New Greyjoy

[The Smith]

So who do we want for Lord.

Purely for game reasons I would like to select Seth. He is on the most and is the best player.

Harrel though would probably realistically be the choice the ironborn.

I had Harlay join so we can say he split the tough ass vote with Harrel

So what do you think?

Ironically, I think Seth would have a much better case if he went with his main rather than Mortimer. I wonder if it's worth having someone shout his name rather than Mortimer and see the reaction?

I agree that probably Harral would get a larger vote than Mortimer if for no other reason that is he known by the others. He's not ideal but at least they've heard of him. They'll have heard of Seth too but Mortimer? The trouble is Seth is a Greyjoy, Mortimer merely claims to be one. Maybe I'm just annoyed by his outright lies. Mortimer wasn't at Kraken Hall and didn't get his burns saving ironborn from the flames. Also he's done nothing to prove he is Balor's bastard child. Plus he's using a lot of flowery language of diplomacy and attacking Braavos. Quite rightly he's been accused of being Callen's puppet lord.

If we want to be complete bastards we could have a split vote with half going for one and half for the other but that would effectively be an ironborn civil war so it's a bit of a shitty thing to do even if I feel, currently, it'd be justified.

Seth has the backing of most of the PCs it would seem. The NPCs of Erik, Barret, Lillith and Aranya seem to be leaning his way with Rhodri's, Horas & Tallahar openly opposed (if not supporting Harral exactly).

I know they want to have this ended one way or another but I just really don't see either case being won yet. Oh, and good job I wasn't there or I'd have had Drumm gut Goodbrother for his words

All in all, I'm regretting killing Balor off. What a mess I've created

Looks like Aranya's flip-flopping thanks to my PMs. Oops.

As I say, the lordsmoot is for you to decide. Sorry for butting in.
If Harral loses (and survives, personally I'd kill him were I Seth but then Balor was a complete bastard) then perhaps he could take Bear Island as "his" region and refuse to follow Seth's orders. That could be interesting. Especially if some lords still support him. Hmm, sounds very civil-warlike again. I'm hoping that someone's going to make a more serious play. No-one's really dominated the moot like I was hoping.
