Sorry, just finished writing the official opening of the assembly, as is usual:

Emergency Session of the Majlis al-Shura

1. The Constitution of Al Andalus

A constitution will cause us to change government in MotE, and that’s pretty much it, but it’ll have a much greater effect in Victoria 2, including moulding the ruling party issues and our starting policies. The decision to outlaw slavery also never cropped up in EU4, so I’m just gonna tie that up in this parcel, and carry the decision to vic2. Lastly, this won’t really affect the extent of goon interaction in victoria, so pay no heed to that.

Option A - Yes (will have the effects described above)

Option B - No (will have unforeseen effects, not gonna say more here)


2. Alliance with the Almoravids

This one is pretty self-explanatory. The decision that Tirruni made in the Navarre Conference gave the Moroccans the option to reach out to us for alliance, so it’s down to the Majlis to decide whether the risk is worth taking, and we should betray Tirruni for the chance to seize the rest of Iberia.

Option A - No (we stay true to Tirruni, and begin direct war with Morocco)

Option B - Yes (we accept the Moroccan offer, and turn against Tirruni)

Option C - Yes, but on our terms (we accept the Moroccan offer, but only if they agree to return Qartayannat to us - this option means that the Moroccans might refuse us, and there’s a chance that Tirruni hears of our negotiations with the enemy)

Al-Andalus belongs to the Majlis, not some delusional dictator or his peasant cronies! The Jizrunids were overthrown for their madness and misrule, and what echoes that more than binding us to the whims of the mob?

And as for Tirruni, we'll play his game for now. Morocco cannot hope to stand against him, or us.

So:

What's the difference between saying yes and saying yes but only after asking for an empty promise? Also is this an actual vote?

If we ally with Morocco, they'll give us Cartagena immediately, and this will be the only opportunity to ask for it in MotE because it would be downright stupid to help them beat Tirruni then turn on them. There's a 60/40 chance that they hand it over to us, if that's what you're interested in, but if they say no then there's a small chance that Tirruni discovers what happened.

If you don't wanna run the risk of pissing off both Tirruni and the Almoravids, then that's why a simple yes is there.

Iberia is rightfully Andalusian land, that Tirruni has stolen from us. We should perhaps not join the Moroccans, however. The Italians and French would be much better allies.

Italians are puppets of Tirruni, and the French aren't involved in the revolutionary wars yet, they're still knee-deep in some squabble over the Rhineland.

We're going to have to turn on the empire at some point, but this isn't it. Let's keep the current course and get our share of spoils from the defeat of Morocco. After that, we bide our time until our betrayal will be enough to seal Tirunni's fate.

On the one hand, that flag might as well have the words "You're Next" written on it. On the other hand, Morocco should have come up with a better offer than vague promises in exchange for being their meatshield.

I shall vote in the true spirit of the Majlis.

No Constitution, Betray Tirruni. Since when have we let trifling matters such as good sense get in the way of more important things, such as a suicidal overabundance of pride? If there were an option to betray both I would take it.
