How can it be your official beverage when you only have the worst flavours?

Tullys, Starks, Arryns, and Storm-Cloakeds.

At the moment (with no knowledge of secret Diplo and Espionage) Stormlands refuse to talk to anybody unless Rhaenys or Maelys show up in person, Dorne is being Dorne, and the Reach seems like they're mostly going to fight each other, except the Tyrells threw in with House Lannister.

So not a terrible position for the Monster King. This will be a grand civil war indeed.

Hey, i sent you a really fancy message proclaiming my loyalty. A lesser man "COUGH-hightower-COUGH" would take offense at that.

The Faith never got the power of pit and gallows back :( BUT you have:

The Silken Sept (and various smaller septs and septries) in Pentos

The Sept of Winding Ways in Lorath

The Scaled Sept in the Volantine City of Sar Mell

The Shrouded Sept in Sanctuary

Various Septs in Xhon and the Bastion Islands of the Summer Empire

The Sworn Sept at the Wall

And the majority of the Militant Orders base out of Dark Den in the Stepstones and deploy where needed, bar 49 always stationed at the Great Sept in Kings Landing

And then you kinda appear to be going to war with House Hightower who also say they're loyal to me, sooo...somewhat mixed messages are being sent, is what I'm saying. :D

I'm rooting out traitors milord. You know how the Hightowers say one thing and mean the other. If they say they are on your side then they are spies. If they say they are on the other side they are filthy traitors who need to be wiped out.

Well who suspected the Tarly's and Hightowers to not fight even as allies?

The whole Reach is just going to go up in flames and everyone will be stabbing each over to much to really take care or notice who's on who's side. By the time its done, it will look like what I did as Angron to Nuceria in Heresy Rising.

Basically full of skulls and dead people.

Damn that's a lot of hate in that garble :p

This is besides the point as the quote doesn't answer the question. How does a spinning rocket scythe even make sense? Do their bombards use farm tools as salvo?

Basically you attach a sword to the end of a rocket so that as it reaches the end of it's trajectory, it lacks the oomph to keep going straight and starts spinning out of control. You then end up with a rocket scythe as the blade on the rocket gets whipped about and hacks people up all scythe like.

Aren't Mysore rockets a bit advanced for the setting?

There is no way you have Mysorean Rockets when we just started using Matchlock Arquebueses and Bombards. The tubing tech and the weight of the cannons on your ships doesn't make sense. Not only that, but the development of these weapons came out from centuries of development and adaptation of earlier forms of these weapons in warfare, where as the technology for these typed of weapons are new in Westeros, and its even less believable that the raiding society of the Iron Islands would not only adopt this technology but adapt it this efficiently and quickly. It sounds cool, but its a ridiculous and illogical advantage. If you just shoved swords into an early matchlock canon that shit would not work.

These are essentially proto-versions.

The Iron Islands, that culture that makes more regular contact with the East than anyone else in Westeros? Not friendly contact, granted, but yes there's been some osmosis. These aren't the Ironborn of old, if there was a true villain of the Dance it was Veron. Smart, full of devilish ingenuity and that is writ large in the Islands even today, and they have the smiths, the ore, and the sheer bloody-minded warmongering to modify.

I'd suggest less rock throwing in future.
