Five crowns for the Ceylon expedition
Two crowns for Ceylon (red)
@TomNowell are you going to fund an expedition? It is not blessed.
Both Blue and Yellow players will only invest 1 coin.
I will be optimistic and put 2 crowns in.
Alrighty! And here is the result of the Blessed China expedition…
@Delwayne asked for a die roll:
we shall move on and draw the next card…
d13: 13
Green card #2 is
@Delwayne asked for a die roll:
and moving forward… to the next card…
d12: 5
Blue card #1…
He will gain a faith and determine where to place his card as well as possibly activating something.
He already PM’d he wanted coins and so it will go into Taxation. We will activate it and everyone will finally collect!
@Delwayne asked for a die roll:
well I guess it isn’t a whole lot! But I guess it is something rather than nothing. 
Blue (5), Purple (2), Yellow (5), Black (5), Green (3), Red (0).
moving on to the next card…
d13: 7
Black card #2
@Delwayne asked for a die roll:
moving on…
d10: 4
Red card #2
And after we activate his card, most likely it will trigger Assemby…
@RogerBW intends to pick up merc cards from this stronghold, attach them to his Square Noble and march them to join Trangle noble in attacking the city. I just needed to know if he wanted both merc cards or just one of them.
While we get that answer; I wanted everyone to know we will trigger Assembly Phase.
The Chairman gets to choose what card will be first on the agenda (only the first card). Even though everyone gets the same number of votes for every card; why this “order” of determination is important to the Chairman is that he can try to manipulate the Head of Church to use up his one “veto” power during this Assembly. If he can deter the HoC from "screwing up his “primary objective”, then he will have (hopefully) accomplished something that may benefit him “the Chairman” or his “faction”.
So… @TomNowell can perhaps start a discussion on everyone’s “intentions” for this Assembly or reveal what he really wants (or don’t want) and then he will need to tell us all what will be first on the Agenda.
Also, everyone does have the ability to “abstain”. That means neither a “yea” or “nay”. And to clarify “voting ties” must have to have at least a “yea” or “nay”. If everyone “abstains” then that agenda card is discarded; it is not a “tie” that gives the Chairman to decide; it is discarded.
But first, before Assembly, we must resolve this battle at Bingen once @RogerBW tells us what Mercenary cards is joining the battle.
Okay, all Merc cards given to Square Noble and He will be in charge of the battle.
