That you do

[Privateerkev]

That you do

call it a gift.

[Ferret]

I liked the idea of exiling him on one of the Greek Islands with a watch tower on.

Way to find a fun punishment for me

I prefer Cecil's idea though, I plead to OK to allow me to fly to Norway

edit: and PK, where would your gift be without me eh?

[_Tristan_]

Anyway... So much for the spin... Seeing Mak back down from one raised eyebrow of Apionnas... Not the PK I'm used to...

You've grown soft...

[Privateerkev]

Oh I give you full credit for starting this circus.

I can tell a lot of us have just been itching to go at each other and you finally gave us the excuse we needed.

Stop trying to provoke me OOC.

It's an art. If you spin on high speed all the time, it starts to lose impact. I learned that the hard way with Jan. The trick is to make each "hit" matter. So you ratchet up the drama, reach a high point, then back down a little. Later, ratchet it back up again. Repeat as needed for fun.

*edit*
Plus, this is the first time most of the characters have really argued with each other. I see it as representing the "jabs" and "ducks" of politics. We're all testing each other IC to see how far we can go and what gets a rise out of each other.

[_Tristan_]

It is the most fun part since the beginning of LotR, if you ask me... The throat-gripping part...

Can't chide me for trying to put some more oil on the fire...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I've re-read the rules but I haven't been able to find a single indication of what exactly can be done during Emergency Senate session nor what is needed to call one ?

You need TC to call emergency senate session

What can be done there .. well .. that I do not know

[Privateerkev]

I can chide you for doing it OOC.

I'm one of those people that want to see drama come about organically in the game, not because of OOC locker room style peer pressure.

In KotR, I always got miffed when I'd see people try to goad each other in the OOC thread to attack my character in the Diet.

[_Tristan_]

It seems OK as Basileos could call one...

Roger that, sir.

Was worth a try, though...

*pushes PK up against a locker*

Pour oil on the fire now!

EF, always the masochist...

EDIT : Or is it the sadist ?.. What, with the whip...

[Privateerkev]

OK can call one as Tristan mentioned. Also, in a couple turns, deguerra can call one. If one is called, the game will freeze for a time determined by TC. People will have the oppurtunity to pass edicts, CA's, and impeach the Megas. Those things will then be voted on. Then we go about playing the game until the next real session or until another emergency session is called.

Roger that, sir.

Was worth a try, though...

I'm sure there will be enough drama to go around.

What are we, in junior high?

Haven't you done enough to stir up the game?

[Ferret]

Ewww, I never said I got pleasure out of beating PK up

[Privateerkev]

Ewww, I never said I got pleasure out of beating PK up

Alright, I am nipping the innuendo in the bud right now before this goes any further.

At least ATPG isn't around...

[_Tristan_]

My bad...



But perhaps you get your kicks getting beat up by PK...

[Ferret]

He never seems to be around these days

[Privateerkev]

stop the innuendo...

<-- to take the edge off...

[Ramses II CP]

On a lighter, WOOP 10 Loyalty lol, does this mean I am loyal to the Order or the Emperor as it will be interesting if Civil war break out.

IMHO the loyalty traits display how loyal you are, not how loyal you are to something. So if you've sworn to the Emperor and the Order it would be very hard for you to break that oath, unless you were loyal to something else (i.e. Fritz in KotR being loyal to the Illuminati) over the top of that.

Vissa, for a counter example, is not loyal at all and may actually rebel at the drop of a hat. I hadn't even noticed, since he was piling up absurd traits from the supply system anyway. As long as the game doesn't decide to rebel him it'll make for a fun ride.

[_Tristan_]

Same with Methodios, his loyalty level fluctuates between 2 and 4 so I do not thinkof him as tied up by any agreement he makes though he will always try to act honorably (due to his high chiv...)

And that is not speaking of his bottom level piety... I'm happy there are no Byzantine inquisitors or Methodios would already be at the stake...

[ULC]

Wow, I fall asleep for 8 hours and now I'm totally lost

Tristan, why not ask to have the pagan magician removed?

[_Tristan_]

Because it fits my character.... Snorri (the magician) is an integral part of my character...

EDIT : Could the "Disobeys his liege" and "Title stolen !" be removed from Methodios ? that pushes his loyalty a bit too low to my taste...

[TinCow]

Therefore, the only person who can take units out of Sinop is the Megas and Ituralde. And due to Ituralde's SOT, the Megas would have to leave the units listed but he can take out any others until Ituralde says different. The only legal way 00jebus could have taken those men out is if Ituralde gave him permission.

This is correct.

I've re-read the rules but I haven't been able to find a single indication of what exactly can be done during Emergency Senate session nor what is needed to call one ?

Various ranks have the ability to call an Emergency Session. At a minimum, the Basileus can always do it. If you do not have a rank that allows you to call one, you need to convince someone else who can to do so.

Everything that can be done during a normal Senate session can be done during an Emergency Senate session. The only real exception is elections for Megas which cannot occur during an Emergency session unless the serving Megas is impeached first.

EDIT : Could the "Disobeys his liege" and "Title stolen !" be removed from Methodios ? that pushes his loyalty a bit too low to my taste...

Yes to the Title Stolen! trait, since that was the result of me removing the Zagreb ancillary from you. I'm not sure about 'Disobeys his liege,' though. If that isn't part of the Unwatched by the King line, you will have to live with it or get legislation passed that allows for it to be removed.

[_Tristan_]

Disobedient is not linked to the Unwatched by king (Far_Loyalty) but rather the Disobedient line of traits which relates only to Family Members.

I will live with it if I have to but I do not see how Methodios got that trait in game... Though joining the "Crusade" could explain it...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

When did TC promised to come back??

I just noticed that the Senate Library haven't been updated

[_Tristan_]

Damn this game...

Of all things my daughter had to be named Hypatia...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Isn't that a nice name ...

What happens if Hypatios will marry Hypatia??

A lot of Hypat-something called children??

[Privateerkev]

He tends to update the library each Senate session so we know what influence we all have.

Isn't that a nice name ...

If his son had 2 vassals, would we call him Hypatos Hypatiosa son of Hypatios?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

If his son had 2 vassals, would we call him Hypatos Hypatiosa son of Hypatios?

I hope we would not come to that point!!

It would be too confusing
