OOC Thread and Chatroom
This is the OOC Thread for Will of the Basileus. This thread is designed to be a simple chatroom for WotB players. No important information will ever be posted in here. This thread does not count as a "public thread" for the purposes of the WotB rules. No information posted in this thread will be considered as binding on the Chancellor or Basileus. In short, this thread has no official relationship to WotB in any capacity. It is simply a chatroom.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Can we spam here :clown:
question: is there a moderator here? IE a local mod? Otherwise I think you should ask for mod powers just in this forum, because even if TC joins he has enough on his plate as it is.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Both Ibn-Khaldun and I have mod powers.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Oooooo :bow:
Now you can delete all of my spam :clown:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Yes.. WH and I have mod powers.
And since this is a Chatroom then you can chat but not spam:beam:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
I think if 3/4 of those in the list will confirm their participation in this game then we can start it.
Others can always join us later.:yes:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Mmmm so how will we chose Avatars? First come first serve?
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Exactly.
Those who have confirmed that they are in will have the chance to pick first.
So the list of participants will be more important now.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
selection begins when? when WH finishes the installer and we are all set to go? I think we should get it done before hand so we don't diddilly daddle time away.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
WH will have it done later today and should post the link also. After that I will recruit the generals and post mugshots of them here(Signup thread). After that you can pick your character.

*looks around sneakily*.....dibs on any Galatians....

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
jebus don't worry.. there are no galatians here.. only gaesatae with lorica segmentata :clown:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
no galatians?! :jawdrop: what the hell did I sign up for then?!~D
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Celtic Punk, you can have whatever background youn like for your character. If there are no Galatians, then simply play your character as is, but have is father (who he never knew) be Galatian :wink:

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
There is a nice thing about the role-playing. You can ignore all traits that your avatar have in game and make up your new ones. Even if the trait say that he is 'Drunkard' you can roleplay him as the most sober person in the world or just happily ignore that trai. It is all up to you. :yes:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Or, if it bothers you to ignore them, just be creative about how you interpret your traits :bow:

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Please note that this forum is still part of the Throne Room, so the usual Throne Room rules apply. This is just a notice for future purposes, it is not meant to imply that there has been any misbehavior of any kind. Issues with the game itself should be taken up with the forum leaders Ibn-Khaldun and Warmaster Horus. However, if there are broader problems of an OOC nature between players or violations of general Org rules, please refer them to me.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
If IC tension between players get over to OOC then we have a problem and my only solution will be barring both people from this game for certain time. If this will not help then we will have a big problem. But I truly hope that things will not get that far and people understand that there are two different things in this game - OOC and IC. ~:)

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
are persian spear-bowmen missile or infantry?
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
They are missile troops since their primary weapon is bow if I'm not mistaken.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
they do get a bonus fighting cavalry if my memory serves me correctly. I should check the EDU
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
That's true but their main role is to use their bow and shoot down every enemy that they can see. So they are missile troops. Pretty powerful anti-cavalry missile troops.

-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Ok.. I have the starting save and all the avatars. I'll have to upload them and then I'll post their mugshots to the Signup Thread. It would take couple of hours to do that and then we can start choosing the avatars. ~:)

Oh, but I did, and my answer is correct, even though it's undoubtedly not the kind of answer you were looking for. They are missile or infantry; you'd have a hard time convincing me that they could be something else. ~;)

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
I say they're cavalry. And quit trying to escape from your blunder of being illiterate!~D
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Just to reassure everyone - including myself - the Royal Library will be updated to include images of the known world, the Arche, and the avatars.
I'm saying this because it looks quite empty right now. It'll look better by tonight.

Your lord Hax is here and ready to defend Persepolis (and may take some of the money of the treasury for himself, while he's at it.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
It is a pain to create all those screenshots :yes:
I know because I went through this when I took and edited those mugshots of mine. After 10th I thought that this will never end!

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
someone's gotta do it, and we're thankful it's you and not us! only kidding, But your work is greatly appreciated and enjoyed by me, and very most likely the other guys around here.

I assure you it was no blunder, but a (dry) joke. They literally are infantry or missile, because they're both combined. Think logic. ~:cool:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
WH.. you have made a little error.
In Royal Library, List of Chancellors. It should be 272-269 not 272-260 since the Chancellors term is 12 turs and not 12 years :beam: in EB we have 4 turns per year and not 1,5 year per turn like it is in LotR.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Indeed. Thanks for noticing!

This happens when we use the rules and other stuff from LotR. The thing is that TinCow wrote them so good and we have nothing to add.. and because of that we have these mistakes:shame:

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
I was wondering what bodyguard unit my character has? I like to use foot generals and was hoping he had a unit of Babylonian Spearmen. No biggie if he doesn't, just checking.

No foot generals I'm afraid. All cavalry. Those client rulers that were originally in the game have been removed and gov4 will not be built since this will create generals that no one will use(only one avatar per person)

I'll pm WH again and put a little pressure upon him. It would be good to see it's release later today I think.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
After you become member then you can change your post..
Since you are still a Junior Member then you can't unfortunately..
You can talk to some moderators who have the power to make you member though..
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
You know how you become a member?
How many more posts do you have to make?
I'll have to start posting some more semi-unnecessary posts out here like this one :laugh4:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
how do you become a member? lol i don't remember when i became a full member
EDIT: How do you become a SENIOR member?! 1000+ posts or soemthing? or does it have something to do with your join date?

How to become a senior member?
Read the .Org FAQ. It is all there. Even how you can become a just a 'Member'.
What you can do is saying hello and introduce yourself in Entrance Hall in a thread called Hail New Members! (Introduction) v.IV
This way some moderator might notice you :holmes:
Or you can just ask this in a polite manner. :yes:
EDIT: This is from the .Org FAQ
Quote:
Promotion to Member
Promotion to Member is based on participation, conduct and contributions in your posts. Quantity of posts doesn't matter - you could be promoted on the basis of one amazing post, although just showing the ability to interact with the membership in a helpful and polite manner is easily sufficient. In other words, you don't need to do something special, just enjoy yourself whilst following the Forum Rules above. Introducing yourself (if you have not already done so) in the HAIL New Members! (Introductions) III thread doesn't hurt either!
Promotions are handled manually by the Guild Staff, and are generally done en masse. So as a very quick rule of thumb: if you've been here for a couple of weeks and been posting reasonably regularly during that time, you should be promoted to Member.
In any case, the staff will always try to help you if they can. If you feel perhaps that you've been mistakenly overlooked (as does happen on occasion), your best bet is to either PM TosaInu or Ser Clegane and explain your situation.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
i just read the stuff on senior member... why the hell are you not a senior member Ibh-Khaldun?! by my standards you are.... someone's been over looked and is due for a promotion!

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
http://rapidshare.com/files/143355861/WotB_Mod.exe.html Just target the RTW folder (the one with the RTW exe).
There's the mod we'll be using! It's basically several mods united in one: the FD mod, the Phalanx mod, money scripts, win-conditions... Permission has been given for all of them.
Bear in mind it will change your installation of EB! A solution has been mentionned in the actually installer (with the release notes).
Also, with the test mod we had a small problem: users were launching the game with the trivial script. I changed the sp game edu backup, so it's the same as ours (which lets us recruit Bodyguards). Launch it any way you want, it should work fine!
Any problems, contact me.
Edit: that's one thing done. Now on to the pictures.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Just a quick question about this mod. Are all of the permanent fixes included in this? Do I need to install them? (I made a copy of my clean RTW, and installed EB over that, but I did not install any fixes, since I didn't know what order such things needed to be installed in in relation to the mod.)
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Well, it can't hurt to install the fixes before this mod anyway, just in case.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Ah, all fixes are included :yes:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
how come it says in the picture of my Avatar that he has the "family member" trait but in the royal library it says I'm a RBG
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
That's a problem with EB actually. I think it's supposed to be a hidden trait or something...

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
oooh snap so their goes my plan to have a big family with like 20 kids... sheeeeeeeet

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
WH.. just a reminder.. all Pergamou Mysiakes are family members and in family tree.. so you have to change that in the Royal Library. This means that Attalos Pergamou Mysiakes aka Rodrico Stak is part of the family.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Right-o. Wasn't sure of it, and I was about to check the save for that... Thanks!

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Lol.. there is actually only one of them at the moment :beam:
For some reason I thought that there is more than one with that name. :inquisitive:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Nice to see a few stories up, hopefully there will be some mileage in this. Anyway, I was curious as to how everyone plans on playing their character, personally I think EB has a great system of traits which can give a character real personality and I plan to base my avatar around them, and also to bring into play any ancillaries gained. Anybody else going in that direction?

In general I think I will, but I will probably ignore a few that go entirely contrary to my perception of the character.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Well, I certainly am, and I think we all should. It doesn't make much sense, for example, for a languorous coward to rush around all over the battlefield before charging carelessly ahead into the fray. We should all play our characters like they are, not like we are. That's my humble cents, anyway.

There are ways around things like that, for instance my character who is a pretty useless general (dull, languorous, terrible tactician) has a veteran officer ancillary. So I will roleplay that my character "has a headache" on the day of any battles and his faithful officer leads the army.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
I will do as Rodrico Stak, I'll add a few traits if they don't appear

That's a little bit cheating, IMO. Okay if it happens, but in every battle? Come on. That's not roleplaying, it's just avoiding a flaw you don't want to deal with.

No one except me and WH can not use the console no matter what. If this is discovered then those people are barred from the game and perhaps any similar games I plan to make in the future. People can cheat in singleplayer campaign as much as you want(I do it quite often have to say) but not in here.

Yes it is and some very good ones too. :yes:
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
0.0 That wasn't what I meant... I'm not going to mess with the console lol
How can I explain it... I'll make up new "traits", cause I don't want my roleplay to follow the in game traits 100%. I'll add new imaginery ones lol.
Yes I also cheat on singleplayer.
Also the cheating penalizations should be made clear, it's quite an important issue.
-
Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
Sry.. I should have looked why you said something like that..:shame:
But just like I said.. If we catch someone cheating then there is only one thing we can do.. He will be thrown out of the game..
EDIT: I will open the Royal Council 2-3 hours from now. So get ready ~:)

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom
I have spoken twice in the Royal Council thread, as two different magistrates.
I'd like to point out that as I am more a gamesmaster than player, that my interventions in the Council are for the more legal/bureaucratic side of things. The other officials of the Arche, in other words.
If it bothers people that I do that, I'll stop doing it and just manage the game from a more OOC perspective. I, personally, think it helps.
