    Votes that do not follow the template will not be counted!    ​

    At this time I am using a counter system, listing the number of days votes take to be put into action. However for write-in votes you don't know how many days an action may take. For this we will use the old system of Major/Minor Decisions, and I will tell you how many days/weeks/months the plan will take. Remember that every month has 28 days, and that there are 13 months in the year with New Years as a special day alone outside the months. There is no leap year, as their calendar is not accurate to that degree.

    Major decisions are any new endeavors. Finding new investments. Finding new allies (specify what type, where you're looking if possible, what you want from them, etc) finding new trainers, starting new training even if it is with people you already know... Anything new.

    No mixing something that would qualify as a minor decision or free action into your major votes! If you have a question about your votes, ask me.

    Talking with specific people about specific subjects. You can generally only talk with one person at a time with this. There are simple logical exceptions, Husband & Wife combos can be put together as one conversation, brother & sister, stuff like that. I'll clarify if a combo is unacceptable when I see the vote. This is also for continuing any long term action. Any major decision that you have already voted to start (not just mused about in-story) can be a minor action the next time around. Continuing training that you have already begun for example. Continuing a long-term investigation or plot. Stuff like this.

    Making small talk with characters. You will not learn anything special really, but it gives you more insight into their backgrounds and history, can raise/lower their loyalty or other relationship points with you, etc. Raising/lowering and how much depends on rolls.

    These can interrupt any current action(s) and will take precedence over the current plan. A way to change things on the fly as you discover new information or alternate ways to potentially enhance your plan, or change it completely if needed.

    Remember for all votes if you take a guard or other individual with you, you will need to write-in which guard/person you take with you (just saying take a guard or ally will leave the decision of which one up to me) and also whether Daenerys tries to use any future knowledge on the decision as well if it is one of hers or she is present. (She still may decide to try and use her future knowledge without your consent if she thinks it necessary.) These details are sub-votes.

    [] [Plan] X (Current Month, Short Term, Long Term, Immediate Actions, Purchases, etc.)
    -[] Major Decisions: Character name here
    --[] Major Decision 1
    ---[] Sub-conditions of Major Decision 1
    ---[] Sub-conditions of Major Decision 1
    --[] Major Decision 2
    ---[] Sub-conditions of Major Decision 2
    ---[] Sub-conditions of Major Decision 2
    -[] Minor Decisions: Character name here
    --[] Minor Decision 1
    ---[] Sub-conditions of Minor Decision 1
    ---[] Sub-conditions of Minor Decision 1
    --[] Minor Decision 2
    -[] Free Actions: Character name here
    --[] Free Action 1
    ---[] Sub-conditions
    --[] Free Action 2
    ---[] Sub-conditions

    You get the jist of this.

    However, under the plan vote, you will then put a "Priority" Vote.

    [] Aegon Priority: 1. Major Decision 1, 2. Free Action 2, 3. Minor Decision 1, 4. Major Decision 2, etc.
    [] Daenerys Priority: 1. Free Action 2, 2. Major Decision 3, 3. Minor Decision 1, etc.

    This way we can vote on the general plan, then I can separate the order of events in said plan.

    Don't put V1, V2, or any other such revision information into your plan. Just leave it like I have it. Nothing extra. The tally system will update to your newest post. No need to make version markers. It just makes things harder for me.

    If an action in a plan is not one for a specific character, more a general idea of what needs to be done, it will still need to go into the priority matrix.

    At the end of all your votes, put your reasons explaining your vote choice. As I've said before, a plan with reasons will get more weight than one without. Because reasons matter. I care about reasons more than numbers. I need reasons to help build the characters. Get used to putting reasons into your plans, as eventually reasons will become a requirement rather than a suggestion. This post will change when that occurs.

    [] [Plan] X

    You may (but are not required to) put additional reasons to agree with that plan beneath your vote if there are reasons for it that the original vote creator didn't put in that you thought of. The more/better the reasoning inside explaining a vote, the greater the chance it will be added into the story.

    Votes are typically closed after either 12 or 24 hours unless real life interferes. Ties will be either decided by me, or by whoever is in the forum or the Discord that has not voted already at the time. I will @ whoever is currently in the forum or Discord that I choose to be the tiebreaker.

    Plans have specific timelines. Immediate Actions are obviously immediate. Current Month is similarly self-explanatory. Short Term is something that can conceivably be done within 1-3 months, and Long Term is 3-6 months.

    To be clear, what I mean by that is this:

    When listing rationale for why you vote the way you do, it is perfectly fine to state OOC reasons. However there need to be good IC reasons. So if something is questionable, be ready to explain IC what the reason is for the sudden change.

    If I don't ask, assume that I see it as feasible IC.

    Braavos, City of Coin

    That dream was too important to let go of so easily. Try again to remember what it was about.
    Go and put the bulk of your treasure in the Iron Bank.
    Find and hire bodyguards.

