Megas Logothetes' and Senators' Reports

[TinCow]

This thread is for annual summaries of in-game events by the Megas Logothetes, and reports by the Senators on actions they have taken with the saved game.

Other than the Megas Logothetes, Senators should only post in this thread to say they are taking the save, to upload a new save, and to report whatever actions they have taken with the save.

The final starting save for LotR is now ready. You can find it here. The treasury has been reset to 10,000, the avatars have been moved to their indicated starting locations, the titles have been given to the proper avatars, and the excess avatars have all been killed off. If you think I made an error, please PM me about it, do not post it in here.

All avatars are located in the places last indicated by the respective players. Unless you can prove that I made an error, you will not be allowed to change your starting location, you will simply have to move to your desired destination yourself. I was unable to find starting locations for the following people: rossahh, Smowz, Byblos, Ichigo, AussieGiant, and 00jebus. I have placed these 6 avatars in what I think are logical starting locations. The first four have been placed in the city that belongs to the Comes who leads their various Houses. The last two are not part of any House, and have been placed in Constantinople. The complete list of starting locations is:

Aleksios Komnenos - Constantinople
Makedonios Ksanthopoulos - Nicosia
Iakovos ek Kallipoleos - Nicosia
Armatos ek Naksou - Nicosia
Nathanail ek Korinthou - Nicosia
Koulianos Vourzos - Nicosia
Vissarionas ek Lesvou - Nicosia
Vartholomaios Ksiros - Nicosia
Kosmas Mavrozomis - Athens
Hypatios Machonios - Athens
Ioannis Kalameteros - Athens
Zigavinos Vasilakios - Athens
Nevoulos ek Philadelphias - Athens
Anastasios Neokaisareitis - Thessalonica
Ioannis Komnenos - Nicaea
Pavlos Chrysovergos - Nicaea
Ioannis Kantakouzinos - Constantinople
Tarasios Sarantinos - Nicaea
Aleksios ek Ikoniou - Corinth
Khristophoros Diogenis - Corinth

Markianos Ampelas - Thessalonica
Apionnas Vringas - Constantinople

Megas Logothetes' Report for 1081

There is no signifigant news. Strategoi may conduct moves (OOC: The save is open for the 24 hour movement period).

Please remember that movement of fleets and any troops not in an assigned garrison or army is strictly the province of the Logothete.

The question of Durazzo will be resolved once I give my own orders. Any Strategoi making an independent move on the settlement will be declared an outlaw and subject to swift Imperial justice. Consider this a final warning.

OOC: Use TC's latest save to start. If unfamiliar with the rules, FAQS and procedures, please review before taking the save. If you have any questions, please post in the OOC thread.

Post in this thread when you take the save. Please compress the new save before uploading it, and then post a link to the new save in a new post in this thread. Please summarize what you did with the save in that post.

To reiterate:

Other than the Megas Logothetes, Senators should only post in this thread to say they are taking the save, to upload a new save, and to report whatever actions they have taken with the save.

Have at it.

New Save: http://www.mizus.com/pbm/LOTR-1185-7.rar

Killed Salih Bey, Emir of Mosul and owner of Turkish Privy Seal, who besieged Theopolis!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I got Man of the Hour proposal but declined it because the benefactor was Ioannis Kantakouzinos(Theo don't like him).

Also I would like to point out that many of the settlements have auto-manage turned on! (Yerevan, Baku, Belgrade, Durazzo, Ragusa)

And if possible I would ask that Megas Logothetes builds a fort for Theo so he could plan his strike against Turkish forces besieging Damascus!
