[X] "I need your House to be strong, Lady Mormont, strong and able to stand alongside any who would make themselves enemies of the Others, who even now stir from their frozen fastnesses, growing bold as Winter approaches." If she questions us or proves skeptical, offer explanations and refer her to other Northern Lords we have dealt with, or Jeor at the Wall, for confirmation.
-[X] "I do not offer charity, but merely an opportunity. I can give you a chance to enrich your lands so that you might afford enchanted arms and armors, talismans to ward of the biting cold and insidious powers of fell Winter, and additional food to chase away the specter of starvation."
-[X] Offer Maege favorable trade terms for any resources Bear Island has in abundance, such as timber, fur pelts, untapped mineral wealth, and so on, along with the possibility of funding a small fleet of whaling vessels which could operate from an improved harbor. We don't want to be too obvious in our generosity, but neither should we be overly concerned with turning a profit. This is about establishing a working relationship and giving Bear Island a chance to be useful in the future, which is going to require some significant economic development.

OOC: The reason this is a break point is because you want to give Maege things and she wants to right what she sees as her debt, so it's going to take some diplomacy to get her to accept economic aid, rather than having to pay you back.
I feel that this really is down to framing, as Artemis said - loose examples that might be applicable:

"It is of value to me that people everywhere have economic prosperity based on fairness and a base standard of living... "
"To better prepare for the Long Night"
"Consider the economic contexts of x) y) and z) and see how to apply them to their own"

Viserys Targaryen: "HERE! HAVE THIS STUFF!"
Person: "How can I repa-"
Viserys Targaryen: "BY TAKING THIS OTHER STUFF AND USING IT TO DO AWESOME THINGS! VISERYS.... AWAY!"

(reads new posts, yep goldfish touches on this, but his vote is more focused on the what than the... not how, but... trappings, I suppose?)

"I like to view debts in an enlightened manner."

"There's worse things to spend one's money on than improving the lands of my vass--er..."

"Economic uplifting is a hobby of mine, I derive great joy from prosperity of others... mostly because I get part of it back in taxes..."

"Debt is a strong word. Call it a loan deferred a few dozen generations when your descendants can only remember all the good times we shared?"

Maege: "Don't make me smack you with this mace, boy."
 
Fair point, but I do not think me switching over from writing updates to writing summaries will be particularly fun for anyone (including myself). Are there any questions that are particularly pressing? I'm fine with going though a list.


no not really its just there doesn't seem to be much story connections between updates but I think that's a problem with me
