Hmm... well, isn't the sicilians at war with the pope over Durazzo, so there is a chance that they might capture it and the Pope will shift back to Jerusalem?
Judging by the Sicilians repeated sieges of Cagliari, they couldn't succesfully assault a wet cardboard box.
I think it's time to get the Bavarian teeth out after some long service leave and unite the Italian peninsula.
Sorry for the delay in opening the Diet - I should have just done it last night.
By the normal timetable, the voting will run from Saturday 11am to Sunday 11am. This has traditionally been the deadest period for Diet participation. Is anyone going to be unable to vote in that period? If it is one or two, they can use postal (PM to me) votes. If it is more than that, we should change the timetable - e.g. have a two day poll spanning Sunday and Monday.
I'm available on the weekend.
I'll be travelling to Korea from 11:00am Thursday to noon Friday GMT+1.
I can jump on in the evening on Friday to hit the diet deliberations and voting will be no problem Sunday and Monday.
econ21, if the Kaiser succession debate really takes off, it might be wise to extend the Diet by a day or two. No need for it now, IMO, but flexibility could help if the discussions are intense, given the seriousness of the issue.
Just a note to tell you that I'll be out all day tomorrow, so I'll probably miss valuable debates.
AG, you must be psychic, and I'd say that the siegfired rebellion is taking off a bit.
My sons have also left me in a VERY tight position politically, but I think I've got it cracked.
I also agree that debate and voting might need to be/should be extended, this looks like quite a doozie (sp? even a word?) of a diet session
Given that this is probably Gerhards last Diet session, I really hope that Bavaria gets another avatar or 2, as I'd like to stay in Bavaria. Perhaps another 'adoption'?
Yup, Christmas is going to be very awkward at the Steffen homestead.
Edit: I might propose a OOC CA calling for the culling of some of our less desirable unclaimed avatars to promote new kids and adoptions.
I just ensured that x-mas will be awkward in the Franconian hall as well. :laugh4:
As for old avatars, there are not too many left. The old Swabian one just died. Jan has a brother in law thats 50 and sitting in Rome with Duke Steffan. The rest are pretty young. Jan's older brother is in Thorn and in his 30's. Jan's other brother in law is in Outremer and is in his young 20's. The younger Hummel brother is also in Outremer and in his teens. There is one more Kastillian and I think he is in his 30's. I think that is it for unclaimed avatars.
I know, but every little bit helps. The Houses are a bit lopsided and none of the younger avatars are getting married. If we got some duds left, may as well get them out of the way and then see what happens.
If the lopsidedness continues, I think we'll just have to bite the bullet and abduct some more Franconians to serve Austria. It's not ideal, but far better than having a House die out completely.
Didn't AG say something earlier about letting Austria die out if its going to die out?
Yeah, but I really don't like that idea. The way things are going, Bavaria will have avatar problems as well. Are we going to let all the Houses die until everyone is Franconian? Besides, four Houses are good for balance. With three, an alliance with two can always dominate the third. With four, it usually turns out to be two on two in the event of a contentous issue.
Well, I'm trying to spark a chivalry/dread divide IC so maybe that will help. It seems to transcend house lines. I don't want any of the houses to die out either but what do we do? Also, it seems that Swabia has more kids that will come of age soon and I don't hear talk of taking their avatars away. Though they do seem adept at losing their avatars. :laugh4:
Way back in a saved game I went a couple turns and Zirn had a son. I therefore had hope when a new save came up but I don't think it's going to happen. Though Arnold is younger and should get hooked up soon if she can look past his dread.:shame:Quote:

Plus that, none of the Kastillien sons is married
Yeah, out of the four Hamburg sons/son-in-laws, two are married(because their son in laws) and only one has a kid.

Vote for Lothar! He'll get you laid!
Idk, matthias has a history with the older women...
Ansehelm is fertile, vote for him and all the Reich will have children
True, we Steffens seem to have a way with the princesses. First that Hungarian for Lothar, then Heinrich's daughter for Matthias, now Jobst's daughter for Lothar.
Max's wife? isn't she technically his grand-aunt or something?Quote:
