KOTF OOC Thread

Hey everyone. Thanks Felix for letting everyone know what happened.

I'm not quite sure what happened but my old computer died. right now I'm stealing a few minutes on a relative's computer. The upshot of it is that I can get a new one, and a better one. My wife's work has no interest loans for their employees to buy computers with and she doesn't care how much it is as long as I make the payments, although there are limits to spending within the program itself (I can't go crazy, unfortunately).

It could take a day or two for the request to be approved, then hopefully I can get one right away. I am also switching from dialup to dsl, starting on the 12th. This means after that date I can be online much more often that I was in the weeks before my old comp bit the dust.

I'm happy to see things have remained active, and will be spending the first weekend after I have everything and get it set up just catching up. I apologize for any difficulties my absence has caused, and especially to those that I was exchanging pms on different ideas when I disappeared.

[Tamur]

hey Zim! Great news about the computer, that's a very nice payment plan. We'll try not to throw too many shoes into the gears while you're working things out :)

[Braden]

yeah, light at the end of the tunnel....and its not a freight train coming your way...at least. Must admit I've been a little lost without a GM being about but we've managed well.

Roll on the interim Seneschalship!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Welcome back Zim!

[Ramses II CP]

Okay, taking the save shortly, PM me soon if there's any missed business.

[Braden]

Are we waiting 24 or 48hrs for this issue be responded to by the Avatar owner?

[_Tristan_]

As I'm the owner of the avatar in question, I can assure you the answer's been sent already...

[Braden]

Cool, just wondered what period we had here that's all.

It just sounded so mysterious and dangerous...cloak 'n dagger almost...I was chafing at the bit to find out who it was and what the problem was!

Fun-fun-fun

[Tamur]

I was hoping for the death part, as that's always loads of fun IC.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Of course it does.

And Charles would have one less competitor to the throne that way..

[Zim]

Computer is bought. Just have to wait for some pesky things like an internet connection at home and a new video card. Should be a week at the latest.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Talking about computers..

I also want to buy a new one in the upcoming week.
So, is this laptop good:
AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core processor ZM-82
4GB RAM
2815 MB ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics
1000GB(2*500GB) 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
Windows Vista Home Premium

[Ramses II CP]

Okay, sorry chaps, RL stuff intruded as it usually does. I tried to figure out a cleaner way to prevent the avatar being executed for heresy, but in the end I had to move him into a settlement in technical violation of his SoT. Sorry Tristan.

Things are going to get exciting, I swear it. I have some stuff on the hook that will charge up the game, especially if this Papal election comes out like I think it will.

...I just have to find the time to put it all together.

I would expect to take the save back Monday evening (EST) around 9 pm, but extensions can easily be granted if necessary.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

So... uhhh is GH the new duke of Aquitaine or is Tincow. I have not heard from anyone in the duchy, so I am not sure who I should be talking to......

[Ramses II CP]

GH is, and I have authority to act for GH in the game if necessary. I'm still going to send out a PM with some plans to you guys as soon as I can find time to write it.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

OK cool. Just wanted to know what I should be doing.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I estimate one more week of inactivity on my part before I can really get back into things. My winter break begins Friday afternoon, but until then it's "batten down the hatches!" mode.

[Braden]

OOC Stuff from my SoT’s –

- River?? I believe the river that runs West > East just south of Frankfurt is meant on the map to be the Main; I’ve put as much in my IC update
- I won’t manage to get back to the save before cut off but I neglected to move Henri and his army back into Frankfurt, I've asked if Ramses can do this for me via PM (won’t need to amend my SoT’s) before he turns the save over.

Mainly wanting Henri in the settlement when that Priest is trained.

[Braden]

@ Ramses

Ooo..nasty

Hope she gets better soon, my own son has had a temperature for the past 48hrs...odly nothing else, just a high temperature over it now but he's still a pain in the arse!

[_Tristan_]

Yes, Ramses, my best wishes to your daughter... Hope she gets well soon...

Here's a balloon for her

[Ramses II CP]

Thanks guys, high fever, a wide variety of symptoms and no diagnosis from the doctors we've seen. I'm hoping she'll feel better tomorrow, but it's been a harrowing ride hearing some of the speculation docs throw around.

Anyway, taking the save to advance the turn now.

[Ituralde]

The holiday lull seems to have come early this year.

Ramses you have my permission to move Simon towards Toulouse, since Marcus Agrippa doesn't seem to move the Order Knights.

[Ramses II CP]

Will do on the movement. I'll be taking the save tonight to advance the final turn before the Council session, and then I'll post my announcement-ish stuff.

[Ramses II CP]

12 hour extension due to the usual suspects. Announcement to come tonight.

[Braden]

Roger-Roger, I'm stuck getting to grips with the new Empire patch and its changes so wont get back on tonight anyway.

[_Tristan_]

Hey guys, just a quick word to let you know I'm still in but I'm moving home during the holidays so I will have to change my Internet provider and I don't know how long it will be before the new one can get me online...

Anyway I should still be able to check here from time to time from work...

[Ramses II CP]

Quick update, I've managed to get myself sick with what my daughter had this past week. Still don't know what it is, but she kicked it so I'll be fine, it's just thrown me for a loop. All the doc could suggest last night was 'probably viral.' I'll move things forward as soon as possible.

[TinCow]

So... uhhh is GH the new duke of Aquitaine or is Tincow. I have not heard from anyone in the duchy, so I am not sure who I should be talking to......

I take it Christophe is still around then and causing confusion. Please take this post as confirmation that I still want him killed off.

Drink, take the drugs and sleep as much as possible..thats what my lad did. Took him two days to get over it but he was fine afterwards.

[Zim]

Hey everyone. I have internet now and a video card for the new computer. I still need to buy a new copy of MTWs (mine is missing a disc) and I'll be good to go.
