OOC Thread and Chatroom

Seemed ok, although a few like the loyalty or graciousness ones might be questioned. I guess theyre fine, but not really "learning" related.

[Ituralde]

I like the selection, except for the Loyalty, Disloyalty ones and also the Kind and Firm Ruler traits along with the Hale and Hearty line. Those things don't seem to be learnable at some University. At least that's where I would see problems with the IC ties we created. If it would be for some general advancement scheme I would be fine with it.

Hehe. general gdvancement! Or should it be general general advancement, or general character advancement, or just character advancement. I went with general advancement because that way nobody knows what I tried to say! Sometimes English's really fun!

stupid language...

The Loyalty and HaleandHearty lines were included mainly for OOC reasons. Loyalty to help bring a character more in line with how a person want's to RP their character (along with my current policy of deleting 'Unwatched by the King'). HaleandHearty was to counteract people who experience severe health problems with the SS supply system. That said, I'm happy deleting them from the list if that's what people want. The reasons for including them are not really that strong.

The chivalry and dread ruler and justice traits are IC IMO. Shouldn't a person be able to learn how to rule their people?

I have another trait complaint:



-6 command is ridiculously extreme, and as for being overconfident, all I did was encamp in my own province for 6 years. I would have thought a cowardice trait was more appropriate given the circumstances.

Also, I'd like to make a small request that I be allowed to play Ioannis' son when the current Ioannis dies. I know we already agreed that players couldn't reserve avatars, but they could make requests of which ones they would especially like to play.

It is ridiculous, so I just looked it up. This is the trait:

Trait Ovcon
Characters family
AntiTraits Con

Level Overconfident
Description Overconfident_desc
EffectsDescription Overconfident_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Effect Command -1

Level Blatantly_Overconfident
Description Blatantly_Overconfident_desc
EffectsDescription Blatantly_Overconfident_effects_desc
Threshold 2

Effect Command -2

The text description is wrong. It says -6, but the actual effect is only -2. I will include this as a fix whenever I do another LotRmod.

[Cecil XIX]

When you're doing another LOTR Mod, could you make 'Bad Logistician' an antitrait of 'Logistical_Skill'? I've know idea why it isn't already.

I actually found it funny because I see the character as being very "overconfident". I do agree -6 is far too high a price to pay for the trait. I'm glad it is only -2.

Also, I'd like to make a small request that I be allowed to play Ioannis' son when the current Ioannis dies. I know we already agreed that players couldn't reserve avatars, but they could make requests of which ones they would especially like to play.

You should probably keep in mind that Ioannis will only be 33 at this next session. So, when his son comes of age, Ioannis won't even be 50. He might live into his 60's. You'd basically be holding a spare avatar for 2 or 3 whole terms. Though if no one joins the game, or needs a new avatar, then this obviously wouldn't be a problem. Just letting you know that Ioannis will probably live for quite a long time after the son comes of age.

[deguerra]

It does also give you a likely two Basileos' in a row. I have no real problem with that, others might. If you find a good IC roleplayer for your son, you might be able to mold him to your liking IC without having to play him. But I have nothing against your reservation, but agree with PK.

Aleksios got the same trait after a battle in which he outnumbered the enemy and dispatched them easily. It will reduce and then go away after a few turns.

[Ramses II CP]

By way of an FYI I am unconcerned about Vissa's collection of traits. If any of them seem especially odd under the circumstances I'm sure we can remove 'em, but it'll be a long time before he's a combat character and all the real fighting is done by body guards or under captains anyway, so it frankly doesn't matter.

Thanks for the comment Flax. I was a bit worried because just describing a foul mouth doesn't really cut it, you have to leave people with some impression of just how foul.
