KOTF OOC Thread

[TinCow]

Hmmm, would it be possible to have the draft occur at the same time we're doing the final revision of the rules?

Sorry if I'm belaboring this or stating the obvious , but I'm thinking out loud to ensure we're not missing anything.

On a technical level, the draft can start as soon as an official 1081 save game has been created with the avatars spawned. If we want the draft to go faster, someone will have to take and post mugshots of all the starting avatars. Otherwise people will have to load up the game to see who they want, which will restrict some people from being able to pick if their turn comes up while they can access the web, but can't load the game (i.e. from a work computer).

[OverKnight]

I can do that.

[TheFlax]

I'll take care of posting the mugshots and all that. Actually, I'm going to get the draft thread ready right now.

[Vladimir]

This is what the draft looked like in LotR. This time around the existing French nobility has already been handed out, so we'll just be selecting the RGBs that will be spawned at the beginning of 1081.

Huh. Only two night fighters in the lot.

[TinCow]

Huh. Only two night fighters in the lot.

If you're talking about the LotR draft, the mugshots of all the avatars that were chosen were removed as they were selected to avoid confusion. Thus the only ones left in there are the ones that were never picked.

Reeealy. That betters the odds. No one wants to be the Medieval Batman then?

The exe version of mod is available, check the mod thread for details.

[Zim]

Very possible, although I do need to try to get that age mod working first (starting on it now) before we can get through turn one.

I would really like an installation thread posted.

This is the same as the last two games.

If just one person doesn't follow the process and get a good install we will shaft ourselves.

We need a guide and a control point to ensure a good clean start on everyone's computer.

[Zim]

There will be an installation thread and faq.

I think everything can be put on the installer (including age mod if used) so that part will be easy at least.

I think it will likely be:
MTW2
Kingdoms
1.5 patch for Kingdoms
LTC Gold
KOTF mod

Kingdoms already patches MTW2 to 1.2 if you don't have it so that won't be needed as an extra step between the two.

[AussieGiant]

Great thanks for the update Zim.

[Andres]

Huh. Only two night fighters in the lot.

Meh, you don't need night fighter. The "social drinker" trait is all that matters

[AussieGiant]

Small thing that's driving me a little nuts.

Can we choose between:

KOTF

or

KotF

That would be great.

[AussieGiant]

Did someone just fart in here?

Its been pretty quiet for awhile.

Tristan, Flax, can you give me some instruction on how to write with a French accent.

You're going to love my character but I really have to get good at this.

I know pretty much every letter 'h' can be dropped plus something to do with the word "the" is also required.

Anything else?

[Andres]

Mais écrit en français alors! C'est plus facile

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Just write in French! That's easier

For a good French accent, you just have to pronounce everything with a guttural 'r'.

Presumably you mean KOTF or KotF?

[Cecil XIX]

I wonder how long we can go before one noble accuses another of being a 'cheese-eating surrender monkey'? Or using the word 'J'accuse'? Or making any reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

It will take as long as it takes me to get to my third post in the Council session.

So I take it that other "thing" is an Elderberry bush then?

Urghh, I just thought it was a miniature giant space hamster on the shield. My geek sense failed me.

So deguerra, what's the latin on the shield translate to?

Edit: Launch the Cow?

[deguerra]

Fetch (the) cow. Or in (Monty Python) French: "Fetchez la vache"

[KnightnDay]

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Better know that before approaching the Bridge of Death

[OverKnight]

So it begins. . .may God help us all.

[ULC]

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

European or African?

[deguerra]

European or African?

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

[ULC]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Not at all, they could be carried!

[deguerra]

What, a swallow carrying a coconut?

That's it, enough of this, or we'll recite the whole damn movie. Deguerra out.
