Sorry to hear that Quirl, I hope things work out.

Don't mean to bug you, but things have really been dying down of late. If you are losing interest in the game, are there any suggestions you could make on how to make things more interesting?
Getting lonely here, seems like im mostly alone with all my posts :)
part from a very capable monkey, and dedicated Nightbrigner!
@Mithridate, nice battle report. You reminded me I owe one...
@Nightbringer, don't worry I'm sure it's just RL that's keeping the guys away. They'll be back
Roleplaying's an option. :)
Sorry, it's just tough not even being able to look at the saves. I think I've found all my discs. Assuming they aren't too scratched up I'll be able to install within the day.
Phonics will be queueing som units for me. I should be able to do the turn report tomorrow myself if that's ok.

I really liked those Council sessions from previous games. Perhaps we could have one of these from time to time? Not once in 10 turns or so but when something big happens in the game. I think this allows us having more IC talk between our characters.
Also, I was thinking that perhaps anyone is interested in a Tournament like we had in the KotF game? We could ask @TinCow or @GeneralHankerchief to host one for old time sake.
Ooo, include me in ur plans! Pretty please :PQuote:

Oops, sorry zim, I forgot about your computer.
I like the idea of doing the council sessions, what would people think of doing one after turn 10? Not to be doing them every 10 turns, but just to get the idea started. After that,they would come up at times of particular importance.
Also, i will be taking the save later today, so if you want to get your turn in move fast! :)
How many players would be participating?Quote:

@House Stark and @Ignoramus are being MIA. Hopefully they are still playing.
@Quirl decided to leave unfortunately. I do hope he could just stay in the game for RP whether or not he can actually take the saves or not.
So, basically we don't have that many players. I do hope this will change in near future.
That's small enough that I think I could manage it, using the existing rules from the KotF tournament. Just let me know when to start it and get me the necessary trait, etc. info on all the participants, as I don't have the game installed, so can't view a save.
what is this tournament thing anyway?
In "King of the Franks" we had a tournament held at the start of the game.
Here are 2 threads about it: Tournament game thread and its Rules.
That looks awesome, I would really appreciate it if you wanted to run one tincow!
From personal experience I think it's a fair bet Ignoramus will be back around. I'd really like to participate in a tournament.
Installing MTW2 now. Had a bit of a scare when I had the discs but didn't know where the box was for the CD Key but it's been located.
Edit: False hope. I had two disc #1s. :clown:

Bought Gold on steam for $9.99. It's downloading now.
If it weren't too late I might have gone for gamersgate, though. I think it might be easier to get mods working on a game downloaded from them...
For the past year or so I have never had any problems with games from gamersgate. All mods etc work just fine. But I've heard that Steam is not so kind towards mods and stuff..
Why not just do something which is against the Org rules to even discuss?
Instead of abiding by the Org rules :) @Zim
Fixed that for you @Mithridate, please play by the forum rules.Quote:

Sorry for my inactivity - had a busy first week at uni. Getting back into the swing of things now.
Thats okay iggy, glad to have you back!Quote:

Big negative :)
I think that is a good idea.
Either phonics or Cecil could call the nobles together. This would be a very good time for a tournament. Since there are not taht many of us then I don't think it will take that long to process the turns in the tournament.
So, I propose that all participants will play 300f entry fee and turns will last 24 hours. The winner would get 75% of that money and 25% will go to the second place. Sounds good?
Exactly, hopefully the tournament will go by quickly and you guys can also figure out some direction for what you are doing next. It will also be a fun opportunity to develop characters a bit more I think.
If
Also, if anyone knows anyone that might be interested, please invite them over. house stark seems gone for sure, iggy has been ridiculously busy so he hasn't been active, and Zim and Quirl have non-working games.
@TinCow or @GeneralHankerchief, what info would you need for the tournament exactly?
A list of characters to be involved, full stats (with V&V) for each character, and whether it's a team event or a free-for-all.
V&V? I'm not sure what you mean. I think given the small number of players, we should probably stick to a free for all, but if others would prefer team it is up to the players.Quote:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I suggest that tournament thread should be created. It should be an IC thread. Also, TinCow asked whether it was a team or individual event. I think it should be individual. There are too few of us to make it into a team event.Quote:

Hey everyone, I'll be mostly out for day or so and then gone completely until Next Monday night.
If I haven't missed too much in that time I'd like to participate in the tournament when I get back.
I think we should definitely try to get it finished before april.Quote:

Bokony a huntpaznan nembol (@Mithridate)
Demeter az Aba nembol (@Zim)
also, Sam, the squire of Ludolf, a Sicilian, will be participating if given permission.
I will send you the stats for him if he is given that.
I also greatly encourage everyone to come up with designs for your heraldry, gear, retinue, etc... for the tournament. Having those descriptive details will be great. If you would like to write up some stories, your entrance, things you do outside of events, etc... that would be awesome as well!
I'm Demeter, actually, unless I lost my character since not being able to play him the last few turns... If I haven't, I wouldn't mind taking a new character if Demeter and his castle were better suited to someone who currently has a copy of the game.
oops, I knew that... :)Quote:

Not as bad as Andras though, he is a total hermit now.
Sitting in a little fort with his bodyguard fro a couple years now.
Sulking and cheating his taxes by not reporting recent recruitment. :clown:
First thing I'll have to do when I get MTW2 up and running is backtrack a turn or two and double check income and expenditures for the last few turns... :sweatdrop:
Can someone please provide me with the bodyguard valor for each of the participants? I would also like screenshots of all the avatar heads, so that I can place them on the combat grid. As the tournament appears to be best as a free-for-all, the initial setup will be with the participants arranged in a ring around the outside of a circular combat grid and as evenly spaced as possible.
There has been a question about whether other events, like jousting and archery, could be included. I would be happy to run such events, but I do not have time to create rules for them. Unless someone else can draw up rules for those contests, the tournament will be a melee only.
Ill fix my two participants, want both Bokony and Hahold to participate

Gah! I think Kerecse should fight a bit more battles than he have done so far... valor is 0? Or he should just sit in some fort for some time and do nothing like some other characters have done so far. ~:clown:
@Nightbringer - Can we use the Tournament threadfor IC conversations?
absolutely! I encourage it!
If this is going to run before I leave in April, we need to get a solid schedule going. Does anyone have any issues if the tournament begins on Monday with 24 hour rounds? Please be aware that if we start this before my trip and it continues into April for any reason, I will not be able to continue hosting it until I get back in late April.
Seconded
Monday is perfect for me! Also, 24 hour turns should be fine.
I need a mugshot of King Pozsony, the link above is to the wrong image. I am preparing the game on the assumption that the contestants are as follows:
Kerecse a Geregye nembol (The King)
Junior King Bokeny (phonicsmonkey)
King Pozsony (Cecil XIX)
Andras a zah nembol (Ignoramus)
Petur az akus nembol (Quirl)
Bokony a huntpaznan nembol (Mithridate)
Demeter az Aba nembol (Zim)
If any of these people are NOT participating, or if I have missed someone, please let me know ASAP
@The King, @phonicsmonkey, @Cecil XIX, @Ignoramus, @Quirl, @Mithridate, @Zim
I am participating.
Apologies for the delay, there have been some last-minute changes to the participants and I am waiting on new stats and such. The tournament will begin shortly after I receive that information.

@TinCow
I have had a query regarding the Tournament that includes issues involving the death of combatants. I had been assuming the tournament was to be entirely non-lethal (like in KotF). If the players want death as a possibility, I will allow it, but I would like that to be a group or, at a minimum, a game host decision.
I think this tournament should be non-lethal. We don't have enough players and loosing some avatars might hurt the game.
True, but i want to get more dread!!!
No fatalities please, we need all our characters!
I agree, no fatalities.
That's good enough for me. The tournament will be 100% non-lethal.
Is there no way to contact Ignoramus or Zim?
I've been looking out for Zim on Steam, if I see him online I'll message him there
Now that we have @Zim things should become more interesting in the tournament .. and in the courtroom as well. The latter is awkwardly quiet though..
My apologies, but I'm a bit busy tonight. Resolution of the latest Tournament turn will not occur until tomorrow morning.
There are good reasons for that, part of which is that all the characters are beating each other up in the arena....but all will become clearer soonQuote:

Err... oops. I just realized I didn't factor the initiative sequence in properly for the Sam/Bokeny situation. I will be making changes to the write-op, one moment.
Ok, fixed. Sorry about that, I originally did the SW area moves without factoring in initiative because they didn't intercept any other characters. However, Sam's pushback from the first melee pushed him right into the path of Bokeny. In that situation, if Bokeny had already ended his movement, then there would have been no second melee this turn, and both would have started locked in combat next turn. However, that wasn't right because Bokeny had a low initiative, so his movement came after Sam had already been pushed back. Thus, Bokeny charged right into Sam, resulting in the second melee. Apologies for any confusion for people who saw the original version.
