HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
So much fun.
One night when I was still in high school I and some other idiots got the idea into our heads to walk about twenty miles to the next town. Along the way we recited, not quite in sequence, the entire script of MP and the Holy Grail, taking different parts as the mood took us.
Not a course I'd recommend to anyone, but it's definitely one way to stave off boredom.

Dibs on this guy! :laugh4:
Oh im looking forward to this!
This place has become somewhat quiet. It looks like we're all just about ready for TC to come back and wave the green flag.
I think that the green light for the avatar choosing could be given, so the political manouvering could begin.:gathering:
What is that supposed to mean ?Quote:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
So GH, didnt you find any of the existing avatars good as you wrote pass in the selection?
Maybe he wants to have dibs on one of the Komnenos boys?
Could be, i wonder then why he didnt take the caesar. Maybe GH is tired of playing Emperors.:clown:Quote:

Not even close. We demand more GH! Surely you can find something to do? Example: Take the priest, get appointed as the Patriarch, and then start excommunicating avatars who don't live up to the Christian ideal. You'd have the high piety types listen to you, nice way to start random civil wars.
That actually might fit perfectly. Is there a Patriarch mechanism in SS4.1?
Don't think so, the whole thing would have to be RPed.
I'm almost frightened by the prospect of playing my character, because he will truly be a bizarre one. :laugh2:
GH as an eastern "Pope"? The world would be turned upside down.
If this occured as Emperor I would feel a bit threatened, as the emphasis would turn from Popicide to Regicide.
Also, how are we going to kill off all those unclaimed RGBs? I don't think there is a console command that will do it.
We got rid of Siegfried, we can get rid of these clowns. :tnt:
Depending how much we follow history, that could be very interesting.
The Emperor having both temporal and spiritual powers, was leader of the State and Church in theory. In practice, a strong patriarch could more than hold his own against the Emperor. There is much potential for interesting stories in this "relationship".
getting rid of generals is as simple as using the move_character (character name), (x,y) cheat. To find out where a certain location is, use the show_cursorstat cheat. The objective in destroying a general is to move him across water via a land bridge, and then hit backspace when he's almost halfway across so he stops on the water tile and dies.
example: "Move_character Kilij Arslan 24,144"
Puts the Sultan of the turks next to the land bridge in BC. Then move towards rome and die halfway across. No more Kilij Arslan.
Lo, I have revealed the magical secret behind destroying unwanted generals. Yea, use this power for good only, because to use it for evil purposes would bring about the apocalypse.
Also, it's just way funner to kill generals on the battlefield, so there's always that.
or you can just use "kill_character 'name goes here'"
Wasn't the "backspace while over a land bridge" thing discovered as a way to eliminate armies rather than generals, or is there a command for that as well?
You can just disband armies, I think we used the drowning technique in hotseats that had the console disabled (eg MPC)
Being the first and foremost to have suffered from that "technique" I can only confirm that land-bridges drowning works just fine to get rid of unwanted avatars...
Too fine if you ask me...:furious3:
So we can have stories about how a player gets tried and eventually burned at the stake for heresy?
Can we also have lawsuits after somebody gets caught during an act of high treason (like sleeping with the emperor's wife?), with a subsequent death sentence?
Is demanding financial compensation instead of starting a civil war a possibility?
Endless possibilities :jumping:
Did things like that happen in KoTR?
No, but we did have other "interesting" happenings...
As the Byzantine Empire, we are supposed to be decadent, aren't we?
So we need characters who are more concerned with their hedonistic needs then with the survival of our Empire...
Booze, (wo)men and cowardice, here I come...
One of my requirements for an avatar was the Social Drinker trait. ~:cheers:Quote:

Avatars don't always turn out as you initially plan them. My Mandorf in KOTR was initially intended to be a vile, debauched bastard of the highest order. Then he picked up a retinue member who was essentially a Saint and I had to alter things a bit...
