[X] Plan: Devouring the Sky
[X] Plan: Graven Commissioner and Commander

Changing my vote to drop prisoner chomping. We can't afford to run into problems with whatever prisoner we get when we have, in the worst-case scenario, 3 turns to be ready and 3 Names to befriend. If we fail to make progress on one and potentially insult Mareinette in the process, we're going to have to make BIG concessions, and I don't want to take that risk.
 
Those of you voting for Plan: Prisoner Chomping with dirty hoofs and those voting for Plan: Let's Not Kidnap a Prominent Figure From Canterlot, I beseech you all to approval vote each other, for the difference in Plans is so very minor, and may bring them to the forefront of the struggle amongst the Plans. Let not poor formatting stifle us from plunging into Tall Tale like a figure from myth!

How is getting a prisoner we don't like any less of a risk than the assault on Velvet Hill just plain failing?
 
Also if the DoA is the one who does the kidnapping, distance does not matter one whit to her. She is a befriended Name who can slither between points in space in no time at all, like she did with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. This really isn't an impossible task for a motivated Name, and we have a motivated Name.
 
[X] Plan: Cannibalism is Cringe
[X] Plan: Prisoner Chomping
[X] Plan: Prisoner Chomping with dirty hoofs
[X] Plan: Let's Not Kidnap a Prominent Figure From Canterlot

I honestly detest Mareinette and would much rather have nothing at all to do with her and just continue to string her along until we do All In, but I'm changing my vote to approval vote for the plans that at least don't have the long term consequences of assaulting a Noble and throwing everything into chaos.
 
I do find it interesting that some people are willing to take the risk with Hill, but aren't willing to let Velvet get her hooves dirty under two influences that would be ideal. Obviously a chunk of this is just vote consolidation, but devouring the sky has mostly been the leading Hill plan.
 
I think if there was a vote on an expedition alone, it would trump making institutional knowledge.

But the way it's all bundled with voting and people not wanting one to slip because of one's that are just behind it…

Make it tricky.
 
Some of the plans are so similar as to differ only in the specifics of the same action, things are so messy. Seriously, the difference between Plan:
Prisoner Chomping with dirty hoofs and Plan: Let's Not Kidnap a Prominent Figure From Canterlot is this:

Dirty Hoofs
- "Acquire a prisoner, preferably not an innocent civilian"

Let's Not
- "There really is no other way. Ask somepony to get you a live prisoner; specifically, a foal peddler/predator. (You have no place to keep live prisoners)"

Personally I just prefer expanding on Bureau over gambling on there being hidden stash of bits we can loot in the hive
 
Eh screw it, normally I wouldn't do this but these Plans are so alike it almost feels like I'm telling someone they accidentally made a copy, so:
@Nevermort , @Demilich , @Mr. K , may I trouble your trio to consolidate with Plan: Let's Not Kidnap a Prominent Figure From Canterlot ? It is nigh-identical to Plan: Prisoner Chomping with dirty hoofs, the only difference lying with the specificity of the Prisoner to be acquired. I know that some of you have had your misgivings with the specificity of the victim, but surely that is but a negligible difference compared to other plans in the running.

I mean there's stuff there, it's just whether Velvet can grab it. She also won't have any influence as we saw with the Master's hive assault.
There's also potential silver key opportunities. The knock sacrament encourages us to have Velvet take part in expeditions.

I mean we can talk about the narrative impact of Hill, but eh, feels a bit hollow at this point. That's just my opinion though.
Now leading an assault on a changeling hive with max lantern and edge sounds metal as fuck.

Not really a fan of eating Velvet Hill. Velvet Covers doing it right now without the realization that he runs a crime empire just comes across as uncharacteristically vengeful to me.
 
And I guess with that it's over for Let's Not? It would need four more votes now that Shaper voted for Devour, if I'm counting correctly.

So chomping on a random pony wins out by a single vote, a shame since I doubt that double sacrament with Spoiled's help will win out

And I guess with that it's over for Let's Not? It would need four more votes now that Shaper voted for Devour, if I'm counting correctly.

Yep, even if Dirty Hoofs had gotten folded in that play would leave Let's Not behind.

At least we avoid the guaranteed problems stealing Hill would have caused. Still kind of bummed we won't hit Tall Take though.
 
Well that was some drama down to the wire. Definitely a big pivot, what that extra day did. Kind of a weird voting period, eg the Tall Tale thing, but that's how it goes sometimes. Ah well.

I'm glad we're committed to Mareinette, at least.

Now surely Velvet voting will be more straightforward….. right…..

Time to vote for Velvet to go to Tall Tale anyways

You cannot stop me

Unless you are the QM, in which case you can definitely stop me

I will call it Plan: Burning the Midnight Oil, since it will involve Velvet sticking her snout into more workstuff than usual, and because oil fuels Lantern stuff, which we will be doing a lot of this turn.
