King of the Romans OOC thread X

[StoneCold]

Another suggestion on the active duty list, maybe you guys should add in your avatar's name on your post so that there is less chance of mistaken identity? This is because some of you guys do not use your avatar's name as your handle.

First come first serve. Post when you take, post a link when you upload.

Ansehelm von Kastilien

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Duke Ansehelm, the Teutonic Crusade faces its first battle. A small Russian force to the north blocks your progress on the Riga road. Crush them, but remember reinforcements will be few, conserve your forces.

Peter von Kastilien

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Polish forces trapped north of the river have foolishly closed on Thorn. Captain Przemsysl has even besieged the Castle. You have been reinforced from Jonas von Mahren's army. Relieve the siege and crush all Polish forces close to Thorn. Take care with your brother Fritz's life.

Gerhard Steffen

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Father, Jens von Kassel has fled to Florence's port in a desperate attempt to take ship. You have your own retainers and two units of City Militia and Athalwolf von Salza will come in as a reinforcement. Kill the traitor and see if you can get Athalwolf knighted.

Good luck.

Going to fight it now, expect it back in an hour or so

Those 219 have been executed obviously

I believe Overknight could probably give some feedback in a few days time about the Active Duty List. Since we only edit the posts it may become tedious to spot differences. So maybe a change of status should still be PMed to the Chancellor?

So maybe a change of status should still be PMed to the Chancellor?

Good idea.

[Stuperman]

My battle is at least 12 hours away guys, and all I have to say is WOOT, WOOT some action.

[AussieGiant]

WOOT WOOT indeed Mr Stuperman...

Kill'em all I say!!

[Privateerkev]

WOOT WOOT indeed Mr Stuperman...

Kill'em all I say!!

*sigh*

The next von-Hamburg family picnic is going to be really awkward...

[Stig]

Aye especially since Helmut has 4 Dread and is Jan's direct opposite

[AussieGiant]

What a picnic that will be!!!

[Privateerkev]

What a picnic that will be!!!

Yeah, I can see it now. Jan walks up to his older brother and asks what is new. Helmut replies, "Oh not much. Ansehelm is just teaching me how to massacre Russian peasants..."

Jan will shake his head and walk over to one of his sisters and ask what is new. "Oh not much. My husband just went and decided to join the Russian Army."

Meanwhile Dad will just stand up and ask, "alright, who wants potato salad!"

[econ21]

Battle report for the death of Khan Oda is now up.

[TevashSzat]

Just got back and have no idea what happened these past few days so I guess Ill will have to stand out of the Ducal Review.

[Privateerkev]

This is a reply to the Diet thread but far more appropriate in this thread.

Duke Arnold, you will find that very few people in Outremer wear the pink suit. Indeed, the only reason we came out is to kill as many people as we can without fear of reproach from the Papacy.

1. That quote can be taken so many different ways...

2. I threw away my pink suit because it doesn't match my pastel helmet.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Oh crap, I forgot to write "here"!!!

[Privateerkev]

I was wondering...

There are many reasons to "come out"...

[Stuperman]

I'm taking the save now, I'll be back in a bit, and CA 10.2 is utterly insane, I hate it.

Save and the BUtcher's bill, the young fellow Gerhard was fightning with is knighted, Battle report will be up in ~72 hours.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Third wave already? Wow, that was quick.

[OverKnight]

There goes the peace dividend, such as it was. . .

[GeneralHankerchief]

I can see it now in the Diet:

Isn't it CONVENIENT that Outremer always seems to have a foe? How, they can never quite back down on funds and allocations because this ever-looming specter of the Mongols is always upon them?

Can't you see it, people? This is just an elaborate plot by King Salier and his little flunkies to continually usurp resources and power from Europe! The Mongols are a manufactured threat, a "bogeyman" if you will. Ever notice how none of the commanders die, despite the fact that these are supposedly the greatest fighters in the world? It's all fake, people. All fake.

[AussieGiant]

GH's comment is pretty astounding. Arnold's gonna love that at some point down the line

Mongols round 3. Anyone for some horse kebab?

[GeneralHankerchief]

GH's comment is pretty astounding. Arnold's gonna love that at some point down the line

That was just Conrad making one of his (extremely rare) jokes.

[AussieGiant]

That was just Conrad making one of his (extremely rare) jokes.

Oh...well... that was so dry I needed a glass of water after I read it!!

And would Arnold really be that biased? I've said very little about Outremer.

Still, could it all be fake? Maybe

I like the reasoning GH. Very good of you.

Can you answer Arnolds question in the Diet?

[AussieGiant]

I'm taking the save now, I'll be back in a bit, and CA 10.2 is utterly insane, I hate it.

I actually like it. But hey, I'm a complex guy. Say yes to this, say no to that. There's never any consitency

[Privateerkev]

Save and the BUtcher's bill, the young fellow Gerhard was fightning with is knighted, Battle report will be up in ~72 hours.

I think thats Athawolf. WL will be happy to know he's a knight.


And yay! The horseys are back!

[Stig]

Maybe we should make sure the Horseys get a region this time. Would be cool to have them around longer.

[Privateerkev]

Well, if they'd just stay in Baghdad, they could have a region. But they always seem to want one of ours. And guess who is in charge of of the easternmost settlement... o_O


"I need guns...lots of guns..."

Sacrifice yourself for the sake of a fun game
