@Andres: isn't Anastasion (lemon) in Belgrade? Kosmas is safely holed up in Athens ATM.

My guess was that the mistake was intentional. Since you have now spoiled Andres's uber-plot, you will be subject to years of harrassment. It will probably have to do with mafia-game spam.

I fear for you...

Let's blame it on the chaos caused by the sudden appearance of barbaric hordes at our borders, shall we (--> see, you don't always need that damnable clown smiley! And there are even more options: )

Just want to know something ..
What dose those IC and OOC actually mean??

IC- in character??
OOC - out of character??

Am I right?

You are right

Btw... let me tell you something that clown smiley is not at all necessary, you know. I have it on good sources that those who do not use it, will get more provinces IC then others. But Let's keep that our little secret. Don't tell it to PK and EF

If so then from this moment til the end of the game I will not use it ..

Ibn-Khaldun is a true master of life. He has shunned the ways of the dark and evil camel lord Andres and embraced the path of clownish enlightenment.

I salute you

I can already tell he will fit in well around here.

We will have to shorten the name though. It's tradition. Plus I'm lazy and don't feel like typing the whole thing out.

He is hereafter known as IK.

Yes.

If I speak to you IC, I speak to you as Makedonios, a Grandmaster of a Knightly Order of warrior-monks in 11th century Byzantium.

If I speak to you OOC, it is as Kevin, the friendly lovable huggable member of the throneroom.



The mixing of IC and OOC is generally frowned upon. While there are no real rules on it, and such rules would be pretty much impossible to define and uphold, there are a few general guidelines most of us follow.

1.) make clear which one your speaking in. Stuff in here is OOC unless said otherwise. Stuff in the game threads tend to be assumed to be IC unless said otherwise.

2.) make clear that conflict is only IC. If you scream your lungs out at another character IC, it is nice to send them a friendly OOC PM and let them know it's nothing personal.

3.) do not use information IC that you learned OOC. If you read a story in the story thread about a conversation between Makedonios and Anna, there is probably no way your character would know this. So you probably shouldn't mention it IC or let it color your IC interactions.

4.) don't take it personal. Your character will get in trouble. It's politics and politics is a rough and tumble world. But do remember that people are having a problem with your character, not you as a person.

*edit*

5.) Andres reminded me of this one. Be sure to use the clown smiley in all OOC posts. This lets us know your kidding and in a good mood. If you don't use this smiley, people will think your cranky like Andres.

I can speak from personal experience, he is both friendly and huggable. But love... alas, poor Monomachos has his heart set on one special girl.

You know, that certain special someone who has thusfar interacted with everyone in the bleedin' Roman empire except Efstratios. I understand there was even some nudity and unadulterated violence involved. Some Senators get all the fun.

And where oh, where has my little Tarasios gone? I was so looking forward to showing him everything I know about romance...

With a woman, of course.

Meanwhile I'm engaged in the ruthlessly diabolical connundrum as to what particular kind of wood to use when constructing a wooden palisade around the pile of dirt and twigs known as Durazzo. I was actually thinking about getting some of my fellow senators together, some ale, and some fine women, all getting drunk, and beginning our very own settlement here. It seems a rather nice place for a town. It just needs some additions like, I don't know...

people... huts... roads... mercantile enterprises... and of course, a few brothels for my fellow Senators to enjoy, and a pleasure palace for myself. If anyone sees me going into the pleasure palace with an entourage of slave girls and foreign fruitcakes, think nothing of it. I've been recently elected to the position of Grande Inspector of thy noble Houses of Ill-Repute and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Mercantile Purveyors of Filth Regulation Committee. I've been charged with the most sacred and solemn duty, which is to personally ensure that all of the tight and revealing outfits worn by our ravishing ladies (and ladies* with an asterisk) are worn skin-tight or not at all.

It is with great honour and humility that I begrudgingly accept this heavy burden and responsibility. This personal sacrifice for the good of the empire must never be forgotten.

*I must say, that is one tempting asterisk, but somebody has to do it.

I find it funny that PK has the trait "Unleashed Ambition", when Makedonius is trying desperately hard to make out that the Order is not ambitious.

It is only a coincidence that I have not asked TC to delete that trait. Only a coincidence. You got that? Just a coincidence. Do not read too much into that. At all. There is nothing that can be gained by looking at that trait.

And Makedonios still maintains that the Order is not ambitious. If you wish to dispute that, your more than welcome to send him yet another IC PM telling him what he can and can not do.

I can speak from personal experience, he is both friendly and huggable. But love... alas, poor Monomachos has his heart set on one special girl.

If you speak from personal experience, it is news to me.

I'm happy her and Mak finally had skin contact...

Took years to take it even that far...

The Lemongate is looking to make things real interesting at Belgrade with his absence during this 24 hour period...
