V&V OOC/Signup Thread I

[Cecil XIX]

This thread is a place where V&V players can talk about things out-of-character, or that don't belong anywhere else. This is also the place where prospective players should declare that they want to join the game.

I am almost sure I'll join, so I have one question: Is Magnus still free? And if he is, what are his traits?
I'll post my permanent answer as soon as possible.

[Cecil XIX]

Magnus is taken, and at this time there is no space left for playing a character at the very start. However you're welcome to create your own character to participate Diet session, and given the size of the HRE and how we're probably going to lose several generals in the civil war it probably won't be too long before the game gives us another general.

[Lord of Lent]

Deal! I'll join with my made-up character and I'll try to take the next general.
Would you please PM me if another general is playable?

[Cecil XIX]

Of course.

[Ignoramus]

Sorry about my relatively low level of activity lately. I'm in the middle of exams which finish on Friday. So expect a great detail of activity from me after that.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

If You become king in the coming EB game as well I can assure you that at some point this could happen as well.

[Visor]

In case a new character emerges, my timezone is GMT +10.

[phonicsmonkey]

Does anyone know whether, if you leave a guy in siege until the city automatically gives up to you, that's considered an aggressive act in defiance of a Papal order?

[Visor]

From what I can remember, it is considered a breach of the mission, so yes.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I've noted something odd about those missions: Sometimes if you blockade a port by putting a unit on top of the land tile that acts as the port city, it violates the mission but doesn't result in excommunication. Once you fail the mission, you can then perform a more aggressive action which would have ordinarily gotten you excom'ed.

That only works on the "you may be excommunicated" missions. The more serious "You will be" will get you excommunicated.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

The subforums worked fine in the past. The games were the ones that became inactive very fast(except WotB that ran a year).
And it's quite logical that the game threads will be moved here when the games end.

[Zim]

No problems with the subforums that I recall.

What would people think of a new subforum for V&V separate from the archive?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Although I am not playing V&V, I have followed it from the start. It's own forum could attract people to join the game. The same goes for any other big game.
Much easier to introduce/advertise a game like this in it's own fora than in a generic forum like this.

[Zim]

True, and I think especially having multiple rpgs it's best if they all have their own subforums apart from an "archive" one. If Cecil is for it I'll request one for both rpgs.

[Cecil XIX]

I'm quite happy for the games to get their own subforums; I think it will function as an extra bit of advertising.

[Zim]

Ouch, this will be a bad turn for Von Essen. I waited to late to check on something

[Nightbringer]

I have a ooc request to make about the recruiting procedure for the Reichsmarshall. Could it possibly be changed so that I have permission extending over several turns or something like that. I have missed several turns now because I have missed the deadline after waiting for a response about recruitment.
