I've always played it as sticking mainly to the traits, but how we interprate them. For instance, 'Loyal' may not always be specifically to the king, etc...

Indeed, many traits are a matter of interpretation and that interpretation is up to the player. For instance a loyal character may not have sworn allegiance to the King, and would not see rebellion as a disloyal act.

*edit* okay all fixes are ready. My buddy of old times is sharpening all his weapons for the next raid.

Of course, being loyal doesn't mean that you're loyal no matter what, either. Even I can resort to some less-than-loyal actions, if pushed enough. It's all a matter of degree; some are more easily drawn to disloyal acts, while others require a little more motivation first. That's how I view the loyal/disloyal trait: an indication of which side the guy's leaning towards, but by no means an untouchable constant.

Hotseat User has asked if he can post in my AAR and I have no problem with it, does anybody else want to take part? I could ask a mod to change the name. I considered asking if anybody wanted to do it with me before posting my intro but thought it would just be a rehash of the main forum if we did. My plan was just a small scale affair to give people a small taste of what EB PBMs are about, with links to the main thread to read the real thing.

uhhm has anybody an idea why Belenos has the oiLugos name of the Averni-Verrix-family and is of 'Osi' orgin? Is he adopted? or should i ask a Averni-team-member? just to get some story behind him for the start.

and fouthermore... he is govenor of Viennos at gamestart - can I count that as given office by the tribes of that region? I think that's a point we have to discuss.

*edit* hehe just checked the list. only the char of Shylence is from the Allobrogne/Caturige tribes ... and as my guy is current Vollorix of these tribes - unknown for what matter - he has a good chance of holding this position. NICE.

anyway back to topic. when will we start?

I don't know, either. Sounds like adoption, but that's a deaf man's guess.

Not automatically, no. The tribe that owns Viennos will first decide who of them will be the Vollorix, and then make up their own ranks within that tribe - as well as who governs that settlement, and how you'll decide who will govern any other settlements you might later acquire.

As I said above, no Vollorix has been decided at this moment; actually, besides the Verrix and Vollorix of the Arverni tribe (me!

), no position has been decided yet.

Which reminds me: we should divide people up in tribes now. Give me a second and I will do it.
