Now I'll explain the Rules as I saw them when I wrote them.

If Satrapy is created you have one settlement. Other settlements will be added when your avatars get better Management skills. This is to make those in-game management points important. Once you get 2/4/6/8/10 points you can ask the Basileus to add another settlement into your Satrapy. To get those points you must be present in your Satrapy. It's in your best interest to be in a city and try to make your avatar a good governor. The maximum number of settlements will be 6 then.
Also, the larger the Satrapy the more help you need with governing it and fighting against those brigands. This is why every Satrap will have the chance to get Satraps Aid. But this means more Influence points. And again you get a lot of them in a city/town.
I just wanted to tie the Satrap with his Satrapy more.

Hope this explained here since it's early morning and I haven't got my morning tea.

Yeah, I do. I have an older computer that can't handle EB that well.

Ibn-Khaldun, I considered taking advantage of your mistakenly giving my character the Parthian Satrapy but decided as my character is unselfish and loyal this would be out of character. Had I, with a suitable backstory obviously, decided to have my character turn around and refuse to hand over the satrapy, possession being 9/10s of the law and all that, would it have been seen as a genuine move or a flagrant attempt to benefit from an obvious mistake? Just so I know in future.

Since it was my mistake as a GM then it would've as flagrant attempt to benefit from an obvious mistake. This was not an IC mistake so it would be bad taste to use it since I would have corrected it once I do my next moves.
Although I liked that story

I'll take the save back 12.00 GMT so if you want to do your turn then please do it before that deadline.

I see. Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

One other question: on my trip to join up with the Royal Army, there is one of our armies on the bridge next to Tarsos, besieging the city. I can't pass it because of Tarsos' zone of control, so I have to stay there for one turn. Am I allowed to join the army for that one turn and then the next be on my way?

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 09-19-2008, 14:08

Ask when he attacks. If he plans to attack in this turn then wait till he have done that and then move past Tarsos.

**kingsnake** · 09-19-2008, 16:02

I don't plan to attack this turn (save 271-2-?) the one Ibn just uploaded 2 hours ago. I plan to attack next turn (271-3-?).

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 09-19-2008, 16:13

If so then you can join his army and before he attacks you should leave the army.

Also Arrhenides will arrive there in this turn as well

**kingsnake** · 09-19-2008, 16:21

Yes I loaded the save and played with the characters.
I think I'll attack this turn can I move Arrhenides to my army? And Rodrico's character can move into my army and then leave right away in the same turn, can I move him to? If so what direction should he go? Antiocheia? When I officially take the save?

Rodico's SOT post says that you can't move him and this means that you can't do what you wanted. Celtic_Punk's post says that he should be moved to the 1st Syrian Army. So I allow you to move him into your Army. He wanted you to use his avatar in battle anyway.

**kingsnake** · 09-19-2008, 16:54

Ok I'll leave rodrico alone and attack.

Ummm rodrico is blocking the way. Arrhenides(Celtic Punk) can't join up and I want to attack now.

Can't I just move him to the other side of my army, so I can do my job? That's what he'll do nonetheless...
