I think you are all indulging in empty posturing, I hope. Also, the taller the mountain, the slower it crumbles.
Yeah, but since when has Highgarden been fighting Stannis?
Gah XDQuote:

i.e. ever since you were effectively neutralized as a threat. :smug:Quote:

Oh, good to know.
A sewered head? What a stinking liar.Quote:

I had to go through all my game related pms and delete those that weren't order related to make it manageable, but I think I deleted order pms mistakenly.
Okay, it's not the end of the world, but I'm going to have to have the orders redone, and from now on I'm going to need a particular format. Faction orders should be made in the QT, there is no need to pm them, if you think you have a traitor you'll need to drum them out and we'll make a new QT. Faction orders should be titled as such: Faction orders for turn X, Final. It is okay to edit them up to the end of the phase, just make a post at the top of the thread which post number it is. Order pms for individuals should be titled as such: Westeros Phase X: Individual orders for CHAR NAME.
This is my fault as I had the same issues last time, but managed to muddle through. It took a lot more time than it should have, and I should have realised it would be worse this time and been more precise with the orders instructions, you live and learn.
QT orders are generally fine, there is no need to change any of those, the conflicts came when I had faction orders sent by pm and in QT. If you are happy with what you have they'll be fine, if you sent orders by pm, you'll need them added to the QT. I'll need all the individual orders resent unfortunately (you should be able to hit Sent Items and forward it from there, with a nice, new title), even those that were titled relevantly. Yes, in a fit of sore headed pique I deleted all the pms left in my inbox, I'm such a big child.
I hope this won't take too long, I'll get the game moving again as quickly as possible.
edit: Like I said, this is my fault for trying to make it simpler for you guys and not realising how awkward I'd make it for myself. If this sounds like I'm having a go at you or your faction, believe me, I'm not. Hopefully once we get this phase over it will begin to run more smoothly when we (I) get in to a routine and pattern. I did say we would be better starting in the New Year.... :wink:
It was good to have two weeks of trial to get everything set :PQuote:

For the PMs, you deleted them all, for example do we have to re-send old "noted" ones (related to this phase) and like messages to NPCs? Or it was every single PM?
Do you want me to gather all the lannister orders together into one PM?

Gah, you should have punished them severely. :smash:
I have, the Dothraki have suddenly decided that the poison water is a very nice way to travel, and are currently seeking passage westward. :wink:Quote:

Do it faster than 24 though, apparently only the people who messed up their orders are the only ones we are all waiting on! :smash: Yes, I hold -you- responsible! (whoever you are)
What do I do if you deleted the PM's of a PC who isnt here?
IE: Greyblades has a traitor in another faction working for him!
Uh huh, yeah sure, say hi to cressen for me.
Say Hi to Jamie for me.
Now come on, you can do better than that, cressen's likely to turn on you if we say melissandre's controlling you and if we kill her "you'll go back to normal". Jamie's just... Huh.
I think the response I'm looking for here is "come at me, bro". :laugh4:Quote:

I've got nearly everything back, should be later this evening. I'll try not to make it too late so little old Mace isn't sitting up all night. :wink:
Consideration towards Tyrrel´s!!? I smell some evil plot in such behavior!:stunned:Quote:

Okay, starting going through orders again now. Going to regret this, but Newcastle V Man Utd is on in four hours (as a Sunderland fan and ABU, can't both teams lose?) and I'm hoping to have everything done by then. Hoping.
I am glad the offenders have fixed the orders!
It was Greyblades, wasn't it! *threatens with :smash: teasefully*
Eh, with the extra 2 days I came up with a bunch of extra orders, (dont let joffrey get her hands on Arya if we find her, etc) But they didn't all come at once so I ended up sending a bunch of addition PM's to JHT. Sorry John but I wanted to avoid the cluster**** that happened last turn.
Like I said, I was the offender, Naughty Beskie. Is teasefully even a word, what kind of moderators are they hiring in the Backroom?Quote:

Who needs enemies with neighbor´s like this?~:( I humbly apologize, if the clouds of smoke from the torched coastal villages of mine abstract the scenery. If it is the noises that are disturbing you? Please file a complaint to the Ironborn that raiding should be limited to office hours.:shrug:Quote:

The real point to me is: isn't this prohibited knowledge? And most of all since it is, who is going to get killed by his own dragon? ^^
It doesnt matter, if its in westeros I'm going to squash it before it gets bigger than a lizard.
There's the reason you should all have realised I was winding you up. Silly people. :tongue:Quote:

Dragonborne.
YEAAAA-
Okay, slight issue. Some people appear to believe a man and a horse take up the same space on board a ship as one man. A cavalry unit takes 3 spaces of the comfortable capacity, which I think is more than generous.
Isnt this just a plain mistake, which should be handled accordingly?
Yes, and it will be, this is just a warning.Quote:

Will be changed in the next update. When wars start breaking out next time, it will be changed to "Zones of Control"Quote:

It's fine for this phase, but for next phase only orders in the orders post and private individual order pms will be accepted. I'm going to have to be strict on this in future for my own sanity.
Looks like Kings landing will need airing out next turn.Quote:

Is there anyone in KL that is actually working for me?
You do realize that KL is *not* the seat of your house, it's just controlled territory because of claiming to be king?Quote:

IC: Just because he's half baratheon doesn't mean he isnt also half lannister.
Thanks for the warning, Muahahaha etc.Quote:

Oh you dont know of it? Lannisterport is a fishing village 6 leeks away from Lannisport. When House Lannister took control of Casterly Rock. LannisterPort was to be made of the center of Naval trade and main harbor of Lannisters. Unfortunately as cheap scrooge´s the Lannisters are,Lannisport was chosen over Lannisterport as it has less Characters.So ink was saved in huge amounts.Quote:

6 leeks away? Must be pretty crowded up Lannisport/LannisterPort way. :yes:Quote:

Over the length of leek´s? No. i think i just have to hire for the family a new maester, with more in depth knowledge of leek´s. Would you care to lend me some for such noble cause?Quote:

Update. Still working through the orders, there is one particular area which is very complex, and I don't want to miss anything, so I'm triple checking it.
Oh, yes. It would help me get through more quickly if specific numbers were used at all times, things like, the remaining xxxx, everybody else and the like make going through the orders twice as difficult.
