Yeah, I've noticed that. I don't think there's any reason we shouldn't start on the tourney and set up the KL mission before we head off.Same here, but DP seems pretty eager to get us to the planes for some reason.

I thought we were going to make the preliminary steps of the Grand Tournament before we left? Stuff like spreading the knowledge of it across Westeros and Essos so we can gather a shitload of knights and champions for it would require being done a fair bit before the festival happens.

If you guys get his attention over this I'm sure it will be resolved. It's very likely a case of it just slipping his mind.Yeah, I've noticed that. I don't think there's any reason we shouldn't start on the tourney and set up the KL mission before we head off.
Like the results of the Qohor mission, we still haven't heard about that. Or the thing with the whales.If you guys get his attention over this I'm sure it will be resolved. It's very likely a case of it just slipping his mind.
There is a lot that DP has to keep track of. It honestly isn't surprising that some things get forgotten about for months at a time.Like the results of the Qohor mission, we still haven't heard about that. Or the thing with the whales.
Christ, the Toad Statue. We need to ask him to just tell us about the damn thing, because it's clearly never going to get an update.For example, I'm still waiting on the results of the Toad Statue sacrifice.
I believe Tarrangar wanted to know about the details of it, and DP told them to remind him about it later on.But didn't the whale thing get resolved very recently? We finished the action and everything.
Eh, easily fixed. It's just a matter of poking him when he seems free, and he'll come up with the mechanics. But see my point? There's just a lot to keep track of. DP doesn't deliberately ignore people or bulldoze through actions, it just slips his mind sometimes on what we wanted to do and in what order.Christ, the Toad Statue. We need to ask him to just tell us about the damn thing, because it's clearly never going to get an update.
Yep. We can try to get this done tomorrow if someone remembers to ask DP.I believe Tarrangar wanted to know about the details of it, and DP told them to remind him about it later on.
@Azel, would you mind adding us buying enough Elysian Bronze to forge a set of Reinforced Segmented Elysian Bronze Fullplate?--[] Regular buying:
---[] Buy crafting materials for 500,000 Imperial Marks in the Opaline Vault.
---[] Buy two more sets of Titan Tools there.
---[] Pick up the last commission and commission another 4 Mindblank items.
Added both.@Azel, would you mind adding us buying enough Elysian Bronze to forge a set of Reinforced Segmented Elysian Bronze Fullplate?
Also, is this a good time to try to get Hippogriffs, or should we wait for next turn?
@Goldfish, add this too please. I want to get this out of the way.-[] Kings Landing
--[] Mia and Anya will cooperate with the companions on their respective missions, but maintain some degree of separation for OpSec.
--[] Try to subvert or infiltrate existing information networks.
--[] Set up at least 3 independent cells that know nothing about each other and all get separate orders.
--[] At least one cell should be based in Fleabottom.
--[] Look for loyalists in the Gold Cloaks to subvert.
--[] Look for multipliers like courtesans, bartenders, money lenders, organised crime, etc.
--[] Potential locations for cells:
---[] Near the Fish Market to observe events in the harbor,
---[] Between the Hook and the Muddy Way, to observe events in the better areas near the keep.
---[] Between Cobblers Square and the Street of Steel, to observe events in the western barracks of the Gold Cloaks and the Great Sept of Baelor.
---[] In Fleabottom, due to the locale offering security from the Gold Cloaks and ample disposable patsies.
---[] Between the Eastern Barracks and the Street of Silk, to observe the garrison and to use the courtesans as information sources.
@Goldfish @Azel, make sure to include Tyene here so she can weed out any bad eggs that might potentially slip by Waymar and Ser Richard.--[] Recruitment:
---[] Waymar and Richard will speak with the attending knights, looking for good candidates for the Sept Guard and the Order of the Knights Griffon
-[] Festival
--[] Invitations:
---[] Send Three-Eyed Ravens to Westeros and let them drop off broadsheets announcing the tourney and festival at taverns and to keeps of minor knights, stating the prizes to be won.
---[] Every ship departing to Westeros will carry the same message.
---[] Invite your Westerosi allies (Brune, Velaryon, Doran, Bronze Yon) by brazier. Tell them that you fully understand if they can't attend in person due to the short notice and political concerns, but that you will gladly receive them or whomever they want to send, such as heirs and loyal knights.
---[] Tell Lord Commander Mormont about the event and offer him to Teleport some recruiters to SD so that he might get a few men out of this.
--[] Tourney:
---[] Include a joust, a melee, archery and a spellcasting event organized similar to a melee (meaning a free-for-all, as low-level casters lack the spell for extended 1 on 1 duels).
---[] The prices will be:
----[] Joust:
-----[] 1st Prize is a VS Greatsword, VS Platemail, VS Barding for a horse and 5,000 IM cash
-----[] 2nd Prize is a VS Longsword, VS Shield and 2,500 IM cash
-----[] 3rd Prize a VS Longsword and 1,000 IM cash
----[] Archery: 1st Prize is a Dragonbone longbow +1 and 2,500 IM cash, 2nd Prize a longbow +1 and 1,000 IM
----[] Melee: 1st Prize is a VS Greatsword and 2,500 IM cash, 2nd Prize a custom +1 weapon from our smiths and 1,000 IM
----[] Sorcery: 1st Prize is a amulet of tears with PfE and +2 to their casting stat and 2,500 IM, 2nd Prize a amulet of tears and PfE and 1,000 IM
--[] Recruitment:
---[] Waymar and Richard will speak with the attending knights, looking for good candidates for the Sept Guard and the Order of the Knights Griffon
@Goldfish, I'm a bit unsure about the prizes for the Sorcery event. Does that work out?
Added Tyene.@Goldfish @Azel, make sure to include Tyene here so she can weed out any bad eggs that might potentially slip by Waymar and Ser Richard.
Also, @Azel, the prizes for sorcery are basically a part of their graduation kit, which makes it a bit underwhelming (unless the winner isn't from the Scholarum). What about a scroll of any spell they request -- within reason, nothing we'd ban -- up to the sixth circle?
... I think this one works fine. Usually Westerosi tourneys only offer cash prizes, but if we hand out VS blades, I felt it appropriate to also offer gear for the other events.How about the winner of the Magic event getting a full set of standardized Sorcerer's Deep mage gear appropriate to their class? It's funny, the value of any given set is really close to what you suggested as a prize for the winner if the Alchemical stuff isn't counted. If the winner is already scheduled to get the gear this month, they could instead receive a monetary prize of equal value. For second place, a slightly less comprehensive set of gear would still be nice, with the same caveat of the first place prize, if they were already scheduled to receive the gear this month.

Money is always good, nobody ever really complains about liquid cash. And nobody's going to say no to great gear, either. That said, what do you think about a scroll of the winning mage's choice up to the Sixth Circle in addition to that? Assuming or course that the mages are kept in line with the spell they ask for. I feel like this would get the mages -- especially the prepared casters -- to get super competitive and really enthusiastic about the Grand Tournament.Added Tyene.
As for the Sorcerery prizes...
... I think this one works fine. Usually Westerosi tourneys only offer cash prizes, but if we hand out VS blades, I felt it appropriate to also offer gear for the other events.
Could you give me a suggestion for the abbreviated lists?
----[] Sorcery: 1st Prize is a selection of Standard SD Caster Equipment worth 3,000 IM and 2,500 IM cash, 2nd Prize is a selection of said gear worth 1,500 IM and 1,000 IM in cash
Ah, but details are my idea of fun. Working out something now. Gimme a few minutes.----[] Sorcery: 1st Prize is a selection of Standard SD Caster Equipment worth 3,000 IM and 2,500 IM cash, 2nd Prize is a selection of said gear worth 1,500 IM and 1,000 IM in cash
That fine for you? That spares us working out the details.
An idea for prizes is offers of land grants in the ex-Disputed Lands. A large point of this is to recruit a shitload of knights from Westeros, and letting everyone know we're giving out land and castles like the US government during the prarie race will get a lot of takers that might not be sold for VS gear and Imperial marks, as well as making us look generous and powerful.----[] Joust:
