[Braden]

Thanks, Econ... I had a blast playing him... I hope that through him I created enough situations that made the game interesting... I don't know yet if I'm gonna take a new avatar... Might wait a bit before going for a new one... But I'll be back...

That's how I see it... I will update the Senechal post when I post the save to mention it...

I guess it effectively starts a new Conseil session to elect the next Senechal


To answer, your question Braden, Henri is the new heir... Time for marriage... A Danish princess could fit the bill nicely... Or some exotic Moorish one ?

Oh crap! Oh who am I kidding...Louis has centuries in him yet!

Princess...yum...just what Henri wanted. We'll see what Louis proposes huh? Moorish princess might be a bit of a rub seeing as Henri might just want to be pushing for a full blown crusade to Africa or the Holy Lands.

[Braden]

EDIT - silly me...

Danish princess might be just the ticket...blonde, blue eyes...*Giggerdy*

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Updating my list who to kill before Charles can become the king...

1. Philip
2. Louis
3. Barbus Selvo
4. Henri

I always thought that Philip will die in a battle when Tristan does his crazy cavalry attack against army 100000 times larger than his.

[_Tristan_]

I never thought he would die in his bed either... Though after a time, having attained the maxed Scarred line of traits gained him so much HP, he was almost invincible...(Or so I thought...)

Working on something for Louis' entrance now. Man, I really wish TC hadn't left us, Aquitaine is going to be a bit gutted I fear.

I will be active as king!

err, just as soon as I get a few minutes later tonight.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

hhhmmmmm, man that is unexpected. I better get more inactive now I am pretty much the only one in Aquitaine

[Braden]

well its gonna be pretty boring over at the Duchy of Lorraine...can we swap?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

hhhmmmmm, man that is unexpected. I better get more inactive now I am pretty much the only one in Aquitaine

gah I did not mean more inactive, I meant more active

[TheFlax]

Sorry about my absence (more on that later), I've been pretty busy lately finishing my studies and apparently I missed an email from Zim. I didn't take the time to check in the thread if this is old news, but in case it isn't...

Apparently, Zim suffered a pretty bad computer failure a few weeks back and he's going to need a new computer to get back to us. From what he said in his email, that could take a few more weeks, but hopefully the situation will be resolved soon.

Now, back to my absence. In light of my realization that I won't be much more active for some time and since I have an FM, I think its best if I step down now and let someone else have a shot at Barbus Selvio, hopefully before he's too old. Consider me officially out for now.

[Braden]

Well good to hear that Zim will rejoin us in the near future but sad to loose another person. Its not like Barbus is in line for the throne..unless some pretty bad disaster occurs…sure you won’t stay and pop in for the occasional update?

[Marcus Agrippa]

I found a very interesting historical document today.
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

this in particular 3rd paragraph.
http://www.constitution.org/mac/prince04.htm

[_Tristan_]

Yep, nice read... I read the Prince many years ago when I played the Diplomacy boardgame... It was my bedside book for a long time and I recall reading parts times and times again...

If TheFlax is set on giving up Barbus Selvo and noone wants to take him, I'd be willing to play him, having planned his fate and his debut in politics with TF at the time of his marriage...

[Braden]

Like the sound of that! More fiction......an italian in the family ought to make for some interesting RP.

That would be awesome. It would be a shame to have someone with that potential and interesting backstory go to waste.

Go for it!

[_Tristan_]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys...

Now, I have to think of a way to explain Barbus' lack of intervention all these years...

[Braden]

muhahahhahah...do you really need one?

He is Married to Constance!! And younger than him, can you IMAGINE how much under the thumb he is??

Harder to explain might be his re-entry into public life

Hi Guy's,

It's seems this is a consistently busy period no matter where we all are on the planet.

Apologies for the absence and lack of involvement. I've been getting hammered at work and have not been able to devote enough time here.

I'd like to hang in here and see if work takes a turn for the better and I can free up sometime.

Meanwhile I read when I can.

Cheers
AG

[Ibn-Khaldun]

No need to apologize.

[_Tristan_]

Yep.. Good to know our flamboyant Duc of Bretagne is still around...

Yay! time to get the ermine out again...

(OOC: It isn't obvious how many turns remain since there was no election this period, does anyone know offhand? I can research it further later)

To answer your question, going by the Senechal reports, I played 7 turns (1111 being the first and 1120 the final one)... That should leave you 3 turns to play (until the start of 1126...or the end of the turn preceding it whatever it is called)

OK hadn't ended the 1110 turn so I posted my reports at the start of turns rather than at the end (though it hardly makes a difference).

[EDIT] : And Braden, you might want to change your signature as Présidente (thus written) stands for chairwoman, I think you meant Président.

That's what you get for using Google translator! Hmmm...was translating:

Member and Patron of...

...there, that looks better!

[_Tristan_]

Patron is not the right word either as it means "Boss" as in "I'm the boss"...

I get the meaning you want... Now all that remains is for me to find the right word for it in French...

[Braden]

I may live closer to them but I sure aint gonna learn their language!

[Ferret]

I wouldn't be so sure that you live closer to France than Tristan, considering that he's French

Just shows how good he is at languages though, he could easily pass as British, Australian or American on here.

[Braden]

Oooo.......you got me.

Still could be worse, he could be Welsh

[Ignoramus]

Hello again guys. I'm really sorry for my absence, but I am literally snowed under with work at the moment. I doubt I'll have time to participate before the New Year. It's a shame, as I love these games, but unfortunately this a case of RL having to take precedence.

[Ituralde]

Work more important than the Org. Pah, I say to that!

No worries, as with everybody else RL issues can't be helped and you're welcome back any time!
