Glad to see you step up to the plate OK
Not to be too picky, but many times the last trait is cut off too much so that it's hard to make out the exact trait.
Also I wonder if anyone's gonna pick the 1 loyalty guy! :beam:
I see 2 that I want, but all bets are on that they will get taken :shame:
Alexandre le Sueur - Decent, nice name, and awesome portrait
Raynaud de Xaintrailles - High Command, has the "Smart" trait, decent portrait

I wanted to avoid taking two captures and then slog through combining them when it was only one trait being partially obscured. Apologies. If someone has a specific question about the obscured trait on a character I'll be happy to take a look at the save.
As for the adoptee, it's up to Ramses as Louis to accept or decline the offer.
https://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb88/douglaslain/adopt.jpg
Considering a player hasn't been assigned to him and we have about 50 RGBs to choose from, I'd suggest declining so as to leave a child slot open.
ahhhh, looks Like I will have to miss it then. :shame:
As for Cultured Drizzt Fan, perhaps you could rank your peferences for the available characters, send it to Zim in a PM, and when your name comes up we'll give you the highest ranked available character?
Ramses II CP
07-16-2009, 17:13
If someone particularly wants the character up for adoption I will accept (Partly because he looks like Vissa from LotR), but there is little to distinguish him from the rest of the chivalry pack so if no one wants him, as seems likely, I'll decline.
:egypt:

I actually managed to decipher those that I was interested in. Amazing how much you can deduct from just glimpsing the upper fifth of the text. My initial confusion came from some of the avatars having initial dread ratings and I tried to figure out from which trait the dread had come. :wall:
Also I wonder if anyone's gonna pick the 1 loyalty guy! :beam:
The loyalty bit is a shame on a few of the avatars. Some of them have other traits I like a lot, but I really have no desire to deal with the possibility of a character going rebel after I've put a lot of working into creating them.
I dare Econ to take one of the "sexually liberated" avatars...
And Eudes d_Argouges is indeed an error, correct? Otherwise his last name would be a nightmare to pronounce - dunderscoreargouges :laugh4:
There are several with the underscore error.
I'm pretty sure those are supposed to be apostrophes, so we can just treat them as such.
_Tristan_
07-16-2009, 18:02
The game wouldn't let me make names with apostrophes.. hence the underscore...
Does "d'XXXX" have a different meaning than "de XXXX"?
_Tristan_
07-16-2009, 18:08
No, you could compare it in English with a/an... Depends if there is a vowel/consonant following the "de"
_Tristan_
07-16-2009, 18:12
Alexandre le Sueur - Decent, nice name, and awesome portrait
Nice name ? I'm not so sure... It would translate roughly as Alexandre the Sweaty :laugh4:
I wonder if it would speed up the character selection process if the top 5 players on the list just ranked 5 avatars in their order of preference? That way, if they are not online when it is their turn to pick, they can be given the available avatar highest on their list and we can move on to the next 5 etc.
Also, it might be an idea to have an "alert" system like we used for successor games - when one player picked up a save, we'd PM the next inline to alert them - telling them that if we did not get a response after a decent interval, we would move on to the next one. That way the game was not held up waiting for the next in-line. I'd suggest PMing players 1-10 in the list to alert them and tell them if they don't reply or post that they are ready and waiting for their turn, they may be skipped when the time comes if they remain unresponsive.
I'm just thinking some players above Vladimir have not posted on this sub-forum for a while.
PMing everyone in advance is a good idea.
I will post my top 5 list after I get home. I'd like to look at the save before I make my selection, because the traits of the Kings, Dukes, etc. could theoretically impact my decision.

:laugh4: Ten huh? I'm sure you'll get one of them.
GeneralHankerchief
07-16-2009, 19:12
Does this remind anyone of a sports draft? Everybody has their big board with the "sure catch" candidates, reaches, and dream choices. We'll be able to evaluate how everybody did in six months or so, and there's more pressure on the higher choices to perform well (because the guys farther down along the line would have loved to snap them up).
Raynaud, I picked you second. Don't fail me... :laugh4:
If anyone wants to send their character selection, send them to me. :bow: I'll PM the next 5 people after Ignoramus (GH having sent a PM).

07-16-2009, 19:32
The major stats to watch maybe the age of avatars with the age mod in effect... There is a risk that those in their thirties might not be long for the game...(though not like it was it the beginning...)
That's the criterion I would consider first...(but I'm stuck with a fortyish king :wall:)
In LotR, Methodios was one of the older starting avatars and those few years I missed at the end when the rebellion was raging...
Cecil XIX
07-16-2009, 19:54
The age mod may make the ages less important. Those 18-year olds could die off before the 31-year olds!
Nice name ? I'm not so sure... It would translate roughly as Alexandre the Sweaty :laugh4:
Roughly? Elaborate upon the finer details please :yes:

I don't think he can elaborate much more than that, its the literal translation.

Yes, but what is it's meaning? "The Sweaty" - as in being to fat, to greasy, working hard, being a fighter? From laziness or exertion?

I'm pretty sure it would be derogatory as in, "is always sweating", but there is no special connotation in french that I know of. I'd guess its up to the person playing that character to say why he has that name.

oh I considered the age mod. None of my picks are below 30. Firstly, it makes it more exciting and secondly I can bitch about young people these days. :clown:
Standard procedure a was to reload in those cases, wasn't it? Or was that just because of some of SS's odd loyalty issues?
I reloaded to prevent Ammonathas from rebelling once as Megas in LOTR...I just assumed I was supposed to.

Well, it wasn't allowed by the rules, but frankly that's the way I hoped people would handle it. I agree that's the best solution, especially when the rebellion makes no sense according to the plotline the player has developed. We have mechanisms for rebellion in our rule system, and it's more fun to use those than to have the avatar simply go gray.
Couldn't we use the console for making sure no character rebels due to the loyalty stat? I don't think it would be unfair to eliminate negative traits affecting loyalty this way.

Please don't eliminate those traits. They do add +Chiv or +Dread as of the second level, stats which both help in combat and add to the roleplay.
Anyways, it's my 2 cents.

The LotR draft took about 6 days.
There is no formal time limit on selection, but I'm sure the GM can decide if needed.
Ignoramus
07-17-2009, 03:39
I'll take Gaspard de Neufville, thanks!
Last I heard Itulrade wanted Simon de Montpierre and Northnovas wanted Robert Bouchart.
They still have time to change their choice until they come and confirm this. Until then those two characters are reserved. Next up is TinCow.
Ituralde
07-17-2009, 08:46
Noooooo.... Ignoramus.. you better make the best of that character. I had already found a coat of arms and everything.
Well, I guess I shouldn't complain with me being fourth to pick and all. Now you get Simon de Montpierre and I don't know if y'all like him as much. Just saying, I am!
Is there a way to look at the character one has selected? Not that I've completely forgotten my traits, but I guess those people that added five people to their list could have a hard time remembering all of them.
OverKnight
07-17-2009, 09:12
To clarify, you wanted the character Igno picked: Gaspard de Neufville?
And you have grudgingly taken Simon de Montpierre? If so, his picture and stats are still under the reserved characters spoiler.
Also perhaps The Flax could repost the taken characters in a "Selected Characters" spoiler.
Ituralde
07-17-2009, 09:22
Nah, I'm alright with Simon de Montpierre! And I guess the Selected Character spoiler is what I was asking for, while missing the Reserved Character spoiler. :yes:
I apologize.
Ignoramus
07-17-2009, 10:00
Really sorry Ituradle. I had no idea. What was your idea for his coat of arms?
Ituralde
07-17-2009, 10:37
The same one you picked. It was the quick results for my google search that sold me on him. But don't worry. Simon is also really good from the stats and traits and I'm already happy with him.
Hope the others choose quick now. I'm pumped to see this starting! :2thumbsup:
TC is ahead of me, but my preference is for Hermant Mauvoisin. I'll take Laudry le Roy if TC picks Hermant.
_Tristan_
07-17-2009, 10:52
Econ wants a handsome lad
I need more info before I can choose (can't load up the saved game without the KotF mod, it crashes). I need to know what trait is causing Christophe de Perronne's dread, as it appears to be completely cut off. You can continue beyond me though, as if I do not select Christophe, I will be selecting Ganelon de Chaumont.
_Tristan_
07-17-2009, 12:15
He's Cruel and cunning (+2 dread)... Cut out just for you, Mr. Illuminati
Thanks, I just found Rowan's post with the mod as well and saw it for myself. I will indeed take Christophe de Perronne.
That leaves Econ21 with Hermant Mauvoisin.

