My condelences to OK, who lost Hugues this turn to the "Age mod"...

Lorraine is moribund...

Piss poor timing indeed.

But a good day for Thomas de Saint-Amand, who in the space of a year has gained three territories and a Duchy. If I was more paranoid, I would think he hired those Germans. . .

J'Accuse KnightnDay!

As for spawning RGBs: I think we should let the new recruits have dibs first then those of us going a second time around. My understanding of the 5 turn wait for a RGB is that it was meant to curtail players developing a wasteful attitude toward RGBs. So if you die in a battle, you wait a while for the next clone slug, unless a family member is available. What's a bit more iffy is if those of us who died of old age or by the actions of others need to wait as well.

Personally, I'm not in a huge rush to get another avatar.

[KnightnDay]

Yes, this is all part of the Thomas' master plan for world domination.

Now, how to get the Duchy back on its feet...

[_Tristan_]

Loss of avatar due to Ingame death (rather than player's wish) should not require a 5 turns waiting period, IMHO.


And KnD, a good start to putting the Duchy back on its tracks would be to avoid death at the hands of the uber-stack generated by our GM and his elves...

[OverKnight]

All hail Duc Thomas the Unlikely!

Try not to die.

[Braden]

Yes, this is all part of the Thomas' master plan for world domination.

Now, how to get the Duchy back on its feet...

There's help available IF you want to take it....(see the Council thread)

[_Tristan_]

And all hail Philippe the Scarred, King of the Franks !!!



(Keeping with the Sith Lords theme...)


Try to envision a medieval version of same, and you've got Philippe...

[Braden]

Really?!? I was thinking a more "man in the iron mask"...bit more French

[KnightnDay]

I'm not much good with new-fangled technology like light sabers. I'll stick to more conventional means.

[Ramses II CP]

Ahh, dark days have come. Even greater sympathies on your loss OK, I hate it when the engine gobbles up an avatar. All that fun conflict that could've developed between King Louis and his old Duke is gone now too.

On the bright side Louis is now even more convinced God is on his side. Everyone who speaks out against him dies or is punished.

[Ituralde]

I have nothing against scrapping the whole 5 turn thing entirely. There are just many occasion where it doesn't make sense. And from what I've seen so far we don't have to be afraid of anyone trying to become wasteful with their avatars.

Tough luck OK, but I already look forward to your next avatar!

[Ferret]

Zim specifically asked me to recruit these 3 avatars.

Do you know if one of them is for me? Zim never did get back to me and I haven't seen him around in a while but I'm still here lurking

[Ituralde]

Give that man his avatar!

No seriously, we can always need new and old players and shouldn't keep them waiting. Please recruit enough RGBs that everyone can have one.

[_Tristan_]

We got no news from you for some time... Even before Ibn claimed Charles back...

One of these could be for you depending on who claims them..

If I'm not mistaken, we have currently Elite Ferret, Cultured Drizzt Fan, Northnovas, Overknight, HolyGateKeeper and Shlin28 waiting for an avatar...

I've listed them in order of request (or order of demise...) so we could use this setup : EF, CDF and NN get to choose among the 3 from this turn, OK, HGK and S28 will get to choose from the next batch...

[Ferret]

Zim got news from me, I was just waiting for Charles to come of age but I was on holiday when it happened. When I got back Zim told me Ibn wanted him so I said okay I'll have a RGB, but then a while later Ibn asked me as well so I don't know what happened there but yeah I said the same again. I guess I should have posted here as well...

I'm happy to wait until later if anyone else wants those three, I'm in no great rush.

[shlin28]

I can wait. Let everyone else (especially the vets) have the avatars first

[_Tristan_]

Hey, EF, I didn't know you were in touch with Zim... At the utmost, you'll have a single turn to wait... Your new avatar should be waiting for you Wednesday at the latest.

[_Tristan_]

Aussiegiant : Hi Ramses,

I'm getting an error on that save using winRAR. Can you give it another shot?

Mine definitely works. Maybe you could try DLing it anew ?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

give me a little while to go over them and I will chose. thanks guys

[Braden]

Ooo...new victi...erm...members to join us. Excellent.

muhahahahahhahahaha!

[Vladimir]

And you wonder why Gontran's sitting in the south, soaking up the sun.

Edit: So, how did you guys keep things interesting in prior games? I figured there'd be more squabbling over resources, wars, etc. How did you stay interested?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Well, there should be more "Bad Boys". Things would become more interesting then.

[deguerra]

It's not easy. I'm glad of the various deaths, even if I know they must be annoying, because they ought to spruce things up a bit. I also really really really really think we need some sort of GM event. We are simply too powerful already.

As a sidenote, I imagine Raoul as a combination of

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

OK I am willing to take Micheal D'Anjou

I agree with this part. There haven't been any yet and I liked them in LotR..

[woad&fangs]

I might have an idea for an event
edit: I'll send a proposal to Zim later tonight. I'm really liking this idea of mine.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ohhh, I LIKE this avatar I have a good story for him.

[Ramses II CP]

I've proposed a thing with Zim, but it might take some time to develop. We'll see.

Louis, for the record, has an off-the-charts loyalty rating. I'm rather trapped with how much I can exploit his temperment disagreement with his father. There will be conflict in the future, rest assured.

edit: By the way, was the save taken mine or Tristan's? Did mine fail for anyone other than AG?

[Vladimir]

Good. I like TC's revelation about the private disputes within France. Lately there's been no reason for any given all the wars. Gontran is pissed about the lack of development in his settlement but he's more likely to bed some Italian girl than pick a fight.

[Northnovas]

Well if CDF as his pick from the 3 I will take Beavis the one young enough to be someone's bastard son.

[Braden]

Interest? Is it time for me to add that Henri is really the bastard son of one of our spies, and is being manipulated by him in the background? …Nahh, done that one already (WotS).

Fun is coming, it just takes time and lots of back-room moves…it’s a chess game..I…(whoops!)…we have to get the pieces in position before we stir things up.
