Welcome gentlemen, our conquest of Nyroth continues. Link for those interested

So do we overthrow the brazen upstart who dares to challenge the Shadow Isles? Or do we try to make friends and ally ourselves with him?

Personally, while it may be more prudent to work with Kaius, I say we unleash the crabs of war and dispose of him. To do this I recommend we enlist the aid of Bilgewater, they are looking to make a good impression if they want to secure an alliance, so we should use that to our advantage. Now this is where it gets interesting, once we achieve our inevitable victory it may be a good idea to give power back to the people, and send the gauntlet to the league, it might go a long way towards fixing our dire favor stats. However, more military power for ourselves never hurt, and if we end up going the mass military into Aatrox route it may not be a terrible idea to simply take the gauntlet and island for ourselves. As well, having extra industry could be used to gain favor in the long run.

Also, while Syndra is cool and all, she will most likely be opened up as a tertiary champion, something that with our favor is completely out of reach.

Also I believe we should help Ionia with their ghost problem, out of the goodness of our cold hearts ;) .

In all seriousness lets try to not be dicks to them this time.

I agree wholeheartedly, our strength is in our millitary and industry, we are the Isles, they fear us too much to ever let us have too much favor, we should assist Ionia, not betray them, that is for the last few days if ever, Bilge probably wants to buddy up with us, so lets take the island ourselves, we have the power, and keep the gauntlet for ourselves. If we had a guarentee we could just flat earn Syndra, that'd be one thing, but its not worth the risk right now. He wants eternal life? There is life in death.

Considering I played a part in writing this, I shall stay uncharacteristically neutral in the proceedings. Still, I can comment on the Ionia situation, since I have no part in it. I think we should absolutely help Ionia. There seems to be little to gain from hindering them, aside from pure dickery, and quite a bit of favor to gain if we help. I voted to help Ionia.

Submit to the Void
First off, I'm amused that you sent poor Likal of all people on the scouting mission. He's a chemist. Who exploded himself to the Void. And now shares brainspace with an overly curious Void monster. Not who I'd send on sneaky sneaky time. xD

Anyway.

"A seemingly unending pool of life-force"? Oh, you better believe we're taking that. And free slaves to rebuild our military to march on the Daeyux nexus? Bonus.
I kinda wanna give the gauntlet to the Institute to bolster our Favor, but I wouldn't mind the military reward either. Less interested in Syndra, though.

By the by, is there a (public) list somewhere of what champions have what traits? (Down in Champion Traits). I'd kinda like to send a champ with the Assassin trait if we have one. I feel it could be... useful. ;)

Also, I'm totally down for helping Ionia (actual help, not "knife in the back" help). Similarly wouldn't mind asking Bilge for some cannonfire in exchange for some ghost pirates or something.

We should go the favor choices (depose, gauntlet). We get plenty of military by resurecting the king's units as a bonus :)

I voted to give the Island to Syndra, but eh, it probably won't end up that way. On another note I'm voting not to backstab Ionia even though I would like to just to spite them even more for blocking our Secondary Champion petition but... At this point I'd prefer to just be really nice until we're really in like First Place.

Things turned out surprisingly well considering our track record in military engagements. First RNGesus blessed us with Amumu, now we get a very strong military unit, and gain access to Syndra as secondary. Things are looking up for us spooks.

Also we owe Bilgewater big time, we couldn't have done it without their help.

Im happy we won the island but I disapprove of giving the gauntlet away dont think we really need syndra. Not to mention it sorta screwed ionia a little bit.
