Nice visualisation there Rowan. How would you describe the Caesar then? :beam:

Looking through the Senate Library, I just noticed that Apionnas had the "Loathes the Muslim" trait...
Maybe he's not so bad after all...:beam:
Yes quite an ironic trait that given his background. I simply ignored that particular one. :balloon2:
So where are these two gentlemen? Are they going to make an appearance or is this just some elaborate joke. :beam:
Yeah, so I tried playing around with the ancillaries and nothing seemed to work. I tried the code provided by TinCow changing around from upper to lowercase but still the ancillary can't be found. The same is true for any Pagan Magicians. So just consider me a console noob and feel free to do it yourself when you take the save!
Sorry for the inconvenience!

OK,
Are you going to make your way over to the Summit thread or should we start without you? :inquisitive:
Oh yeah, Vissa has grown another Pagan Magician that needs to be eliminated as well. I think I can just refer everyone back to the previous story for explanation. :laugh4:
:egypt:
Just a note that I won't be online tomorrow, so that is why the Basileus may not post.
Hypothetical question, which we can hopefully keep OOC. What happens if the summit isn't over when I land Vissa on Nicosia next year? Can I at least threaten my enemies who are supposedly there? Can I block the port with my fleet and prevent them fleeing? Or are they not actually there even in theory?
Just curious, figured it could make for some interesting dynamics in game.
:egypt:
Since I am busy right now, I won't take back the save today. Tomorrow the earliest. This should help the Summit conclude without too much happening IC. Aside from any threats to the island my main concern is that I don't want the Summit to be overtaken by the next Diet Session which isn't that far off. Of course if the two candidate dawdle too long, there's nothing I can do to help.
would be fun if one of them dies of old age while the summit is taking place :laugh4:
Anyone is free to do what they want to the Summit, just don't complain when TC give me a stack of my choosing and forces you to fight me in a PVP. :balloon2:
It's bound to be ugly and I get to take the moral high ground also.
It's likely to be a full court debacle. :beam:
:birthday2: Happy Birthday AG :birthday2:
Too bad your not really on a Nicosia celebrating! Though the traveller you are may be you are on an island. Enjoy the day; party on Garth! :guitarist:
Happy Birthday AG :beam:!
Ahh, but that would be a good death, and would maybe even get the war going. I'm all about finding a good death for V at this point.
:egypt:
@ Northnovas and YLC. Thanks for the best wishes guys.
Ramses, a good death, would be nice...but I'd appreciate it if you found that somewhere else.:balloon2:
Belated (but not for my timezone) happy birthday, AG!!! :medievalcheers:
Happy belated birthday AG!
Happy belated Birthday from me too! And also apologies for the longer than normal turn. I had quite a busy weekend. I will finish the turn this evening! :2thumbsup:
I am back online at my new place, though the place is still a serious mess and I have a ton of work to do. For most of this week, I expect to be online only sporadically from work. However, if something arises which I need to deal with, I can now access the game.
Also... Happy Birthday AG!
reading the terms proposed, where should I have Michail talk?
I could send him an invitation to the party...
More seriously though, you could always post in the Magnaura unless Michail has a death-wish, Apionnas seems more than willing to oblige...
I think the Terms the Basileus has proposed so far are nearly laughable. It's an insane power grab to me, one that Nikolaos would fight to the death to not get passed.
All IC of course, I find that so far Iggy's character has been a joy, and the most consistently avaricial and power hungry yet, better then Kalameteros :P
I think that the summit in Nicosia was there to find a solution to the Ioannis and Methodios' conflict. So I don't know how could Ioannis propose such terms to the Order and to Arianitis because their representatives are not even there! Nor were they invited!
It's the way bargaining works...
Start with an outrageous offer and make concessions so that the other party will feel he has gained the better half of the deal...
And I must admit that I'm having a blast playing counterpoint to Iggy's hungry avatar...
Feeding him a bit of his own KotR medicine, I fear...
I also have to say Nikolaos is kinda wondering why Tristan didn't call in more support for himself...
I tried but most people prefered to stay on the sideline or joined with Ioannis and wouldn't be moved...:shrug:
Plus that lessens the risk of betrayal...:whip:
Good to see you guy's finally posting at the Summit.
It seems to have everyone somewhat interested. :balloon2:
To all, thanks for the birthday wishes. :beam:
Okay, unless there is actually some reason why I cannot do so, I intend to land Vissa and his little army on the island of Nicosia and disrupt the Summit. I know that's OOC inconvenient, but in character I cannot imagine V doing anything else. The Summit is common knowledge, the location is far and away the best opportunity V will have to actually confront the Emperor, and IMHO the game needs a little spark to make this civil war business serious.
I'm announcing it here ahead of actually doing it to give whomever needs it all the time they need to figure out what the consequences of that action are beforehand. Don't tell me what they'll be, just figure 'em out and punch me when he hits the ground. :2thumbsup:
:egypt:
If you wish to fight 10,000 Varangian Guardsmen, they go right ahead.
