King of the Romans OOC thread IX

*shudders*

Ummm. . .I looked at the available avatars listed in the first page of the Chancellor's report and then checked out the save.

First Harold von Dassel is dead of natural causes, so he should be taken off the list. This gives the Swabian only one free avatar, Jens Hummel, but reinforcements are on the way.

Second, Karl Zirn just had a son born, Johann age zero! The Austrians are hanging on by a thread. :dancing:

Third, since the Franconians, among others, will soon need two replacement avatars, the only spare avatar I can recommend icing is Jens von Kassel. He's 50 anyway, he's already produced a son, and it's confusing having a von Kassel and another Jens as a Franconian.

Edit: Otto married well too ya know. Matt and Elsebeth was just a mentor relationship with benefits.

You shoud make that your campaign slogan!

Also, has Lothar noticed yet that his bride-to-be is !@#$%ing someone else?

:laugh4:

Does anyone know someone associated with the design/programming of IE? If so can I have thier address so that I can go and kill them, I just lost a HUGE pm when IE decided that it wanted to crash on me :furious3: :furious3:

and I know that it might be premature, but have we decided on an end point? I mean are we sticking to 45 territories? or re-unite the Roman empire? Conquor the new world?

The way things are going, we've not need to worry about endings. I believe that the first WOTS game ended prematurely because it was so successful, there were no more challenges. We do not seem to have that problem :juggle2:

TC, so that hungarian princess that runs off with your avatar didn't translate into a wife for him?

I tell you something. I'm going to make my marriage a matter of legislation.

The houses are important and I really don't think anyone realises the impact of losing a house in the whole scheme of things. At the moment Arnold is 26 and it's time for him to get married considering a whole blood line would be whipped out. This would really dilute the Austrian house if the rest of the characters were adoptions and OOC work arounds.

The balance will go out the window for one thing.

Arnold's coming back to the Diet so get ready :balloon2:

It was impossible to tell if she ran off with either Lothar or Markus, but McIwoo never commented on it, so I embraced (:laugh4:) the story. Regardless, neither Lothar nor Markus got married or got any traits as a result.

I'm gagging for a wife.

I'd shove my todger in a blender if it would get me one :laugh4:

You probably shouldn't. I get the feeling that Duke Arnold would make his toddler his wife. :laugh4:

*edit*

I just realized that he might have meant something else with the word "todger"... o_O

Feel free to take which ever meaning is best for your answer PK :2thumbsup:

By the way Econ. Excellent battle report. You're really getting good at it.

Oh neither is very good... :inquisitive:

:laugh4:

*edit*

That was to AG's post about todgers, not the one about Econ...

Do not be hasty in rejecting this saying that only us Swabians have opposed Salier, but rather let a discussion procede and let the whole chain of events discussed clearly. Should we find it satisfactory, us Swabians shall recognize the legitamacy of the claim, but merely destroying any attempt for this and this issue may have to resolved with drastic actions.

I didn't know King Salier was Kaiser! :laugh4:

Sorry. Must be getting the names wrong..

Yeah, thats why I just made a joke OOC and ignored it IC.

Hey PK, I love this bickering, just wanted to keep things cordual OOC.

Aye, Jan really seems to be making enemies, not the best thing to do ... but fun none the less

It's a shame he's such a holy roller, he and Lothar could have been good friends.

I haven't seen his latest stats but his not that much of a pious "idiot" (~D ) isn't he. Only 5 the last time I saw it.

Oh its all good OOC guys. I was wondering though if we might want to give eachother an "out" IC so we all don't completely politically destroy our characters. Just a thought. Jan is finally starting to feel the heat from all the pressure others are placing on everyone he knows.

*edit*

And 5 is pretty pious. And did you ever consider that if someone is acting more pious than his traits dictate, then he might....be lying? *sneaky look*

The little "Nut job" is above average but nothing crazy. :2thumbsup:

Arnold's going to rip him a new set of gonads soon.

I've got no idea how I can do this though.:wall:

I mean, my character given his traits just can't put up with all this...

but I really can't do anything:dizzy2: It's pretty funny right now.lol:beam:

I've updated the play list in the first post of the Chancellors reports thread. Please check your character's details are correct.

While we are at it, people should start posting build queues and Household Army orders.

EDIT: It would be a good idea to list the Household Army commanders. This is what I have so far:

Kaiser's Army - Kaiser Siegfried
Army of Outremer - King Salier
Swabian Household Army - Duke Scherer
Franconian Household Army - Steward Ansehelm
Austrian Household Army - Count Sigismund
Bavarian Household Army - Count Lothar

I've premised this on Duke Gunther and Duke Arnold being unable to fight battles now/soon. Ansehelm should find a replacement when/if he sets off to Moscow.

Also: who are the heirs of Swabia and Austria?

Alright AG, your not answering my PM so I'll put this on here. We agreed a couple days ago OOC that we could snipe in the Diet IC. Then you went and had Arnold basically twist Ansehelm's arm so hard that your giving Jan almost know room to breath. I agree we are RP'ing feudalism but you and I had a deal OOC. You've also helped stoke the IC frusterations against my character to the point where he is on the verge of being useless to me.

Basically, for my character to be viable, I need an out. And this isn't all my fault because you went out of your way to put Jan in hot water.

Please help,
Kevin

I can already tell you it's not entirely correct.
Ansehelm should have 4 influence (Steward, total of 15 points, more than 6 on 1 stat).
Same for Peter I believe, I think he has more influence than that.


PK, Arnold did not do anything to twist Ansehelms thoughts, they are on a same line concerning prisoners

Surely your 'out' is simply to suck it up and apologize to your Steward. You have plenty of power if you can get Franconia behind you.

Alright AG's PM box is full so here is my reply to him:

No we are not ok. I started off just doing what we agreed OOC that we could do. And I know you can't control how others react IC but you had Arnold go out of his way to put the pressure on Jan. Now I need to take the credibility hit? This whole thing was fun at first but now it kind of sucks. In a flurry of posts, my character is on the cutting edge of being useless.

Also, I posted something OOC because I had not seen this PM yet.

I am not going to give a House a +2 for a Duke AND a +2 for a Steward (otherwise they will all start creating Stewards). It's an either/or. Stewards were originally for Houses which lacked bona fide Dukes. I am happy for Ansehelm to have the Steward title for RP reasons, but not the extra influence.

Seems ok to me: +1 for Count?

Yes, PK do bear in mind we have to characters with the moniker "the Merciless".

Change the rules in that case:

Crusader counts get +1 for being a Crusader and +1 for being a count, isn't that too much either?

Doesn't he have some high stats? Hell I fought a battle with him in command and he had atleast 9 command.

I've cleared my PM box PK.

You can reply there.

The pressure your feeling has a lot to do with people coming to their own conclusions. You've been in a tight barrel roll for the past few hours.

The pressure your feeling is not from me in most cases as far as I know. It's hard to tell.

I've written an "out" in the Diet, take it if you would like.

Yes I will be handing over the AHA to Sigismund.

Orders will follow for Arnold Ducal responsibilities.
