Here's the link: http://leaguefactions.net/nyroth-lore-event-iii/ And then my thoughts: Secondary Champions: Lulu! A good and versatile champion, who can also support well. Tertiary Champions: EDIT: Research project: I like the The Fae Realm one for the future potential that opens. Also the New Marai Republic is interesting. Industry project: I don't think we need more Military, so I'm toward the Lunari one. Commerce spending: I'd like to refill the little lost of mercenaries, as well as accelerate Research and Industry. About the "Buy Demacian prisoners": I don't think it's so good, but it's the only way to gain some Industry this time and also return neutral with Demacia. Two birds with one stone. EDIT: I would like to point out that we can select all this three options, we don't have to choose. Espionage: Now that there is also SI who can try to hinder or sabotage us, going with the Counter-espionage is the safer solution. Maybe no one will attack us, but why risk now? Petitions: In this case I want to ask you: do we need help in the field for the last tournament? We lost our last feutured match, so maybe we need to boost it, whereas the other factions can also do it. Sanctions: Sincerely, considered the latest addition of champions, I don't think “shield” rule is so needed. Krocylea: Both SI and Freljord have damaged Krocylea, so take it for ourselves or keep it under League jurisdiction. EDIT: I would give it more willingly to Ionia, rather than to the other two.

We do need another support since nami is our only current one. Viktor would also give a bit more diversity in mid than just assassins. Research: Flying boats, what happened to flying boats? Industry: Flying boats should go here if not possible as a research project Commerce: Probably best if we buy prisoners, accelerate research, and donate three fitty to Ionia who definetly isn't the Loch Ness monster Espionage: counter espionage since SI hates us right now Petition: macro, cause more boats Sanctions: stay neutral Krocylea: lets give it to Ionia but only if they promise to not be dicks Edited by The Red Warden, Dec 8 2014, 05:32 PM.

![]() Aight, I'm better. Secondary Champions: DAMMIT LULU. WE WERE FINALLY GONNA GET SIVIR TOO! Tertiary Champions: Siiiigh.... Viktor.... I will admit Viktor would be nice. Research project: I want nothing to do with the new marai republic. Nami has had enough influence on Bilgewater and I'd like for those ties to EXIST but not for them to have a leading influence. Too lawful good. Wouldn't approve of the pixie slave trade. Speaking of... well Fae realm is the only one that doesn't suck outside NMR. So Bilgewater is now researching fairies. Industry project: Lunari church time. I joked about allying with Targon, Diana will provide hefty influence and a moral code of the kind we need. All hail the new lunar republic. Commerce spending: Buy back the prisoners. Maybe we should take them to Aeaea to "Help burn it down." The least we could do. We may not want a demacian alliance, but Industry and NOT being on their bad side is good. Espionage: Counter-espionage. But I think noone will attempt. SI has secrets to guard, Ionia is looking neutrally at us, and Freljord... well I dunno. Edited by Jpdaniel, Dec 8 2014, 06:18 AM.

*ahem* Maokai is a very viable support. Secondary Champion: Talon. Even though I hate Noxians, Talon is actually pretty nice. =3 I think this would give us another mid and top laner (as if we don't have enough already) Tertiary Champion: Both Zaunites, which I don't like. Twitch is a James Bond Villain gone wrong and Viktor is a sociopath who leads a cult wanting to make everyone cyborgs. I'm voting for Twitch just because our only ADC's are Graves and Miss Fortune Research Project: Refer to my older posts for my thoughts on the other research projects. The Fae Realm: Intradimensional research. One of my favourites. While I'm note sure if this is the same Fae Realm Lulu came from (which is called the Glade, Florida) it did cause Bilgewater to get quarantined and some summoners unable to cast a single summoner spell (all the same spell in fact. What a coincidnece) I don't think this would very helpful. New Marai Republic: While I don't agree the Marai should call their country "New Marai Republic" I do agree this does seem like the best research project. The Marai we chose gave us a +10 research bonus, if we complete this it may increase. Plus the Marai would want to help us for single handedley rebuilding their civilization. And with the Marai city bigger, more military research, and more space to build robots. Industry Projects: Since the poll still isn't up, I'll suggest something here now that our dinosaurs are on standby: Jurassic Park on Blue Flame Island Commerce: Definitely buy back the Demacian prisoners. Supporting Noxus was a big mistake. Espionage: Gain research. While Bilgewater is shaping up to become the nicest faction overall, if anyone catches us, we blame it on Gangplank. No harm done. Petitions: Macro-benefits. We're not going to finish building our dinosaur zoo with banning a summoner spell Freljord and Shadow Isles: I think we should condemn Zaun for starting a voidpocalypse. >> Krocylea: I say keep it under League ownership. This means we can build or zoo on top of League space in Monsku, where the League's base is. Edited by Rextreff, Dec 8 2014, 03:07 PM.

Secondary Champion: Lulu; we already have two solid ADCs which rules Sivir out and Talon is generally outclassed as an assassin by the slippery little fish that is Fizz. By process of elimination, Lulu should be our pick to bolster our support lineup. Tertiary Champion: Viktor; as stated, we have enough ADCs and having Viktor's wave clear and poke potential opens up some new paths to Viktory for us. More importantly, Viktor is a boss. Research: Fae Realms seems like the most neutral option, and even comes with the benefit of cooperation with Zaun in a scientific manner; perfect! Industry: Military. If we want to be able to fulfill our duties as overseers and peacekeepers on Nyroth, we need the troops to be able to do so. Commerce: Personally, I would like to throw some money at Zaun just to see what would happen, but more realistically, the Demacian Prisoners idea seems valuable. It doesn't even have to entirely break character as profiteering pirates because we can eventually sell them back to Demacia for even greater profits. Win-win! Espionage: Counter-Espionage. Sanctions: Condemn Freljord for breaking their goody-goody character and potentially drive a wedge between them and Demacia through that condemnation. As for Shadow Isles, publically condemn Aatrox, but pursue no formal action against the Isles themselves. Krocylea: We have already proven to be able to rule justly and honorably over many of the other islands, and have been able to help their inhabitants along the way. For this reason, we stand a very good chance of gaining control over the island from the League and still looking heroic by doing so. In summary: Viktory for Zaun, profit for Bilgewater! |

Secondary champ: It's gotta be Lulu. The potential for another support (Or really any other lane) is just too good to pass up Tertiary Champ: Viktor, as having a mage that isn't TF would be really nice. Research: I'm down for the new Marai Rebublic, it'll give us a nice boost in pretty much any way the Marai can help. Industry: I think the Church is the best option, Moonstone, round two! Commerce: I think Military, Research, and Demacian Prisoners are the best option. Espionage: Worked so far, back to counter spying! Sanctions: I think we should (If possible) do nothing here, let's try and pursue neutrality over anything else. If not, let's back them up. Krocelya: I think we should give it to Ionia. They know Balance better then anyone else, so they can take the damn place. |

Secondary: Lulu. More supports is always a good idea; we never seem to have enough people who play Nami, so having more options is good. Tertiary: Viktor. Aside from the obvious Zaunite connections, we have a good amount of people who can play him, given the Zaunite presence within Bilgewater. Research: I'd prefer, in descending order: Fae Realms, New Marai Republic, Letters of Marque. Industry: Lunari, I guess. Given the peace edict and the destruction on Krocylea, I think we want to avoid combat from now on. Commerce: either Research or, this feels weird, Demacian prisoners. (What? You're thinking. Xalk wants to free the prisoners? Clearly there is some Ionian mind-magic at work here.) The only reason I'm up for this option is in order to reassert a True Neutral alignment for Bilgewater. I wouldn't be happy about it, but it's for the best, right now. Espionage: Same as always. Defense. Petitions: I'm thinking macro. We lost our featureds, but I think that can be fixed: we hadn't really practiced, and with Krocylea going on we were a bit fractured. Now that everyone's on the same page again, we can try and regain dominance. Sanctions: I think we should condemn the Freljord, because VOID RIFT. However, I'm unsure how to respond the the Isles. I will leave that decision up to you, respected summoners. Krocylea: Step 1:Take it. Step 2: ??? Step 3: PROFIT. Obviously.

I forgot to throw my hat about Krocylea. Ask for it ourselves. Give the surplus food from friggin staple crops and offer assistance at the price of... well... crap they really don't seem to have much. ... Give it to Ionia. They tend to like worthless pieces of land. look at Shon-Xan I'm neutral about sanctions. Both deserve what they got and frankly I don't know what they could get WORSE.

I'd like to point out that WE CAN SELECT MORE THAN ONE OPTION WHERE TO SPEND COMMERCE ON, and given the amount of Commerce we have, we should do this. I emphasize this because it seems that many of you think we can choose only one option.

