My sympathies on your loss W&F. :thumbsdown: I hope you ask for another avatar.
:egypt:
Yeah, same here. Incidentally: Alphonse La Hire is still free! :laugh4:
Sorry OK. Our Duchy was small to begin with and then I ran off and did something silly like that. In case you were wondering, your IC order/suggestion was very clear. However, I knew that was the only time I had in the next couple of days to fight a battle, so I decided to have a bit of fun. Alas, those dang mounted sergeants are a wee bit faster than I remember them to be. I hope the Duchy has some luck in recruiting new members. :bow:
I will rejoin the game at some point but not right away. I'm thinking in a few seneschal terms when Bertin's (so far unmentioned)bastard children reach avatar age. On the positive side, I think I can make a rather entertaining story out of Bertin's death. Hopefully I'll find some time this week to write it.
I sure will miss Bertin, though. He was my favorite avatar so far:shame:
That's a shame, on the bright side considering your stories there will be many bastards to choose from. :2thumbsup:
Mounted Sergeants are ideal for chasing down Family Members for better or worse.
My condelences to OK, who lost Hugues this turn to the "Age mod"...
Lorraine is moribund...
What a shame. May I ask what his age was? I haven't been keeping track.
50... which brings Philippe so much nearer to the grave...
CRAP!! That's my plan scupperd
Are we going to stick to the rule that players wait 5 turns before respawning? My 2 cents is that we don't need to with players that die under another player's charge or due to natural causes. So we could just give CDF, Northnovas and OK a choice of those three avatars? Unless Zim steps in, I suggest they rank the 3 avatars in order of preference and Tristan use a random number or some other method to resolve ties.Quote:

Commiserations on your loss, Woad&fangs: do let us know when you want a new avatar spawning.
Zim specifically asked me to recruit these 3 avatars.
I'm all for giving them to CDF, NN and OK. I would even have done it before hitting end turn, last turn, but didn't think about it.
We've also got a 4th avatar waiting that could become a family member (OK ?) which might be a good idea if we want our faction to last (as we've almost no male continuation).
I'll recruit the necessary avatars next turn.
Piss poor timing indeed. :sweatdrop:Quote:

J'Accuse KnightnDay!
As for spawning RGBs: I think we should let the new recruits have dibs first then those of us going a second time around. My understanding of the 5 turn wait for a RGB is that it was meant to curtail players developing a wasteful attitude toward RGBs. So if you die in a battle, you wait a while for the next clone slug, unless a family member is available. What's a bit more iffy is if those of us who died of old age or by the actions of others need to wait as well.
Personally, I'm not in a huge rush to get another avatar.
Yes, this is all part of the Thomas' master plan for world domination. :clown:
Now, how to get the Duchy back on its feet...:dizzy2:
Loss of avatar due to Ingame death (rather than player's wish) should not require a 5 turns waiting period, IMHO.
And KnD, a good start to putting the Duchy back on its tracks would be to avoid death at the hands of the uber-stack generated by our GM and his elves...
All hail Duc Thomas the Unlikely!
Try not to die. :evilgrin:
There's help available IF you want to take it....(see the Council thread)Quote:

Try to envision a medieval version of same, and you've got Philippe...
Really?!? I was thinking a more "man in the iron mask"...bit more French :laugh4:
I'm not much good with new-fangled technology like light sabers. I'll stick to more conventional means.

Ahh, dark days have come. Even greater sympathies on your loss OK, I hate it when the engine gobbles up an avatar. All that fun conflict that could've developed between King Louis and his old Duke is gone now too.
On the bright side Louis is now even more convinced God is on his side. Everyone who speaks out against him dies or is punished. :laugh4:
:egypt:
I have nothing against scrapping the whole 5 turn thing entirely. There are just many occasion where it doesn't make sense. And from what I've seen so far we don't have to be afraid of anyone trying to become wasteful with their avatars.
Tough luck OK, but I already look forward to your next avatar!
Do you know if one of them is for me? Zim never did get back to me and I haven't seen him around in a while but I'm still here lurkingQuote:

We got no news from you for some time... Even before Ibn claimed Charles back...
One of these could be for you depending on who claims them..
If I'm not mistaken, we have currently Elite Ferret, Cultured Drizzt Fan, Northnovas, Overknight, HolyGateKeeper and Shlin28 waiting for an avatar...
I've listed them in order of request (or order of demise...) so we could use this setup : EF, CDF and NN get to choose among the 3 from this turn, OK, HGK and S28 will get to choose from the next batch...
Zim got news from me, I was just waiting for Charles to come of age but I was on holiday when it happened. When I got back Zim told me Ibn wanted him so I said okay I'll have a RGB, but then a while later Ibn asked me as well so I don't know what happened there but yeah I said the same again. I guess I should have posted here as well...
I'm happy to wait until later if anyone else wants those three, I'm in no great rush.
I can wait. Let everyone else (especially the vets) have the avatars first :yes:
Hey, EF, I didn't know you were in touch with Zim... At the utmost, you'll have a single turn to wait... Your new avatar should be waiting for you Wednesday at the latest.
Mine definitely works. Maybe you could try DLing it anew ?Quote:
Aussiegiant : Hi Ramses,
I'm getting an error on that save using winRAR. Can you give it another shot?
give me a little while to go over them and I will chose. :yes: thanks guys :sweatdrop:
Ooo...new victi...erm...members to join us. Excellent.
muhahahahahhahahaha!
And you wonder why Gontran's sitting in the south, soaking up the sun.
Edit: So, how did you guys keep things interesting in prior games? I figured there'd be more squabbling over resources, wars, etc. How did you stay interested?
Well, there should be more "Bad Boys". Things would become more interesting then.:yes:
It's not easy. I'm glad of the various deaths, even if I know they must be annoying, because they ought to spruce things up a bit. I also really really really really think we need some sort of GM event. We are simply too powerful already.
As a sidenote, I imagine Raoul as a combination of