So, what's your backup choice? I wonder if you could post it here (or send it to theFlax if you want it kept under wraps) - and ideally have a backup backup in case Marcus Agrippa also gazumps you?
After you, there are only 4 more players in the queue: if they each post a list of their 6 preferred avatars in order (or send it to theFlax), character selection will be complete.

The Council is set to start Monday morning (sometime after 12 AM PST). The next two days, among other things, will be used to resolve and remaining rules issues.
With this timetable, I think we should accelerate the character selection process. Players need to have their avatars by the time the Council starts and it is unfair on people like Vladimir if they are left in limbo because of one or two no-shows.
I suggest that if Marcus Agrippa has not chosen an avatar within 24 hours of this post:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=2291138&postcount=77
we should skip to Cultured Drizzt Fan.
More generally, I would recommend all other people still waiting for an avatar to PM TheFlax with a ranked list of their 5 preferred avatars within 24 hours. When that time is up, theFlax can then allocate the remaining avatars - anyone not expressing a preference going to the back of the queue.
If we do that or something similar, we can be sure that everyone who has showed up will have an avatar before the Council starts on Monday.

It's worth noting that Marcus Agrippa, according to the poll, does not have his game properly set up yet either.

Alright then, I am probably not going to be able to get online again so I will write my Backstory while I am camping (I will be assuming I get Yvon). :bow: see you all in a week.
MA hasn't been online since before it was his turn... I'd say move on to Drizzt, who will now have Yvon Lacaze as requested.
I will send MA a pm. He can come in anytime to take a character. In the meantime, everyone is up.

I think I'll have Pierre de Saint-Germain please.
Thank you for keeping this moving. I'm sorry I am away most of the weekend, being a total geek. (attending a LAN party and GM two roleplaying campaigns)

Well have fun. Hopefully you'll have time to update the original post to reflect which generals remain? :grin:

My Apologies gents I thought it might be a while before the game started as so many threads were for what's the next game.
If I'm allowed to choose right now I'd go for Alexandre Le Sueur.
Sorry again for not being around recently.
If you want me to take another position in the line I'll wait.

Nope, you should be fine.
By my count that leaves:
Dafug3
Vladimir
Beskar
Edit: I'll send Dafug3 a PM

Its been over 24 hours since the last selection. I think we should skip Dafug3 and let Vladimir pick his avatar.

I sent a PM to TheFlax asking what characters remain.

You can just look at the unassigned characters in the first post - it's up to date.

Thanks. The "edit time" is misleading.
Edit: Okay. I'll go for Seigneur Confident (aka Gontran de Linars)
Edit 2: I'm going to call him Gontran de Loins
Beskar will be taking Loup de Gisors, so only Dafug3 is left.

2 Chivalry, huh? Don't know how that will sit with your friends in Aquitaine. I don't think showing mercy towards your enemies is near the top of their to-do list. :laugh4:

Chivalry is sadly very easy to lose, but if he wants to keep it, Vladimir's character is very welcome to join the Order of the Fleurs de Lys - as is any other like minded player.

My chivalry has contributed to the loss of many fleurs along the Lys!

Pshaw, let's not take those chiv/dread points too literally. We're all playing killers, just some of us are more rule abiding killers than others. I take Louis' most dread-tastic trait to mainly manifest as an utter indifference to the lot of the peasant, a quality I dare say he would have in common with virtually all the nobility of the period.
Aquitaine is not the exclusive realm of the dreadly types. All are welcome to come enjoy the wine, wenching, and wrenching away of our enemies' lives and wealth. :2thumbsup:

Ramses is just trying to sell you his Duchy Vladimir.
Ignore him and come and join the chivalry and merriment of Brittany. :balloon2:
Yes, join Brittiany :beam:

I actually don't consider the ranks in chivalry or dread to have any impact on my RPing. The building blocks I started constructing Christophe on were his two less-common traits: Cruel and Cunning and Plain. The descriptions of the traits themselves are far more useful in creating a character than counting the number of skulls or helms. There are plenty of traits that give dread due to battlefield actions which would very plausibly be done by 'chivalrous' avatars as well. I think the game will be far more interesting if the characters are judging each other by their actions rather than by simply counting the chiv/dread ranks and notching a person up as good/evil. That's not how the world works.

Good points TC.
If anyone does that with me, they will have a hell of a time keeping up...because in my view they are only a guide.
