V&V OOC/Signup Thread I

[GeneralHankerchief]

I was originally going to call an Emergency Session, but seeing as we're close to one anyway (I think?) and the most pressing issue was resolved, the Kaiser's... predicament will have to wait a bit to be publicly displayed.

[phonicsmonkey]

with Heinrich's growing insanity

That's all we need, a deranged Kaiser

EDIT: Scrub that, a fruitbat for a Kaiser is infinitely preferable to a Jihad on Austria.

What is going on now?!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sultan Jalal/Askthepizzaguy, declaring that indeed I am/have been part of this game. It is not a joke.

[Nightbringer]

Oh god, the pizza guy has his own Sultanate, RUN if you value your sanity!!!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Several, at this point, actually....

[phonicsmonkey]

I remember the last time ATPG had his own Sultanate. It didn't end well...

Welcome to the game ATPG, but don't expect us to be happy about it!

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think I've already proved I suck at destroying humans in multiplayer. I was only ever good one-on-one.

Still, fear me and stuff. Raaarr.

[phonicsmonkey]

Jens smiles as he watches the Hungarian being dragged off by the Turk
As annoying as these Turks seem to be, at least they know how to treat a Magyar.

ROFL

[Zim]

I'll take the new character if my turn's up.

[Cecil XIX]

I may be wrong but I'm not sure the save was opened as it was not annoucned to be by Cecil...

You're correct, it wasn't. Although it's technically against the rules, I won't punish players for being eager to play the game so long as there's nothing untoward.

I'll take the new character if my turn's up.

Indeed, it is. Welcome, back Zim!

[phonicsmonkey]

Sorry Cecil and everyone, I was confused about whether the save was open and had just a small window to play so I went for it...I'll wait for the announcement from the GM in future...

[Nightbringer]

Welcome back Zim!

[Zim]

Indeed, it is. Welcome, back Zim!

Welcome back Zim!

Thanks. I see this character has extra hp from a trait. Maybe he'll survive a while.

[Zim]

Hey everyone, I've gotten a little mixed up as to how many turns we've had since the last Diet. Are we getting close to the next one now?

[phonicsmonkey]

This is turn 29 - Cecil told me the Diet will take place between 30 and 31. So we have one more turn after this one closes.

[phonicsmonkey]

Lothar's treasury, now established in Genoa.

How did you get it out of besieged Marseille?

[Zim]

Looking forward to it, especially with all the new developments. I gotta say, even with all the special events and such we cooked up in past game, I don't think we were actually in such a tough spot after the first ten turns of any game.

And we even have a bonafide rebel leaving heroic victory markers everywhere, while The Pizza Menace looms ever larger.

So, how's everyone doing?

[phonicsmonkey]

I think we're waiting for Tristan, at least that was the last thing posted in the saves thread.

[Zim]

I wasn't saying anything about the wait for the turn (for all I knew, the time limit hadn't passed), just saying I find the current situation exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing how things go.

[phonicsmonkey]

Ah sorry! Me too, looking forward to the Diet - although as things go I might find myself posting late at night from a hotel while drunk

[Zim]

The best way to post in a politically charged setting that can greatly affect your character, I believe.

[Nightbringer]

Well, it is probably appropriate, what else do you think Elector counts did but party party party?
(well, actually a lot of things, BUT THATS NOT THE POINT!)

[_Tristan_]

I think we're waiting for Tristan, at least that was the last thing posted in the saves thread.

No, I have let Cecil know what needing doing so the save is his right now, I believe...

As to my treasury, I traveled with it, how else could I have recruited so many mercs ? Now I've pooled all the resources Genoa had to offer... Off to Marseilles then to try and relieve that siege...

[Ignoramus]

Hey guys, sorry for my recent lack of activity. Harold's going to be in the thick of things from now on.

[TheFlax]

Reading everything that's going on, I'm anxious to get back in the game. Here's to hoping a new character pops up soon.

[Zim]

Just let me accidentally kill my character off as always seems to happen, even though I don't even use my generals that heavily. THen the adoptions will come rolling in.

Although this one has some durability with his +2 hp.

[_Tristan_]

There's one available this turn I believe... Or at lleast there was one whn I played my turn... Had a cool name and good stats if I'm not mistaken... Matthias something or other...

The adopter was Jens Herden, IIRC

[Zim]

Just posted an IC thread. It's meant to be a spot where the electors can run into eachother and interact in a more casual setting than the Diet, in the same vein as the Tavern or Hippodrome in previous games.

[Cecil XIX]

I've been asked to make a public clarification on the status of Lothar Zirn. Since no declaration of war has been made regarding him, he is legally still a normal member of the Reich. Being banned in the Diet does not make you a rebel.

[Cecil XIX]

Heads up guys, I'm going to be moving on Thursday. Although this won't affect the (well-timed) Diet Session, I may be a little slow to communicate for the next few days. Incidentally, I'd like to start participating in V&V as a player as well as the GM, however without a clearer separation between the two I wouldn't be comfortable having both roles. For that reason I'm proposing an OOC rules change.

Rules Change 4.1 -

The following rule:
*2.1 Cecil XIX is the Game Master (GM) for Vassals & Valour. He is the only person who can decide when turns begin and end, either personally or through a temporarily appointed delegate. He has the final say on all rules disputes.

Will be changed to read: (bolded for emphasis)
*2.1 Cecil XIX is the Game Master (GM) for Vassals & Valour. He is the only person who can decide when turns begin and end, either personally or through a temporarily appointed delegate. He has the final say on all rules disputes, except those that his character is involved in. Such disputes will be resolved by a neutral third party to be determined by the arguing players.
