Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.

We are in a weird place.
Big and important enough that we need to diplomance the count clans of our province while still a Baron.
But not quite big and important enough to have or be given resources to do so.
So we have to pick and choose and hope nobody gets upset.

I vastly prefer this one, as it focuses on improving our best allies and stopping the rep bleeding for the faction that's most antagonistic towards us, which I can only see as a good thing diplomatically. It's a good time to improve what we're best at and shore up what we're worst at. We can work on picking up the rest later, perhaps, but the Wang, Diao and Bao do seem like the three most important factions to be thinking about right now, to my eyes.

On a personal level, it focuses on Bao Qian - all our prospective relationships are underdeveloped as of yet and he's a nice guy - and has Yu Nuan (who we're adopting, let's not forget, so let's get to know her better and involve her more) - strong wins there. And Craftsmen's Tourney for more Li Suyin and Su Ling is great as we've not caught up with them in a long time, and it synergizes with the Diao option which we really want to get the most out of this turn, so just big win all over as well.

I find Ilmarinen convincing. I do want to take the Wang professional option, but the Wang personal option is only kind of eh from my perspective -- its saving grace is Xuan Shi, but integrating Yu Nuan into our family seems more important.

Alright but here's the thing: there's an additional benefit to picking the Wang option.

I know I mentioned that Luo Zhong doesn't matter, and in a way, yeah he probably doesn't. The way the option was worded seems like he just inserted himself into the scene as a way to fit in. Gotta admit, not the greatest of impression and he's been going lower ever since. Which is unfortunate 'cause I actually like him first impression-wise.

But that issue with Luo and Bao plotline keeps popping, and at this point, we may as well get over it. It also makes sense pairing it with the one option that has Bao Qingling in it. In a way, we can maybe presume that we talk with her about it before confronting Luo Zhong about it. We are not just helping Qingling here, we are helping Meizhen, who we're meeting later as well

Abeo talked and presented it well too
AbeoLogos said:
And Yrs can put down some groundwork on the dynamics with the Wang group that are going to come up, since Meizhen previously joined up around the time Luo Zhong did and some kind of interaction there is upcoming; this will probably concern the Luo Zhong/Bao Qingling plot thread.

It also has the possibility of making future Snakes and Spider commissions (which 4 more are coming btw due to a certain someone) more spicy and interesting so there's that

I'd prefer swapping Meng for Bao, but it has Diao and Boulders which is what I most want.

I like both of those plans and the and I cant choose between Boulders and Bluster and Travelers Corner.
