, a man who could make everyone bow to him with his war hammer. He never lost that edge, that legendary skill in battle. He will fight and he will kill everyone who stands in his way.
    -[X]The Wrathful: Your father's temper was legendary. He flew into rages at the smallest thing, screaming and yelling. He is known to fly into his anger on the regular. And even against you.
    -[X]The Wildling Migration (Ned Stark must be alive): Eddard Stark met with a former deserter named Mance Rayder, a man who was trying to become King beyond the Wall. He told him something that frightened him so much… that Eddard Stark requested the Wildlings be Brought South… to stop what is coming getting worse.

    -[X]A Feud Ended: The Blackwoods and Brackens, after so many millennia of hatred… finally ended it with a marriage… and finally there is peace between two broken families.
    -[X]The Floppy Trout: Edmure Tully is the new Lord of Riverrun… Even Hoster could not plan for time to take him. But now the Floppy Trout is alone… and needs to find out what kind of man he really is.

    -[X]A Full Keep: Peyter Balish… a promising young Economic Genius, has become the main manager of Gulltown's Lucrative ports
    -[X]A Lion Freed: Jaimie Lannister, the Kingslayer… is released from his vows and oaths. To return home to Casterly Rock.
    -[X]A Lion Dead: Tywin Lannister… is Dead. Long Live the New Lion.
    -[X]A Successful Raid: Quellion Greyjoy, after he declared for your father… survived his raid. He still lives, with the Iron Islands under his control.
    -[X]A Royal Army: Your Father had a Dream… a Dream of an Army that could defend Westeros, one that could not only stand without The Lord's consent... and They will stand loyal to you.
    -[X]A Booming Economy: Westerosi goods, primarily Northern Lumber, Valien Silver, Westerland gold, and enough Alcohol from the Reach, are creating a great profit for Westeros.
    -[X]The Targaryen Restoration League: It appears that your Father's Attempts to Stamp out the House Targaryan, was...incomplete. Viserys Targaryen… now a Merchant King in all but name, travels the east, gathering a Retinue to reclaim his throne.
    -[X]The Great Ghiscari Slaver Western Expansion: Ships prowl the Narrow See. Ships from Ghiscari and Slaver's Bay. They seek to Plunder and Capture all who stand before them. Including Westerosi.
    [X]The City Charter's: Your Father's Crowning achievement in his early Reign. He wished to make several cities free of the influence of their feudal lords, and so they can focus on the profits of Westeros, and the wealth of The Nation. These Charters in Several cities South of the Neck, have already ingratiated themselves into the politics of their regions… and they have also earned many of the Lord's Ire… but none can doubt the gold coming into the Westerosi coffers.
    [X]Partition of the Reach (You must take the Last Stag Option): The Reach is broken, the Hightowers are now Lord Paramounts of the Southern March. The Northmarch, under the command of the Tyrells, will never have the same power as they have again. The only mercy Robert had, was letting them all live.
    [X]The Empty Gold Mines: The Lannisters, formally infinite supply of Gold… has run out. They are just… humble miners… with nothing but a fancy fortress… and control of Lannisport.
    [X]A Lion's Accent (Must have Cersei as a Wife): Tywin Lannister, has become the second most powerful man in Westeros… and he sees Robert Baratheon as his greatest Ally. Who knows how Westeros will feel
    [X]An Empty Nest: Jon Arryn feels the weight of his family's death… he desperately needs a child from Lysa Tully. But none came. Now, in poor health… he waits to die, and with him, the Arryn line passes to Harry, a boy he does not believe is ready for him being the last Arryn.
    [X]An Empty Keep: Lord Peyter Balish has been found dead in his keep. Suicide, his wrists slit. A Note, saying he was sorry to Lysa for all he had done to her.
    [X]A Wildling Invasion: The Wildlings have united again, with a new king beyond the Wall.
    [X]The Gift Resettled: Veterans of the Rebellion, tired of fighting, wish to have lands to call their own. So the Gift and new gift were resettled. Now the Watch can focus on the True North… and the True threat beyond.
    [X]The Last Stag: Stannis and Renly died at Storm's End, at the very end of the War, a failure of communications from Lord Tyrell. A Tragedy… Stannis broke before he bent, and his attempts at surrender were naught accepted by Mace Tyrell, who had much to gain from Robert's Suffering… After all, if Robert died, the realm would be in turmoil, and men like him could rise high. Robert Baratheon is the Last Stag of House Baratheon. And with you as his son and heir… the only one who can carry on his legacy.