Champions: I'd like to get both Lulu and Sivir, but if we can't select a Secondary instead of a Tertiary, then I'd vote for Lulu and Viktor. Research: In the long run, I think the New Marai Republic is our best bet. Bilgewater has the potential to be so much more than a den of pirates, and we've made a lot of progress throughout this arc; we should continue down that path. Industry: The Lunari. Much like the Marai, they're a new aspect of Bilgewater worth exploring. Commerce: I think we're already maxed on mercenaries. The other three all sound fine, though my strongest preference goes to buying research assistance and prisoners. Espionage: Let's stay on the defensive. Petitions: Both sound fine, but my preference goes to macro. I'm in it for the long run. Sanctions: Those two fools were playing with forces far beyond their control. I think the sanctions they got were fair, though. Is there an option to abstain? Krocylea: While I'm hesitant to be all buddy-buddy with Ionia, I think they're better equipped to deal with that mess than we are. I'm also willing to keep it under League supervision. If either needs some help, we can probably afford to spare some crops from Emain Ablagh. Edited by Vespertinity, Dec 8 2014, 10:13 AM.

General reminder: if you've got other ideas for Nami to consider, just let me know and I'll see about adding them in. I can't promise to implement everything as a question: sometimes, it'd be too complicated, or just something too far beyond the scope of Bilgewater's current politics. But I'll give it serious thought. Think of this as a meeting with Nami: you can pitch anything you like.

The condemn/defend thing may be abstained from yes. However, since Ionia is most likely going to defend Freljord and make their sanctions half irrelevant, we should condemn them. If you feel that robbing them of an island is too harsh, then feel free to give them Krocylea since it was ultimately them that saved it, not Ionia. Shadow Isles. I won't kill them, but I won't save them. Also we can spend 97 commerce so yeah. |

Champions Secondary: Lulu: I feel like we aren't lacking for ADC or Assassins, but we can always use another flexible mage. Lulu can top, mid, and support. Heck, there are some players who Jungle/ADC with her as well. She's far too flexible to pass up. Tertiary: *ahem* Uh, Personal Bias aside, Viktor I feel is a superior choice to twitch. We aren't hurting for ranged carries, but we could certainly use another mage. Research New Marai Republic: You bet I'm down with helping to restore a civilization to glory. Doesn't help that I believe in Nami and her vision for Bilgewater. I'm much more down with a Neutral, Commerce focused Bilgewater allied with Zaun than a Noxus Lite, essentially Noxus's personal Navy. The Fae Realm However, would be an acceptable second choice. Industry Lunari Church: Restore the Lunari! Commerce Research: Research is always good. Buy Demacian Prisoners: Again, I would like to see Bilgewater move away from Noxus, and this is a step in the right direction. Espionage Counter: Not a single reason in the slightest to try anything risky when we're so far ahead of everyone else. It hasn't failed us yet. Petitions Macro: Long term goals people. The Arc is almost over anyway. Sanctions Condemn: Both SI and Frel messed up big time, and they deserve what they get. EDIT: Krocylea Meh. All of these options are pretty bad in truth. We give it to SI, we look like we're bad. We give it to Frel, SI REALLY doesn't want anything to do with us, and Frel might not even return the favor. We keep it, we're greedy and manipulating. Give it to the League, we can't make a choice. Gaaaaaah. ... *sigh* Give it to the Ice-People. We've kinda gone past the point of no return after bombarding SI. We might as well patch up our relations this way. EDIT 2: On second thought, give it to Ionia instead. Edited by Still Eternity, Dec 9 2014, 12:30 AM.

Secondary Champions: Obviously voting for my Lulu. Probably one of my top 3 supports at the moment! Tertiary Champions: Viktor would do nicely. It would be nice to have another ranged mage in the midlane other than TF. Research project: Going for The Fae Realm or New Marai Republic. Industry project: Lunari would be a good choice, I think we're good on military for a while. Commerce spending: I'd like to save some of the Demacian prisoners, gain favor, and spend some commerce on Research. Espionage: Counter-espionage or hinder opponent. Petitions: Both sound good. Probably vote for Macro. Krocylea: Keep it for ourselves. |

I think we lost some of them in the battle with the Void, so replenish them may be handy. But Freljord wouldn't stayed if Ionia hasn't stand between SI and the Krocyleans. I see Ionia as the hero of Krocylea, not the Freljord who fled and then came back thanks to Ionia.

That's just some reasoning behind it. It's more of Freljord being left with no islands if we successfully condemn them which is somewhat mean. |

Personally I don't want to condemn them, but they don't deserve to keep Krocylea. Also, they have another island: Argyre. It's only one island, but the same is true for Ionia. |

If a condemnation succeeds they lose an island along with the no protection thing. I'm still saying to go for it because Freljord isn't our friend, won't be our friend, and probably will never be our friend. So if we don't give it to them, they will have no islands should we condemn and succeed. Edited by Naggarok, Dec 8 2014, 01:17 PM.
