OOC Thread

[Paul D]

I should hope not, or else you enslaved our own people!

[The Celtic Viking]

Yeah, that would be slightly... how shall we say? "Inappropriate".

[LeoCordis]

No, I displaced the population. In EB there is occupying/displacing/enslavement with the latter being the worse. I chose displacement because I imagined there would have to be some sort of punishment for the province being bribed.

And TCV I will have to remember to do that.

[Paul D]

why would you punish the common people for the decision of a treacherous magistrate?

[LeoCordis]

The people went along with it. The whole town is traitorous and dispelling isn't that harsh a punishment. At least they're not slaves.

Guys, this is a great argument to be having, but for God's sake, why are you having it OOC instead of roleplaying it IC? It's playing football on a slanted hill full of sharp stones when there's a clean and level field right next to it just waiting to be used.

Sorry I haven't been active recently, I'll try to catch up today. One thing I noticed is the income, I know it's been mentioned before but naval trading income seems hugely inbalanced. The weakness was supposed to be susceptibility to pirates, two people have had their income cut in half by pirates, but are still making twice my income. Then again estates can be affected by bandits so that argument makes even less sense. Oh, and if Ammonion is my province shouldn't I be receiving it's (meagre) income?

[The Celtic Viking]

I've been thinking about the Ammonion thing, and the reason why I haven't been giving you that income is quite simple. The rules make no mention of allied kings getting income from their settlement, but does refer to the Royal Treasury thread where all ways to increase your personal funds are supposed to be listed. There's no mention of anything it there, either, so I can't be giving it to you. Sorry. If it turns out that you should get it but he just didn't write it down for whatever reason, you will be compensated for it later, but with The Man not being present, I can only go by what I actually have in front of me.

This doesn't really belong here, but since I'm writing to you anyway, I believe I never thanked you for hosting that Crusader Kings game? Well, thanks. It was good fun while it lasted.

Edit: Oh, and also a little short notice, but we didn't earn twice as much as you even with our income halved. You're forgetting that we still paid the full 750 upkeep, which puts us about 103 money more than those with an estate in Alexandreia (the upkeep of the supervisors) and 6-700 more than you. So it's not quite as big a difference as you make it out to be, though it's certainly something that can be discussed.
