So, if we all agree that the LotR universe is inside a black hole, then we can all swear to eachother in 6 person circles?

Wouldn't it be six, six person circles?

[Privateerkev]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Basileus got us into a comet field, so we'd just have to steer towards that empty region of space over there, near that blackish holish thing.

That is a good point. It would be like Ig to try such a thing.

His family crest should read, "Today Scotland, Tomorrow the Universe!"

Wouldn't it be six, six person circles?

No, there are only 30 of us. And the Emperor can't swear to anyone. So it would be 4 6 person circles and 1 5 person circle. ^_^

[ULC]

...No, there are only 30 of us. And the Emperor can't swear to anyone. So it would be 4 6 person circles and 1 5 person circle. ^_^

No, I think it would be 4 circles of six circles of six. Since each person is the beginning and end of the feudal chain, then each person counts as a starting point, and therefore there are six circles within a six circle feudal chain.

And I am suddenly glad we don't have 37 players...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Scratches his head ...

This is confusing

[Ramses II CP]

For the sake of clarity, Iconium was exterminated, not sacked, correct?

[TheFlax]

Yup, it was exterminated.

[Northnovas]

Im back. Meaning my internet problems involving accessing Org from home are over. Now i just have to think of bloody good IC reasons for my character being paralyzed all this time.

Not back yet though internet access wasn't the issue it was the game itself.

I now have the same issue IC on the quietness of the character. There has been IC pm and I have been following along for the past 2 weeks but I just couldn't get into a story to contribute with the character or a debate. Now I will have to wait till the weekend is over before I can see a save game and do something with the character.

After all work it's play time but the summer weather here has been wet wet wet.
There is an old song saying " it doesn't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time" I sure hope so because that is where I will be hanging out at the "brickyard" this weekend.

Maybe Kage and I can do a joint story of consuming some homemade ouzo before the wedding and were temporarily blinded and paralyzed.

Save made available at Yesterday, 19:48

Ig took the save Today, 17:05

Can we please get 24 hours of open save time per rule 1.4? Cecil had something he had to do.

A 2 hour and 40 minute difference might not sound like much but some of us only have a few hour window to access the save every 24 hours.

[Ignoramus]

I'm really sorry about that. I must have misread when TC made the save available. But I'd hate to have to redo all my actions again. What should we do about this?

Also, does OK need to access the save after I'm finished, or can I end the turn?

Edit: The private armies are confusing when there are two in one settlement. I can't tell what's what.

I think OK made the crusader moves for this year. You might as well do Cecil's move before you're done (once they tell you what it was).

As far as two merged private armies go, as long as there are enough troops in the stack to meet the requirement of two private armies together (i.e. each unit type times two), then you haven't anything to worry about. You might want to merge depleted units to make the count easier. Of course, if you're talking about Iconium, there are three people there who are qualified for private armies, but we're not raising that issue quite yet.

[Zim]

I take it no one is waiting on an avatar? The one offered for adoption to Kosmas is actually pretty good statwise (actually close to what I'm hoping for my next character), but if nobody expects to need an avatar soon, the slot might be better used for a MOTH or child that would grow about the time everyone's avatars were getting older.

[Zim]

Just got a message from someone who wants the new avatar. Go ahead with the adoption, Ignoramus.

[Ituralde]

Just a short note that I'm joining all those vacation guys around here and will be out of town from tomorrow onwards. Something in the range of one or two weeks, our holiday planning is quite fluid at the moment. I'll probably have some internet access in-between. See you then!

[Rowan]

Bah, I just returned back to work after 2 weeks and 2 days of summer holiday

[_Tristan_]

Think it is time to notify all of you that I'll be away from the 1st of August until the 23rd../

I should have some limited Internet access and possible access to the game but there is nothing definite at this point...

It's cool. It was just something I wanted to be kept in mind for next time.

I really need 24 hour windows. For 4 days a week, I sleep for 8 hours, get ready for 1, then work for 10. That gives me 5 hours to get to the save and play it. If the save is not available in that window, I'll have to go to bed late or run home for lunch.

