That was another swaying point. Odds of one of our guys dying are less on this side of the battle.

So, it seems the Greyjoys fleet outnumber even Stannis's, and Joffrey has roughly 10-15,000 men less than myself or Renly.
And unless the dice hate us, those numbers should be dropping even further. |

Also, by my count we're short a bannerman. Are we looking to add Tyrion to our banner and behead my prisoner?

I believe personally it is either the Greyjoys or ourselves that Tyrion is considering. I figure we give him til the prisoner deadline to choose whether to join us or not, and if he doesn't by then, we offer Florent the chance to live another day and fight for a better king.

I don't think we can let Stannis have Axell back without paying very dearly. I wish we were somewhere close to being able to buy that faceless man.

Hoops! Want a promotion?
THREE Hands dying certainly can't happen, right? |

I must admit being a little bit wary about the track record of Hands in general, and especially that of House Stark Hands in battle. That said, if serving in that role helps House Stark I will accept.
Agree that allowing Stannis to retain all bannermen while we have lost one is probably not ideal. I suppose it could offer an avenue for peace with Stannis, but I feel like we've probably passed that point. |

How big a surprise was it to see Joffrey siding with Stannis? I saw that we had a bannerman visit him (Karstarck, I assume) earlier - did we expect him sitting, aligned with us, or exactly what came to pass?

It was a mild surprise, but Bug told me he left Joffrey even more confused than before he arrived - he was all over the place. His initial guess was he'd sit tight, but there was no definitive info.
I do hope, however, that this has dissuaded JOffrey from bending knee to Stannis - Those two together can no longer put together a serious force. |

No. I won't know till the night processes.
But, in terms of land forces, we outnumbered them by ourselves even before the battle. |

I would be willing to bet Stannis is doing everything he can to woo my Father and Sister right now.

Considering a Maester doing a profile on Stannis and Balon might be a good idea too, to get a feel how much this battle hindered them.

I have a pre-battle report on Stannis already, so it'd be nice.

For what it is worth, I've made requests to Littlefinger for less than 4K to give information that does not precisely fit into the maester profile. Such as "how many troops did Stannis lose in the battle" or something like that.
If you already have a profile on him, perhaps something more targeted could save a little bit of cash. |

I have the ability to capture Axell Florent, but not much else. I'll have to see what assets I have when I get that update, but that's it.

Makes me think it is entirely possible for him to be in position to make major waves relatively soon.

Julio - Send your raven to Tyrion - Let him know his down payment is coming today, and our offer has increased by 10,000. 5 extra today, 5 extra when he joins.

Theon, I agree that Littlefinger is a big wildcard at this point.
I suspect Varys is less of one, from what I've seen of his posts about finding his own path in the world instead of the one suggested for him by FOFC-GRRM. |

No sign of The Jackal so far.
We lost Ser Axell, so that is not exactly full of win. Going to be an interesting day of diplomacy to see where the voting heads - Stannis is making his intentions known. |

Also, this is going to be a less than ideal day for me in terms of participation. Downtown at the office, have a meeting after work, etc. I'll do what I can in terms of parlay with TheJackal but this may end up being a non-starter if we aren't ever around at the same time.

No big loss there, to be honest. I'm not sure what Stannis would have paid, and it just makes my attempts to get him to be the lynch target easier. |

Which is also why I thought I'd join up the team to see if I could help overcome what might possibly be coming.
Everyone else was probably a week away from being honorable enough so I figure I've been protecting your men nearly every night that it would only be fitting to join up. |

No word back yet from Tyrion, Robb. I'll keep watch for his raven.

Well, I think we have a pretty good chance of being the voting target today. We've got three votable bannermen, no one else has more than one.
I would be interested to see if the neutrals will actually take a position at this point - particularly Varys or Littlefinger. Joffrey has no bannermen to protect, so he should be in full "size up ruler" mode at this point in time. Offering him a suggestion that he not antagonize us on votes might be appropriate. |

I think we only have two votable bannermen. Note it says Ser Barristan is a non-bannerman - he's the Commander of the Kingsguard. I believe that means he's unvotable.

Nice for us, given that we don't have a "favored" role - do we know what weight Selmy's vote carries? Full? If not, more or less?

I cannot be voted for. I can't do emmisaries. I can capture.
I assume my vote stays at half but it'd be valuable to get the full. |

Nothing really changes for Selmy except he's now part of House Stark, is eligible to be used in war, and is a permanent BG for the King.