    [X]A Faithful Man: your father was always a whoremongerer, he loved lying with any woman who came into his bed. Yet when you were born, he stopped. He saw you for the first time and gave your mother a smile that no one saw before. And he changed. The Whores were gone. His drinking lessened slightly. And he never thought about laying with another woman again.
    [X]Cersei Lannister: With Lyanna Stark Dead, the next eligible bachelorette that could have become the Queen of a new Westeros was Tywin Lannister's Eldest Daughter. Beautiful, intelligent, but prideful and spoiled, your father ultimately did not love her as much as the idea of his beloved Lyanna. Their relationship, like most relationships between monarchs, is cold, and loveless… However, the one thing that gives her joy, is you, who takes more after her, than your royal father.
    [X] Plan: Who needs Canon anyway?
    -[X]Wife
    --[X]Lyanna Stark: The Betrothed who started a war, who was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen. A woman who was the sole driving force of your father's quest. And he saved her, with his brother in Arm, Ned Stark. Now he had her back, and with it… his fairy tale was complete. But as wild as she was beautiful, even the great Robert Baratheon had trouble controlling her willful nature… and it made him fall in love with her even more. At least that's what he told you. Mother does not see it that way. She's far more like Uncle Ned, sad, sullen, and lost.
    -[X]Robert
    --[X]A Brother Remembered: Stannis and Renly, your Uncles were never close to your father… at least when they were young. The War changed that. He respected Stannis for his bravery and his skill at holding Storm's End, and Renly for being a constant presence in his brother's life. They are closer now than they had ever been before. It was something out of a fairy tale.
    --[X]The Maimed: The One Antlered Stag. Your father lost his non-dominant hand on the Trident, against Rhaegar Targaryen. Sometimes he looks at his hand like it is still there. He screams at night, about the pain… and how he feels his hand still there, like a ghostly hand on it.
    -[X]The North
    --[X]The Wildling Migration (Ned Stark must be alive): Eddard Stark met with a former deserter named Mance Rayder, a man who was trying to become King beyond the Wall. He told him something that frightened him so much… that Eddard Stark requested the Wildlings be Brought South… to stop what is coming getting worse.
    --[X]A Night King: A Young Ranger, named Quoren Halfhands, has mutinied at the Wall… and he has crowned himself the King of Night. No one knows why… but his men will follow him to the depths of the seven hells to remain as leader.
    -[X]Riverlands
    --[X]A Feud Ended: The Blackwoods and Brackens, after so many millennia of hatred… finally ended it with a marriage… and finally there is peace between two broken families.
    --[X]The Frey Gamble: The Frey's… are trying to usurp the Riverlands from the Tully's… but no one has proof. They want something… and now, they are poised to get it.
    -[X]Vale
    --[X]An Eagles Clutch: Jon Arryn's marriage to Lysa Tully has been fruitful in the three years since they have wed. Five Children… two sets of twins, all girls, and one boy… Named Arstan.
    --[X]The Mountains Cry: The King of the Mountains is coming… gathering Strength. And wishes to throw the Andal to the Sea.
    -[X]Westerlands
    --[X]A Feud Stopped: Gregor Clegane… Armory Lorch. They are dead… there is justice in Westeros… for those that lost family in the Sack.
    --[X]A Lion Dead: Tywin Lannister… is Dead. Long Live the New Lion.
    -[X]The Reach
    --[X]A Successful Raid: Quellion Greyjoy, after he declared for your father… survived his raid. He still lives, with the Iron Islands under his control.
    -[X]Westeros
    --[X]A Booming Economy: Westerosi goods, primarily Northern Lumber, Valien Silver, Westerland gold, and enough Alcohol from the Reach, are creating a great profit for Westeros.
    --[X]The Westerosi Naval Academy (Stannis Must be alive): Stannis Baratheon has made it his mission to modernize the Westerosi Navy, and Fleet. And he is beginning to do so.
    --[X]A Silent Pact: Euron Greyjoy is a Traitor to the Realm… But someone once asked what he wished… and he only said one thing. "Silence."
    --[X]The Basilisk Bane: The Basilisk Isles... is supposed to be a simple pirate den, not the hub of a hyper-ambitious Pirate King. This is going to be a disaster if not dealt with properly. The Eastern Seas will be burning with Pirates.

