I'd like to rejoin as Andronikos if that is possible.

Sure thing, he's all yours.

[OverKnight]

TC. . .you're green. . .and for some reason I feel more threatened by your presence.

Congratulations!

[Northnovas]

Yes, Congratulations!

I hope the benefit package imporves.

GREEN POWER activate!

Well done!

[Privateerkev]

I see Tosa is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find moderators...

[TinCow]

GREEN POWER activate!

It actually came at a convenient time. I was about to have to do my bi-monthly PM box purge, but I think I can now put it off for a few more weeks.

[Rowan]

I'll check back in a little while and if you're still having trouble I will try to upload it to Mizus again or use a different service.

It seems to work now. I managed to DL the save but I'm at work now...

[pevergreen]

Lack of Mafia Games? My Huge game is in sign up (note: shamless recruiting )

If any of you have read Raymond E. Feist and want to see a mafia version of it, check my signature

[AussieGiant]

Good god.

It's the Greeen Latern!!

It seems TC has now graduated from Sith training.

Well done.

[Warmaster Horus]

Nice avatar TC. Well done!

For the benefit of anyone who thinks this game is too easy, I will now point out that we have just had our fourth death in battle on turn 39. KotR did not have it's first death in battle until turn 73 and didn't have its fourth until turn 87, but two of those deaths were avatars that were not controlled by the person fighting the battle and one of them was essentially intentional. It is also worth mentioning that there were only five deaths in battle total in WotS, and one of those was an avatar that no one ever used.

LotR is already miles ahead of the other games in lethality, especially when you consider that all four deaths so far have been in situations where the player who owned the avatar was fighting the battle.

[_Tristan_]

Perhaps because we were wrongly given the impression that our Jedi Bodyguards could survive whatever the costs...

[Privateerkev]

Again, this death happened when the avatar was alone. We have yet to lose one in a battle with 2+ avatars present. If you put avatars together, they are still quite "Jedi."

I also just realized that of the 7 Crusaders, 3 are now dead. And a 4th is back home where he came from. This event has been quite lethal.

On a totally seperate note, I am starting to get flooded with requests to leave boats on coastlines that coincidentally happen to be one year's MP away from the people requesting.

That's the difference between a whole panzer division and a small strike force...

Don't mention it... Ilios Korakas lost two members in the wake of it : Kosmas (who took part in the founding of it) and Annios who had just joined...

Turns Methodios into some kind of survivor (or survivalist...) ...

[Privateerkev]

Which makes the Order a whole Panzer Corp...

[ULC]

Which makes the Order a whole Panzer Corp...

Some how, I would die laughing if our general's were actually panzerphaunts...either that or it would lose it's humor

[_Tristan_]

Looks more like the whole Wehrmacht...

[Privateerkev]

Looks more like the whole Wehrmacht...

As long as we don't try to invade Russia, we should be ok...

[ULC]

As long as we don't try to invade Russia, we should be ok...

LET'S BUY RUSSIA!

[Privateerkev]

I just realized that with Mak stepping down, we have no more original House Leaders left. Of the starting 5, Kosmas and the Caesar stepped down and Aleks and Michail both joined other feudal chains. Mak was the last original House Leader.

It's nice to see rotation going on amongst the leadership. Helps keep the game fresh.

Okay, just to clarify some things during my time as sub GM:

- There won't be any Library updates, as I don't have mod powers and thus can't edit the necessary posts.

- Not sure how much TC is going to do before he leaves, but if need be I will calculate all influence manually and post it in this thread. I expect you all to double-check for your avatar.

- I will stay on top of things, but if you need a retinue transfer or something similar, PM me just in case. If you don't hear back from me within 24 hours, PM me again.

- IC, IC, IC gentlemen.

Have a great time TC.

Sorry that Constantinople is besieged, my bad, I'll take care of it once the save is opened up again.

Also, for the History will the Tagamata and Asteri be sharing a House thread now as the Alliance? In the Hx I've linked to the Asteri thread for 1140 since they are the dominant part of the Alliance.

We were to keep our own Houses but since I am the only one in the House I am just pming myself instead of posting in the thread.

I will be doing a full library update before I go. The influence will be calculated for you.

Please note I'll be on a short holiday from Wednesday evening the 17th of September until Tuesday afternoon the 23rd of September.

GH, I have no idea about internet access. I'll be surfing in Cornwall England, so the chances are unlikely.

However I'll do my best to log in over the weekend for a vote.

Timing sucks.

Have fun, AG.

You should really try to make it to DC.

[Privateerkev]

It's so nice to see that Arnold's "Arnolds" were able to make a cameo in this game.

[AussieGiant]

Have fun, AG.

You should really try to make it to DC.

Now that you mention it...I'll be heading over to New York in December for about 10 days...DC is not too far is it?

How did my Arnold's get into this PK...I really am flabbergasted?

-Edit-

Belay that question Commodore PK. I've now been brought up to speed with the situation. Arnold's, "Arnolds" are on the radar scope!!

Possession imminent, I repeat, possession imminent. Man the torpedo's and batten down the hatches!!

Those are mighty big "Arnolds" to show up on radar...

It's about 4-ish hours away by car, but can fluctuate either way depending on traffic... and the New York/Washington sector is the traffic capital of North America. By train, I'm guessing around 3 hours.