    Braavos, City of Coin
    ​

    As you and Dany get dressed, you try your hardest to remember your dream. Unfortunately despite your best efforts you can't recall anything more than faint impressions of... something. It has faded like wisps on the wind. You know it was important, unfortunately all you can do is hope that it comes to you at some later date. Dany is excited to be off the ship. She hasn't had a proper bath in a fortnight and while it was one thing to go unclean when living on the streets, there's no need to do so now. You suspect that the idea of finding a true home of your own to live in is a larger part of her excitement though. Like you, Daenerys has never had a true home of her own, and even you feel some excitement at the prospect of finally having a place that is truly yours and not merely a place you are squatting in or guesting in.

    A home will have to wait however. For now you need to stop at the Iron Bank and deposit most of your valuables. You've been lucky so far, but you can't risk losing the fortune you've risked so much for. The fortune that cost you your uncle Viserys. In retrospect, you have to wonder if you would still take the fortune if you knew Viserys would leave you in order to keep Illyrio's eye away from you.

    The streets of Braavos are broader than those of Pentos. Not by much, but enough to notice. You wonder if it is part of the city having been built by escaped slaves who were forced to work in dark and cramped mines. 'Perhaps they instinctively designed the place to be more open,' you think to yourself. Everywhere people are milling about, loading ships, unloading ships, making deals. Criers are calling out recruiting for new ventures, and urchins are running around looking for work helping load and unload for the ships, or hoping to beg on as a cabin boy. You're interested in looking around at what will likely be your new home, you know you have to take care of business first.

    Directions to the Iron Bank are easy to be had, for 3 coppers a child guides you there personally. You could have simply taken the directions for a single copper, but it has not been too long since you were just like him. 3 coppers can get the boy a good meal that can keep him all day.

    When you get to the bank you get a small room where a banker will assist you with your new account. You announce yourself as

    Choose One
    [] Aegon & Daenerys Targaryen - While you have no access to the Iron Throne account, not being the current holder of that title; your family may have some private accounts of their own that you can gain access to.

    [] Daemon Waters & Shiera Seastar - A bastard of Westerosi descent setting up a new account with the Iron Bank. If anything people will confuse you with Blackfyre survivors, not Targaryen royalty escaped from Baratheon pursuit. No Targaryen would ever take the names of Aegon IV's Great Bastards after all. While still dangerous, it explains your Valyrian looks and may ingratiate you with the Golden Company. You may be able to twist them into something of your own use. Mayhap Daemon had an account here and if you become accepted as his descendant with the Golden Company you might be able to gain access to it.

    [] Lysandro & Lysarria of Lys - Another explanation of your Valyrian features, that carries less inherent risk but also no inherent chance of accessing something that you otherwise may not.

    [] Daemon Blackfyre & Daenerys Targaryen - While you are a proud Targaryen, your identity is not known by many, and subterfuge has already paid off once. Dany's identity is known though. Maybe you can get the Golden Co. AND any family heirlooms.

    [] Write-in

    So I'm going to continue with what you all voted on, but this decision is important and frames much of what comes after in this city. Also, you unfortunately rolled a 4 for trying to remember the dream. I even gave you a second roll and you got a 6. Shame. Maybe another time.​

    Let's go honest. Iron Bank is famed for keeping neutrality in their affairs mostly, and it's not like Varys can get info out of them.

    If our family didn't set up a private account I'm going to strangle our father and grandfather on principle alone. Anyway as @Night_stalker noted the Iron Bank is a commercial interest, as their customer they won't be linking information out unless they want their thousands of years of credibility at risk. Moreover, they might even give us a few privileges because we're a useful tool if King Rober ever defaults on his debts so they'd probably want to keep us happy customers since we might be a potential replacement king given the usual tactics they use.

    I'm sorry, you expect them to be rational?

    One of whom was known for being batshit insane, and the other was Aerys II?

    I'll be grateful if our account's balance isn't just "300 jars of Wildfire, twigs, mud, and assorted pinecones".

    *Accounts might be under the name of Azor Ahai, The Prince That Was Promised, or 1-3 Heads of the Dragon

    While we should go with the Lysandro & Lysarria of Lys cover for other business in the city there is no great reason not to be honest with the bank.

    So, if you roll high enough the account WILL have something special.

    House Targaryen - An heirloom of the house from Aegon the Conqueror's time, lost to history as it wasn't used in forever.

    Blackfyre - I wonder where the sword Daemon took has been kept all this time? It is pretty iconic, if it isn't locked away someone would have seen it by now. Of course you'll still need to convince the Golden Co of your identity.

    L&L of Lys - You randomly picked a name of an account and it holds a surprise.

    It would legitimize our claim on the throne, and perhaps give us the Golden Company.
