Hey hey, Becker's not neutral. He just hates both sides equally.Quote:

Since it kind of got buried, I'll say it again:
I have all orders except for Dutch_guy's. If he gets them in quickly, there is a possibility of this turn being resolved today.
geez. if that flank doesn't respond...
I'm working on it right now, I'll send it to you asap.Quote:

Okay, all orders received. I'm going to try to finish this turn before I leave tonight, but that's unlikely. There's a good chance the public feedback will be posted either around Midnight GMT-5 or the next morning.
I am asking for total radio silence IC and discretion OOC until then. Thank you.
Hey gibson, I'm always a fan of arson, but the Greeks beat you to the Pleasure Palace, it was destroyed when the Byzantines took Florence. Only the meeting room in the basement is intact, the upper stories are charred remnants. So Metallica is trying to light an already burned building on fire. But maybe that's something your henchmen would do.
Also, while the Palace is more TC's baby, I doubt we'd put a big glowing eye on the facade of the building. Usually lairs of secret societies don't advertise, excepting of course Scientologists and the Free Masons. :laugh4:
I was assuming two things:
1. It was rebuilt - AG's men in the Tavern were headed there
2. The Illuminati are growing cocky and feel that they won.
I just wanted one last silly short story, lol.
Yes one was heading there but the place is as OK describes it. We never rebuilt the top section after it was burnt to the ground...and no there was no burning red all seeing eye out the front :clown:Quote:

But certainly not on the front of our world headquarters.
(Apologies to all, I could not help the toilet humour joke).
The Turn 5 report will be up momentarily. Thank you for your patience.
Just by way of an FYI, Fritz was always Illuminati, back to long before I took over for Tamur. Technically I could have pulled him out of the Order, but I think he fit who he is rather well.
...and yes, you were all probably to some extent manipulated by Fritz's Chancellorship into the roles you ended up playing. Lothar was right, it was an execution.
Fritz von Kastilien, this is your life! Enjoy the story. :laugh4:

Fritz really had some issues when he was younger, Günther should have put him down ages ago :laugh4:
:balloon2:
Jeez, I get the impression everyone in the game was part of this secret little club but me. :laugh4:
But, as for Fritz turning, that was very well played gentlemen. It's also what I guessed the black flag meant and GH can confirm it. (Fritz's army placement gave it away. He was positioned perfectly to hit the Imperialist center and positioned badly to protect his left flank from the Order.)
I would like my KotR coffee mug now... :2thumbsup:
HOLY @#$%!
I had no idea. Seriously. And I'm not a complete noob. Just mostly.
Betrayal was the only thing that actually made sense, but who'd be involved and to what extent the betrayal would go were a complete mystery up to the very end.Quote:

Argghhhhh, Sturm und Drang, a monumental conflict and a Long Con finally comes to light, and Matt is only now entering the field. :furious3:
He just went from Matthias the Mighty to Matthias the Tardy.
I'll see if I can salvage this with a story.
Still, well played everyone. :2thumbsup:
Everything's coming out now, but please remember that the Battle of Trent is not over yet. The fate of the three (or four) remaining Imperialist commanders hang in the balance.
With that said, it's awesome to finally win. :yes: Well-played, everyone. I executed this battle as fairly as I could.
I'm more annoyed that Peter didn't kill Arnold or Jan and that Tancred and Athalwolf didn't kill Lothar or Hugo.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just wait and see, Dieter is still on the field, he'll kill you all!
I'll get you for that Ramses, I take everything personally :clown:
Reading Fritz's story put a lot in perspective. I always wondered how Larisa got the information she had. :laugh4:
She later took that information and tried to seduce Jan with it for his future assistance. (oh now that was an interesting string of PM's. I wished I kept them. [from now on, I will keep every single IC PM on my hard-drive...].) :yes:
Heh, it's best to try, I'm certainly not going to let you flee. :skull: :laugh4:Quote:

Well done everyone...
...once the Illuminati Chronicles are up it will become apparent just how much we worked on trying to influence everything at the least, and control things at the most.
I swear to god this could literally be a movie once the full transcript comes out...it's truly amazing.
PK it was only 6 of us in the end.
At the start TC and I, then OK, Northnovas, then GH and Tamur/Ramses (I forget the actual timing and order but that is what the Chronicles will be great for...even I'm looking forward to them!!).
The last person to be admitted was decades ago.
GH can I post something about the wrap up...kind of a general rule of surrender?
Arnold might be the Dread Lord but it's only usually directed at our enemies.
PM me the specifics.Quote:

To be clear, Larisa was Tamur's folly, not Ramses's, he merely inherited that back story.
Personally I consider that whole episode a dark chapter in the Order, or at least the most frustrating.

It was simply amazing.
I just said in the Illuminati email that right now I would love to sit down with EVERYONE, all 20 odd guy's and 1 girl and just talk about this whole thing for a solid afternoon.
That would be great!! :2thumbsup:
