So... How about Ynnraile?

[Leo Fenrir]

On a scale from 1 to 10 where are the chances of Elwynn annexing Ynnraile?

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

On a scale from 1 to 10 where are the chances of Elwynn evicting me once they get Ynnraile?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

We'll keep you on if you let us in?

And please don't mind the chaps who suddenly showed up complete with scimitars and cudgels and who appear for all the world to be ransacking those houses over there. I assure you they are just tourists hunting for souvenirs and those elusive holiday bargains...

[Leo Fenrir]

hunting for souvenirs and those elusive holiday bargains...

Such as a Barony maybe? It would make a nice souvenir indeed.

[Syr William]

On a scale from 1-10? I'd say a solid -1000.

But even if Elwynn did get Ynnraile, Corey would still have Asantelian.

[Bacchus]

It's over nine thousAAAAND!

[Leo Fenrir]

You sure? I mean there could be large amounts of erb in it for you. And a shipment of Nordland's finest sheep!

[Andreas the Wise]

Leo, where do you have 10 000 ?

[Leo Fenrir]

If a Duchy is worth 10 000 a barony must be worth less...

[Andreas the Wise]

Where do you have 5000 , then?

[Leo Fenrir]

I'll find some.... Somehow...

[Aurangzeb Khan]

pst... Government Procurement Contracts....

[Jonas]

I'll find some.... Somehow...

I'm prepared to lent you 2,500 erb with just 2% intrest. If you can't pay it back within 6 months, I confiscate your county.

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

If there is an offer from the Duke of Brookshire for Elwynn to buy Ynnraile, I will be willing to donate some money for the purchase.

[Leo Fenrir]

A very kind request Jonas and one that I will definitely consider if his Grace William is so inclined to sell.

[Erik Mortis]

I'm not duke. So your'll have to wait for the real one. I'm just filling in, but I'm honestly not to keen on the idea of selling off counties. (or is this a whole Barony.. I forget). In which case I would really not support it.

[Syr William]

I'm of the same opinion, Erik.

Also, I'm not back, but I should be sometime tomorrow evening. Loving it here in Florida, and still havn't gotten sunburnt!

P.S. I may consider the idea though, after some negotiation with Nathan.....

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

P.S. I may consider the idea though, after some negotiation with Nathan.....

In the bedroom?

[Erik Mortis]

I'll rebel.

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

You have time to rebel, but you don't have time to develop your county and barony?

[Syr William]

Me is back!

Let the negotiations begin.

What is Elwynn willing to give Brookshire in exchange for Ynnraile?

Also, you need not rebel Erik. You are welcome to help me negotiate. If negotations go bad then Ynnraile will remain as is.

[Erik Mortis]

That's what I want outright. I don't believe it is in our interest as a Duchy to relinquish control of lands to another duchy.

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

Everything is alright unless it's Brookshire?

[Erik Mortis]

yes?

[Leo Fenrir]

What is Elwynn willing to give Brookshire in exchange for Ynnraile?

a hug
and our everlasting gratitude

I have a sneaking suspicion that you may value the land slightly more then that so myabe it would be more prudent for you to state what you think Ynnraile is worth.

[Syr William]

OK, negotations are over because the last thing I need is Erik rebelling.

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

Pbth! You are granting him too much leverage! You are Duke! He is merely a Baron. Yes, you should try to keep your vassals as happy as possible, but the decision is entirely yours.

My suggestion is to work out a trade loan or some sort. You let them have control of Ynnraile for a bit (say, 180ASC) and you get something in return, as was done with Musica.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

As far as Elwynn is concerned my sentiments echo those of Erik - no concessions.

[Jonas]

That good old veto.

[Erik Mortis]

Both sides want something and won't be willing to give anything in return.... so... that kinda ends it right there.
