Prince Aladdin Quest (Disney Villains *Almost* Victorious)

[X] Plan: Meet the Crew

So why do people seem to not want to get a magic advisor?

We'll get the advisor either way, it's just that meeting them lets us know things like their general personality and level of competence, or if they have any special skills/traits for specific things. While I do support getting it done this turn, the option doesn't seem to be time limited, so we should be able to take it next turn with minimal missed opportunities.

Edit: Huh, I stand corrected.

I think the magic advisor is the one we DON'T actually start with. It says we need to find one I believe and it costs money.

It also has the highest chance of success in the magic branch.

We will be pressed for time if we tell everyone our memory problem with our enemies poking/testing us. We'd buy time by not telling the world at the cost of internal problems.

Bigking has the right of it. At this point there isn't an occult advisor position, and I'm not going to spend money without it being voted for.

Well we have the cash reserves and none of the other actions are using gold....

[X] Plan: Meeting and Greeting Magic
-[X][Prince] Make the announcement. The people will be sympathetic and will likely rally around their Prince. Outside forces may perceive this as a weakness to take advantage of.
-[X][Martial] Meet with your General (roll for how impressive they are)
-[X][Stewardship] Meet with Minister of Trade (roll for how impressive they are)
-[X][Diplomacy] Meet your Chief Diplomat (roll for how impressive they are)
-[X][Intrigue] Meet your Spymaster (roll for how impressive they are)
-[X] [Learning] Meet the Dean of the University (roll for how impressive they are)
-[X] [Magic] Try to find someone that knows about magic (roll for how impressive they are)
-[X][Persona] Correspond with Jasmine
-[X][Personal] Study at the University

While this might cause issues with outsiders, we need a properly united Ababwa behind us.
You're likely to want plan "Meet the Crew" for a plan with the magic advisor.

Just where the votes stand at the moment.
 
As a note for those who may have missed it earlier in the thread. At the moment there is no magic advisor. If you want one then you have to vote to acquire one and spend the gold.
 
I'm going to abandon my original plan for something that may be more useful. We need a magical advisor.

[X] Plan: Meet the Crew

Switching my vote, as I was originally reading the thread on a phone and mis-read what this plan did.
 
[x]Plan Dechs
-[x][Prince] Make the announcement. The people will be sympathetic and will likely rally around their Prince. Outside forces may perceive this as a weakness to take advantage of.
- [x][Martial] Meet with your General (roll for how impressive they are)
While it's great that Aladdin's orders can be interpreted and carried out by his general; it might be a good idea to actually meet them in order to determine their personality and avoid conflicts.
- [x][Stewardship] Meet with Minister of Trade (roll for how impressive they are)
The Minister of Trade has their finger on the pulse of Ababwa's economy. Meet with them so that they're not working at cross purposes with Aladdin by accident.
- [x][Diplomacy] Establish a diplomatic embassy in Agrabah
Agrabah is a meeting point for many of the trade routes on the African continent; and as such not only does it receive a panoply of trade goods, it also collects information from the rest of Africa. Having a diplomatic office there means that not only will that information reach Ababwa faster, but your diplomats will be able to jump on opportunities as they arrive.
- [x][Intrigue] Cast your net out further, begin expanding your intelligence network
There are far more things going on than any one kingdom could keep track of. But the Spymaster is doing their best. Gain more information about what's happening in the wider world, and possibly pick up rumors that could lead to opportunities.
-[x] [Learning] Meet the Dean of the University (roll for how impressive they are)
When meeting with top minds it's best to get to know the biggest brain of them all. The dean may be able to give Aladdin insight on how to focus his studies.
-[x] [Magic] Try to find someone that knows about magic (roll for how impressive they are)
As Jafar and the Genie both demonstrated, magic can be an incredibly potent force for both good and evil. But at the moment Ababwa lacks anyone that can truly be held up as a magical protector. That needs to change, fast.
- [x][Personal] Correspond with Jasmine
Better to stick to how Jasmine wished to conduct things. Pen her a letter, tell her about Ababwa and what's been happening. Barring any state secrets of course... Can affect relationship with Jasmine.
- [x][Personal] Look into knowledge pertaining to People - You've a cheap sort of charm to you, but that's not going to cut it forever, especially now that you're in the big leagues. Try and figure out how to talk in high society, maybe the Sultan or
