OOC Thread

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Basileus Philadelphos Ptolemaios:

"Excellent! Then I shall reinstate him as the commander of the 1st Syrian Army. He may let them retrain and restock in Syria as planned, or he may order them in another direction, as he deems fit.

It should also be recognized that for his efforts to the kingdom and to his king, Leontiskos Thraikikos has now earned the rank of Strategos Hetairos! Let all men of the Council treat him with due respect."

From the Rules:

Strategos Hetairos
Requirements:
(1) Must have won more than 10 battles. Battles against brigands do not count.
(2) Must own an Estate.

If johnhughthom have fought more than 10 battles and they are just not listed in the Battle Reports thread then he may have that Rank. Thogh, in that case, when did he received the Strategos Epilektos rank?

Ignore that. Forgot that john was an Allied ruler for a short time.

Paul D - The game revolves around the communication between players. Whether it's in threads or in private. Without it it's just a big singleplayer campaign.
Also, during that time I think there was a busy naval trade between Alexandreia and Greece. So, it's always a chance to meet some merchant ships that travel in one of those directions. Also, considering the size of your fleet it's always possible to send one of your ships back with urgent messages.

See how much he trusts you to run things TCV?

[The Celtic Viking]

Yeah, what have I ever done to deserve such distrust from you, Ibn?

[johnhughthom]

Alexandros Thraikikos is an Olympic victor!

What a pity Myth stopped playing, some good rping potential there...

[The Celtic Viking]

Yeah. Speaking of which, I think I'll send a PM to those who have disappeared since the first council to see what's what.

Some sort of Activity thread might be an idea, if people are going to be busy for a while they could post that, and perhaps orders for the next few turns. The op could be edited to show current/inactive/on hold players.

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, we kind of have that already, albeit not in one unified thread: you can put orders in your SOT (that's the "O" in SOT ) and if you say you have to go inactive for a while, the Treasury report will grey you out and freeze your account. The library also keeps track on how many Sessions each avatar has taken part in.
