Horse of a different color

((Posting this here, because I don't think there's enough to go into another thread.

Mons Electi places third, overall in the Tournament, behind Confluensis and Le Maison.
Confluensis earns the Siege of Valor. Le Maison earns the Siege of Normandy.
Marcus, on his own, due to winning the Dimicatio earns the Siege of Notatus.
The Siege of Shame falls to Novus Mane.
The Siege of Alms goes to a Theban Coenobium. They take 1 prize pawn, which the use to recover the cost of entry, the rest they gift to the covenants of Normandy who did not earn pawns, 6 of the remaning 11 pawns are given to Novus Mane, in effect, shaming the Tribunal. The rest are given to the two Normandy covenants who placed below them. Lapis Crudus and Florum, who didn't attend.

Mons Electi has 18 prize pawns. Prize pawns can be traded for a vis source 1 prize pawn =vis source # of pawns, to be harvested for the 7 years beginning Summer of 1228. Prize pawns can also be redeemed for books 1 pawn =# of build points. And also can be redeemed for vis 1 pawn=5 pawns of vis.

FYI Confluensis takes back the Intellego source from Marcus.

Great job team!
That's one prize pawn = 5 Build Points of books, right?
Tranquillina would certainly be interested in a new Corpus tractatus, if one is available. Otherwise she's happy to let others use the pawns as they wish (she doubts they'll want to trade them for vis, given their surplus).

Korvin would still like the Creo source but I am free for better ideas.

last time we took 1 vis source producing 4 pawns of Creo and another with 5 pawns of Corpus per year. the rest was in books and Alexei taking a chunk of Intelligo. We are low in An and Ig. Vim is very low at only 10 per year. We can trade for it but if anyone has plans they should speak up.

2 pawns = 10 Quality tractatus on Corpus
5 pawns = 5 pawn Tropaea of intelligo ?? or perdo or Creo

It might not happen anytime soon, but the next thing Tranquillina will use vis for is probably to re-up her talisman's capacity. So some Vim vis would be useful.

2 pawns = 10 Quality tractatus on Corpus
5 pawns = 5 pawn Tropaea of Vim
2 pawns = 10 quality tractatus on Vim << I think we are weak here. open to suggestions.
5 pawns = 5 pawn Tropaea of Animal << Might want to have some on stock. Not firm on this

(( Looking at the vis sheet, you guys are definitely low on Animal. Given that you're low on silver, and your money source is sheep, Animal might be nice to have on hand for improvements in that area. ))

My thoughts exactly. I'm trying to avoid making Korvin into a vis monkey. He could spend a year doing LR for redcaps and fill the storage areas with vis (slight exaggeration ) :stuck_out_tongue:

Went ahead and withdrew the 27 pawns of vis that Fiona paid for Alips's Longevity Ritual in Summer of 1225 (9 Rego and 18 Corpus), and lowered Fiona's back pay accordingly.

Also, don't forget that we have a thread dedicated to discussion of claiming our Tribunal prizes.

Moving discussion there :blush:
