I was going to wait to see if the tournament idea was approved first, but as I think this could alter that decision, I'm going to go ahead and post it.

I want to have sent my former mentor and current advisor Hank McCoy to houses Grey, Rogers, Odinson, and Stark to personally invite their leaders, and inform them that I wished to negotiate a treaty with them, trade, peace, or military alliance, whichever woul entice them the most.  The tournament will also be a cover for our meetings

Unknown to them, I hope to form a group to conquer other nations and guarantee victory.  Parker and udaku (?) can join if they find out about it, but I won't have approached them in the same way.
