That's already his opinion though.
Hes committed to the attack, just Independently of allying with the Shishigui
The point of divergence here is a disagreement on whether or not the Shishigui are worth speeding up the timetable or not.
Hes not gonna turn a blind eye here
Yeah, I'm talking about cementing the idea of "Yeah shishigui aren't worth it" entirely. Nuke the Shishigui into the ground and have our Cyan right behind us while Ling Qi gets the Starstone mostly secure.
The structure of this vote kind of annoys me on a strategic level.
At the moment the Shishigui folks are attacking the Sect actively, the Twelve Stars are hostile but their Great Khan is still mustering, and the White Sky are off building a snow castle that is probably some kind of locus for the Iron Toothed Crone or something.
None of these factions are hostile amongst each other as of yet, but Twelve Stars doesn't like either of them very much and White Sky was actually a bit insulting to the Twelve Stars representative.
Given the forces arrayed here, White Sky doesn't matter and is strong so don't attack them as they're liable to just book it, Twelve Stars is too strong to attack and abduct so don't bother, which leaves the Shishigui and the space rock. Which leaves us making a move that doesn't actually significantly
change or really improve the strategic situation at all unless we can secure the Starstone. If we do secure it, all we've done is keep it out of the hands of the White Sky so they can't use it as leverage against Twelve Stars, out of the hands of Twelve Stars so they can't spool up their mustering faster, and basically rip the Shishigui's bargaining position out from under them in this instance. But given the forces arrayed that seems very difficult to achieve.
I'm annoyed because we're basically left to pick an obvious path of least resistance, that basically hinges on the macguffin everyone here cares about. We could try for the White Sky in order to attempt a frame job on the Twelve Stars and Shishigui here and get the White Sky more hostile towards Twelve Stars but that's a bit of a long shot.
