Excellent, we're off to a good start it seems.
Just a reminder - I need 5-year schedules from Tuscany, Sardiniq and Genoa (the latter also needs to include instructions on diplomacy).
I know gunslinger and I want the shipwright constructed once the keep in Sardinia is completed.
Thank you, your wish will be granted.Quote:

I still need a schedule for Sardinia, apart from finishing the ship builder and building a fleet of dromons.
I propose that we set a deadline for future schedules, and if the deadline is passed, but no schedule has been submitted, set taxes to medium, and not build anything.
Lowering taxes and slowing down buildings will hurt eeveryone, especially in the early stage that we are. If I do not hear from Gunslinger and Martok by tomorrow, Monday, I will continue just finishing the shipyard and building the dromons, and I might add a border fort as loyalty in Sardinia hovers dangerously just above 100%.
That sounds like a plan ~:)

In the future you may take Martok's word with as much weight as my own if I don't check in.
Oh great - now you feel offended. I tell you what - I will not build anything in Sardinia, and I will not train anything there, wihtout your or Martok's express confirmation. Will that make you happier? Also, feel free to replace me as a Chancellor at any time.
Come on guys, calm down.... If it's like that, then we have a co-chancellor, who's there to make sure that the other guys are satisfied.
No, Gunslinger is right - I have been in the driver's seat for too long now. Enough is enough. I will only do what I am told to do by the other players, and there will be no initative coming from me. I will only play the next five turns when I get the schedules submitted to me one way or another, and if someone forgets to send me a schedule, well, so be it, the game will be on hold until he or she does. With this being said, my participation will be limited, as this will be in everyone's best interest.
Okay, if that's what you want.
So, we're still missing Sardinia's schedule, right?
Right.Quote:

Oi!
I don't think we should just skip out on a province just because the player representing it absent. It's his own fault if a player misses out on a round, but I don't think the game (nor the realism of it) should have to suffer just because. I think the Chancellor should have the right to construct and recruit what he considers fit if a PR is absent.
After the shipyard is finished, please build a dromon in Sardinia spreading the cost of it around as Kavhan suggested. That is, if the other parties to the deal have agreed.
Please adjust taxes as necessary to keep loyalty above 100%.
Kavhan, I'm glad you stepped up to take on the work of being Chancellor. I didn't want to do it, and apparently, neither did anyone else. As the person who can actually see what's going on within the strat map, you are in a position to offer the best suggestions about "current events." In fact, I have agreed with most of what you've proposed since the beginning of this whole experiment. When I've raised complaints (first in character, and mainly just for fun) and now out of character it's been because of micromanagement. I guess I have a real life independent streak in me. This should work out well since you have already stated that you wanted Sardinia to be a somewhat independent-minded province.
As I said before, if I'm not around then please don't hesitate to just take Martok's word as "law" as far as Sardinia is concerned.
Well a border fort in Sardinia probably isn't a bad idea, as recruiting additional soldiers simply for garrison duty wouldn't be worth what it would cost to pay them. After that, I believe we wanted a salt mine built. (Sardinia *does* have salt deposits, right? I still don't have my new PC yet, so I can't remember for sure. ~:rolleyes:)
No Gunslinger, you are right - I made more decisions than I should have, and to be honest I also felt it was wrong. I am glad you brought it up. For now, I am going to leave the decisions to the rest of the players and just do my duty as a Chancellor. I may still vote on proposals, made by others.
I have all schedules and instructions now, and I will resume the game as soon as I can - today is Monday and this is usually a busy day, but I will see what I can do.
P.S. Sardinia has salt and silver resources.
Thanks Kavhan. Yeah, go ahead with the salt mine please. ~:)Quote:

I will be away for the weekend, and I wish all of you a lovely Easter.
Even though I don't celebrate it myself, have a good Eastern everybody!
And kudo's to Kavhan for doing the tough job ~:)
Seconded. Happy Easter guys! :balloon2:
Thirded. I recieved the save game, and am going to play it tonight, probably.
Happy Easter y'all!
It has been some time now and if I do not get any news soon, I will need to autocalculate the battle as we need to proceed with the game.
I'm sure everyone is still catching up from the Easter weekend. IIRC we sent quite a few archers, so I hope we don't have to autocalc!
Both points well taken. I am sure that Warmaster Horus will respond soon, until then I will wait unless the majority of players express a desire to press on with the campaign.
Horus is probably still having after-Easter effects. I'd give him some more time.
Here I am! Fear not.
I haven't been able to fight the battles as of yet, because my family and I went to visit my Grandma from Saturday 'til yesterday afternoon. I'd forgotten my MTW disc, and I had a rather large assignement for school today, which I'd completed yesterday afternoon.
So, don't worry, Genoa will hopefully be victorious tonight!
