When can we expect the save to be released ? Did you get Zim to give a ruling about the problem ?Quote:

Apologies, I put the latest info in the "Seneschal's and Nobles' Reports"
We are back on.
Vladimir.
We use the Council thread to discuss issues like the reports and the goings on in the realm.
While some of us are far away, given the time elapse it is assumed we can all get back to discuss things there.
My post was made after viewing other IC announcements in the thread. Since it was a quick post directly relevant to the thread I decided to proceed.
ok cool.Quote:

No later than tomorrow noon, anyway.
I was just going to ask if I could whip onto the next season tonight.
That means it will be delayed to Tuesday. Then I have a dinner on Wednesday and then head to Berlin with the girlfriend from Thursday evening until Sunday afternoon. So there will be a delay until Sunday night.
Is there a chance tonight?
I'll try and see if I can manage.
Keep you posted.
Nice story about the infiltration. Tell me, did Atrois have a daughter named Stella?
Sure did... And she quenched the thirst of quite a few men...
By the way, can I shed the Pagan Magician retinue any time I want? I remember we could in the last game, but I keep forgetting to ask about this one. I'd be happy to write a little story about his departure.
:egypt:
That should allow for such a removal... And what wouldn't we do for a good story ?Quote:
Rule 3(c). - Retinue: At any time, a Noble may give any retinue item/member they possess to another Noble or remove it from their avatar without giving it to anyone else. If a retinue item/member cannot be transferred or removed due to game coding or distance between avatars, console commands may be used to allow the transfer or removal.
Remove away. The rule is there for that reason, mostly.
Will do the next time I have the save. :yes:
:egypt:
Um, can the guy who sent me a PM about a sexual tryst send it again? I hastily deleted it. For some reason my brain doesn't associate sex with names other than "ooo baby."
Thanks.
Vlad clear some space in your PM box, it seems to have filled up very abruptly...

Finally. Installed and ready to go!
May I also request that Gaspard's Pagan Magician, "disappear"? Normally, I dislike doing that to my characters, but Pagan Magicians are flawed.
I'm planning to wait until the turn goes 'round so I can do the siege at Zaragosa at the same time, but at that time I'll be happy to zap your Pagan too Igno. They are flawed, the game throws them waaaay too often and they really have virtually no in game significance or RP potential.
:egypt:
Do they spawn too often? Particularly at the beginning of the game when the player has not had the oppurtunity to address heresy, yes.Quote:

Of course he might be the exception that proves the rule.
I hate to say it but early on in the game Toulouse is a hotbed of heresy. It makes sense.
NOT WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH IT IT WON'T BE. :viking: :smg:Quote:

Is it me? Is Hugues the Manchurian Candidate? :sweatdrop:
Though, if I was a suspicious person, the code name would seem to indicate a man associated with Elephants in past games. Who could that be?
Me!!!???
Good god I'm a spy!! Are me Arnold's being used against me in some obscure reference to elephants?
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I believe I have managed to leave at least one false hint leading to each and every character in the game, short of the King.
So guess your heart out. :laugh4:
:egypt:
False hint, huh? So then Louis is either misinformed about his double agent or he's lying to himself in his own head...

Bah, too bad it's best not to discuss it for RP reasons. It's the characters who need to do the thinking, not the players!

Same here but with no player waiting on an avatar, it would have been a nuisance...
There are other ways to dispose of the princess...

