Out of character thread XVII

[Zim]

Sorry, I meant "is from", as you've already deduced. Thanks for the info, I'll look at the link right now.

P.S. Alright! With sixteen total stats and six+ in Loyalty, I think Andreas has two influence. I get to vote at the diet.

[Warmaster Horus]

Bienvenue, Tristan! Nice to have you with us.

Ignoramus... Sorry about your loss. T'would have been interesting to see how the rebellion ended if you had won.

[gibsonsg91921]

ooc, if wolfgang won, peter would have come and pwned him

[econ21]

Nice story, Zim and Overknight.

[Zim]

Thanks, Econ21!

Both of us are up late most evenings (I think he works late at night), and we just sorted it all out in one night. I'd write a section, pm it to him, he'd do one, etc. Once I had a name and birthplace for my guy, I just editted and posted.

[Warluster]

I have to agree, I love the Outremer situation, its so cool its movie stuff.

And welcome Tristan!

[AussieGiant]

Weclome Tristan!!

OK and Zim, great writing there. Excellent stuff.

...PK, PK, PK....what have you gotten us into now

[Privateerkev]

Think of it, I'll be yelling on Arnold's behalf instead of against him! ;)

Just kidding. I am probably done with the yelling for awhile. It can be fun but it can also be draining. As for the personality I'll take on, I want to look at the avatar before I figure out an agenda and such. This one will be a clean slate and I am looking forward to it.

You wanted more electors. Be careful what you wish for...

[AussieGiant]

Got your PM PK.

We can chat there.

Do you mean Johann or Jan the youngest Zirn son?

[GeneralHankerchief]

I think Northnovas has called dibs on Johann after Karl bites it.

[Privateerkev]

Karl Zirn is getting up there in years so I figured NN would take Johann. I'll take the daughter's new husband or Jan Zirn (which ever comes first).

[AussieGiant]

GH, PK,

yeah that's what the unofficial gentlemen’s agreement seems to be which I am glad to see is holding.

Karl is on deaths door so that would be a nice move in my opinion.

[Ignoramus]

Given the name of my character, I'm tempted to join Austria.

[OverKnight]

The Greeks took Antioch! Arggghhhh. I was hoping to get one more turn out of the siege while I brought up reinforcements. I certainly understand the ban on night attacks, but it's frustrating to have a shiny toy and be unable to play with it.

Of course, this will make my eventual revenge, err Holy Mission, so much the sweeter.

When we go back to normal rules, there's going to be blood, even before that if I can goad the #!@#$!s into an attack.

@Zim, you're going to be joining Matt's army. We'll see if we can get you knighted.

[Northnovas]

Thanks for everyone's understanding. I am just glad we now have the recruitable general option so any new player does not have to wait for an avatar like in the early stages of the game. Otherwise I would not have called "dibs".

[Zim]

Given the name of my character, I'm tempted to join Austria.

As much as I'd hate to see someone leave Swabia, that would be incredibly cool if you did, and you managed to become Duke eventually.

Overknight, sounds good. I was hoping he'd be able to join your army. I'll tell Tincow right now.

[AussieGiant]

Given the name of my character, I'm tempted to join Austria.

Igno you should get your ass to Austria for sure...that name has to be in the Duchy!!

[Privateerkev]

Join Austria.

It's the cool new thing to do.

*trendsetter*

[econ21]

Given the name of my character, I'm tempted to join Austria.

Go for it. Eue may find something strangely irresistable about your family name. Bear in mind, though, that Elberhard would have a preference for a loyal and chivalrous son in law.

EDIT: I've updated the playlist to reflect recent changes (people's stats are not updated yet though):

[Ignoramus]

Right, Austria it is then! Only a Hapsburg could make me change Houses.

[AussieGiant]

Welcome to the Darkside young apprentices...

make sure you ask Karl Zirn many questions before approaching the Dark Lord of the Duchy.



I can't believe I've gone from a nice little House to bloody 6 of us in the space of a few days.

Econ,

The Austrian House thread response is meant to be a type of "rough" welcome home from Arnold...he's trying.

I really like to be the Kaiser one day...I wonder how I could swing that now...hmmmmm

[OverKnight]

It's interesting how the houses, mostly, have evened out in regards to number of players. It only seems a while back there was 3 each in Bavaria and Austria and Franconia had about six.

Answered in the same spirit.

No offence to Prinzes past and present - this applies as much to Elberhard as anyone - but I think what you need to do is pick the youngest, most unlikely and inappropriate avatar to be Emperor. I got Elberhard killed off a while back to check out the succession and let's just say, if that prophesy is realised, the Reich would be in for very interesting times after Kaiser Peter.

[AussieGiant]

Yes OK, there does seem to be a swing of sorts occurring.

I've gone a little over the top in the Austrian House thread...it's all meant to be in good solid rough love by the Duke, so don't take it the wrong way.

[Privateerkev]

What's funny is now Austria is the largest House with 6 players and the rest have 5 each. It proves that we somehow, slowly, lurch towards equilibrium. ^_^

[AussieGiant]

Thanks econ, good to see you got the concept I was aiming for.

Arnold's quite relieved you turned up and went the direction you did.

Johann Zirn perhaps Econ?

My best bet was marrying one of the princesses...but the Duke's too old now.

Ahh well...Duke's not too bad. Maybe Chancellor will be enough to set the cat amongst the pidgeons

[Ignoramus]

I know who would succeed, and econ's right, it was the last person I would have thought would succeed.

You could always go to Outremer and become King. Tell Dukes to go !@#$ themselves. As long as the Kaiser likes you, it's all good.

So who the hell was it!!!???

I don't think the Kaiser actually likes Arnold...PK...that is the problem.
