is so, put me down on it.

Econ21 will pick who gets the starting family members. And then we will just recruit enough generals in the first couple of turns for everyone to have one.

How did the CTD occur, AussieGiant?

If SS has stability problems my vote for both could change (curse those ugly vanilla ERE skins!

).

There are a couple little bugs in the AI phase of an event trying to occur that can't. I came across one in my AAR I eventually gotten past it but it was a little annoying so I could only imagine the implications of a PBM and have to erase the last 5-10 turns to get past the bug and CTD to move to the next turn.

econ21 hasn't logged onto the forums since the end of March. If he isn't around by the time we're ready to start the game, I will assign the starting avatars and lands. They will be assigned with the same method they were in KOTR: by number of votes that the person participated in the previous game. The more active you were in KOTR, the higher you will be on the list. Top person gets to pick whichever avatar they want, or defer for a recruitable. After the top person has picked or deferred, we move down the line until all starting avatars are assigned. After that, we keep moving down the list as recruitables become available.

Bum. I'm screwed, I was only active for the first part of KOTOR.

Voted no for SS 4.1, would prefer vanilla mod...I might go play it now.

**TinCow** · 05-09-2008, 23:48

I expect everyone to have an avatar by the end of the first Chancellorship, even people who didn't play in KOTR at all. This will not be a repeat of the first few months of KOTR.

Doh! I participated in every vote I was aware of, but I'll be handicapped since I joined in the latter half of the game. Ah well, I'm pretty used to recruitable generals.

**Ramses II CP** · 05-10-2008, 01:07

I had a family member in the first game so I will defer to a recruitable in the second no matter what my place in the order of things.

Bwa-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

15!

Bwa-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh. . .um. . .yes.

After the test game, I'm not even sure I want a high rank.

New rules + mod I haven't played before + a huge amount of landless avatars clamoring for action + undeveloped cities and small armies = Ulcer

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the game, but I do envision some growing pains.

Also TC's (and it seems Ramses's) noblesse oblige intent of taking a recruitable general would cast my claim to the Basileus as somewhat shallow.

**Zim** · 05-10-2008, 01:27

I think I'm missing something. Is fifteen the number of elections you participated in?

I gave up the chance to have a FM right when I joined the last game because somebody had been grooming him as a replacement avatar. Given a choice I wouldn't mind starting with one this game, but I won't be unhappy if I get a recruitable general, either.

Well, someone has to do it, and we could do far worse than having a veteran like you take the FL and use the auto-Chancellorship power on the first term. Plus, starting FLs tend to be a bit on in the age stat, so they're not around forever.