Interesting. I find my thoughts focused on this game but I see that others are active in many places on the org. Maybe that's why it feels so slow to me.
It is only turn four. Can't expect to much to happen by now. :shrug:, Many people don't have a reason to take the save, and there is not that much to talk about in the council.
Things will heat up when something unexpected happens :yes:
Speaking from experience, you need to allow some time for plots to formulate and to come to fruition. This is a delicate process, but once it's done I guarantee you things will appear to move very fast indeed. :yes:
Oh no doubt. Especially when the Elephant Man is revealed. :laugh4:
It will cause quite a stir.
Yeah, I'm doin' my part to stir up trouble. :yes:
:egypt:
I admit that I am currently distracted by RL business combined with a game I'm currently playing in the Gameroom. I'm also avoiding starting anything serious IC at the moment because I am going to be on vacation from Sept 3rd through the 18th. During that time I expect to be online very, very rarely and won't have the time to write anything significant or access the save. My activity and involvement level will increase after I get back.
A couple of admin points.
* Unfortunately I'm off to Berlin with my girlfriend tonight until Sunday. I didn't get to the save last night as we had a work dinner and it ended late. I was paying :beam:
There will be a delay until Sunday night so apologies in advance.
* I'm going to refrain from retraining BGs from now on.
We didn't in did in previous games as they are powerful and second because they replenish over time.
And lastly, because they retraining cost is so low.
Cheers
AG
Sure you don't want to get the plague again AG? :laugh4: The Imperial Secretariat is ready to run the show.
:birthday2: :balloon2: :balloon: :balloon2: Happy Birthday, deguerra !!! :balloon: :balloon2: :balloon: :birthday2:
:belly::belly:
:cheerleader::cheerleader:
:elephant: :elephant:
What Tristan just said! :2thumbsup:
Happy Birthday deguerra!!:balloon2:
Deg, don't get arrested and have a great birthday.
OK, I'd prefer to just wait until Sunday. :beam:
I'm content to wait, it'll give me time to wrap up the wedding coop I've been working on with the guys. (Promise I'm working on it!)
:egypt:
I'm about to sign off in 40 minutes.
I know of at least two stories that need to be posted around this time chronologically. That should give you all something to chew on.
I'm back from Scotland. It rained a lot, who expected that. And it was awesome!!!
Saw some nice medieval castles it really got me in the mood to play on.
Unfortunately I will still be limited for the next week though. I'm going to my girlfriend's mum who decided to dith her old telephone provider before making sure the new one was in place. So no internet there for me. I'll catch up on the reading though. See you in a week or so!
Ok back.
Will have the next report and save up in a few hours.
Well I am back from the Maritimes and it didn't rain one day in 2 weeks. It was awesome! I finally had the summer weather I have been waiting for since June. I left just as Bill was showing up. It's great to have sunny days in the summer and not the overcast of November skies in July! :no:
Will do some reading to catch up and start to participate! :2thumbsup:
Good to see you back NN!!
Ramses, mate, you're holding up prize winning stories by taking 5 days to respond!!:egypt:
Can you step on the gas? We have stories to publish that are waiting on you fella. :beam:
-EDIT-
Of course all that is mute now that you have responded Ramses ;-)
The way it looks right now I at least have one week of sunny hot weather in front of me. That should make up for the expected rain! :2thumbsup:Quote:

Yeesh... 31. That whole 'better have kids before you're 35' deadline is approaching a lot faster than I'd prefer.
:eeeek:
Happy Birtday! :balloon2: :bow:
Happy birthday, and remember, try to be as irreverant as this unicorn today. Good luck! :medievalcheers:
Happy Birthday! You know it's really about the *wife* not being 35 yet, yes? Male, err, reproductive quality carries on reasonably well even into the late 40s. My wife just turned 35 and I'm really hoping we get to pop out another one this year.
I replied! I caught myself up in trying to write too much, and had to cut it! I'm back in the saddle though (And I'm going to take the save when I get a few minutes today). My daughter starting Kindergarten has thrown everything out of whack with my schedule. :laugh4:
:egypt:
My wife is 13 days older than me, so no help there.Quote:

It's all good hear...at least that is what they tell me. :dizzy2:
And chaps...I'm going to take the save tonight, so any movement needs to get done soonish.
How do you people manage to make me feel too young, in everyway?
Anyway, happy birthday TC! :balloon2:
The risk of birth defects, statistically, rises more sharply after 35. Women have an automatic amnio-centesis (Spelling?) when they become pregnant past 35, a procedure which carries it's own very slight risks, to test for them. Of course modern medicine being what it is the risk is still quite miniscule, but until you have kids of your own you won't understand the meaninglessness of 'small' risks and playing the odds.
We're friends with a family whose youngest has spina bifida. He's a wonderful child and I mean no disrespect to him when I say that I would do almost anything to reduce my own child's risk factors for his defect.
:egypt:
Argh! I wish I'd had time this morning. Pool trip this afternoon. I want to resolve Valencia, maybe I'll have time when the save returns. If not I suppose it can wait another season... as long as the bloody English stay patient.Quote:

Otherwise I'll take the save back for the Seneschal work in a few hours.
Fifteen minutes before I leave, don't think I want to try to fight it that fast. I'll pick it back up in about 2.5 hours if it's still open, otherwise don't sweat it.
:egypt:
Ok I'd like to go to bed in about 40 minutes. I'm not sure if you will both be fast enough.
Let's see how fast I can get Valencia. I have time now. :yes:
:egypt:
Can I get an OOC explanation of this unexpected turn of events?
The King attacked the Germans to expel them from French territory, which is perhaps unexpected but well within his legal powers. Of course the Council is likely to raise all kinds of **** about it.
:egypt:
Yea. The IC announcement was short on details. I guess the benefit of being king is that you don't have to explain yourself. ~;p
Yearrgh, this could get interesting. Got to find a bridge or mountain to fight from, just like back in the day.
Happy Birthday TinCow!
I'm back from my own birthday weekend. Got to take a trip, spend time with family, and learn the fear that comes from riding through rapids in what is essentially an inflatable canoe. Good times.
