KOTF OOC Thread

[OverKnight]

Woah, did the King just throw the Seneschal under the bus, or what?

Damn that's cold.

Welcome back Braden, I don't think we worked together too much in KotR, but I look forward to it now.

[GeneralHankerchief]

As a request, could we possibly put all future battle screenshots in spoiler tags? Right now there are only 14 posts in the thread (and some of them are still placeholders), but the length is already massive.

[_Tristan_]

Something I used to do in KotR and LotR but followed the trend here...

Now it's done...

[_Tristan_]

Could we allow a few days before the start of the next Conseil to allow everybody to make their bid for land ?

I've received some bids already and answered them mostly but there are still some missing from what I would expect...

[OverKnight]

Zim mentioned starting the next Session on Monday. Not enough time for horse trading?

@GH, my reports now have the pics spoilered.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Thanks guys.

[AussieGiant]

*Getting out from under the bus.*

I'll spoil mine from the Seneschal reports soon.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Could someone tell me howw old Charles is at the moment?

I think he should be 13-14 but I'm not quite sure.

[OverKnight]

He is 13. A few more turns, 5 perhaps? The whole aging ratio issue with M2, particularly since it's 1.5 years a turn in LTC, makes my brain hurt.

If we don't hear from mini, perhaps you could take Henri if you're impatient?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I have big plans() for Charles and I don't want to switch character now..

[Braden]

Oh wow, talk about another blast from the past! Welcome back, Braden!

Mon General..time for us oldies to have a group hug? .

so far so good re-learning the game, just need to find all the downloads that we're using here. One was a .rar file (no good for me).

[AussieGiant]

*Looking at everyone else except the "new" old comer*

So who is this Braden guy?

[Ituralde]

*Takes AussieGiant aside*

Well son, it went like this. He taught me everything I know. Then I taught you everything I knew and then you turned into the most evil Dread Knight ever imagined. So a job well done, wouldn't you say!

[AussieGiant]

*Off to one side, AussieGiant's eye's widen at the discription.*

"Bloody hell, this guy must be ancient then?

IIRC, he bowed out just as you came in. Big player in WotS; the guy wrote the original torture story and took part in the first-ever Throne Room PvP battle.

go figure. I always assumed AG had spawned from the depths of hell before there even was a PBM

edit: Hi Branden!!

[OverKnight]

Historical records from that time are hit or miss, but here's some info:

Character
Senate Deliberations IV
Civil War Stories
Battle of Ancrya

It's been a while since I reviewed WotS, but Manius was one of the more tragic characters in the Civil War.

go figure. I always assumed AG had spawned from the depths of hell before there even was a PBM

AG started as an unnamed Austrian elector and "Merchant of Venice". The character resembled Alain (without an accent) more than Arnold in my opinion. Wine, women and song rather than blood, black cloaks and dread. Otto and he were always trading casks of wine or ale from the latest conquests.

[_Tristan_]

Should make the land alotment post around noon today... I need to have a look at the save first, something which I cannot do from work...

[OverKnight]

Tristan, it looks like you may have double posted in the Stories Thread.

Interesting one by the way.

[Ituralde]

So I finally got around to installing Kingdoms & Co on my computer. I also put the KotF Mod on top of it. For some reason it won't create the shortcuts for me. Or they don't appear, I don't know which is the case.

Either way my question now is whether those shortcuts are truly needed?
I just loaded the most recent save KotF1095-3 and Bodyguard Recruitment is at one Florin like it's supposed to be. So am I all set or will I wreak havoc if I continue to start up the game via the Lands to Conquer shortcut?

Also I didn't know that Henri was 17 already. Time to get him active!

[Andres]

Just an early announcement that I'll be afk from September 14th until September 25th for a well deserved vacation in Spain (Andalusia).

[econ21]

One was a .rar file (no good for me).

You can freely download an evaluation copy of WinRar that will unpack the .rar file.

[_Tristan_]

Even in death the hate for his father still burned. The Kings words on echoed in his mind.

And I had to go and wake the Dragon ...

[_Tristan_]

Tristan, it looks like you may have double posted in the Stories Thread.

Glad you liked it...I hope this one and the next shed a bit of light to what happened behind the scene in the Kingdom these past few years

[OverKnight]

And I had to go and wake the Dragon ...

Even worse. . .you woke the Poodle!

Nothing a came of catch or taking him to a football game won't resolve.

@AG did you want Alain's story before or after the King's criticism in the Conseil? I used the date in the story, 1093, which is before this.

After. I should use 1095 hey?

[OverKnight]

Yup, we were in 1095 when Alain was defenestrated.

I'll change the position of the story.

edit: Hi Branden!!

No worries mate (special that for our Aussie friend).

Now to install free .rar "unzipper-thingy"...Kingdoms was posted off today so I might be asking to join you next week.

Tonights task is to save all the info and "story so far" as either .txt or .word files so I can catch up...and, oh yeah...the torture scene in WotS, remember toning that down significantly for general consumption from the first draft!

[AussieGiant]

I've been able to push the boundries IC with some of the board rules.

A good torture scene could be possible now.

[ULC]

Arg! Ramses, Tristan! My PM Box is half-empty you know! I can receive the darned things!
