OOC Kingdom of Ashes IV - Who's yo' daddy?

[The_Universe]

Since hopefully the questions would be asked prior to us going to Jaine, maybe get those set and answered by Monday.... but I don't think they are finished yet... some we may not want to bother with others?

What does everyone else think?

All questions shall wait for tomorrow, when all three of the "communists" will be online. After it's done, the info can be posted here.

 

[Xath]

I won't really be around today after 11, until 5ish.

 

[The_Universe]

Now, is there anything else we need to talk about? Any plans that can be made pre-communing?

There is Archon's trip north to recruit mercanaries for our cause....

OK - when is he going to do that? Has he talked to the rest of the group about it? I'm not averse to running that little jaunt during the larger down time (especially since or next session of KoA appears to be somewhere around Nov. 21) but I don't want to have Archonus stepping out of line with the rest of the circle.

The preliminaries might be something he can take care of here or on the IC thread (or over messenger or e-mail). If he gets the go ahead to pursue his plan with a less-than-whole group, we might be able to take care of it as a side-session.

He needs to talk to all of us about it. Moreover, Justice would not want him going alone. If he is going to "raise an army" he needs a diplomat there with him... if only to help negotiate the price.

I think we can all agree it is something that needs to be done. However, I wonder if it is Archon, specifically, that needs to do it.

I recommend the small team approach. Archon should go - it's his idea and his money. But a moderating influence of some sort may be helpful, as would someone who has more weapons in their diplomatic arsenal than "threaten to kill them or their loved ones."

Knowing Archon and his leap before his mind registers the idea of looking or otherwise thinking before choosing a course of action, hell yes I have a problem with Archon "going north to raise an army".

What is Archon's plan? Who is he going to get in touch with? What kinds of forces is he looking for and planning to hire? What if they're not available? Does he have backup plans? What if it costs more than his initial estimate? There's all kinds of things that need to be thought about here before we undertake this particular task. I understand the value of it; more troops are always a good thing, but let's do this properly. This is a business deal, as I understand it (hiring mercs) and Archon is not someone I'd put in charge of important business negotiations.

Finally, I point to my sig, which should be a guide for this action (at the very least!): A goal is not a plan.

You've got a goal, tell me the plan.

Xath would be willing to go with him as a "diplomat." But I too, would like to know what you have planned for this excursion. Ditto Jeremiah's questions.