and

OK I am willing to take Micheal D'Anjou :bow:
I agree with this part. There haven't been any yet and I liked them in LotR..Quote:

ohhh, I LIKE this avatar :beam: I have a good story for him. :yes:
I've proposed a thing with Zim, but it might take some time to develop. We'll see.
Louis, for the record, has an off-the-charts loyalty rating. I'm rather trapped with how much I can exploit his temperment disagreement with his father. There will be conflict in the future, rest assured.
edit: By the way, was the save taken mine or Tristan's? Did mine fail for anyone other than AG?
:egypt:
Good. I like TC's revelation about the private disputes within France. Lately there's been no reason for any given all the wars. Gontran is pissed about the lack of development in his settlement but he's more likely to bed some Italian girl than pick a fight.
Well if CDF as his pick from the 3 I will take Beavis the one young enough to be someone's bastard son. :idea2:
Interest? Is it time for me to add that Henri is really the bastard son of one of our spies, and is being manipulated by him in the background? :idea2:…Nahh, done that one already (WotS). :oops:
Fun is coming, it just takes time and lots of back-room moves…it’s a chess game..I…(whoops!)…we have to get the pieces in position before we stir things up.
(Braden nonchalantly wanders off whistling quietly) :laugh4:
Hello guys! Just touching base again after so many hectic weeks. I'm really sorry about my absence. Has much happened?
Not much...:beam:
People died, the King has vetoed the Counseil, there has been no Crusade to nowhere, you are still Steward of Antwerp although with a hint of incompetence attached to your name, because you weren't there to defend it against the Germans.
Yeah, I had to send someone else there to look after the place! :laugh4:
So about our RGBs,
We have :
Cultured Drizzt Fan - Michel d'Anjou
Northnovas - Gauthier de Beauvais
Anyone wants André des Vaux ?
(Opps!)
I'm not sure how much time I'll have over the next couple of months. Would people mind if Gaspard wasn't so active, and thus his character took a different course?
Play him how you want to play him, Igno... That's what's good with these games, you make of it what you want, what you will...
Yeah, I was only kidding anyway. As long as your SoT's allow some movement it'll be ok.Quote:

Due to my inability to "teleport" avatars through the console (and unless someone wants to give it a try), I'm ready to recruit the next avatars for the players wanting one in whichever town they'd prefer...
So HolyGateKeeper, Shlin28 and OverKnight, speak up and I'll make sure to recruit them wherever you want them to be...
I wish my avatar to be spawned in Paris :yes:
Be aware that the game allows only one RGB spawn by province per turn, hence you'll be stuck with this avatar.
I'll try and spawn them around the country so probably one in Paris, one in Bordeaux and the last in Bern or Staufen.
EDIT : Btw, I'll probably be taking the save tonight (GMT + 1) as everybody seems to have made their moves.

alright, now I need to write my story. :juggle2: Then chose my house and such. man am I busy these days :sweatdrop:
Btw, CDF, sorry about the timing... I waited a bit and not seeing you access the save I decided to give it a go...
Its fine, I am wiped out anyway. :sweatdrop: I can do it all next turn anyway. not too big of a deal.Quote:

Build walls for Gontran! The ladies knocking down his door are too much. He's in his late 30's now. Give hime some rest!
Excellent, the avatar spawned for me in Paris is Villain de la Salle.
If my mediocre French is correct, wouldn't he be literally the 'Villain in the Room'? :beam:
That's a fair translation of his name, yes... I got a good laugh when I saw him :beam:
Just read the latest stories…excellent, short but good and noticed…
“Théophile” ?
Théophile de la Salle ?
Was he the French equivalent of Peter Phile?
….think about it….:inquisitive::laugh4:
Good. Maybe we can get some good robber-baron drama going. Start working on that :skull:Quote:

If anybody sees any errors, please point them out. I plan to update this in more-or-less real time, rather than every ten turns.
Pamplona also belongs to House Aquitaine (edit: to Prince Louis of HA), assigned at the last Council session.
Valencia belongs to Barbus Selvo, assigned at the same time as Pamplona.
That's all I spotted, other than the white being nearly invisible it looks great! :2thumbsup:
:egypt:
Nice job! This should be very helpful.
I don't know whether Alain de Rohan accepted London so not sure whom it belongs to.
Also I think it would be great if you could put the owner of Granada as unratified. That way you know at a glance which provinces have not yet been ratified.
There might be a slight delay until the next turn is posted as I'll have both to relieve the siege of York and do the Senechal's work for the turn...
Expect it Saturday at the latest... Will keep you posted...
Btw, do you prefer a 24-hour period per turn or a 48-hour as has been the case until now ?
Hasn't Phillip granted York to Charles?
48hrs is fine for me as I computer-share with my wife...(mutters grumbles that her Empire game is going better than his own)
Not in the Conseil, at least.Quote:

Quite a few players download saves just to make moves (as opposed to fight battles), so 48-hours seems a more realistic interval. It also allows more time for the in character forum exchanges to keep up with in game events.Quote:

Oui, Henri will have the honor. Updating my SoT to cover it, although not real necessary.
Hello people.
I've been following this game avidly for the last few days. It looks very exciting and I would love to join. I just need to finish installing/downloading M2TW, Kingdoms and the various patches first which should only take until tommorow.
I do like an early start however, so is there any family members not taken? If not I would be fine taking a RGB.
The battle against the Moors near Marseille is finally up, I'm working on the three (!) others I have backlogged.
