No no no, I mean can I (using IC mode) use IC law to make you leave. It would all be a story; I wouldnt actually interact with you.

Hmm, maybe I should meet with you TCM, and we can have an argument. Joint story post?

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

But by making a law - who would then move the legion to adhere to the law? If potocello isn't there to move him, then the law is moot. Unless, of course, you're talking about declaring him inactive and erasing his avatar - which certainly is not the case.

the Legio III may have units retrained after a battle. Send PM or notify me another way after move is done. Dux and/or Consuls may move my character to keep up with a Dux Campain i am apart of.

Sure, we can do a story (PM's the conversation and then we'll paste it together)

[/Bean\]

What law? I'm talking about ICness. This has nothing to do with laws...I mean can my character attempt to use ICness to IC move your characters out with your legion. Basically all a story. Nothing would physically change unless you moved the legion yourself

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

I can't do anything...I'm waiting for the next turn to end..and I want Legio III out of my damn city already...what's keeping Potocello?

Everyone, seeing as your the only high office guy online atm, would it be possible to make an IC decree that would force Legio III to leave Epidamnos? So that I can roleplay it? Then I'll put it in the stories thread and stuff. Would it be IC legal?

(Emphasis mine)

That's what I interpreted to mean "law" and since the laws we have are all In Character, I assumed you meant you would make a decree as Provincial governor, etc (in game law) and force the army to be physically moved, which would have been against Potocello's SOT post.

You can, of course, huff and puff all you want In Character, and we'll come up with some excuse as to why the legion is not moving; but I don't believe that it can be moved at all. I look forward to the argument! :)

[/Bean\]

I might have to make one with you tonight ...unfortunately I dont have time right now

[/Bean\]

Everyone can you end the turn, TCV's comps down.

[Potocello]

whoa now excuse me for thinking it okay to stay in a city,it's not like i'm keeping you from your dictatorship. But sorry about this, could someone move it out for me? I'm finding it hard to find time to take the save during the week. Maybe TCM could move them out?

I'll put it in the PM TCM. Sorry Bean.

EDIT: Or if you want to have an argument about it as TCM suggested, i'm all for it.

[/Bean\]

Haha dont worry I'm not really angry . My character is though

[Potocello]

=) in that case, expect some resistance... maybe

[/Bean\]

Why? Go away!

[The Celtic Viking]

Whats wrong with it this time?

I wish I knew. I'm a god of sex and intelligence, not computers.

What happened was that the screen just suddenly said "monitor going to sleep", and no command could "wake it up", so to say. Trying to restart the computer, it freezes while Windows is loading. If you have any idea what this could mean, or how I can fix it...

[Iskander 3.1]

Did you try starting up in safe mode?

[The Celtic Viking]

Yeah, that works. Though as I said, I'm not a computer guy, so I don't know what to do while in there.

[Iskander 3.1]

Hmmm...try a system restore?

[The Celtic Viking]

Tried that, didn't work. Any other ideas?

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Sounds like somebody needs a windows re-install!
In that case - SAVE YOUR SAVE GAME FILES TO A DISK!!!!!!!!! (CD NOWADAYS) Then put them back into the proper folders after you re-install windows, every single program you have, and necessary updates

If you're really lucky, and I mean really lucky, you may even have bad sectors on your hard drive!
If that's what has happened, you can try to format it; but more than likely is $$$ time.

[The Celtic Viking]

If you're really lucky, and I mean really lucky, you may even have bad sectors on your hard drive!

So that's the jackpot, eh? I... must... HAVE IT!

Thanks, TCM. Will try that tomorrow.

[SwissBarbar]

I wish I knew. I'm a god of sex and intelligence, not computers.

this just made my day

[navarro951]

wow...just got ETW and it is just a masterpiece.

[Potocello]

wow...just got ETW and it is just a masterpiece.

so i hear, too bad my computer won't run it.

[navarro951]

Well its funny, my naval battles have to be on all low (not that i care they are epic anyway!) and everything else runs fine on medium. Yet to this day EB still lags when i move across the map....grr.

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

EB is so weird like that. I'm not sure why; but it runs completely differently on every computer - even if they're spec'ed the same!

[navarro951]

ya i have heard that.

also now that im back in the action I would like to let you guys know that yes I will finally have a chance to update the history. please know that i am reviewing and debating the rank and military structure changes you have all discussed. when i have come to a conclusion i will lay them out at the next CC.

[everyone]

what? TCV's computer is still down and I am home early?
huzzah! I am home early and have no homework for the weekend!
I shall end the turn. and install ETW and play it after that. damned homework over the past few days preventing me from installing ETW.

[/Bean\]

I was only going to get ETW to stick it next to all my other TW cases...

[everyone]

I am now very angry because my computer lacks a 2.4 ghz processor and has a 2.2 ghz processor instead. so I can't run ETW on battle mode because it'll freeze randomly and I can't play campaign mode without having CTD's upon moving the map around.

in fact, I have spat so much from swearing that my screen is stained with saliva. I have to wipe it off after I stop swearing.

[/Bean\]

Thats too bad; however getting a bigger processor and installing it is relatively easy and can be done yourself, so no where near as bad as the problems I've had in the past. Easy to fix, just opo into town and get a bigger processor. (Make sure your comp can take it.)

Btw, Everyone, can I build the next foreign MIC in Epidamnos please. I want to get Illyrian Thureophoroi and heavy peltasts for my bodyguard and auxiliary infantry. It costs 3000 mnai which is why I'm asking, but if I cancel the racetrack we have 5623 mnai.

Also, Pyrrhos is right next to me basically, so I'm going to try and kill him with a small advance guard rather than the whole legion, makes more sense RP-wise.

[everyone]

you'll need to update your SOT post for that, and since you're provincial governor for 2 in-game years, I doubt that the next level of MIC would be completed within your term.

anyway, don't forget, as Provincial governor, you can "prioritise" buildings

(3) Once per full 12 turn Consul Term, can Prioritize one building in any build queue in any settlement in his Province(s).

and as of now, you can't have any auxiliary units because Cotta is still missing 1 command point or 2 influence points.

and the racetrack was TCV's idea.

right I just remembered something; since you did not place anything in the build queue of Epidamnos in your SOT; TCV's action as CoF should not be carried out, since it does not say "at Consul of Finance's discretion".

if you're not sure what are the powers of a provincial governor and how to govern your settlements in BtSH; refer to MerlinusCDXX's SOT post in the WotB forum here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=107460

and I think taking on Pyrrhus with the 'advance guard' is a great chance for RPing; you could challenge Pyrrhos to a duel or something like that!

[/Bean\]

I prioritised the first foreign MIC, which I guess was the only one I can do till the next CC. Shall I just leave it to you then, and forget about the bodyguard units?

EDIT: Haha Pyrrhus just fled without fighting me, so I've got a free close victory. Pursuit!!!

[everyone]

bodyguard? oh right. I forgot about that! as quaestor you're entitled to 2 bodyguard units; perhaps you should ask navarro about it. you earned the rank while you were in Epiros; so I suppose you could chose from any unit that was there (which I don't know what is there).

oh and if you prioritised anything, be sure to state it in your SOT.

and I'm still angry that I can't play ETW yet.
