Hello Sebastian.
Welcome to the best family in all Westeros

[sabastiangreyjoy]

Hello!

Soon we'll be the most feared too..

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

Heh. I'm already working on it. So far it's just the most hated

[sabastiangreyjoy]

*rubs hands*

Sounds like something great.. Hate is a good start...

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

Yeah, a bit of cross & double-cross is always good.
So whereabouts are you playing from? I'm based in the UK so it's just after 6pm here.

[sabastiangreyjoy]

I'm based in Sweden, so I'm just one hour ahead of you...

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

Ah well that's good (and explains why you chose GRRM's vikings )
Most of those on here tend to be American or Canadian, hence the 3am posts and suchlike ;D

[sabastiangreyjoy]

There's that of course... The books have a reason too..

Yeah, I'm a person who don't need much sleep so...

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

I've just written a scenario & sent it to the Smith (he's the game GM) to see if he'll post it.
I'll send it to you as well - this is how we move our little story along really. All the stuff in the Library starts off as an email to the Smith

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

I'm just nipping away for an hour or so to get myself something to eat

[sabastiangreyjoy]

I am proud to have the name of Greyjoy... ;D

[sabastiangreyjoy]

So what plans do you have for our family?

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

Right now - survival!
The basic story so far is:
In this timeline, Cersei's incest was discovered by Robert & Edric Storm was legitimised as his heir so the Baratheon's carried on the throne (and presumably Dany & Viserys married abroad and had kids)
Fast forward a few hundred years and her descendants invade and Callen's father is deposed and he's exiled. Dorne is granted independence during this period. After 5 years or so Callen returns and re-claims his throne which is roughly where we are now.

At the time of his return, he had the support of the Stormlands, the North and the Reach and was actively opposed by the Riverlands. Dorne & the Westerlands stayed out of it.
Callen enlisted my help to 'distract' the riverlanders which I did in the usual reaving way
Sadly my savagery was rewarded with betrayal and he's now made peace with the riverlanders in return for promising my head on a platter.
Quite why Dorne has gotten involved and seems bent on our destruction as well is something of a mystery to me.

So basically my current plans are to try to sink any fleets they can use against us as, sooner or later, they're going to try and invade the Iron Islands. Next may have to be the Dornish as they're looking quite keen. I'd have prefered not to move against them but it seems I have no option.
After the latest scenario (the Smith decided to double my losses!!) I may need to rest, lick my wounds and build some more ships!!

[sabastiangreyjoy]

Sounds like a good plan for the time being, it would be helpful with some allies, but that looks like a dream not coming true in some time, or forever...

Maybe you can use Sabastian in some way... He's fourteen, can't really do things without his father's consent, can he..*lol* Wait a few years, then.. ;D

[lordbalorgreyjoy]

Well I may send an envoy to Kings Landing to see if I can get better terms than "my head on a platter"
I won't be sending my son & heir there though!! I'll be giving you a ship of your own soon enough though
