:2thumbsup: I'll be waiting with anticipation.
Give me a couple of days for the next chapter, guys. That way school will end and I'll have plenty of time.
Note: I will be gone from Dec. 20th to Jan. 8th. Between then, my faction will be mostly inactive.
:2thumbsup:
Last day of school tomorrow. Expect it this weekend.
I will send the turns and I will try to be active again. Happy b-day, BTW.Quote:

Yuan Shu has revealed himself to be a brigand, and seeks to take advantage of the emperor's current struggles to fatten his own stores.
While I served Yuan Shu, I shed blood on his behalf, and I laid my sword at his feet. I was his servant, to do with as he would. I did all this because it was as heaven has commaneded it to be... emperor serves the gods, lords serve the emeperor, generals serve the lords, soldiers serve the generals, the farmers serve the soldiers, and the gods serve the farmers. One great circle, each respecting his superior and caring for his inferior.
But Yuan Shu has broken the harmonious circle. He has betrayed the emperor, and indeed, he has betrayed us all. He must be made to pay for his crimes. Your brave defense of him is noted, and I promise, all men who lay down their arms will be paroled with their que intact. But any who continue to fight beyond a fortnight are declaring themselves to support Yuan Shu's choices and will share in his fate. Turn away now, brothers. Send Yuan Shu to me and save Shao Chun from ruin. Indeed, I would urge you to turn your swords, with mine and with Lu Bu's, to defend the emperor from the filthy dog, Li Jue. Every day counts, act now! The glory of our service to the emperor will be told in stories for thousands of years, and we will feast in the halls of the honored servants in the afterlife. Turn Yuan Shu over to me, and help me cleanse the land and restore the emperor, may he reign forever!
This update is taking a bit longer because I'm going to try a little something new to keep everything fun. Expect it by Sunday.
The holidays were killing me. I got the new feature in, I believe, if it runs smoothly, then we're golden. The new chapter WILL BE tonight. I promise, and sorry for the constant delays for the past 2 or so weeks.
Take your time, its not like its been abondoned. These things take a lot of time.Quote:

Summer 195
The heat of summer sets in across the land, and, seemingly in concert with the change of season, the fights across the land intensify. The Central Plains region is in turmoil, as Cao Cao, in an unexpected military strike, attacks Liu Dai at Qiao. Liu's armies do not fare well against the combined might of the brothers Xiahou, Yuan and Dun, and Dian Wei, Cao's trusted bodyguard. Liu Dai's men are forced to retreat to the city of Qiao, in lieu of destruction at the hands of their enemies.
At Shou Chun, the armies of Yuan Shu, the pretender Emperor, have been purged from the land, although Yuan has fled with his family and two of his generals, Ji Ling and Liu Xun, however, where they have gone to is a mystery. Lu Bu's armies, under his officer, Zhang Liao, have claimed the city for themselves, and also captured and executed Yuan Shu's "Imperial" Grand Commander, Zhang Xun. Lu's army was able to take the city easily due to treachery from two of Yuan's commanders: Lei Bo and Chen Lan. These two have left the city and have apparently become bandits in the region around Ru Nan. Sun Ce has also sent men against Tao Qian's stronghold of Xia Pi, but in order to protect against the invasion, Tao surrendered to Sun Ce's ally, Lu Bu, and declared the city to be under Lu's ownership. Sun Ce's force halted to avoid confrontation with his ally.
In the North, Han Fu's men have retreated from Ye, due to a combination of indecisiveness and a lack of food. Yuan Shao's also has decided to bide his time and wait for the time being, although in the meanwhile searching for the fugitives Zhao Yun and Shan Jing. Liu Bei of Ping Yuan, realizing there is nothing for him in the North, flees south and is taken in by Kong Zhou, who grants Liu Bei the governorship of Wan.
In the Southeast, Shi Xie's forces are able to rout Dong Xi's men and advance on the city of Hui Ji. This was made possible through the switch of alliegance of Yan Baihu, the Ruler of Wu. Dong was able to sustain minimal losses, as he saw he was in a bad position and immediately retreated from the battle. Yan Baihu's force of about 7,000, now allied with the forces of Yue, began an advance toward Hui Ji as well. Further to the west, Shi Xie's men were able to take Ling Ling and have begun to build up the defenses of Ling Ling and Gui Yang. Liu Biao, has begun to fortify all of his cities in the case of an attack from Yue.
In the West, Ma Teng's men have wiped out Li Jue's ally, Guo Si, but at the same time, Han Sui has been pushed into a corner by Li's men. However, from the South, Zhang Lu has risen against Li Jue and has pushed into his territory with a large force. This insurgency was halted by a small force led by Jia Xu, Li Jue's head tactician. Jia Xu foresaw the attack and had set up a border guard at Chen Cang, a castle outside of Chang An. However, just as Zhang Lu's men were to commence an assault on the fort, another force appeared on the horizon, the leader, a young man, rode out to the front of his body of troops and shouted: "The Son of Heaven is here! He who raises a sword will pay the dearest cost!" The Emperor Xian had taken up arms in support of Li Jue. He has also declared he wishes to speak to Zhang Lu in private. The battle, for the time being, has halted.

You'll notice in the PMs, I've implemented a family system, you have family members in your command. They have 3 stats each: Leadership/Fighting ability (War), Intelligence (IQ), and Conduct (DIP). They will be on a scale of 1-100, and only the Lord in control of the men will know of their stats. These are an indicator as to how well the men will do when given an order to carry out that isn't your Lord doing it. For example: Lord A wants Family Member A to carry out a campaign on City 1. Family Member A has stats of 90/90/10. The Conduct stat is completely null in this case, as it is a battle. He will most likely be very successful in the campaign. These stats can change for better or worse, depending on what the family member does. These stats also have luck associated with them, as in real life. The family will also have ages, locations, and relations to the Lord, for the purpose of choosing an heir in the event of the death of a Lord. The age of your lord is also available. I may put non-historical sons for those Lords who didn't have any historically. If you have a son who is not of age yet, you will have tabs on his development. You can make the person do certain things in order to try and increase their proficiency and groom them for maturity, but you have to come up with things for them to do (ex: study, train with troops, follow along on a campaign and observe). The son (or family member) will be available for military and domestic use when he turns 16. You will not have a number stat for any of the stats of an heir until they are 10 years old, up until that time you will get a gauge of their potential (Excellent, Good, Fair, Weak, Pitiful). All heirs start off weak (in special cases, fair) in all proficiencies, and will develop or get worse in them, depending on what you make them study/do.
Now open for use due to inactivity: Liu Bei and Liu Biao.
Expect PMs tomorrow.
If I took you out due to inactivity, you can reclaim the ruler you lost.
How do I know who are 'em?
Hmmm, interesting. :2thumbsup:
PMs are out, map is updated. Happy gaming, guys.
Just wanted to say that I'm starting my military service tomorrow. I will still participate, but maybe not as actively.
Good luck, Agony! :2thumbsup:Quote:

Are you lot trying to recreate Romance of the Three Kingdoms series. I played IX a couple of years ago, pretty good game. and they divide it into time periods as well, they should of done that in Rome.
As a good Chinese boy, I have that game in my possession. The answer I'm guessing is "yes".
And please Seignthelas, don't let this Interactive die! It's a very fun and unique RP and it would be a shame to see it die.
Chill, the pace is kind of slow because I went camping.
Oh sorry about my incessant whining then.
If seignthelas doesn't revive this in 1-2 weeks, I will personally take over the game. Unless of course, I get word from seignthelas that he will indeed be resuming it.
You will need to have a lot of PM's from him, as you will need to have all the info. What will you do if you dont get any info from him?Quote:

:inquisitive: :help: :inquisitive: What's going on???
Seignthelas hasn't been active in this thread for over a month, so I will take over the IH if he doesn't come back. I really don't want this to die.
(Although I might not have time either, due to work).