And I know I already played the save once last turn but I forgot to do something for someone. Before the Crusades, I was making moves for 7 people. So I tend to go in and out of the save depending on when people get back to me.

Cecil's move this turn was by no means critical but if it was something like assaulting a settlement then I'd be a little miffed.

So, the point is, please give me 24 hours.

[Andres]

Meh, last night I wanted to take the save and EF had it.

No problem, I thought, I'll continue my current vanilla M2TW campaign and pick up the save later.

About an hour or so later, I want to grab the save and Kage has it.

So, I leave the PC and watch some tele with the wife. Before going to sleep, I log on again, to find out that FlyDude had the save

It was a most frustrating experience

I gave myself 30 minutes before going to bed. Luckily, FlyDude posted the new save rather quickly... But if he would have fought a battle, I wouldn't have been able to move my character, allthough I was logged on within the 24 hours time frame.

Anyway, if more players will become active, maybe it'll be best to make the turn a bit longer and the save available for more than 24 hours? I mean, if we would have 30 active players that would take the save each turn, it'll be quite a struggle to be able to have the save in the 24 hours that it's available.

You can ask the Megas for an extension. He has to meet a 24 hour minimum but he can make the time longer if there is enough demand for the save.

Another thing you can do is PM the Megas and ask him IC, or OOC if his character hates your character, to make your moves for you. Even if you have your SOT set to limit him from moving your avatar, sending him a PM with a specific move request is the same as giving him specific permission to move your avatar in a specific way. He won't be able to interrpret that creatively or anything.

That might help the traffic jam situation that will undoubtably develop.

[Kagemusha]

Can someone check the Pevergreens save and confirm its not corrupted? to me it looks like thats the case.EDIT: Third times the charm. Now got an uncorrupted one.

[OverKnight]

Just as a reminder:

The game is now open for play, with the following provisions:

. . .

None of these avatars may be moved by anyone. When all other turns are completed, I (or, more properly, my proxy OverKnight) will take the save and make the necessary changes for the Crusade. Once that is completed, the game can advance. The game may never move onto the next turn until I have made the necessary changes. As I mentioned before, my temporary absense from home complicates this process a bit, and turns will probably be a bit slower until this coming Sunday. I apologize for this once again.

I added the emphasis on not advancing the turn until the Crusade changes were made. They haven't been for this turn, as I'm waiting to hear from TC, so Ignoramus shouldn't move past 1111 until they are.

This should give people plenty of time to move.

[Kagemusha]

Remember guys. This is all IC. Kantakouzinos is back after everything in his plans has gone other way then he wanted. He is not exactly a pleasant fellow to have a round.

I'm having a great time!

Anything said in the Magnuara is strictly IC.

OOC, I exterminate in my SP games all the time for either RP reasons or purely real-politick reasons.

But Mak just gained 3 chiv and got up to 5 chiv. He can't just sit there quietly.

I'm happy we finally have a chance to get some real IC public debate going. Let the games begin and keep in mind that OOC it's all

I think you are not the only one

[_Tristan_]

I maybe the biggest sacker in the hiostory of the game... I just can't resist the appeal of the florin but IC Iwon't stand for a single loss of life...

IC, guys, IC...

Real fun... Just the spark we needed... The tinder was ready...

[Dafuge]

I'm loving this, first proper argument I've seen. Can I just ask OOC why you did it?

[Privateerkev]

Are you asking why EF exterminated Iconium or why we are condemning it?

As for the former, it seems like something his character would do.

As for the latter, it seemed like something my character would do.

[Kagemusha]

For my part, i just want to stir up the game. More strife, more interesting game. I could not effectively play for weeks, but now that i can, i wont stay idle.

[Ferret]

I'm happy we finally have a chance to get some real IC public debate going.

That is exactly what I intended, and Hypatios is an evil so and so which made the decision easy

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I'm loving this too

I really would like to know why EF did it..
