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.

Fair enough, but if you post it to theFlax (with a backup), you won't need to be online after Marcus Agrippa shows up.

Re: Character Selection

im surprised actually, that the (almost) famous La Hire is not taken yet. For whoever gets him, I've got a cool Coat of Arms waiting.

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/showp...8&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.

Re: Character Selection

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.

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

Re: Character Selection

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

Re: Character Selection

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

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

Thanks. The "edit time" is misleading.

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!

Re: Character Selection

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:

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.
