KOTF OOC Thread

In regard to Philippe's push for an immediate Crusade I'm going to respond here now and in the Conseil a bit later.

The calling for the Crusade is where IC and OOC issues gets muddled together. I realize that in an absolute monarchy the King could call the Crusade and set off whenever he wanted. However as the person currently running the game, I've got an Edict with very specific parameters.

Now the King has the right to declare war whenever he wishes and campaign as he sees fit, but calling the Crusade and having eligible armies join it (8 or more units) is in the Seneschal's domain. Therefore, the Crusade will not be called until the conditions of the Edict have been met or I have a concensus on how to go forward from those involved.

As for using a Crusade on the Moors or Germans, again I have a passed Edict for a Crusade on England. If two Ducs or just the King feel strongly enough and want to change this, they can call for an Emergency Session to alter what has already been agreed upon. Hugues himself will not be pursuing this option.

This all might ruffle some feathers, but I am proceeding as best I can given the current edicts and game conditions.

OK that sounds spot on to me.

To see how drunk Hugues should be with his little drinking game, I just checked how many times the word "Crusade" was used between his last and second to last post. It turns out it was 28, not including "Crusader" or "crusading". He then of course said it 4 - 5 times himself.

I fear his liver might not survive the term.

Also I second Tristan's request to have each person who takes the save post a summary of what they did. I find it very helpful as Seneschal.

Would it be useful for the Seneschal for us to link battle reports and stories to our save retrospectively also?

Doesn't the level of enebreation depend on what's being drunk? lol

Nah, just a short description will do. The rest I cover in the History.

28 gulps of wine could do some damage. I fear for the Kingdom if Hugues switches to Brandy.

Its the quantity and rate of consumption.
One shot of spirits is equal to one 341ml of beer that is equal to 6 oz glass of wine. Alcohol is alcohol only body weight and empty or full stomach will affect the level of intoxication.

So my £70-a-night binges when I was younger WERE a bad idea...

**OverKnight** · 10-04-2009, 18:21

The save will be reclaimed in about three hours once I have finished watching the Patriots-Ravens game and I am fully caffeinated.

So if there are any last minute moves for this turn, now would be a good time to do them.

Edit: I think any idea that has the word "binge" in it, is usually a bad one.

Stick it to em OK

@Econ, good point. I've never done it but it is certainly worth stating now.

I can see council sessions getting even more entertaining with the two characters we have in the King and heir.

Good work Tristan and Ramses
