Unexpected rewards for startingly role-playing as opposed to things we script our role-playing to attain. I remember being infuriated by the high spawn of rebels in solo play of RTW, so presumably we should see some crop up naturally in game.

All that said, I would not be opposed to a more major GM created event. We were promised no more than one per 10 turns, so I figure we may see one within the next session unless things go pear shaped on their own.

I do sympathise with a governor's life potentially being dull - maybe some kind of rotation of duty could be organised? That's what I would like to see in the Order, if we ever get the numbers to carry it out. Or you could try to mix things up - holding a tournament in your town for example. I seem to remember some RL discussion about crusades being used as an outlet to rid of unemployed troublesome warriors - the idea is starting to look relevant to our game, IMO. It should not be long before a proper in-game crusade is a possibility.

If you're looking for precedent I suggest we establish one. Playing the GM, playing Total War, playing KotF; it's all in the fun. We're already allowing out of game events in the counsel to affect in-game actions. Let some players who cannot actively participate in the game feel like they are still part of it.

Some of my favorites, but certainly not all inclusive.

A selection of telling off the Monarch:

Dietrich vs. Heinrich

Mandorf vs. Heinrich

Arnold vs. Siegfried et al

Peter vs. Elberhard

Matthias vs. Elberhard

Republicans vs. Royalists

I agree with econ. Traits make up what a person is. Adding them takes away the roleplaying potential.

I agree with econ.

I understand things might be a little dull but will heat up quickly.

The Council session is becoming a little tense. That's always good for business.

Very quiet in the game threads.

Why do I get the impression there is a flurry of activity happening on Message boards and PMs?

**OverKnight** · 09-10-2009, 16:21

Well it has been an uneventful Session. I can see why people wouldn't want to be a part of it.

Also I think some of our more vocal members are on well deserved vacations unfortunately.

I can't do squat in the council sessions until I have some story work done

Ok, I am fully modded and nearly ready to join formally guys. Give me a few days to do some game tests to make sure everythings stable and to test some of the save files from here and I'll be with you.
