A toll he could set up himself in time at small costs which aids the kingdom and Rhaenyra's reputation. Mutually beneficial enrichment does not put us on his good side after everything else and our hand in helping Viserys find an alternative to Laena. You want to talk to a Velaryon who we actually have a chance of winning over, speak to Laena.The plan is setting up a healthy business relationship due to our aid with the toll business that will make him a lot of cash. If we want leverage, we have to make us some. We won't just randomly be handed it.
What did we vote for Laena to stick around for? Just yanking her chain? Can the thread show some consistency between the characters it votes to be around and the actions it takes for once?Voting Closed

[X] Ask Laena to Stay in King's Landing a while longer
[X] Say Your Goodbyes and Return to King's Landing
[x] write in Ask Laena to Stay in King's Landing a while longer, it would nice to have a friend with similar interests.
If he does this himself we gain nothing at all from it.A toll he could set up himself in time at small costs which aids the kingdom and Rhaenyra's reputation.

You will have a chance to talk to people at the feast.What did we vote for Laena to stick around for? Just yanking her chain? Can the thread show some consistency between the characters it votes to be around and the actions it takes for once?
The point is we aren't going to gain much from it as is, a bit reputation, a smidge of gratitude. Drops in a bucket
Sorry. Think I'm gonna chill until the vote closes.You will have a chance to talk to people at the feast.
I ask everyone to please turn down salt levels.
The point of the exercise is to set up a bureaucratic entity that we can later build upon to expand the state capacity of the realm and centralize power on us, the monarch. We will also have a chance to set up further trade and banking ventures through it to enrich ourselves.The point is we aren't going to gain much from it as is, a bit reputation, a smidge of gratitude.

Turning this into a grand multi turn finance scheme we'll struggle to follow through on to juggle within the Lord of Laws title pursuit, Dorne Marriage visits, Martial training, Alicent Romance, and getting over our hangups with Rhaenyra's sisters?The point of the exercise is to set up a bureaucratic entity that we can later build upon to expand the state capacity of the realm and centralize power on us, the monarch.

Fair enough.I'd rather we don't. It would probably be better to wait a bit until we're married, gained a seat at the small council, set up the RTC, etc.
Getting more defining achievements under our belt would give us more material to work with here, so I'd wait until we have more of these than "just" our knighthood
Can we please not add this to our collection of spinning plates? Especially not at the cost of snubbing Laena after asking her to stick around just to combine it with talking to Corlys ?
This action is directly in pursuit of the Master of Laws title and naturally integrates with our Dorne visit, diplomatic overtures to the Velaryons and our long-term plans to win over other lords through diplomacy and a spot of bribery.Turning this into a grand multi turn finance scheme we'll struggle to follow through on to juggle within the Lord of Laws title pursuit, Dorne Marriage visits, Martial training, Alicent Romance, and getting over our hangups with Rhaenyra's sisters?

By your command.I do not want to see anymore people getting rather rude and salty just because a plan does not have someone they want to talk to. That is not acceptable behavior.
There's the feast for Daemon that will be an interlude. You will have a chance to talk to many people there, so if you don't talk to someone in the plan, you will have a chance to talk to them then.
So again, chill it with the attitude people.
I mean, it is now just winter. Perfect time for a cloak.Btw I have been waiting for this moment!!
I forgot about it too…
Ahem! For the people who voted to keep the shadow cat pelt, I ask you, where is it! Where is the unless piece of flayed skin! Has anyone ever even seen it wore! Has anyone even mentioned it on rhaenyra! No! Not since we first returned from the north! Yet! We could have given it to viserys! At less he would have appreciated it!
Sorry had to get that out. I also wanted to use the cross out line thing! I learned something new today! …now, just a hundred more thing…
Hardly. It's on our character sheet along with 3,500 gold dragons from somewhere, can't for the life of me recall where /s
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Isembard Arryn
1. Isembard Arryn has been waiting for us to speak with him for half a year already. It's time to actually do so and it would massively help with the toll plan. His aid and insights are extremely valuable to ensure that we don't get outmaneuvered by others in the negotiations.
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Qoren Martell
2. This is our last chance to speak with Qoren until we travel to Sunspear and we should use it. He can aid us with our other actions and the more time we spend with him the more comfortable we will be with our husband to be and the whole marriage thing. In particular, I hope he has some idea how to help us with the Alicent situation.
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Lord Corlys Velaryon.
3. Seems to be our only chance to speak with Corlys for a while to come and this would thus be the best moment to mend some fences. If we want to be friendly with the Velaryons long-term (and we *do* want to be friendly with the other dragonrider family) we need to make sure he is at least not actively carrying a grudge against us.
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Gwayne Hightower
4. Since I don't want to speak with Otto about Alicent right now, but push that back until after our Dragonstone trip, it would be useful to have him lay the groundwork while we are gone.
-[X] [Action] Propose a Plan to Collect The Stepstone Tolls
5. This can give us a lot of influence, respect, power and lays a foundation for a crown bureaucracy that would be a massive aid in solidifying our rule. And we need to this now before everyone scatters and Corlys sets up his own arrangement. A must do.
-[X] [Action] Prepare for a Trip to Dragonstone
6. We kinda promised Alicent and we kinda need the stress relief. We can also invite Laena along, which frees us from having to talk to her this turn, thus allowing more AP for other time-sensitive stuff.