I am going to be honest. I'm enjoying what is to come.

Joffrey has some... interesting quirks.
 
Joffrey has some... interesting quirks.

What are you talking about ? Joffrey is a great guy with no flaw whatsoever As proven by this videos !!



and this video (the multitude of proof only cements Joffrey goodness further)


I've always found the portrayal of Good King Joffrey by G.R.R Martin and the GoT show to be horrendously biased at best and I'm impatiently waiting for the start of this quest in order to correct the record and hopefully save him from the national tragedy that was the Purple wedding allowing him to lead the seven kingdom into everlasting prosperity

calling the vote: Plan : A Victorious Lion and his search for a new source of Gold
 
The Boy Who Would Be Joffrey
The Boy Who Would Be Joffrey:

You awoke from your slumber and sighed. The day was still so early, with the sun not shining into the keep yet, the clouds were blocking the blue sky.

The World seemed to be so quiet, yet even now, you could still hear the city arising, preparing for the day to begin.

You got up out of your bed and sighed, walking towards the mirror that your mother put into your room, to help you prepare for the day, without servants helping you.

And you looked into the mirror to see your eyes and your hair.

What did you look like:

[]The Stag's Son: You were a spitting image of your Father, Black of Hair and sapphires for eyes.

[]The Lion's Son: You were your mother's son, with Blonde Hair and Emerald Eyes.

[]The Lion and the Stag: Your father was quite Perplexed when he saw you, Blonde of hair, and eyes of Sapphire, and Emerald.

[]The Dragon: It was impossible for you to understand what happened. But it seems your father's grandmother still lived. You had silver hair and purple eyes.

You sighed. What would a mother do this time?

She would wail again, and praise you for the little victories you had.

Including your first victory in debate, and in policy, with the Royal Army being your father's great works, coming from an idea you gave him.


How would you handle them?:

[]Accept them Wholeheartedly: Mother always knew best, and besides, she always was there to support you!

[]Accept them, but quietly: mother did not need to know how you felt. But she would know you appreciated it.

[]Refuse it: You did not want mothers approval for your victories! You were the prince, you needed to do what was done.

[]Refuse it Publically: You did not want her approval! She did not have a place in your victories!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Quietly you gathered yourself. No that was rude. Now you needed to get to work.

Six years old, and already working… learning… leading.

You had no experience in actual rulership, but you did do your best to emulate your teachers…

Who is that Teacher?:

[]Your Father!: Robert Baratheon, the Stag King… the only man fit to see you become a man.

[]Your Uncle Jaime!: Uncle Jaime is the Greatest knight who has ever lived, and that's saying something! After all, he was the Kingslayer, the Savior of King's Landing from the Mad King's Dastardly plan to kill everyone when the War was Lost!

[]Barry the Bold: Barry the Bold, not too old to take your Gold! Barry the Scary! The Lord Commander of the King's Guard, and the only knight who can claim to be better then

[]Jon Arryn: The Old, Wise, and Competent Jon Arryn. He was… to quote Robert "The International Man of Mystery" No one knew how he managed to get that title, but he was a statesmanlike no other… And a fine teacher.

[]Mother: For all your mother's perceived faults and spoiling you… she was very much a master when it came to politics and intrigues.

[]Varys: He scared you… but somehow, he didn't… he seemed more scared of you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But there was always that one talent you had… a talent that early on, no one could see.

And what Talent would that Be?:

[]In Combat: You were a Warrior like your father. You excelled at Fighting, anytime, anywhere, with anyone.

[]In Diplomacy: You wished to control the world with Words… and promises.

[]In Command: The World bowed before Steel, and it bowed before armies. You preferred the Armies.

[]In Court: You heard the whispers and the plots… and made them your own.

[]In The Higher Arts: You Saw the world for what it was. A Place that was bound by magic.


AN: Enjoy and vote in plan format.

I hope you don't mind if I take the opportunity to make a few house clearing points about the current votes @Magoose

@Gumiho Your plan is missing a sub-vote for Joffery's talent.
@Jax You need to give your vote a plan name so others can vote for it.
@Walpurgis Knight You need to mark your Plan: Bobby B Jr. with an [X] else the vote tally won't pick it up.

Hope it helps.
