Player Chatroom (Off-Character Discussion)

[Maion Maroneios]

Now that we're getting started with the game, I believe we can start with some sub-threads for organizing ourselves. This is going to be a thread were you can talk (off-character) about anything you like, though still relevant to the game itself. Feel free to ask questions too.

[x] In as first

[Maion Maroneios]

blame the economic crisis, I'm bored at work :)

They've blocked all sorts of fancy sites like facebook and youtube here, but the Org is still under the radar! :D

[Maion Maroneios]

Aha, cool. Here at Uni, poker sites (including porn, of course) are the only blocked ones. Shame about the poker though, I like Facebook poker.

I'm in too

well first question: - will there be more threads like this one, e.g. for the synedron?
- and how is it with my position? I read the faq but do my char only recive tasks or can he interact in the synedron and on other channels too?
- 'cause he is currently working on an emergency-plan to safe Makedonia from the other so-called Hellenes

Am I supposed to start the first session now, or are we still waiting for something? I'm a little unsure, by the way, about my opening speech. I suppose I should address the "Pyrrhos outside of Pella" situation and the KH nuisance, but what else is there that I have missed? As it seems important that I don't miss anything important, I want to check here this first time.

I have also understood it that I as the Basileus decide the length of the session on my own. Is that correct?

[mini]

You missed the feather dancers at court in Corinth. Quite distasteful, it should be halted.

[/Bean\]

And my promotion.

Nah but seriously. You should, not introduce, but set up each of the characters, so that each knows what he's doing and where he's going. Your the king, so give orders, rather than let people decide what they want to do, and then have them sat around doing nothing because they havent got anything to do.

And I think we should discuss in here what our policies on capturing cities should be, and on the spawning of armies. I would prefer not to let any factions be destroyed utterly, because it stops any future rise of them. We shouldn't expand too quickly, and maybe do more raids on cities than actually capturing them all the time. What's everyone else's view?

[mini]

The greeks are too treacherous, they must be destroyed!

[/Bean\]

They should at the very least retain Sparta, and we should (if they don't rebel to them anyway) give them Byzantion, Rhodes (I know), Crete, Thermon to represent the independent Greek states. Then it at least gives us an enemy to fight later rather than just the Eleutheroi, who everyone knows the problems with.

All right, bean, you strap on some of those pots filled with Greek fire, run into Athens and throw yourself at the finest building you can find, and Everyone, you assist him but under AI control. Iskander, you take your fleet and randomly blockade any port of any random faction, wait one turn and then move on and do the same again. The rest of you can just attack each other at will.

How's that?

Seriously though, as Maion said I'm technically an equal to you, so we must discuss things anyway. Otherwise, lets just skip the Synedrion completely and just let me reign supreme... not that I mind, of course, but I don't think that's how Maion designed the game.

About not destroying factions completely, it depends on the situation IMO, but generally yes, let them live. We're on the same page, in other words.

Maion Maroneios is now Forum Leader for the TVS subforum and has the ability to sticky and lock threads. He is also responsible for running the TVS game. If you have a problem with the game itself, please contact Maion Maroneios first. I will not be monitoring the daily progress of the game, so it would be best if you could try and resolve any issues with him first, and only bump it up to me if you are not satisfied with the result.

However, this only extends to gameplay itself. This subforum is provided for organizational purposes only. It is still a part of the Throne Room and all (both) Throne Room rules still apply. If there are general problems between players in this forum, please contact me directly. This includes inappropriate language, personal attacks, etc. Competitive games like this can sometimes cause a bit of OOC conflict. Try and remember that it's just a game; keep the conflicts in the IC realm, and be friendly and courteous at all times OOC.

As always, please also feel free to contact me if there's anything I can do to help out. Good luck!

[Maion Maroneios]

Excellent! I believe we won't have any problems with behaviour, given that most of the guys that have subscribed I already know more or less. Of course, you never know... Anyway, I'll try and do my best as a Forum Leader henceforth!

@ Beanerz: Regarding Eb vs real life numbers, a more "relistic" feel is x10 for Huge numbers, so x20 for Large. Just my

Takin bets on who will be cautioned first...I bet myself

And oh sorry, didn't realise we were on large..I'll shall pretend I said something different...Blackadder style

[johnhughthom]

Are we supposed to be proposing edicts in the Synedrion yet, or are we just going to argue for a while?

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, when I decide we've argued enough, I will propose edicts. You will second what you wish to second, and then I believe I'm supposed to PM Maion with the edicts that passed. He will then put up a poll for everyone to vote in. I will go to bed now after checking WotB and BtSH, so I will give you the night to discuss things through. I will propose the edicts tomorrow.

[The Celtic Viking]

Didn't end turn as I wasn't sure if TCV wanted to move, perhaps the Akontista in Demetrias could be given to Alexandros?

Err, no, I won't do it myself, but now that you've reminded me, please move Antigonos and his army so that he's at the border (but still on friendly ground) in Thessalia towards Athens, and build a fort for him there.

Thanks!
