Well, what can you expect from the Order? ~;p
Oh I think it was a team effort... :yes:Quote:

Influence has now been updated. The following avatars increased in Influence:
Makedonios Ksanthopoulos (Privateerkev) from 1 to 2.
Ioannis Komnenos (Ignoramus) from 3 to 5
Pavlos Chrysovergos (Ituralde) from 1 to 2
All others remained the same. No one decreased in influence.
This is awesome. OK and I have been on the same side for so long it's been sickening. That plus the sheer irony of our roles. :laugh4:
Ah yes if only I could find a young, ambitious flunky to help me do the dirty work of removing a troublesome Prelate.
Too bad Al doesn't have another daughter to marry off. :laugh4:
This thread moves right quick, dont it?
Oh! Wait...I really dont have anything relevant to add, it seems. *dances off stage*
Since there's a possiblity I might win the Megas election...
Unexpected, RL will be rather hectic for me the coming week. I can log in to the Org during work, but I can only play the game at home. The thing is, I won't be home much next week, nor next week-end.
A question for the more experienced among us: how long does it take to play one turn as Megas and post the report? More than one hour?
If it's one hour or les, I may be able to do 24 h (and an occasional 48h) turns, but I cannot guarantee anything. If it's longer, I'll probably only manage to do 2, at best 3, turns in the coming week (including the week-end).
If you can all live with the first few turns taking more than 24 hours (probably 48 hours and, in a worst case scenario, 72), I will happily take the role of Megas. It's summer holidays, so maybe a one week slower pace would be ok.
If you however feel this could kill the game, I'll think of an IC reason for Savvas to refuse the office of Megas (he still has the severely injured trait, so I can dump him in Arta and have him retire temporarily from politics).
I would really like to play as Megas, but I don't want my selfish desires kill the game. If you don't want the game to move slowly in the coming week, don't hesitate to say so and I'll withdraw my character from the elections/have him refuse the office.
Sorry for any inconveniece this may cause.
We've been going at an unexpectedly fast past for the past couple Megas turns. Most have been done within the 24 hour per turn period. That is NOT mandatory by any means. If you need to take 48 hours or more per turn for a week, that is perfectly fine. Many turns in KOTR took well in excess of 72 hours, so you don't need to worry about slowing down the game too much, especially if it's only for a week.
Next friday (22nd), I am leaving town in the morning (US CT) and I will not be back until Sunday (24th) during the day. I have a wedding to go to for a cousin "downstate." I do not think I will even have internet access for those two days.
So, if elected, I will try to time things so I can release the new save for whatever turn we are on Friday morning. Then people will have their free move for that turn until I come back Sunday. That should leave the least amount of "deadtime." Other than that, I anticipate doing 24 hour turns for the rest of my term. Work has gone back to normal hours so I'll be off by 4:30PM US CT every weekday. So I will sync it so I take the save back when I get home from work every day.
I wouldn't worry about slow turns, our avatars are aging fast enough as it is, and whole years seem to pass without significant IC events. Maybe this way we'll have time to generate more conflict via discussion between Senate sessions. :laugh4:

I know I for one would appreciate a little bit more time to complete some stories and continue machinations.
For clarity, the 24 hour part of the rules was intended to make sure people always had at least that amount of time to make their turns. It was never intended to be the standard turn length that everyone should try and conform to. If a slower pace is desired by the majority, that should probably be done.
People shouldn't be worried that this could slow down the game..
Looks like the summer have already done it :laugh4:
Dun! Dun! Dunnnnnnnn!
Is this the end of Apionnas Vringas?
I still think "Byzantine Intrigues" would have been a more fitting title for the PBM. :laugh4:
Couldn't he have voted first?
True enough, perhaps his captors will kindly let him put in an absentee ballot.
Of course.
Vote No. 1: Fatimid Sultan!
Voting will be via satellite. Don't worry. :balloon2:
I just wish I was in the Senate to make comment. This type of story is the only type that would keep me away from contributing.
Maybe you could have some uppity proxy speak for you? It's all the rage. :laugh4:
Indeed.
With all the pomp and drama that one of those can bring to the occasion. :beam:
It is worth noting that while weapons and violence are not permitted in the Magnaura, there's nothing which says an annoying scribe can't be dragged out to the Hippodrome and 'done for' out there. Just don't get the shiny marble floors messy.
I was always fairly happy with the subtle threats of violence and bodily harm that we managed to get through to each other in the last game.
Although I could obviously not do the sword wielding furniture destroying speeches I did before...
...still, it's the middle ages. I wouldn't be seen dead without a whole bunch of weapons strapped to me. It's all so civilised.
Just a note as nothing was mentioned in the story post, but I gave full approval to AG's current storyline and have even been helping him with it.
Ahh sorry about that.
I'll edit that in now. :shame:
Now.. This might seem not that important but I just looked the SOT thread (just because I saw Motep posted there:clown:) and I saw that some people have old information in it.
It's not important to me but it's important to who ever is the Megas so perhaps people could edit their posts there more often:yes:
Just a little suggestion:yes:
